other fatal accidents during the 10-

mas New Year holidays
Col. Homer Garrison, Jr, de-
partment director, said experience
in previous holidays and other sta-
tistical factors indicate 90 persons
will be killed in traffic, there will

be 46 homicides and suicides, and
40 persons will die in fire* and
other non traffic accidents.
He announced that "Operation
Deathwatch," a grim tabulation of
holiday deaths, will be in effect
from 12:01 A. M. Friday, Decem-
ber 23 to 11.59 P M. Sunday, Jan-
uary 1.
"We hope our prediction is too
high and through the most con-
certed and coordinated effort in
1 history this year, we will be doing
everything in our power to hold
down traffic deaths, particularly,
during the holidays," Garrison
said.
"Our Regional Commanders have
been instructed to have every
, available man on duty and all radar
j units working during this period
in an extra-special effort to main-1
tain the existing reduction in traf-'
fie fatalities effected so far in!
1960.
"We hope to wind up this year'
with approximately 170, or about;
seven per cent, less fatalities if j
we can hold the trend which has
'apparently been established.
"Operationally, department per-
sonnel will attempt to achieve the I
most effective enforcement pro-1
. gram possible during the period,
and through a coordinated, state-
wide public information program
an all out effort will be made to
keep the public advised of and
aware of the special hazards of
holiday driving and the need for
legal driving at all times.
"Experience has shown without a
doubt that in most fatal traffic ac-!
i ;
i cidents. at least one violation of i
j the traffic laws is a causative fac- ¡
; tor."

program include the Governor's

THEY WORK
HARDER
RIDE EASIER!
/ \
Becauso they ride easier they last longer, too. They take better care of
payloads and they moke a long day's work a lot more pleasant for the
driver. All that—primarily because of Independent Front Suspension
(I.F.S.). If you think it's stretching a point to attribute that many advan-
tages to a suspension system, you haven't driven a new Chevy with
I.F.S. Take the wheel and feel Its road-leveling ride, its almost total
absence of shimmy and wheel fight, Its ease of steering even In the
big rigs. Spend hours behind the wheel and you're not nearly as tired.
You're not and neither is the truck. That Independent suspension soaks
up the worst shock and vibration -the kind that can twist sheet metal
and loosen joints and increase your maintenance costs. Thafa why
Chevy trucks keep on working and saving for extra thousands of miles.
