Haste and Rush Often Cause of Holiday Mishaps Harrisburg Motorists today were cautioned “not to shop for holiday accidents.” The advice came from Col E. J Henry, Pennsylvania State Po lice Commissioner “While no driver is likely to go out looking for an accident to spoil his holiday season, our records show this is a time of year when accidents occur pretty easily,” he declared. “Many families visit neighbor ing communities on shopping nights, in search for gifts that may not be found in the home town,” the state official pointed out. Folks from suburbs and small communities will be driving to the nearest city to see gaVly decorated windows and join the holiday throngs for an exciting evening ” Such a trip can be a wonderful experience, Col Henry observed. But for soma, he warned, such a trip in previous years has ended in tragedy because of someone’s thoughtlessness or forgetfulness. “Be content to take it easy— driving to your destination, walk ing about in the shopping district, and returning home at a reason able time without going too fast,” Col Henry said - 1 “And don’t load the back win dow ledge with packages that obstruct your view through the rear window “Don’t indulge in the use of intoxicants dm mg your trip Li quor never yet has helped make any person a better driver Per sons who .enioy taking a nip should wail until the end of their trip.” Motorists also were cau tioned, “Don’t double-park, be cause one illegally parked ve hicle can tie up traffic for blocks, causing tempers to flare and possibly leading to a traf fic summers for the guilty driver.” As a precaution against cold weather, drivers were reminded to winterize their vehicles. “Be fore taking the family on a trip, or even before driving any dis tance alone, make sure your bat tery has been checked, your brakes safe, your tires ara good, your tire chains are in the car ready for use if necessary, your ■lights are functioning properly, your windshield wiper blades and defrosters are dependable, and your turn signal indicators are in working order.’’ “Our holiday will be as safe as we make it,” Col. Henry con cluded.
