Safety Around
The World
By Martha Johnson,
Podge Safety Consultant
SLOGANS have been used foj
years to sell everything from
popcorn to world peace.
Some pretty clever slogans
have been dreamed up to help
stop accidents, too.
According to the National
Safety Council, however, the
best safety slogan ever written
isn’t worth a whoop unless it’s
backed up by plenty of action
and a good, sound continuing
safety program.
These safety officials are con.
vineed that a good safety slogan
ran help a good safety program.
So, just for fun, they’ve com¬
piled and translated a list of
safety slogan used successfully
around the world, to show that
safety is sold everywhere.
China: “Let your head guide
your feet.”
England: “More patient pe¬
destrians mean less pedestrian
patients.”
France: “Caution prevents suf¬
fering.”
cowardly, Germany: "Caution is not
and carelessness is not
cou rage.”
Hungary: “Go slower — get
farther.”
Israel: “Life and death are on
the roads.”
Mexico: “An automobile is al¬
ways as drunk as the man driv¬
ing it.”
Russia: “Better arrive late —.
than never.”
South Africa: “A cat has nine
lives—a pedestrian only one.”
Sweden: “Watch where you
step, or you’ll step into trouble.”
United States: "Let safety
share your ride. Make every
drive a safety drive!”

Gem Thoughts for Meditation
‘‘For who upon the hearth can start a fire,
And never warm the stone?
Or who can cheer another’s heart,
And not his own?
I stilled a hungry infant’s cry,
With kindness filled a stranger’s cup,
And lifting others.
Found that I was lifted up.”
