Safety Council News

Don't let your dream of won
derful vacation or weekend turn
into a horrible nightmare"
This warning to motorists was
issued yesterday by ]. James Ash
ton, Manager of the Delaware Safe
ty Council.
"A dream of a vacation can be-
come a nightmare in just a matter
of seconds for the driver who sets
out to cover too much territory in
too little time," he said.
Mr.. Ashton pointed out that the
motorist who is trying to drive an
unwise schedule is too prone to
take chances, to set aside caution
and press down on the accelerator
without regard for prevailing traf-
fic, weather, roadway or even his
own fatigued physical condition.
He advised vacationers to start
early in the day and to stop in time
in the evening for a good nights
rest before beginning the next lap
of their journey.
"It's also wise," he said, "to pro-
vide time for frequent rest stops
along the route-periodic coffee
breaks or a walk in the open air to
relax taut nerves and tired mus
cles."
Motorists were urged to take a
tip from safety-minded commercial
trucking companies, which insist
that their drivers stop occasionally
for coffee, and, if sleepy, for a
brisk walk around the truck before
continuing.
Mr.. Ashton also emphasized the
following rules:
1. Before starting out, be sure
your car is in perfect mechanical
condition.
2. Space driving with adequate
rest periods always be alert at the
wheel.
8. Know what to expect Learn
the driving regulations of the
states you'll be driving through be-
fore you start your trip.
4. Load your car carefully. Be
sure baggage and equipment is
loaded so that is cannot shift dan
gerously, or obstruct vision in any
way.
"And," said Mr.. Ashton 1--WE hope
that all our drivers will keep their
real goal constantly in mind-to
arrive back home again alive, well
and happy.

Successful family life is not an
easy accomplishment.
A husband and father must be the
head of the family. He must lead it
and support it. He must be teacher,
Judge, athletic coach, and live in two
worlds: the world of his occupation
and that of his home by always having
time for his wife and children.
A wife and mother must be the
heart of the family. She must be many
women in one: purchasing agent, deco
rator, budget-keeper, practical nurse,
competent hostess, creative cook and
dietician, amateur plumber, painter
and carpenter, part-time psychiatrist,
good companion, and teacher of the
worlds most important class-the little
child. She must be ever so balanced
and give her whole life to husband and
children.

A model for families is presented in

TEND the funeral or visit the
funeral home?
A. There would seem to be
no obstacle to the Christian
work of mercy involved in
visiting the funeral home. We
certainly should pray for
such a person and we can try
to console the family by our
visit there. Even if the fami-
ly is also out of the Church
they are more likely to be
moved by true Christian char
ity than by a condemnatory
action they do not under
stand. If such a person, how
ever, died in notorious repudi-
alton of the Church there
might be scandal e.g. in the
case of a famous actor who is
supposed to be Catholic. AS
far as the funeral is concern
ed we might be allowed to at
tend a non-religious service
at the funeral parlor if there
is no scandal but ordinarily
the funeral of a known Catho-
lie involving a religious serv-
ice we should avoid. In each
case there would be differing
circumstances and Catholics
should consult their pastors
or confessors.
q. Is II wrong TO attend .

A. Parents and others in

out Of the Church. II persua-
sion is not Immediately effec-
tive we should still maintain
charity and try to show all
ordinary signs of courtesy and
kindness. Unless there is some
reason for scandal at the
time there would seem to be
no moral reason for avoiding

-. there are works of the

es his personal freedom. He
knows no better method of
getting away from the boss
than to retire to his garden

tice a Catholic should check
with his confessor when he is
in doubt. The principle re-
mains always the same: we
are to keep the Lords Day
free Of workday activities and
labor. In addition, of course,
there is the question Of ex-
cusing causes for doing SER
vile work e.g. farmers during
rush of harvesting. This au-
thor concludes: "This common
sense norm would define SER
vile work as the labor which
you put out during the week

The Yardstick
First Year OF JAWS
Watch Dog Committee
Rr Nrnr Conrno r. usrr,r
By Msgr. George G.. Higgins

summarized in its First Annu-
nj Report.
Copies Of this Report, which
was submitted by the Chair
man to the JAW member
ship on Dec. 10, can be OBJ
tanned free of charge by writ
ing to the Executive Director
Of the Public Review Board,
1409 David Stott Building, De
troit rs. Mich, or to the JAW,
Solidarity House, 5000 East
Jefferson, Detroit, Mich.
This Report demonstrates
rather conclusively, in my
opinion, that the premature
criticism which, in certain
limited circles, greeted the
establishment of the P.R.B.. a
year ago last Spring was UNI
warranted. The burden of
most of this criticism, as pre-
viously noted, was TO the ef-
feet that the creation of the
Board was a public relations
gimmick and that the Board
would be used" by the top
leadership of the JAW for
mountaineering purposes.
Implicit in some Of this
criticism was the unstated as
sumption that the JAW is a
corrupt international which
was trying. by means Of this
so.eslled public relations
coup, TO gain enough respeets-
bility TO get the Mcclellan
Committed off its back.
Now that the P.R.B. has
been in operation for more
than a year, this sort OF critl.
cism falls of its own weight.
To be more specific, the
record shows that the PRB,
on the one hand, has called
the shots as it saw them and
that the JAW, on the other
hand, has scrupulously re-
spected the Boards complete
ly autonomous and independ-
ent status and has never in
any way attempted. either di-
rectly or indirectly, to influ-
ence the Boards decisions.
THE FUTURE?
Secondly, the record shows
las the chairman, Rabbi Nor
ris Adler, puts it in his Pref
ace to the Boards First An
nual Report - that "the JAW
F. is free from corruption and
gross perversion of the dem
