Speaking on the topic “What Price Safety," Long emphasized that wo can't be too careful
“We do things on the highways that we would not think of doing anyplace else,” Long said. “These things can be seen everyday and they typify the driver who has a poor attitude. It all boils down

Long cited the case of the light jumper who pulls up along side your car at a red light and almost yells a challenge to you to race him across the intersection.

Long pointed out that il Is useless to shun modern ’devices be cause they are dangerous. Doing away with automobiles isn’t going to solve the problem. The public has to learn to use them wisely so as to get the most benefit out of them.

Most of us “ordinary” citizcns dont’ spend much time worrying aliout traffic salcty. Whenever we lead about horrible accidents tm I the highways, we pause to shake our heads and say to ourselves •'something ought to be done.”
And then we go on to read the comics.

offers a possibility of reducing the number of automobile fatalities deserves immediate attention.
■'Headlights attract attention and that is the main objective. Vehicles on th« highways with various colors blend into the background under certain circumstances and are difficult to see. This is especially true when the sun gets low about 3 or 4 p.m.," Miller said yesterday.

"Then, when you leave the dark tunnel, the outside sunlight is very bright. But if you should have to stop for some reason, it is difficult to see the vehicle* behind you through your rearview mirror. Again headlights would add to your safety,” he contends.
