1 6- THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1967 - THE QUESNEL CARIBOO OBSERVER<br />

if every one who drives a ear<br />

Could lie a month m bed.<br />

With broken bones <strong>and</strong> stitchedup<br />

wounds.<br />

Or fractures of <strong>the</strong> head.<br />

And <strong>the</strong>re endure <strong>the</strong> agonies<br />

That many people do.<br />

They'd never need preach safety<br />

Any more to me or you.<br />

If every one could st<strong>and</strong> beside<br />

Would be forced to think a bit.<br />

If everyone who takes a wheel<br />

Would say a little prayer.<br />

And keep in mind those in <strong>the</strong><br />

car<br />

Depending on his care.<br />

And make a vow <strong>and</strong> pledge<br />

himself<br />

To never take a chance.<br />

The Great Crusade for Safety<br />
