Safety First Back Windows Obscured

To the Editor of the "Norru-Cuina Datty News"

Sm—This week we are concentrating on safety in traffic. A very good idea to try to educate everyone.

If, however, the Police want a line on those who obviously do not care for safety I suggest that they make a careful note of all cars that have affixed posters in their rear windows. These posters obscure the driver's view and certainly tend to increase accidents.

Car owners were told how to use the posters, but those who have misapplied them in the way I mention are self-advertised danger spots. It might be a good idea to summon them, as the Police require every car to carry a mirror which will give the driver an unobstructed view of what is behind him. What use is the mirror in such cases?
