RESOLUTION NO. 65-95
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ROSEMEAD SUPPORTING THE TRAFFIC
SAFETY PROGRAM OF THE NATIONAL SAFETY
COUNCIL.
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 fellow-
ship is often marred by the occurrence of needless traffic
accidents, turning a time of joy and happiness into one of
heartbreak and despair; and
WHEREAS, the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the
National 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, fears have been expressed that the season's
highway toll may reach an all-time high unless drivers and
pedestrians take extra precaution; and
WHEREAS, the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the
National Safety Council is asking all organizations to eliminate
the serving of alcoholic beverages 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 Rosemead
City Council fully supports the holiday traffic safety program
and urges all our citizens to do everything in their power
to prevent accidents during the holiday season; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Rosemead City Council
supports the program of the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the
National Safety Council and urges all organizations having
office parties and celebrations for the Christmas season to
abstain from the use of intoxicants which contribute so sub-
stantially to holiday traffic accidents.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 20th day of
December, 1965.
