Education for Safety and the Human Factor in Driving
Judge Lee E. Skeel of Cleveland urged Kiwanis club members to focus on education as the cornerstone of public safety. He labeled driving while intoxicated the cardinal sin and urged public sentiment to ostracize intoxicated drivers, citing a downtown incident.
