URSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1923. x Che Casper Daily Cribune PAGE FIVE Speeding Kills! Drive Right!— Walk Right! All of us have dreamed of universal safety. There is not one of us, but who has deplored the number of lives sacrificed each year to the God of Carelessness.. We all have some advice deep in the soul waiting to be given out to our fellow men. But how many of these people are willing to bring about a reform such as that now in progress under the auspices of the Tribune? By far the greater percentage of the citizens of Casper effect the “‘not interested”’ atti- tude when a drive of this nature is placed before them. Only when it concerns them di- rectly do they take any action, and then that action usually consists in selfishly trying to extricate themselves from whatever trouble their carelessness may have gotten them into. a The men who have signed and paid the expense of this ad- vertisement ask that the general public pause a moment and give a little more thought to the subject in hand. Surely such acci- dents as are occurring every day in this city, the direct results of somebody’s lack of thought, are sufficient to stimulate some thought and action upon the part of the right-thinking citizens of Casper. These men speak through the Tribune to the automobile - driver. Primarily, they ask him to “drive right.’ But those two words mean more than most people believe. Those words ask that the Casper motorist does not exceed the speed limit, and that he make every possible effort to keep his car under control at all times. Those words ask that the motorist keep his eyes upon the road ahead of him, so that he may be prepared to stop quickly in case of emergency. The motorist is asked not to cut a busy downtown corner, but to make a wide swing in the street with his left hand extended when making a left turn. Benedict Motor Co. ‘Auto Electrical Co.

Boyle The moforist is asked to keep his brakes under rigid inspection and never to venture out onto a public thoroughfare w-ith brakes which are not in the best of condition. He is also asked to use great care when burning bright lights upon a country road that they are never used when they may blind a fellow mo- torist and cause a serious accident. The automobile men of Casper through the two words, “walk right” ask the pedestrian to look to the right and left before crossing a busy street. They ask the man who walks never to attempt to cross a busy public thoroughfare in the middle of the block. The pedestrian is asked to keep his mind constantly upon his own safety while in the downtown district, and not to depend too much upon the ability of the other fellow. These men ask these things for the civic betterment of Cas- per and for the sake of humanity, Casper Buick Co. Coliseum Motor Co.
