But driving a car is a big responsibility. So here are a couple of questions for you to think about. How important do you feel it is to buckle up your safety belt when you get into a car? Do you think you or any of your friends will bever be involved in an accident? Maybe you've never thought about it, but you should. Every ten seconds, someone is injured in a crash. And every ten minutes, someone is killed. You can expect to be in an accident at least once in your life. If you use your safety belt, you more than double your chances of surviving."

Suffrage Rally, May 1, 1915, Richmond, Va. [photographs]
These photographs document a suffrage rally held on the south portico of the Virginia Capitol on May 1, 1915. Dr. E. N. Calisch, rabbi of <a href="https://www.bethahabah.org/" target="_blank" title="congregation website" rel="noreferrer noopener">Congregation Beth Ahabah</a>, spoke in favor of woman suffrage at the event. Joy Montgomery Higgins of Nebraska addressed the crowd next.<br /><br />The Equal Suffrage League was denied permission to speak on city streets by Richmond Mayor Ainslie, on the grounds that, while there was no law forbidding them to speak, neither was there one that allowed him to grant them a permit. The women proceeded to give speeches from inside an automobile, and the event was documented and reported by the <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045389/1915-05-02/ed-1/seq-1/" target="_blank" title="Chronicling America, Library of Congress historic newspapers" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Richmond Times-Dispatch</em><span> on May, 2, 1915.</span></a> According to the paper, <br /><br /><blockquote>Floating suffrage banners, fluttering yellow ribbons, silver-toned bugles, and a brass band proclaimed the fact that yesterday was Equal Suffrage Day in Richmond, as well as in every other town and city of the United States. <br /><br />Throughout the morning forty women, at eleven stands about the city, sold copies of the Woman's Journal, and suffrage flags, buttons, and postcards. The cordial and sympathetic attitude shown by the public was regarded as a striking illustration of the change in public opinion effected during the last few years. </blockquote>
