,t tttoidtey, DecemTser 26, 1983 THET McnENRT «1ia1RiJEauS9 Pag# Start Bright Driving Future In 1964 With Sale Holiday Record To date, McHenry county has one of its worst records in history for traffic fatalities. The approaching weekend, to be celebrated in the customary spirit of gaiety, might well add to this unfortunate distinction unless drivers exercise greater regard for their own lives „and those of others than they have shown to date. "You have only a week to live!" How would most motorists react to such a statement? The driver in good health would say it was ridiculous, but unless there is a different attitude on the part of motorists, the prediction that hundreds will die and thousands more will be injured on th& nation's highways over the New Year's weekend may include some of those who scoffed. Although Illinois still ranks well below the national average, fatalities this year have already exceeded the total for 1962. Only by exercising extreme caution can we expect to keep the toll from rising and assure a bright driving future in 1964.
