NO PAPER CARRIED THE STORY
No paper carried the story. Can’t understand, why. It was good material—packed with human interest.
It happened this way: They had planned the vacation for a ion* 1 time. The children had counted the'days till it began. Then they started off on that long trip they had planned so well.
Tlj,e days went quickly—as vacation days do. It was on the way back—only an hour’s drive from home—that the parents began talking about the time they had had. They agreed that it was the most wonderful trip of their lives. They said they would never forget it.
They were right They never would forget it
Here are four people with everything to live for.
And they did live.
There was no accident
They were among the millions of people who every day drive automobiles without an accident. They were among the millions of motorists who never make headlines. They had a vacation the whole family enjoyed and will always remember. Their happy days had a happy ending.
The moral of the story no paper carried? It’s just this: Safety doesn’t make headlines. The results of common-sense driving are evidenced by accidents that never happened—by headlines that were never printed. That’s the big safety story. It’s a story that happens
so often it isn’t news to the public.
But it is news—and good news —to those it happens to. And it’s the best reason in the world for driving like an expert all the time, every day. Safe drivers make safe highways. ,
