Hi wan Uirn on Augunt 3, We have come once apain to that time of year when Americans pause to honor the memory of those who have ?iven that last full measure of devotion on battlefields at home and abroad. As Abraham Lincoln said: "It is fitting and proper that we do this," As we pay our respects to the nation s war dead, it also is fitting that we turn our thoughts to the peace for which we all pray. It is fining, too. to reflect on life not death and on ways in which life may be preserved. No more fitting time than Memorial Day could be found for this reflection, for the holiday signals the beginning of the summer highway carnage In a year's time more people are killed on our highways than died in combat in all of World War L Automobiles are safer today than they have ever been. So, too. are the highways over which we traveL That leaves the problem squarely on the shoulders of the third element in any design for greater highway safety the person behind the wheeL One of the great freedoms we Americans share is the right to travel in our country when and where we please It is a freedom to be preserved for all of us.
