Road Freeze
Repeal Asked
ByAAAUnit

The American Automobile
Associations D. C. Division has
called upon the Congress to re-
peal the five-year freeze on
highway construction in North
west Washington which affects
some highway planning in
Montgomery County.
The District Of Columbia,
Suburban Maryland and North
ern Virginia Advisory Boards
of the D. c. Division, AAA, ap-
proved a resolution asking Con-
gress to repeal the freeze on
highway construction in Section
204 (b) CD of the National
Capital Transportation Act of
1860. The act was approved by
Congress last July.
The resolution gave four
reasons why the AAA is op-
posed to the five-year freeze:
such a freeze, by its very
nature, defeats the detectives of
a balanced transportation
plan" as proposed in the 1859
Transportation Plan of the Ma
tional Capital Region; such a
freeze makes it 'next to impos-
sible" for area highway depart
ments to adequately plan high
way development for the future
in the Northwest section of the
District, in Montgomery County,
Md, and across the Potomac in
Virginia, tying in with the D. c.
system.
Also, the resolution continued,
the freeze will result in vastly
increased costs in securing
rights-of-way and the freeze in
highway construction could set
very bad example for other
metropolitan areas.
The three AAA Advisory
Boards represent the 126,30O
members of the D. C. Division
of the AAA.

filled on festive occasions and es-
pecially on Easter Sunday Every
body seems to go to church on that
day. Last Easter | blushed a bit
uneasily when the minister seemed
to look squarely at me as he said
that, since he probably would not
see many of us again until another
Easter morning dawned, he would
use this opportunity to wish us all
a Merry Christmas And that min
lister was pretty nearly right, too.
for / am the Irregular Pew, and
if absence makes the heart grow
fonder,' ] must have tremendous
love for my church.
And now hear voice far to the
rear of the church, speaking hesi-
tatingly as if ashamed. Listening
intently / catch these words: Il am
the PARSIMoNIOUS PEW. Now
parsimonious is a big word but
there is nothing big about me es-
pecially when it comes to giving.
Nickels and dimes are more my
size than dollars. The most SEN
sitive nerve / have Is the one that
leads to my pocketbook and when
that nerve is touched-oh, how !
squirmi / ought to be ashamed of
it but l am 'Parismonious Pew"
Scarcely had this bench stopped
speaking when / heard a chorus
of cheerful voices. 1t seemed as
III ~
to speak at once. This is what they
had to say: 1--WE are the FAITH
Full PEWS.' Heed not the dis
gruntled ones who speak so loud
ly; they are very small minority.
We and not they are the real
church. We come to worship and
not to find fault. We deeply ap-
preciate the services of our min
lister and our choir. Individually
and collectively they serve us faith
fully and well. Why criticize them.
They merit our praise instead and
when it comes to giving to pros
per the work of the church we do
it gladly and literally, for we are
the Faithful Pews'"
And now, as l leave the church
to go back to my books, the sun
seems to shine bit brighter be-
cause | know that my church and
yours has so many Faithful Pews."
Thank God they are the great ma
jority.

FIGURES MAKE SENSE

BOISE, Idaho up = Tere's a
simple formula that A. E. Perkins,
superintendent of the Idaho State
Police, says dramatizes the impli-
cations of speed:
Just take half the speedometer
reading and add this to the full
reading.
''The total becomes the feet your
car is travelling in a single second,
says Perkins.
Thus car travelling at so miles
an hour is covering 80 feet every
second. AT 80 mp.h., it's 4S feet
per second.
''Too many drivers, Perkins
says, have their first accident =
and sometimes their last = before
they accept the fact that they can't
stop on a dime.

At times my imagination behaves
like a galloping horse-it runs
away with me. 1t did that a few
years ago when l was still in the
active ministry. Lend me your
ears and | will tell you about it.
The day was Monday. AS / walk
ed down the aisle of my church no
one was near. The church was dis
tressingly empty. Even the floor
squeaked as / lolled along. If /
were superstitious l might say few
places are quite as "spooky" as a
church without any people in it.
How yawningly empty this row af-
ter row of seatsi And then my i'm
agination began to perk up and
take notiaa. Each pew seemed sud-
denly to be clothed with character,
the character of the people who
occupy the pews Sunday after Sun
day. One by one they began to
speak and the first to be heard iden-
titled itself with these words:
l am the CRITICAL PEW.
watch everything with a jaundiced
eye. | just love to find fault. If
the minister makes a mistake in
pronunciation, gets mixed up in
his metaphors, or is guilty of a
harmless grammatical error, l catch
it every time and whisper it to
others sitting close to me. If the
choir chances to sing off key, or the
anthem is poorly chosen, or the So
loist hits a sour note, or the or
ganist blunders ever so slightly, /
never fail to voice my disapproval.
I rub my finger carefully over ev-
erything within my reach and if !
find any dust anywhere, / vow that
the caretaker shall hear of it In no
uncertain tones. And if anything
else in the service goes slightly
askew, it always gets my eager at
tention. Yes, indeed, am the Crit
ical Pew" and, strange though it
may seem, / am happiest when /
grumble.
In silent dissent from such an
attitude | turn my eyes to another
pew and it, too, begins to speak.
This is what it says: 81 am the IR-
REGULAR PEW. See, the varnish
that covers me is just as glossy as
