To prevent Me reckless spending of lives every Christmas* tAe National Safety Coundl Ms called on American to Join in a nationwide Christmas savings plan to stop accidents. The Council's yuletide ledger shows a loss of 740 lives, from all accidents, during the Christ-,, mas holidays lat year -- and the toll of 556 lives in traffte' was the highest on record. ,"It is time," Ned H. Dearborn, Council president, said, "(or America to start saving -- and stop squandering -- lives. If every American will Join this savings plan before the Christmas holidays, a real yuletide bonus -- human life -- will bt paid." One hundred and sixty-three national organizations, city and state officials, safety councils and civic leaders, have joined the Council in the Christmas savings plan. They will unite in crsatlSg an awareness of the special holiday hazards, and will enlist volr " •} ' { f'-tt • untary cooperation from every American to 'hold accidents to a minimum. The Christmas-New Year holiday season is the most hazardous single period of the year, according to Council statistics. In traffic accidents alone, twice as many persons are killed during a Christmas holiday period as on the same days of the preceding two weeks. Heavier travel and the festive spirit of the holiday season increase the nofmal winter hazards, such as bad weather, slippery roads and more hours of darkness. The Council suggests four safety measures for Christmas pleasures: 1. Start automobile trips early and take it easy. Be extremely cautious in bad weather and darkness. Watch out for pedestrians. 2. Keep Christmas trees in water and away from fire. Be sure good 3 Watch out for falls, at home *nd away from home. Be wary - - 4.; j of icy sidewalks. Falls are second only to traffic as accident killers. 4. Be «, moderate In drinking, and don?t drive if you have been drinking. Tipsy- pedestrians and drinking drivers are most common during the holidays. GUSTS O.OP. CANDIDATE Formal announcement was made early this week by Robert J.
