No War Is Needed No War Is Needed
Nine million three hundred thousand persons were injured in accidents in 1941. The National Safety Council reports that one out of every four teen persons in the United States suffered a disabling injury last year. One hundred thousand five hundred people were killed accidentally in 1941. This means that cities the size of Duluth would be wiped off the face of the earth if all of the accidental deaths occurred in one town. The automobile contributed the largest share of these deaths, and many industrial workers were victims. As defense programs progress, it is vital that men stay on the job. Contribute your part to national defense by driving slowly.
