To most of them death will come There will be no longâ€"drawnâ€" out period of suffering, or fear. A moment before their sudden obliteration they will be happy, carefree.

"Safety can be bought, and we are asking for donations from every motorist over the holi day. A donation of a little e tra time, and a little extra thought. We ask each driver to give a few extra moments on his vacation trip, se that he doesâ€" n‘t have to take senseless chan ces in the neverâ€"ending tem sion of trying to get ahead of the car in front. If he starts his journey prepared to give up a little time to the com mon good, he will drive relarâ€" ed and arrive relaxed. And if he will give a little extra thought to the needs and convenience of other road users, as well as to the avoidâ€" anee of danger for everybody our highways over the holi day wil be a lot seafer, and a lot happier".
