Slow Down and Live Campaign

The National Conference of State Safety Co
ordinators is sponsoring this years campaign
for safety on the highways of America. Aiding
in the effort arc such organizations as the Gov
ernor's Conference, the National Safety Coun'
Gil and the American Legion.
Two important national holidays are set
for the beginning and end of the campaign, Me-
mortal Day and Labor Day. respectively. There
are occasions when the highway death toll
mounts alarmingly Any effort to stress the
"Slow Down and Live" drive ought to be con-
slant, but should receive extra emphasis on
week-ends connected with holidays.
The campaign is about one-third through its
course; nevertheless the highway slaughter
keeps mounting. In some places an awakened
citizenry has accomplished results. On the whole,
however the nation cannot be proud of its an
nual highway death record Open warfare-un-
unless it be the feared atomic variety--would
scarcely bring a longer list of mortal casualties
When serious thought is given to the prob
lem, it must be concluded that the tragic situa-
tion Is due almost entirely TO lack of courtesy
and fundamental charity; therefore, it is caused
by pride and selfishness and love of self. No
one has put this more clearly than Pope Plus
XII himself Speaking to the Automobile Club
of Rome in April of this year, His Holiness de-
scribed the automobile as something more than
means of transportation. II is actually an

For Our Redemption

the great Apostle to the Gentiles. Both of them
suffered martyrdom in the city of Rome on
June % in the year of g. and their voices have
continued to ring out during the nineteen GEN.
turies since then, telling men the story of the
Redemption and calling on them to draw near to
Christ the Redeemer.
Through the Church which they had so vital
a part in establishing, the two Apostles summon
the world to "serve the living God;" Peter is
heard in the voice of his successors who occupy his
chair at Rome and of all the Bishops in union with
him. Paul breaches to the congregations of
people everywhere as his Epistles are read in
nearly every Mass that is offered, expounding
the teachings of Christ and exhorting all gen.
erations to Christian living.
And on Monday the liturgy celebrates the
Joyful Mystery of the Visitation of the Blessed
Virgin to st. Elizabeth, recalling how Elizabeth,
inspired by the Holy Spirit uttered the greeting
that Christians have echoed ever since: BLESSED
art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb" Elizabeth thus proclaimed the
lofty place of Mary in Gods plan for mans Re-
demption, and Mary responded with the sublime
"Magnificat," tribute of faith and thanksgiving,
bringing confidence and consolation to all who
mediate upon it,
They are thrilling lessons, indeed, that the
Church sets before us in these days, powerful
antidotes to the doubt and confusion afflicting
the world The "false prophets" of whom Christ
speaks in Sundays Gospel are sounding their
messages of fear and deceit, but why should
we be disturbed by them, when we have Gods
plain instruction on the things that are for our
Redemption?

Unions and Political Action

Unions and Political Action
Do unions have right to
engage in political action? If
so, TO what extent and in what
particular manner? Finally, is
II wise or prudent for unions
10 get involved in political &C
tion?
Our answer 10 the first
question is yes. Constitution
ally and ethically, unions have
ss much right as any other
economic, professional, educa-
tional or cultural organization
20 engage in political action.
In the United States they have
exercised the right in one way
or another and In varying de-
Rrees from the beginning of
the 10Th century.
Right 10 Make Influence Felt

evidence that they desire or
intend TO establish a political
party of their own, they are

points out, is that "the union
reduced to be the instrument
of party finishes by becom-
ing an agency of the State if
this party comes to power.
And the sliding towards totaIi-
tarianism is then almost in
evitable."
The first part of the ques-
tion namely, to what extent
is labor entitled to engage in
political action - is a matter
of serious controversy at the
present time. While we are
not prepared to give a definite
answer of our own, we have
serious nisgivings about the

