CritchIoWP Puts
Fi|Iip in 800
In Star Came,

Art CritchIow Of st. Johns
University has entered The Star
Games and that promises to
put extra zip in the 600-yard
sprint, one of the featured
events in the big games Janu-
ary % at the Armory.
Critchlow has just begun to
race, first attracting attention
last winter when, as a provi-
sional starter, he roared home
in front Of the famed Josh Cul-
breath and Manhattan's Kye
Courtney in the New York Ath-
letic Clubs 500-yard sprint IN
Madison Square Garden.
That victory plus a 1928
clocking against Army and first
place in the Metropolitan New
York Intercollegiates gained
Critchlow ranking as the Ma
tion's ninth best at 440 to 600
yards last winter.
Critchlow went up against
Culbreath, 1858 Star Games
winner and former world rec
ord holder in the 440-yard
hurdles, again last March in
the Hollywood Optimist Re-
lays. Again the newcomer pre-
vailed. hitting the tape in front
Of Culbreath In 49.6 seconds.
Critchlow will be cunning for
one Of the older records on The
Star Games books. Jamaica s
great .star, Arthur Wint, won
the event in sl:l2.0 and the
closest anyone has come since
was the l:12.7 clocking by Joe
Gaffney. former Villanova star,
in 1855.
Frank Bowens of Winston
Salem won last winter in l:l3.6.
st. Johns also hopes to have
on hand one Of the better
teams for the Variety Club Mile
Relay, last event on q packed
program.
Mail orders are being ac-
cepted at The Star Games, The

TEEN-AGE CAR CLUBS

jacket with the Kustoms emblem is among their
prize possessions.
"Teen-agers are good drivers" says Prince
Georges Police Pvt. Joseph Marcheggiani, one of
the Kustoms' eight adult counseors. Car clubs
have helped them to be better drivers. They
don't want to lose the advantages of the club"
We've kicked members out for hot-roddng
around town" explains Tony Hughes, the 19-year-
old sergeant at arms
Were on our honor to tell if we get ticket"
says Ralph Riccardi, Bladensburg High sopho-
more who is Tony's deputy. "Then we appear
at kangaroo court at the clubs weekly meeting
We're fined by the club the same amount as the
police fine U.S."
KustomS members may be quick to fine each
other, but they're quick also to help stranded
motoriSt fix flat or get gas or push.
The motoriSt is then handed card which
reads 'sYou have been assisted by member of the
Prince Georges KuStomS, rod and custom club.
Courtesy and Safe Driving are our Kustom."
"We want to Sweeten the word hot-rod," ex-
pains Counselor Arty Freda.
The KustomS Club is unique in that members
are insured for $100 900 each and the boys have
former airplane hangar at Queens Chapel Airport
for clubhouse and garage. The Prince Georges
County Fraternal Order of Police sponsor the
club and the Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission lets the club have the
airport site while it's not in use.
The club is divided into mechanical unit
and body and paint group. The boys help one
another keep their cars in shape
Adult professionals in automobile mechanics
and body work give talks to the club. And the
club gives instructions in how to drive car for
those who haven't got drivers licenses. MEM
berShip starts at 16D
Owning a car isn't necessary but most men,
berS have one or two. They also have jobs to
keep them in parts and supplies. One boy worked
seven days week last summer so he could Gus
tonize his car with special paint and upholstery.
The KustomS Club was formed about year
ago after nine boys approached Pvt Marcheg-
giani at the police station and asked him to help
them ignite" such group.
Realizing the fun the boys are having without
them, girls have tried to become members of the
KuStomS Club or to form an auxiliary such as
the KuStometteS, but the boys in the black and
gold jackets tell them "No" It's not that they
don't like girls-far from it, but they just love
cars one of them explains.
AS 19-year-old Richard Kelley puts 1t when
asked which he likes better: 'Tts toSs-up. But
for me, my girl takes back seat when it comes to
cars"

NEW YORK, - In Geauga
County, it is the home not
the highway - that is t h
scene of the greatest number
of accidents.
That fact stands out in
figures compiled by the Ma
tional Office of Vital Statis-
tics, by insurance compan :
les and others.
1t is in line with the nation
al experience, reported b y
the National Safety Council,
that disabling injuries in the
home total no less than A.
100000 a year as compared
Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1960-06-02

Geauga County, at that av-
erage rate, has a total of 8O2
household injuries a year.
The enormity Of the home
accident problem is highlight-
ed by the findings reached in
the National Health Survey j.,
conducted by the Public
Health Service on a house
TO house sampling basis.
They show that falls in the
home are, by far, the most
frequent type of accident
Many of them occur on stair
ways and are attributed to
torn carpets, faulty handrails
and poor lighting. Many 9TH
erS result when people climb
up on chairs or ladders.
Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1960-06-02

cidents of 15.2 per 100000 pop
ulation.
This is above the national
rate of 1872 per 100000 and
Central States, 1871 per 100,
above that in the East North
600.
The National Safety Coun =
ellis report reveals, how =
ever, that this is far from a
complete picture Of the haz-
ards of home living. For
every person killed, there are
some l48 people, on the aver
age, who sustain disabling in
jurieS, defined as injuries
that require medical aid or
that incapacitate a person
for a day or more.
Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1960-06-02

Fires and burns are rank
ed second to falls as a haz-
ard.
The economic loss due to
home accidents, considering
only medical expenses, lost
wages and the overhead cost
of insurance, is estimated at
5000 million a year by t he
National Safety Council.
Geauga County's part of
that cost, based on its acci-
dent record, is $180,000

THE BASIS FOR
UNDERSTANDING THE BIYLE

IF any man will Go His will,
he shall know of the doctrine,
whether it be of God, or whether
speak of myself" - John TIT
A more literal translation of
our text would read like this:
IF one determines to carry out
His (God's) will (what He has
determined shall be done), he
will come to know for himself
concerning the ID doctrine (the
teaching which has God, Christ,
the Lord, for its author and sup
porter)." d
This text is the key to the
solution of ones intellectual diff
culties with Christianity. We
note that ones moral purpose
must be in sympathy with the
will of God. We cannot excuse
ourselves with the attitude, 81
am doing the best l can" In our
natural state our best does not
measure up to what God wants
of us. For all have sinned, and
come short of the glory of Cod
(Romans 1929.
Sympathy with the will of God
is condition of understanding
it. The Scripture q Corinthians
2:14) tells us that "the natural
man receiveth not the thing OF
the Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither can
he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned."
Many affirm that they cannot
be Christians because of some
supposed intellectual difficulties
Because Of these difficulties they
reject Christ. One will say, q
cannot believe in good ano
omnipotent God while l see al
of the human suffering in the
world" Another says, 81 cannot
believe in Christianity because Of
the apparent contradictions in the
Bible" Another excuse is, g.
cannot be a believer in God be,
cause science contradicts the bib
lical account of creation" An.
