The previous year, 1967, there were eight fatal collisions with nine killed occurring three on December 24 with three killed; three on December 26 with four killed; one on December 27 with one killed; and one on Decem ber 28 with one killed. “A safe holiday depends on everyone, not just the Highway Patrol,” Col. Thompson said. “Everyone must drive carefully if we are to have a fatality free holiday season.” He reminded motorists of the “crusade” to reduce highway fatalities during “December—A Month for Special Care on the Highways”. Particularly, he said, “keep down speed, don’t drink while driving, and know the security of wearing safety seat belts.” Col. Thompson said radar and unmarked cars will be used ex tensively. He promised “fair and consistent” enforcement of all speed and other highway laws. On the overall traffic fatality picture, there has been some improvement in the last few weeks. On December 15, 770 fatal collisions with 934 deaths had been counted this year; a year ago on December 15 there had been 805 collisions with 956 deaths. The number of fatal collisions is down 35, but with a decrease of only 22 fatalities. In Uie last 15 days of the month last year, there were 42 fatalities in 28 collisions. ©HRISTMAS ©RESETTINGS £ sew. inc. Just want to say we hope you have the merriest of Christmases.

The long Christmas holiday starting Wednesday, December 24, Christmas Eve, and contin uing through Sunday, December 28, will be no holiday for them. They will be on the highways in strength, using every enforce ment technique to assure a safe holiday for motorists, Col. P. Frank Thompson, Patrol com mander, said. Heaviest patrol strength will be in the hours generally from 4 p.m. to midnight each of the five days, but there will be a considerable number patrolling at all times. He said that last year, there were 11 fatal collisions on the comparable five days, with 18 fatalities, occuring three on Der cember 24 with three killed; V W 1#^ t * 3* 'ij6 V /A y e55HU)5 Once again the spirit of Christmas radiates its promise of hope, love and peace throughout the land.
