"Buy with Confidence" Valuable -•-Handle With Car*- : Let's wrap up the New Year holiday safely this year »H end the joyous holiday season with fewer broken homes. The holiday season is significant of life. Yet every holiday hundreds of lives are snuffed out or ruined by careless accidents. Most of the deaths and injuries are in traffic mishaps. The National Safety Council has found that the daily traffic death toll during the Christmas and New Year holiday season is more than twice the annual daily average. Family gatherings and other festivities of the year-end holiday seaaon bring the peak travel of the winter -- an$l when more cars are on the move there is more chance of an accident. Early darkness plus bad weather add up to poor visibility. Fogged windshields also make it difficult to see and avoid accident situations. Rain, snow and ice mean slippery streets and highways, but thousands of holiday drivers fail to adjust their speed to hazardous conditions. The good fellowship of the season stimulates more drinking -- and too often the celebrants clink glasses with death. An accident can be, tragic at any time, but at this time of year it is doubly so. And yet the season is ruined in thousands of homes every year by suffering and tragedy from accidents that need never have happened. Many a Christmas tree and gaily wrapped gift have become mocking reminders of someone riot there to enjoy them. T " Remember that your life is the most valuable present you can give your family or frten<fc. Handle it ytriUu-sare. Don't lose it in the holiday ruth. >. . . > •••'• LILLIE SCRIVNER DEES Mr. and Mrs. LArry Huck, Sr., and his sister, Myrtle, of Elgin attended the funeral of an aunt, Mrs. Lillie Scrivner, in Chicago on Monday of last week.

Subscribe for the Plaindealer DEATH TOLL The nation's acci(^ntaT deaths during the holiday weekend reached well over the 750 mark. By far, the greatest number of these were caused by automobile crashes. Fires took a number of lives also.
