AHKWKKdlT VrvHidcnt “Brown, you’ve com pleu ‘d vour training course, and now you’re ready to start out on your first run as a full-fledged street car operator. We've required you to take more hours of training than the govern ment requires an aviator to have Be fore it grants him a limited commer cial pilot's license. You've passed physical examinations stricter than an insurance examination. Your mental reactions have been tested hy that machine of ours and it shows you can think fast and act quickly in an emergency. And now you've completed your six months' probation period. You're a picked man and we’ve taught you the best we know how. lint if you're going to make good in this job, you'll have to catch the spirit of our men, and that's something we can't teach you. Do you know what these men of ours did last year? He’re i'oiniting tin You, Brown They reduced accidents 19 per cent under the 1928 total. And the 1929 figure was 47 per cent better than 1926. Last year they ear- ried nearly 90,000,(100 passengers without a single passenger latalitv. Those are real records, Brown, as good as you'll find on any street railway in tin* country. Carefulness is foremost among the qualifications of the picked men who operate your street cars. Careless men are quickly weeded out. Hut there is no restriction, no check, on automobile drivers. W hen you sit on the jury in a damage suit hearing, give the trainman an even break in your decision. “Now you're one of them and we re counting on you to hold up the standard. You owe it to your passengers, the public and the other men to he careful all the time." Georgia POWER COMPANY A CITIZEN WHEREVER W E S E R ' E
