'Don't Let Death
Take Your Holiday'
“Don’t Let Death Take Your
Holiday!”
That slogan will keynote the
National Safety Council’s nation-!
wide campaign to hold down the
huge Christmas-New Year’s ac
cident toll.
Each year accidents cast a
shadow on the holiday celebra
tion of thousands of families
throughout the nation, according
to Council figures which show
the year-end holiday season to
be the most dangerous period in
the year.
Joining forces with the Council
in a united effort to call public
attention to the extra holiday
hazards and the extra caution
needed to overcome them are city
and state officals, civic groups,
local safety councils, and 130 na
tional organizations.
The Council said that heavier
travel and the festive spirit of
the holiday season add to the
normal winter hazards, such as
bad weather, slippery roads and
more hours of darkness. Traffic
accident deaths on both Christ
mas Eve and Christmas Day total
more than two or three times the
annual daily average.
“Every family in the country
looks forward to Christmas as
the time for joy and celebration,
and that is what the holiday per
iod should be,” said Ned H. Dear
born, president of the Council.
“But every year thousands of
families see Christmas joy turn
ed into suffering and tragedy be
cause of unnecessary and pre
ventable accidents.
“To keep death from taking
your holiday costs nothing, takes
no time and requires only a little
effort—refusing to take the drink
you can’t handle, yielding the
right-of-way, waiting for the
light to change, discarding a
string of Christmas tree lights
with worn insulation.
“These are little things—but
they pay off big in happiness.
They will keep the lights burn
ing in your home, keep the holly
wreath on your door, and pre
serve for you and yours the de
light that is America at Christ
mas.”

It began in 1907, this idea of buying Christmas
Seals to overcome tuberculosis . . . and each
Christmas since, the crescendo has swelled. Last
year, it reached a mighty chorus of more than
15, 000,000 American families.
