Title	It's easy to play; December 1, 1967
Description	From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by Eldon Pletcher. The Grim Reaper is labeled, "Orleans Parish 1967 traffic fatalities" and holds a pointer indicating a sign on the wall that reads, "76 to date." Words next to the Grim Reaper are, "You end up a statistic." In the foreground are an assortment of traffic signs: "Speed...RR [Railroad]...Mixing drinking and driving...No left turn...Yield right of way...Recklessness...Stop...Caution." In the middle of these signs is an arrow sign with a speeding car on it; this sign is pointed toward the 76 fatalities sign on the wall. At the bottom are the words, "Anyone can be a big loser!" The cartoon caption reads, "It's easy to play."
