Traffic safety is a year-round job. Communities throughout the United States stage never-ending- campaigns to keep their citizens from winding up as statistics in an accident box score. They wage constant battle to keep drivers, passengers, and pedestrians off casualty lists.
Several times a year, however, these campaigns must be intensified: during the Memorial day weekend in May, for example, and again during the Independence day holiday in July and the Labor day holiday in September.
Now, during December, comes the week-long orgy of blood and screams which twist accident statistics all out of proportion. This week of slaughter begins a few days before Christmas, then settles down for a few days before it hits us again with the New Year.
Again this holiday season, the Daily Trojan is joining with other newspapers in an effort to bring the seriousness of America’s accident record to its readers.
To do this, we have gathered statistics, photographs, cartoons, and detailed information about the causes of accidents. During the week, we will try to show you that the need of traffic safety is not an idle dream of an ivory tower statistician. In safe driving is the answer to whether some of us will be alive for thc new year.
The popular reaction to safety campaigns is a shrug and some remark about the “other guy.” Well ... a total of 779 of those “other guys” died in Los Angeles county last year as a result of automobile accidents. To their families it ceased to be the “other guy.” It was right at home.
This could happen to you or me. Unless we Trojans heed the rules of safe and courteous driving during the coming holidays, some of us might not be back.
Take our motto to heart during the holidays: TROJANS, DON’T GET PUT BELOW, DRIVE SAFELY.
