Terms: Cash or Good Checks Owner and Sales Manager, Junior Voorhies Phone 518-299-354^ ’ Drivers who insist on facing their audience while they talk-instead of the road ahead-can be deadly bores. Even their funny stories can turn tragic in a hurry. A punch line can be killed instantly by a car that stops suddenly, an intersection, a curve in the road. By anything that gets in the way. No one is safe with drivers like this. Neither pas sengers or people in other cars...nor pedestrians. If you know someone who has this deadly habit, think about the consequences. Straighten him out or refuse to ride with him. Your new car dealer wants to see our highways safe. An^ mopf imi^rtant, he wants to see you safe, whether you're behind the wheel or just a passenger. So join the battle against careless talkers. Help them iace their tremendous responsibilities-and the road a h ^ d - a n d all their stories will wind up with a happy ending.
