RESOLUTION NO. 3974
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF AZUSA SUPPORTING THE PROGRAM OF
THE GREATER LOS ANGELES SAFETY COUNCIL
RELATING TO THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.
WHEREAS, the Christmas season marks that time of year
in which we celebrate a holiday dedicated to "Peace on Earth and
Good Will Toward Men"; and
WHEREAS, the prevailing spirit of Yuletide fellowship
is often marred by the irony of our citizens going out on the
public highways to injure or destroy their fellow men in senseless
traffic accidents, thereby turning a time of joy and happiness into
one of heart -break and despair; and
WHEREAS, the Greater Los Angeles Safety Council reminds
us that more fatal traffic accidents, including more pedestrian
deaths, happen each Christmas Eve than at any other comparable time
of the year, with darkness, speed, alcohol and pedestrian errors the
causes of the high toll; and
WHEREAS, this year many persons will have a three-day
holiday both at Christmas and New Year's, the Safety Council fears
the season's highway toll may reach an all-time high unless drivers
and pedestrians take extra precaution; and
WHEREAS, the Greater Los Angeles Safety Council is ask-
ing all organizations to eliminate the serving of alcoholic bever-
ages at traditional office Christmas parties as a practical attempt
to eliminate a definite source of death and destruction on the
highway;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Azusa City
Council fully support the Safety Council program, "For a Happy
Holiday, Give...... In Traffic", and urges all our citizens to do
everything in their power to avoid accidents during the holiday
season; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Azusa City Council
supports the program of the Greater Los Angeles Safety Council
and urges all organizations having parties and celebrations for
the Christmas season to abstain from the use of intoxicants which
contribute so substantially to holiday traffic accidents.
