. 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. Let's not abuse

"Reed's Tonto" was given a
