Woodson, Jr., Superintendent of State Police and Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee, for motorist preparing td risk their lives in the forthcoming holiday traffic.

Colonel lVoodson continued in emphasizing the fact that the large majority of people don’t take such fpolish risks in other phases of life but that every weekend appears to transform many sane people into traffic maniac*. Virginia, he said, was fortunate in contribution the very low score of lOJieaths to the ‘ national total last year. “However, there is no consolation to the dead people and those close to them that we had a ‘good’ weekend.”
