Auto Accidents Menace
Pedestrians Beyond IS

The danger of being Grip
ped or killed by an auto is
actually greater for middle
aged persons than that from
such diseases as diabetes OF
tuberculosis.
Forty per cent of the auto
mobile accident to pedestrians
happen to persons over As, &C
cording to Sidney Margolius
of the Journal of Living ma
gazine. Between As and IS, you
run a so per cent greater risk
than people aged Is to A.
And if you are over IS. your
chance of being hit by an
auto is twice as great.
People who have never
driven a car make up 80 per
cent of all fatal accidents to
adult pedestrians. This is be-
cause they place an unrealis-
tic on the ability of a driver
to see persons crossing the
road and to stop his car quick
ly.
The most dangerous places
for accidents are not in the
heaVy-traffic areas, but in
quiet neighborhood where you
think you are safe and there
fore are less careful. The
worst time is after 500 P. M,
because the ability to see well
In the dusk or dark deterior-
ates rapidly after middle age.
To insure your safety as a
pedestrian, the Journal Of Liv-
ing suggest the following.
Always wear something
light-colored at night. Light
clothing helps driver see
you at twice the distance he
would when you wear dark
clothes. Even carrying a white
handkerchief helps.
Cross only at crossings.
Three out of Ave pedestrian

These dangers are converg-
ing into a gigantic problem,
which may end with out-of-

combination of dangers be-
comes reality, America may
be projected in to a police
state. The document of our
Founding Fathers would then

would gladly volunteer to aid
in a crisis, which appears
nearing on our nations hori-
zion. The F. B. L, and other
Federal agencies have ardu-
ously toiled withinadequate
tools of investigation to make
inroadS on these terrible three
dangers that infest America.
State, city and town police
departments have blundered
and failed constantly to make
dent in this mighty surge
Of Crime, Communism and
Juvenile Delinquency within
their respective jurisdictions.
This is a serious situation,
which forbodes a nationwide
check-up.
This should not be conSid-
cred a castigation of states,
cities and towns police organ
izations. A continuous record
of failures to curb these dan
gers within their boundaries
unfold this lurid story to Gus
readers, most of them tax
payers so that they can steel
themselves for approaching
events that may nullify the
Federal Constitution. A police
state with all of America S
citizens under constant sus-
pician and surveillance would
uproot our Founding Fathers
pledged Of an undefled Bill
Of Rights"
Has the opportune time ar
rived to make America cogni-
zant of these dangers and
what may happen should they
become a combined menace
sanctioned byMoscow? Presi-

ton is being backed against a
wall by a complacent group of
all political party leaders. in

that World War III will be the

AIDES, without badges, guns or
uniforms will be the factors of
complete disruption of this
deluge flooding America with
Crime, Communism and Ju-
venile Delinquency. The fun
damental mechanice of orga-
nizing this contemplated young
women's police organization
are multiple. Confidential stud

be formulated by expert po-

directors Of Christian educa-

program is carried out effici-

Religious education should
be an Introductory course pri-
or to any study in Christian

vious, however. A definite be-

people can be found IN only
four religions. postexilic Ju-
daism, Christianity, Mohanl-
mechanism and Sikhism mainly
found in northwest India and
its chief place in history has
been political more than re-
ligious. Religious education
would especially study the
techniques Of training used in
these four religions which
teach the worship of one Su-
preme Being. Other religions
namely Hinduism, Jainism,
Buddhism, ConfucianiSm, Tao
ism. Shintoism, and Zoroas-
trianiSm are ethical patterns,
or various settings and APP
plications Of the diety, or many
gods and dieties The four
monotheistic religions have a
genuine belief and worship of
one supreme Being. Religious
education should study all OF
these religions as to their
techniques starting with the
latter group and ending up
thoroughly with the former
group (the monotheistic reli-
gions).

The Difference Between Re-
ligious Education and Chris
tisn Education.
Religious education is a
bread term and covers the
area OF education in all re-
ligtons of our world. Chris
tian education is not quite as
broad a term but is broad in
its outlook because the ulti-
mate end of Christian educa-
tion-is TO embrace the whole
world Of peoples. Christian
education Is the systematic
development and training in
the lives of people towards the
Christ way and commitment
to this Christ. Many of our
large universities carry courses
titled Religious education and
the contents of the course
comprise Christian Christ
way) training only Our uni
versities and Church councils
ought TO outline two courses;
or1g~in Religious education and
the other in Christian educa-
ton. Each course will COM
prise what Its title suggests.
III Religious education there
should be a survey Of all the
religions of the world and the
study of their various educa-
tio11al teehniques. Within this
scope of study naturally Chris
tianity and it's principle OF
training will be included. Thi;

Christianity has been founc
to have all the good which
Is found the living religion
OF the world. In the compari
son Of religions, Christianit,
has been found to hay,
something more than thes
other religions. That some
thing more is found In Jesu

may say that this should b,
