Around CADETTE AND SENIOR GIRL SCOUT TROOPS from Shavertown and Trucksville viewed a film, “Room to Live” sponsored by the Luzerne County Buckle Up Pro- gram. Bernard Ott, representing the Buckle Up Program, gave a brief talk on the importance of wearing seatbelts. Considering the fact that 50,000 people are killed each year in this country from traffic accidents and taking into account that “most fatalities occur in dry, sunny weather, at speeds under 40 miles per hour, within 25 miles of home,” driving seems to be a pretty dangerous pastime. However, according to the experts, safety belts are your best protection against serious traffic- related injuries. “If Americans rou- tinely used their safety belts, we’d see more than 17,000 fewer deaths each year.” Doesn’t it make sense to Buckle Up! -0- BEST WISHES TO Mr. and Mrs. David Sharp of Manor Drive, Shav- ertown who recently became the parents of a lovely baby girl.
