and DISPLAY YOUR FLAG!
LIGHTS ON! Light up the United States on October 21 and 221 Dedicate those
days to Respect for Law and Support for the Men and Women of
our Armed Forces - especially those in Vietnam, Make it clear
to the world that all Americans, despite any other differences, are
united against the lawless and the disloyal,
1. Turn on the headlights of ALL moving vehicles - cars, trucks,
buses, taxis, motorcycles, etc. - during the daylight hours
of October 21 and 22.
2. Keep a light burning, visible to the outside, in every home,
apartment, place of business, public building, etc, on tlie night
of October 21.
The LIGHTS ON program can only succeed if all Americans are
familiar with it and are aware of the importance of such a public
display. The support of the leading public figures and organizations
in every community is needed for this non-partisan, non-political
project. Every means must be used to reach the public:
LIGHTS (X^J should be announced at all football games and other
sporting events, in schools, at all meetings and other public
events, in theatres, etc.
Make certain that the clergy of all faiths reach everyone in their
congregations, •
Cover all phases of all communications m e d i a - T . V , , radio, press.
News stories, editorials and l e t t e r s - t o - t h e - e d i t o r are only several
of the numerous methods of reaching the public. Get disc jockeys
and morning show announcers to talk about LIGHTS ON, Call into
telephone conversation programs. Arrange to have guests talk
about this project on interview shows. Many stations will make
frequent public service announcements, if asked, and paid short
spot announcements caai be donated by business and orge^zations.
Newspaper ads can be handled the same way. Make use, also, of
the non-professional communication media-organization bulletins,
newsletters, etc. Arrange to have the personnel at all military
establishments alerted. Perhaps the best means of passing the
word is through personal contact - tell all of your friends,

TRAFFIC DEATHS
TO CLIMB
There is no such thing as
legislating "Instant safety" on
our streets and highways,
according to Chief of Police Wal-t
e r F. Waring of Lynbrook.
' 'ITie new Federal safety r e g -
ulations which establish vehicle
standards and call for gready
expanded safety programs at the
state, county and local levels
a r e certain to bring improve-ment
in the death rate, but it
won't come soon," the Chief
said. "And there are other grim
factors at work which convince
me that things are going to get
a lot worse on our streets and
highways before they get b e t t e r ."
Among the factors listed by
the Chief which will make it more
hazardous on the highways are
the following:
1. More young drivers
2. Higher speeds
3. Popularity of motorcycles
4.Increasing travel
5. Alcohol consumption
6, Failure to use seat belts
"All of these elements at work
in our t r a f f i c s t r e am are almost
certain to push our death toll
upward in the years immediately
ahead," Chief Waring said,
"We are approaching the
critical winter months when n o r -
mal driving hazards are com-pounded
by the weather," Chief
Waring said, "Reduced visibility
and inadequate traction make it
tougher for drivers to stay out
of t r o u b l e ."
He urged motorists to study
the following tips for safe winter
driving which have been advoca-ted
by the National Safety Coun-c
i l ' s Committee on Winter Driv-ing
hazards and", endorsed by the
Interriational Association of
Chiefs of Police,
1. Get the " f e e l " of the road
by accelerating carefully to see
if wheels spin; or brake gently
to see if they skid. Reduce speed
accordingly,
2. Increase your following d i s -
tance. It takes three to nine
times as f a r to stop on snow and
ice as on dry pavement,
3. " P u m p " your brakes to slow
