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!
