Some of the nicest people drink and
d riv e . . . In 1988,307 people died and nearly
4,000 were seriously injured on O regon’s

ers A gainst Drunk Driving (M AD D) are
asking all O regonians to “ tie o n e " for safety
by displaying a red ribbon on the outside of
their m otor vehicles indicating their pledge
not to drink and drive this holiday season.
In addition to 7-11 stores, MADD has
been joined in their effort to increase public
awareness of the dangers o f drinking and
driving by A ckerley Com m unications, State
Farm Insurance agents, Fred Meyer, The
Oregonian, US Bank, T routm an’s Em po­
rium stores, SAFECO Insurance C om pa­
nies, D om ino’s Pizza and m any more.
