FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS Sportsmanlike DRIVING Backs TB Fight © <s* A PO OR '0, V i DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE Why don’t drinking and driv ing mix? The answers are no longer guess-work, says the AAA driver training' book, “ Sportsmanlike Driving.” The facts are now known. Alcohol reduces reaction time. A drinking driver is slow to sense danger. He’s slow to re act to it. He feels relaxed and confident. He loses normal fear of consequences. He gaily throws caution to the winds. Oh, maybe he isn’t “drunk.” Maybe he “had only a drink or two” — like the late George Brown! “George insisted the left side of the white line was ours,” said his wife—in the hospital after the accident. “He pulled right in front of that big truck.” Attention wanders; eye mus cles misbehave; judgment goes bad. Drinking drivers misjudge their own and other cars. They are hazy about critical things— speed, distance, road width, lanes. There’s mighty good sense in the old advice, “ When you drive, don't drink; when you drink, don’t drive.” It's taking a smart detour around hospitals and cemeteries! — -—r a c : i ’ •...* * j Jo Stafford of Hob C rosby’s pop ular radio “Club 15” guts behind th e fight a g ain st tuberculosis in a show to be b ro adcast throughout th e country during the 1 »51 C hrist m as Seal Sale.
