TSt m J 1 1 ITS' S3 mm Our Friday S Sales ! "Let's Be More Careful" From every quarter, every class, comes favorable response to the appeal appearing daily in these columns and elsewhere to be . more careful. But the only way to make the campaign effective is for every man, woman and child to join in the movement to help make travel on Portland streets safe, especially during this holiday time, when the crowd on the streets will be abnormally " large. ..... Don't dismiss the thought with the subconscious assurance that YOU are always' careful and put it up to "the other fellow." That is exactly why the campaign for Safety First has not resulted in a notable lessening of accidents so many people THINK they are careful. But they are not careful enough, as the constantly increasing number of accidents shows. To make it universally applicable the new slogan is "Let's Be More Careful" All it requires is to ow down when crossing the street, and take one little second to look, look, LOOK, a little more carefully than usual. People who take this seriously home to themselves and observe the slogan will not only aid in a campaign for the general good, but greatly lessen the chances of accident to them selves.' The heedless ones who continue their usual methods of headlong haste will have a terrible responsibility on themselves. . Kesolve now to join the great campaign whose slogan is ,.
