More and more councils Of
churches are promoting safety
campaigns. A few weeks ago q
Roman Catholic bishop In
Georgia devoted q pastoral let
ter to the subject of careful
driving.
Representatives Of major re-
Iligious organizations were pres
.ent last month at a Washing
ton meeting Of the Presidents
Committee for Trafic Safety
which made plans for Safe Driv-
ing Day, December /.
Governors and State motor
vehicle commissioners are be-
ginning to enlist the clergy In q
systematic way In the effort to
curb trafic accidents.
A typical appeal to clergymen
was issued by Motor Vehicle
Commissioner Frederick N.
Clarke Of New Hampshire.
In q circular letter to the
States clergy he said:
II firmly believe our people
win listen to the directives of
our clergy and it is with this
thought in mind that I ask your
assistance to help keep our peo-
pie from harm.
Wont you please give some
time in your Sunday service to
advise those In attendance-and
ask them to inform others-oi
the urgent need for proper be-
havior while operating their mo-
for vehicles on our highways"

The reason for this situation
is that most States. plus the Dis

cases such as these. 1t means
that 'the law Of the State where

THE WEEK IN RELIGION
Churches Back Drive
For Highwoy Sofety
BY RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE

Religious leaders are throwing
their weight behind campaigns
for safe driving. They are in
creasingly stressing the theme
that driving is q moral problem
and the man behind the wheel
has q religious obligation to re-
spect the life Of his fellows.
This theme also is being taken
up by jurists and officials con-
cerned with safety.
Ned H. Dearborn. president Of
the National Safety Council.
said recently in Chicago that
safe driving is an application Of
practical religion.
.In the true sense Of the
word he said. ''the man behind
the wheel must be his brothers
keeper. Unless the public is
aroused to recognize this we
won't have the drastic re-
duction in trafiic deaths that
any civilized nation has the right
to expect and demand"
An Australian judge has called
upon Christians to curb the
steadily rising highway death
toll by exercising an "spostolate
of the road"
Until the majority of cal,
owners realize that driving
"poses a great moral problem
the accident rate will continue
to climb. said Justice j. H. Nc
Clemens Of the New South Wales
Supreme Court.
He expressed his views In the
current issue OF the Newman,
organ Of the Australian Newman
Catholic Graduates Association.
Campaigns for engineering.
enforcement and education are
all very good" he wrote. "but
they overlook one factor, namely
the moral question. Car driving
ultimately comes back to the
moral problem that Lii ! drive
carelessly and by my careless
ness cause an accident-am
guilty Of wrong.
Charity alone is the remedy
and 1t can flow only from belief
in the other mans rights on the
road"
Clergymen In the United
States have long been campaign
ing against drunken driving
But In recent months they have
broadened their concern to In
clude safe driving generally.
