This Day in History: 1956-05-29

The Mahwah Ambulance Corps participated in a statewide safety campaign during the Memorial Day holiday. Starting the night before, they patrolled Route 202 within the Township broadcasting safety messages over a loudspeaker. The experiment was to be continued during the July 4th and Labor Day holidays and accident statistics compared with previous years to assess the effectiveness of this sort of campaign. (Bristow)
