WHATS HAPPENING We never nieunt Memorial Day lo be a ilay of hi-jiiiks, car crashes, death and 4ragcdy. That’s not wliat the Grand Army of the Republic jdanned when it observed Memorial Day for tlie first lime day 30. 1868. The auto then was a jdream like planes and space frights. We waved the flag proudly, not cynically. We drank lemon ade and cold well waters We traveled by train, wagon and horseback. We got where we wanted to go and we got back safely. And the wonder is that there was lime for it all! MemorioLDay was a holiday, a day of rest and a day of peace. It ^as a day w<? honored our dead and spoke proudly of pur traditions. Since then we’ve become a society on wheels. We can’t wait to get where we’re going and we can’t wail toigst b a^T The New York Stale Citizens Council on Traffic Safely V/ams that some six million cars on New York roads will, travel over a double-barrelled weekend because Memorial Day IhU, year faUa in the middle of thfe week: r \ : Last year 30 New Yorkei’s died. There’s no way.to avoid the need-for conatanl alerts about traffic safety. Tliese alerts apply to all of us. . • ' f rO iu: ' MARIO Memorial Day 1962 I t Is unfortunate .that too m any native bom Americans take the greatness of our country for grant- We. who have been bom la for eign countries, p robably realize w h a t America really m eans because are able to compare i t w ith nations whiih do not enjoy the sam e liber ties, the privileges and th e oppor tunities which we are offered in the United S tates of America. M emorial Day is a day which symbolizes the respect and honor which we feel for those gieab men who sacrilfed their lives so t h a t we m ay live i n true freedom.
