Z P ? `8RESOLUTION NO. 65-165
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BALDWIN PARK URGING THAT ALL
PERSONS MAKE SPECIAL EFFORT TO OBSERVE
ALL TRAFFIC LAWS DURING THE FORTHCOMING
HOLIDAY PERIOD
WHEREAS, the Christmas season marks that time of year in
which we celebrate a holiday dedicated to Peace on Earth and Good
Will Toward Men1'; and
WHEREAS, the prevailing spirit of Yuletide fellowship is
often marred by the occurrence of needless traffic accidents, turn-
ing a time of Joy and happiness into one of heartbreak and despair;
and
WHEREAS, the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the National
Safety Council reminds us that more fatal traffic accidents, includ-
ing more pedestrian deaths, happen each Christmas Eve than at any
other comparable time of the year, with darkness, speed, alcohol and
pedestrian errors the causes of the high toll; and
WHEREAS, fears have been expressed that the season's high-
way toll may reach an all-time high unless drivers and pedestrians
take extra precaution; and
WHEREAS, the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the National
Safety Council is asking all organizations to eliminate the serving
of alcoholic beverages at traditional office Christmas parties as a
practical attempt to eliminate a definite source of death and destruc-
tion on the highway;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Baldwin Park fully supports the holiday safety program and
urges all our citizens to do everything in their power to prevent
accidents during the holiday season; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Baldwin Park supports the program of the Greater Los Angeles Chapter
of the National Safety Council and urges all organizations having office
parties and celebrations for the Christmas season to abstain from the
use of intoxicants which contribute so substantially to holiday traffic
accidents.
The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolu-
tion and forward copies of the same to the Greater Los Angeles National
Safety Counci!•
PASSED AND APPROVED this 4th day of December. 1963.
