ARMS OF THE LAW

YMPIA, Wash. = Up -
Washington state law rules out
"hugging drivers" But there's
apparently a loOphole.
In a legal opinion, Attorney
General Don Eastvold said young
man can't drive with his arm
around a girl.
Conviction calls. for mandatory
suspension of ones drivers Ii
cense, Eastvold pointed out. Also,
before the license can be reinstat-
ed, proof must be offered of the
drivers financial responsibility.
But,-and here's the loophole-
there was nothing said that would
prohibit a young lady from putting
HER arm around the driver, as
long as he held both hands on
the steering wheel.

Safety Council News

Don't leave your morality in the
garage" motorists were urged to-
day by the Rev. Thomas A. Law
less, headmaster of Salesianum
School, in connection with the win
ter traffic safety program being
sponsored here by the Delaware
Safety Council.
Father Lawless reminded drivers
and pedestrians of the moral prin-
ciples that should guide us all in
traffic as well as in our daily
lives"
Appalled, by the terrible traffic
toll last year, called for a revitali-
cation of the moral climate on the
streets and roads. "A violation of a
traffic law is just as serious as an
infraction of a criminal law" he
said.
Il cannot understand" he said,
why decent, law-abiding citizens,
who would never knowingly COM
NIT a crime, almost wilfully COM
nit traffic violations.
Father Lawless asked all citi-
zens-driYers and pedestrians a.
like-to join in the year-long effort
launched last month by the Nation
al Safety Council to curb the rising
trend in traffic accidents.
"The Back the Attack on Traffic
Accidents program is worthy of
everyoRe's earnest support" he
said. I'VE must not resign our
selves to the ';nevitability' of traf-
fic accidents. They can be prevent
ed: they are being reduced in some
communities. The Back the At
tack program is an attempt to
apply to all communities the same
methods that have been successful
in many individual communities" "
He explained that the program
has three aspects: support for. Off
cials, cooperation with the local
safety organization and improved
PERSONAL conduct on the part of
drivers and pedestrians.
"The third aspect is the one
which each of us must face if we
are to curb the rising tide of traf-
fic accidents" he said. I'VE must
ask ourselves if we are driving
with the skill, attention and proper
attitudes that will prevent acci-
dents.
"This month is a good time to be-
gin to work seriously at curbing
traffic accidents. January condi-
tions are normally more perilous
and require extra care.
Let none of us find it necessary
to answer to our conscience in ask
ing if our own eerelessness was re-
sponsible for injuring or taking the
lives of our fellow men,"

Thus 18-year-old Diane Hether-

telephone cable-laying crew on
lonely Cape Scott at the tip of
northern Vancouver Island. One

heart attack.
She was instructed to write the
story. She wrote first how a tele-

would be congratulations from a
friend told of her fathers plight
instead.
II was kind of numbed But
our family motto is, Don't worry
until father says there's something
to worry about and he hadn't told
us to worry"
Later, before her deadline, word
was re!ayed that her father had
been rescued, although suffering
from a heart seizure. He sent her
birthday greetings.
II hung up and breathed a sigh
of relief" she typed. Il became
aware that in writing of others |
