mobiles are potential statistics and all It takes is minimal negligence on a busy highway for any one of us to haw our names added to the records like in all similar tragedies we never realize their significance until they happen close to home and Sunday accident has made many of Kenneth Allan youthful peers consider more personally the responsibility of staying alert while driving and always driving defensively prepared for errors of others There is never any pat answer to the mournful queries of the whys or such sad occurrences but there is always the prayerful wish that something can be salvaged and meaningfully derived We should examine more carefully our own driving habits and surely if we do this no victims have lost their lives In vain but rather they can act as reminders that In our mechanized world of automobiles for most transportation we must treat ourselves and our passengers with the respect and consideration that we have them do unto us Wegive prayers for the famlles and victims of Sunday mishap We share with them our heartfelt sympathy for what has and might occur Hopefully we have learned from the accident to be more careful ourselves when on the highway homeward bound remembering always that someone is waiting for us and It is our responsibility to see that we reach our destination safely
