ONE WORD
Can Change Your Life
BY Rev. ROBT. w. OLEWILER
Pastor, Grace Reformed Church
Washington, d. c.
SENSE

You've got to keep tho cares,
riches and pleasures of this world
from choking off your common
sense. It's always been significant
to me that Jesus asked that we
love God, not only with our hearts
and souls, but also with our minds.
Professor c. S. Lewis reminds us
that God wants child's heart, but
a groWn-up's head.
Somebody else had said: For
every human i'll we run against,
we try to invent a machine, pass
a law, or organize a bureau. But
unless we raise up Cody men and
women who will speak what is
right, our ills will multiply along
with our inventions and laws"
Quite so. But to love God with your
mind as well as your heart and
souls is to develop common sense,
the word that can change your life.

Along the Potomac
to Washington
With Your Congressman
Dewitt S. HYDE


A bill is under consideration in
our judiciary Committee to incor-
porate the National Safety Council
under a federal charter. 1t deserves
the support of every member of
the House.
In recent years, Congress has
been reluctant to grant more than
Just few such charters to non
profit organizations. Customarily,
they must establish beyond any
doubt their intention to perform a
vital public service beneficial to
the entire nation.
believe that an organization as
important as the National Safety
Council should be given this recog-
milton by Congress. Accidents in
industry, i'm the home and on the
highway are increasing at an
alarming rate. The Memorial holt
day Weekend is just over, and the
highway slaughter was just about
what the National Safety Council
dcspairingly predicted it would be.
We are losing more people an
nually through death and injury
as result of accidents than we
lose during war Accidents kill
as many people as our most dan
gcrous diseases. Any movement de
signed to reduce this terrific toll
deserves our full support.
The National Safety Council,
through its publicity, research and
educational programs, could save
thousands Of lives if it were firm
ly established with a federal char
ter.
Around The Capitol
The Civil Functions appropria-
tons bill was passed by the House
last week. Maryland will receive
SLIPS. 000-one million dollars Of
it marked for construction Of the

Three Maryland Republicans
Reps. Miller, DcverouX and myself
made every effort to help Rep.
Small of the Fifth District to Sc
cure passage of an amendment
granting $1,OOO,O00 for flood con-
troll at the busy Peace Cross inter-
section in Bladcnsburg. Again last
weekend the intersection was
flooded by rains, causing hundreds
of Washington government work
crs to be late to their jobs. But the
amendment failed.
The week after next public hear
ings by the House Ways and Means
Committee will be held on tax re-
visions. Members will hear many
suggestions for changes in income

status, income-splitting, head-of-
household provisions, Withholding,
