LOS ANGELES SAFETY COUNCIL PROGRAM DURING THE
HOLIDAY SE&SON.
WHEREAS, the Christmas season marks that time of year in
which we celebrate a holiday dedicated to Peace on Earth and Good
Will Toward Men"; and
WHEREAS, the prevailing spirit of Yule tide fellowship is
often marred by the irony of our citizens going out on the public
highways to injure or destroy their fellow men in senseless traffic
accidents, thereby turning a time of joy and happiness Lito one of
heart-break and despair; and
WHEREAS, the Greater Los Angeles Safety Council reminds
us that more fatal traffic accidents, including 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, this year many persons will have a three-day holiday
both at Christmas and New Year's, the Safety Council fears the season's
highway toll may reach an all-time high unless drivers and pedestrians
take extra precaution; and
WEREftS, the Greater Los Angeles 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 destruction on the highway;
NCM, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Baldwin Park fully support the Safety Council program, For a
Happy Holiday, Give *,.,In Traffic", and urges all our citizens to do
everything in their power to avoid accidents during the holiday season,
and
BE IT PUR3HER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Baldwin Park supports the program of the Greater Los Angeles Safety
Council and urges all organizations having parties and celebrations
for the Christmas season to abstain from the use of intoxicants which
