RECEIVE NO MERCY!
THE man who takes a drink when he
knows he is going to drive a car is
deliberately asking for trouble.
It is time for strict discipline on this . . .
on mad speed ... on all forms of road selfish-
ness that lead to accidents.
Persons convicted of being intoxicated while
in charge of a motor vehicle will receive no
mercy. It is better to drive carefully than to
lose your driver's license . . perhaps per-
manently . . in addition to receiving a
severe court sentence.
