Governor Daniel urges Texas newspapers to aid a holiday traffic-safety program. He reports 1968 December 12 traffic deaths at 2,067, down from 2,299 in 1967, a 232 reduce, and stresses the danger of holiday travel erasing gains unless drivers act responsibly.
Gov. Price Daniel leads a statewide holiday safety campaign backed by radio TV and billboards to cut Christmas to New Year wrecks. He says the 254 life goal for 1958 is within reach as Texas presses and citizens join in a broad media drive.
The piece contrasts American views of Santa as a universally good figure with foreign traditions where Saint Nicholas is joined by darker alter egos such as Krampus and Belsnickle. It notes various countries feature dual personalities in holiday figures while American elves remain friendly and gifts always arrive.
