Let's make this year pedestrian protection year
Road-safety sheet: a smiling father, mother, boy and girl walk arm in arm across a blue outline of the United States on a yellow ground, under 'Let's make this year pedestrian protection year.' The ordinary family stands for the whole country (plain-folks), and the appeal is a general call with no specific rule. The technique is mild here.
