Patrol Plans
24-Hour Duty
For Holidays
ATLANTA — If you plan to do
any highway traveling during
the Thanksgiving season — and
literally thousands of motorists
usually do — you’d better make
up your mind right now to drive
carefully and sensibly. Reason:
Georgia’s State Patrol will be out
in full force to catch traffic
violators.
All personnel and equipment at
the 34 patrol posts scattered over
the state, as well as at Atlanta
headquarters, will be pressed
into service in an all-out enforce
ment effort to hold highway ac
cidents and fatalities to a mini
mum, according to Col. W. C.
Dominy, director of the Georgia
Department of Public Safety.
“All vacations and week-end
passes for troopers during that
period have been cancelled,” Col.
Dominy said. “Our top strength
of 350 men, including regular
troopers and administrative staff
members, and every available
patrol car will work around the
clock in a concentrated move
ment to maintain safety tor high
way users.
“In many states, the highway
traffic enforcement drive for the
Thanksgiving period begins at
midnight Nov. 21 and ends at
midnight Nov. 25. But here in
Georgia, we’ll go on special duty
six hours earlier and work six
hours longer. In other words, our
specially planned traffic safety
maneuver goes into action all
ever the state at 6 p.m. Wednes
day, Nov. 21, and continues till
6 a.m. Monday, Nov. 26.”
Last year during the 60-hour
period making up Thanksgiving’s
long week-end traffic accidents
took a toll of fifteen lives in
Georgia.
In appealing to the motoring
public for cooperation, Georgia’s
safety director emphasized that
while his trained units will be
doing all that is humanly possible
to maintain safety on the records,
it is, in the final analysis, pri
marily up to the individual
drivers themselves to prevent
accidents.
He urges motorists to exercise
every precaution at all times.
Among the things to remember:
Observe the rules of the road;
obey all traffic laws. Don’t speed;
don’t pass cars while going up
hill or around a curve; don’t take
unnecessary chances any time,
and above all else don’t drive
while drinkihg.
In short, Mr. and Mrs. Georgia
Motorist, Use commons sense
every second you’re behind the
wheel.

ting down on illegal night hunt
ing.

require shotguns not only to be
unloaded when carried in a car,
