That’s the number one rule for a safe Labor Day week end trip, according to Allen Charlesworth, Travel Manager of the Georgia Motor Club (AAA). “Trying to fit trips that should take a week into a three day weekend lowers driving efficien cy and tempts motorists to speed. Tragic accidents are all too often the result,” Charlesworth said. He also pointed out that ex haustion from driving too far in one day spoils the fun of visiting new places, and that a long one day return trip leaves the motor ist unfit for the next day’s work. The motor club official suggests that Georgians "take safe advant age” of the summer’s last long weekend by traveling short dis tances and discovering the pleas ures available in their native state. “Georgians are fortunate,” Charlesworth said, “in having so many delightful places within easy driving distance. From the gold panning region of Dahlone ga to the Golden Isles of the coast, Georgia offers a wealth of recreation facilities.” The travel expert mentioned the state parks as a fine solution to Labor Day travel problems, observing that at least one park is within a few miles of every Georgia community. “Every resident of the state should also at some time visit such spots as the Little White House at Warm Springs; Ida Ca son Callaway Gardens, near Chipley; Okefenokee Swamp Park, near Waycross; and the natural wonders of North Geor gia’s mountains,” added Charles worth.
