Care and caution in driving and walking are necessary at all times --- but particularly so in the holiday season; December is a dangerous month, with more hours of darkness and changeable weather conditions. Preoccupied shoppers, young and old, are abroad in great numbers. In the excitement of Christmas time, people sometimes tend to forget their customary caution. As the end of 1948 approaches, let us all join together in determining that for the whole Province we will make it a safe as well as a happ Christmas and New Year.
