CO-OPERATION ASKED FOR
ACCIDENT PREVENTION
An intertiational campaign to re-
duce highway traffic accidents is being
inaugurated by the International As-
sociation of Chiefs of Police, and will
have the 0 -operation of the Goderich
police, Chief A. C. Ross states.
Beginning May 15, police officers
throughout the IMited States, and
Canada will check the brakes, lights,.
tires, windshield wipers and horns of
all ears involved in traffic accidents•or
'Moving traffic violations.
"This program- is timely," Chief
Ross points out, "It will be launched
just as the summer season begins,
when we can expect the roads to be
erowded with greater numbers of cars
that at any dine since before the war.
Many of these cars will be, dangerously,
old, and unless they are given scrupul-
ous mechanical care they will be likely
to eause accidents.
"Far this reessona•we invite the ce-
operation of the. car -driving public.
We urge every !driver in the town to
have his car checked Voluntarily.
Drivers who already know that they
are driving defective cars are urged,
for their sake and for the safety of
others, not to take a chance in driving
until- repairs have been niade."
'Chief Ross also emphasizes the fact
that during the program which begins
on May 15- motorists will be urged
to improve their driving and pledge
themselves to take _every possible driv-
ing precaution at all' times. "Safe
drivers and safe ears combine to pre-
vent accidents and save lives," he says.
"I am confident that in this town we.
can do our -part of the job as our
citizens rally to the three-point call
to 'Check your Dfiving-Check your
a r -C heck eaceidents'."
