Letter: Waiting to see Santa Claus

James Roberts writes:
Linda, this picture would have been taken in December 1956. The movie that's showing at the Columbian Theater in the background was released in June 1956. It being a "B" movie at the time would have taken a few months to have made it to Columbia for viewing. Maybe this helps with identifying some of the people in the picture. --James

Why observe the speed limit this holiday season?

Exceeding the speed limit, or going too fast for road conditions, is a factor in about one-third of all fatal vehicle crashes.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says:

* Speeding reduces the amount of time available to avoid a crash.

* It increases the likelihood of crashing.

* It increases the severity of a crash when one occurs.
