“I will drive carefully at all times,
keeping hands on wheel, eyes on
road, mind on driving. I will learn,
respect and obey the safety rules."
Striving to stem the flux of traffic
disaster scourging Oregon, thus will
every motorist in the state be given
an opportunity to ally himself with
Oregon’s crusade against death.
The motorist’s ‘‘White Cross Safety
Pledge," bearing the signature of the
car’s operator, is contained on a
small red, white and blue sticker to
be attached in the lower right-hand
comer of the windshield. It will sig­
nify the driver's sincere intention to
drive safely.

cidents are caused by some negli­

motorists desiring to lend their sup-
port in the battle against this needless
toll, the pledge will be available
throughout the state at offices of the
motor club. Here it can be obtained
at the office of The Sentinel or at the

the pledge of safe driving.
