"Let's Be More
Careful
The campaign of educa
tion being conducted to make
travel safe on Portland
streets during the holiday
rush has been so successfu
thus far that it more than
justifies whatever effort and
expense are involved.
To cut the daily average
from thirty down to seven is
very gratifying. It is recom
pense for all who have really
been more careful, it encour
ages them to keep up the
good work and it is a strong
inducement for the few re
maining careless ones to join
in the campaign.

Each day from now until
Christmas the rush and the
crowd on the streets will in
crease, each day the danger of
accidents will become greater,
with the climax coming on
Christmas Eve. That day ALL
must have an especial care if
injury and suffering shall not
stalk where cheer and happi
ness ehould abide on Christ
mas day. So the hosts of work
ers in this campaign have
talked things over and decided
to try and make this day the
day before Christmas a "No
Accident Day."
Will you help keep suffer
ing away from homes where
cheer ought to be on Christ
mas, Day? Will you jcin in
this special effort get the
Christmas spirit the spirit of
consideration for others and
take one little minute longer
to look, look, LOOK, before
crossing the street? In this
way you can help bring suc
cess to the Safety Campaign,
