Old Glory

Complaints and laments have been voiced re-
Gently about the relatively small number of families
who displayed our flag on Flag Day and independence
Day.
THIS DOES SEEM to be true if one recalls that
wears ago many streets were fairly well filled with
Old Glory on holidays. Even the impetus of a 49-star
flag and now a 50-star one has not done as much as
might be expected.
Of course there is no basic connection between
LOYALTY to country and the display of our flag. But 1t
seems to be another indication that patriotism Is not
particularly in style at this time.
ARGENT SURVEY of 700 American ~teenagers
revealed that two-thirds answered no" when asked
rs patriotism an important part Of your life" A great
number said patriotism was less important that sports,
than dating, and choice of clothing.
Even allowing for the caprice of youth and the
strange questions asked in some surveys, the above re-
suits are not heartening.
In times of prosperity, patriotism, like most
forms of prayer, is not popular. Many turn to these
things only in time of trouble and war.
1T WOULD BE WELL for us all to examine our
conselences on this matter. We do not need super
ficiaf flag-waying or anthem-singing, but it is essential
to ouk national future that the American people mani
fest 4 deep love and loyalty for our country and its
ideak.
If this sounds o~ut-dated, that is too bad. We had
better return to the @old-fashioned' patriotism that
has marked our history if we expect Old Glory to con-
tinue TO symbolic the unique freedoms we enjoy as
Americans. CAT

Traffic Killers

This past weekend witnessed the annual slaugh
ter of hundreds of people in traffic accidents.
A COLUMBUS NEWSPAPER editorialized that
all the slogans and exhortations seem Intellectual and
that the only chance for safety seems to lie in sitter
penalties for drivers, such as permanent revocation
of operators licenses.
The editorial admitted that even this will not
solve the problem completely. And we certainly agree.
LAST WEEK the Bishop of Lafayette, Louisi-
ana, announced that Christian burial will be denied
any Catholic who is criminally negligent in traffic
deaths This is a strong statement but one that touches
the real issue of traffic responsibility. The issue is a
moral one and serious yiolators of traffic laws break
the Fifth Commandment of God.
Recently an Individual took a long trip and kept
his speed, as much as possible, right on the maximum
limit. In almost every instance other cars passed him
AND moved out Of sight, showing that they we're
exceeding the limit by at least ten or more miles per
hours.
1T would be an over-Simplification to say: every
one breaks the speed limit at least on the open road.
But u rs fairly close to the truth.
MORE POLICE, sitter penalties, expanded safe
ty campaigns will help but the greater number of
deaths and accidents in traffic will continue until in.
dividuals realize that it is a sin to drive carelesslv in
defiance OF Gods law. As with all other moral evils,
the community problem will not be solved unless in
