Effective Admonition
NEW PLEA FOR SAFETY A sensible idea is being adopted gradually in America of using public address loud-speakers at sports stadia, with the object, of appealing to motorists just before the conclusion of games, to exercise care on their way home by driving with caution and consideration. The plan is proving effective a contribution to safety on the road. The following is a sample of the messages being broadcast by public address system at some of the sports gatherings attended largely by motorists: "Your attention, please. \\ e want to make a suggestion. Most of ns will soon he motoring home. Let us take it easy. Let us avoid accidents. Drive carefully! Give the other fellow a break. Take no chances —Safety First." The idea is such a good one that it might well be de\-eloped in this country. Horse-race meetings and cricket and football are attended largely by motorists. A courteous admonition on behalf of safe driving at some appropriate moment just toward the close of racing or games would cost nothing, yet conceivably prove a valuable contribution to road safety.