population depends on how
successfully it can be kept
out of the great networks -
ocean and air currents, food
and water supplies which
connect man to his surround
ingS."
The scientists warn that, il
the oceans become the reposi-
tories of large scale dumpings
of radioactive waste materials,
it could lend to the contami-
nation of mans food from the
sea. At the same time, dan
gerous amount of radiation
fall-out from the sky could
spoil mans food on the land.
In fact, the scientists warn
against the dangers of excess
sive radiation from all sources
-X-rays and the like, and
the atomic explosions for
peaceful as well as martial
products.
Pope Plus emphasized that
measures adopted for the con-
troll of nuclear weapons must
be adequate, because the sub
iect is "a matter basic to the
fate of the whole human
race" The scientists point out
, that the inheritance mechan-
ism is "by far the most sem
sitive to radiation of any bio
logical SYSTEM" that "the
harm is cumulative" and for
the general population, and in
the long run, little radiation
to lot of people is as harm
full as a lot of radiation to a
few, since the total number of
mutant genes can be The same
in both cases"
Among the measures the
scientists propose as safe
guards is one calling for a rec
ord to be kept on every indi-
vidual showing his total ac-
cumulative lifetime exposure
to radiation.

Momentous chapters in the history of Chris
tianity are recalled during the next few days,
dominated by the feast observed on Sunday,
that of the Most Precious Blood This feast is,
in way a renewal of the observance of Good
Friday, for the Church would have us always
keep before our minds the overwhelming fact
of that day: the shedding of the Savors blood for
the redemption of mankind. We are summoned
to mediate upon the meaning of that sacrifice,
and in the honoring of the Most Precious Blood
to realize the depth of Gods mercy; for it was
only by the pouring out of the blood of His
Son, in atonement for the sins of men, that
heaven was opened for them
'Thou hast redeemed us for God with Thy
blood, out of every tribe and people and nation,
and hast made them for our God a kingdom,
thus the mysterious words of the Apocalypse
begin the liturgy of Sundays Mass; the Epistle
is an exhortation to the Christian to remember
how "the blood of Christ, Who through the
Holy Spirit offered Himself unblemished unto
God, will cleanse your conscience from dead
works to serve the living God;" the Gospel
presents the narrative of Christs death on the
Cross, depicting the scene when zone of the
soldiers opened His side with lance and i'm
medately there came out blood and water
the visible evidence that the Sacrifice of Re-
demption had been. accomplished.
AT this time, too the Church honors two of
her greatest saints, Peter and Paul, both of
whom shed their blood in testimony of their
loyalty to Christ Peter was chosen by Christ
from among His disciples as the Rock upon
which His Church was to be built; Paul was
chosen by Christ from among the prosecutors
of His people, to be converted and to become

Observation-Disclosures than
100 of this country's leading
scientists have come up with
a report which serves to re-
cali some impressive state
ments made six months ago by
His Holiness Pope Plus XII.
The report is based on a
year-long study, which appar-
emily was half completed when
the Holy Father delivered his
discourse, his Christmas allo-
cution of 1855.
"As for experiments of
atomic explosion" the H oily
Father said, 1.-The opinion of
those who fear the effects
produced if they are multi
piled would seem to be find
ing greater acceptance. Too
many such explosions would
in time cause an increased
density o. "adioactive products
in, the atmosphere, whose diff
fusion depends on elements
not under mans control; thus
would be generated conditions
very dangerous for many liv-
ing beings"
The u. S. scientists have
now informed the world that
man has been lucky" in his
peacetime e development of
atomic energy, for "he has
been dealing with an enor-
nous new force whose poben-
tial effects he has only dimly
understood" and thus far ''the
biological damage from peace
time activities has been
essentially negligible"
The report says mans pres
ent life expectancy could be
curtailed by increasingly ac-
cumulated exposure to atomic
radiation. Also, such exposure
could lead to mentally def
cient and malformed children
being born in greater numbers
and at a higher rate.

object of recreation demanding skill and physic-
al prowess. Yet, the Pontiff emphasized the
fact that the automobile driver must "not for
get to respect others on the road, to observe
courtesy to other drivers and pedestrians" In
addition, the automobile driver, sal dthe Pope,
must learn to conquer impatience and to sacri-
flee sense of honor by giving way to the
spirit of kindness that is true sign of charity"
When drivers realize the power for evil in the
weapon which they operate, they cannot escape
without guilt when accidents happen through
their carelessness and selfishness and impa-
tience. little act of thoughtlessness behind
steering wheel can lead to death and lifelong
conscience-stricken soul. Impatience may bring
long time to think in sorrow. Charity dictates
that we not only "Slow Down and Live" but
that we slow down and let others live.
