No. 12 (8 × 33/4) "The greasy road did it, officer!" "Yes," said Policeman 179 afterwards, "the road was like a bit of glass. A little girl ran across sudden- ly, and the motorist, certainly did his best. But he was going a bit too fast, and when he tried to pull up, he skidded and knocked the child down. If only people would realise how fatal it is to take chances in slippery weather!" ¶ Over 130,000 people were killed or injured on the roads in 1944, and the record this year may be even worse, for conditions are more dangerous.
