You —the man, woman or teen-ager behind the wheel —have a big responsibility! '
In 195 0, 3 5,000 persons were killed in traffic accidents. Last year there was an increasing
crescendo of death on the highways—the worst fatality toll in a decade. •
What can you do about it?
Your acts of safe driving are your contributions toward a greatly lessened death toll. Every
time you lower your speed to stay within safe limits, drive more carefully as night and weather
conditions demand extra care, stay in your own traffic lane and abide by all the rules of
the road, you are contributing to greater highway safety. Being a safer driver is like giving
blood for a transfusion to save a life. Taking a heedless chance may spill your blood—or
someone’s —and waste it on the highways. (
10,000 lives to be saved in 1952 is a goal worth striving for by all who drive or walk.
Even half that number saved would help stem the rushing tide of death on our highways.
Don’t ride with the reckless! Most drivers play fair and observe the traffic rules, but some
—the speeders, cowboys, road hogs, drinking-driyers and chronic accident repeaters —must
be forced to conform. Temptation to follow their bad examples means that more lives will’
become death statistics. v
Beisel fish with your own life —careful with the lives of others. „
Fifteen Dollars On the One Thou
sand Dollars, be levied on all tax
able property in said County of
Brantley, (save that exempted by
the Constitution and Laws of the
State of Georgia, as to personalty
and homestead exemption.)
It is further ordered and resolved
that all such taxes be collected by
the Tax Commissioners of said
County of Brantley, as provided by
law.
