Traffic v
Safety
1. There will be many homes
without a Merry Christmas or a
Happy New Year as a result
of traffic accidents. Your Ge
orgia State Patrol predicts that
22 s persons will be killed ir
traffic accidents during the Ch
ristmas holidays, and another
19 killed during the New Year
holiday period.
2. With the joy of Christmas
holidays we are also reminded
of the tragic death toll In high
way accidents. Your Georgia
State Patrol gives the follow
ing prediction: 22 deaths, 330
injuries, 880 accidents. You can
avoid becoming one of these
numbers by driving defensively,
using courtesy, caution and co
mmon sense.
3. Your Georgia State Patrol
wishes you a happy and prop
perous New Year. However, if
the Patrol’s prediction is ful
filled it will be an unhappy
occasion for many motorists
and their families. The pre
diction for the New Year holi
day period is: 19 deaths, 285
injuries in 760 accidents.
4. A happy holiday can be ruined
by a traffic accident. Remember
to drive safely.
5. Make yours a safe holiday
season Drive Defensively.
Use courtesy, caution and
common sense while driving.
6. Alcohol is a drug which slows
your reaction time. In an em
ergency situation in traffic it
can cause fatal results. If you
must drink-don’t drive. Alcohol
is involved in about 25,000 tra
ffic deaths in the United States
each year.
7. A message from your Georgia
State Patrol: We need your coo
peration to prevent a tragic
holiday death toll. Please drive
safely. If every driver will obey
traffic laws and practice defen
sive driving rules it is possible
to have an accident-free holiday
season; then we can ALL have
a real Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year.
This Is A True Story
It was a week before Christmas, and the shopping rush was
at its height. Bright lights glowed in windows, stores were
jammed, and everybody carried gaily wrapped packages -
everybody, including a woman who was newly a widow. Her
husband had died two weeks previously, but the woman was
all the more determined that it should be a cheerful Christmas
for her eignt children who ranged from a baby of sixteen months
to a girl of seventeen. Loaded with bundles of toys, the mother
was hurrying home. It was true that the toys were the cheapest
to be found, but they were all she could afford, and she knew that
they would bring a measure of happiness to the children.
Her bundles in her arms, the woman stepped from a trolley.
There was a scream of tires as a motorist desperately applied
his brakes, following by a sickening thud. The woman was
limp when they picked her 1 up; shediedan hour later in a hospital.
The toys, bent and broken, were scattered along the streets
in a smear of blood. And a few blocks away, eight children
without a father waited and waited, and wondered why their
mother didn’t come home.
The tragedy created a brief stir in the newspapers and then,
being just one of a seemingly endless series of accidents,
was quickly forgotten. But there was a newspaper reporter
who didn’t forget it. He couldn’t, try as he would. To this
day it remains starkly vivid, a stabbing memory he cannot
erase, a vision that turns up to haunt him on sleepless nights.
And each succeeding year brings its reminders.
When the Christmas season rolls around with its atmosphere
of Yule cheer, the reporter cannot help but think of that other
Christmas season. When he sees the store windows of toys,
he is reminded of smashed toys in a pool of blood. And when
he sees children with radiant faces eagerly awaiting Santa Claus,
thinks of those eight orphans, and wonders what ever became
of them.
This reporter has written thousands of stories about automobile
accidents without giving them any afterthought. Of late, however,
he finds himself brooding on the cost of accidents and the apparent
indifference of the public. He finds himself bitterly wishing
that he might write the complete, uncensored truth about an
accident, just once. The truth is, he is ‘fed up’ with writing
accident stories that are always the same, even though the
names are different. He is tired of using slick, pat little phrases
that skim the surface and reveal only a fraction of the truth.
Expressions like SEVERLY LACERATED, INTERNALLY
INJURED, RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS, SUCCUMED TO SHOCK
after all, he asks himself, what do they amount to? They hide
more than they tell.He would like to take one of these accidents
and write the plain, unvarnished truth about it from beginning
to end. He would like to tell some of these people-in-a-hurry
what a fatal accident really is like - how human flesh looks
after the wheel of an automobile has passed over it, leaving
the tire tread stamped on the body in a blue-black welt; what
a broken windshield can do to a face; the look in a person’s
eyes when he realizes that he is going to die; how the death
rattle sounds; how somebody's father or mother, sister or
brother looks after death takes a good hold and RIGOR MORTIS
sets in; how the victim’s family sits around at home, waiting
and wondering what could have happened; how the relatives
react to the impact of the awful news; how they feel when they’re
asked what kind of coffin they want
But the reporter knows that this wouldn’t do. Such an account
would be too horrible, too sickening, altogether too brutal for
the readers of a family newspaper. Fortunately, there are other
ways of employing the, printed word in the fight for safety, and
these are not being neglected. Drivers and pedestrains alike
must be made to realize just how criminal carelessness can
be, and the cost of accidents must be made clear to all, for
not until the public wakes up, opens it eyes to the horror of
accidents, and really demands that something be done, can the
staggering waste of life, day after day and month after month,
be cut short.
Until that day of awakening, DEATH ON WHEELS ROLLS
ON I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What Is Cranberry?
Although cranberries are not
commonly grown in Georgia,
we are all reminded of their
importance during the holiday
season.
Our native cranberry is a
creeping and trailing plant,
somewhat woody and with min
ute elliptic, evergreen leaves.
The nodding flowers are borne
on short erect stalks,, each
corolla divided almost to the
base Into four separate petals.
The cranberry plant thrives
on marsh land, bogs or peaty
swamps from Newfoundland to
Minnesota, south to Illinois and
North Carolina. In the fall these
bogs turn a vivid red and the
large, firm, tart berries are
ready for harvesting.
In the old days, harvesting
was done by men crawling
through the vines collectlng*the
berries with a wooden scoop.
Now the berries are collected
‘ sincere gratitude.
Western Auto

GLENN & EVELYN TRIBBLE
with machines pushed through
the bogs like lawn mowers. In
some places, the bogs are flo
oded and the berries float to
the top, making collection
easier.
From the fields the berries
are taken to a packing plant
where they are cleaned and
given the bounce test. Good
cranberries bounce ... bad ones
don’t. Here they are fed over a
series of “baffle boards” and
are divided according to how
well they bounce off the boards.
The least lively of the lot drop
out and are discarded.
In order to pass Inspection,
fresh cranberries must be
clean, mature andfirm, and free
from damage. Cranberries
don’t bruise as easily as some
fruits but crushed berries and
those that are leaky should not
be used.
