“LIGHTS ON" FOR LABOR DAY Hoosier motorists today were requested to take part in a “Lights On For Safety” program over the approaching Labor Day weekend. In anticipation of heavy volumes of traffic during the final summer time holiday of the year, state and local traffic officials were mobilizing every available resource.

The official 78-hour Labor Day holiday begins at 6:00 pm., Friday, September 3 and continues though midnight Monday, Sept. 6. In support of official safety measures, the Indiana Traffic Safety Foundation and the Indiana Office of Traffic Safety request motorists to turn on their low beam headlights, both day and night, whenever they travel during the three-day holiday. In addition to using headlights, motorists were urged to reduce their top speed, particularity in heavy traffic; to hold passing to an absolute minimum, especially on two lane highways; and to be alert for traffic signs and signals. Albert E. Huber, executive director of the Safety Foundation said “Most traffic collisions are the end result of driver error. We can reduce traffic losses only when every driver accepts the fact that in today’s traffic he can and must do a better job of driving every second he is behind the wheel.”

Card of Thanks We wish to express our gratitude to friends, neighbors, and schoolmates who were so thoughtful during our recent bereavement. Your kindness will long be remembered. Family of William David Brown
