A Job to
Put
Heart In

The story behind these
pictures is the story Of a girl
who has, as she puts it. "a
job you can put your heart
in"
Annie Sullivan, whose
name is similar to the Ann
Sullivan who taught Helen
Keller, spends her days teach
ing handicapped children at
the D. c. Society for Crippled
Children, and many of her
evenings acting in plays with
the Little Theater Group of
the Catholic Club Of George
town.
A drama and psychology
graduate Of Seton Hill Col
lege in Pennsylvania. who
has taken additional work at
st. Bonaventure College and
Catholic University, Miss Sui
Ivan who is affectionately
known to her colleagues and
friends as Sully, has been
teaching at the D. c. Society
for the 5 years since she left
college.
She teaches a special func-
tional class Of severely ham
dicapped nursery schoolers,
and spends part Of her time
administering psychological
tests to individual children.
designed to discover their
educational potential.
When you ask her why she
prefers teaching handicapped
youngsters to a career in
drama, she has a ready an
swer.
when you work with these
children over several years."
said Sully, you begin to
realize the true meaning and
satisfaction Of the work.
When they come in many Of
them are so helpless they
can't even sit up. The look Of
triumph on a child's face
when he buttons his first
button. or says his first in
telligible word is worth all
the time and effort. It is
these looks Of triumph that
serve TO make US all more
patient and understanding
with the children. These
things. OF course. do not
happen every day. but 1t is
the thought that you are
doing your small part toward
eventual achievement that
makes working with handi-
capped children such a Joy"

Safe Trip Tip4

ers, Sunday" drivers (even
when it's only Saturday, are cut
on the highways in full force. AS
an aid to motorists, the Sentry
Safety Council of the Sentry In
surance companies has compiled
these safe driving tips:
Have your car safety checked.
Lights, tires, steering, brakes,
exhaust system, wipers, horn,
should all be in safe condition.
. Leave orbiting to astronauts.
Install and use seat belts.
Hold your horses" on super
highways. Beware of tendency
to speed up.
. Keep whole traffic scene in
view-watch all objects for a
block ahead in town, half a
mile in country.
. Tailgating is dangerous. Drop
back at least one car length for
each ten miles of speed.
Before changing lanes, make
sure another driver isn't start
ing to pass you.
= Pull to the right and stop when
you hear a siren or see a flash
ing red light reminds the
Sentry Safety Council.
. Everyone knows dangers of
driving while under influence
of alcohol. Users of drugs like
"pep pills., tranquilizers, anti
histamines, are a threat to safe
ty. Ask your doctor about driv-
ing after taking medication.
. If something goes wrong with
your car, pull off highway;
raise hood; tie white cloth on
door nearest road.
. Always make sure your driv-
er's license is up to date and
your insurance Identification
card is tucked in your billfold.
Finally, the Sentry Safety
Council says you never drive
alone. Your passengers, people
in oncoming cars, cars you pass,
pedestrians who cross your path,
family members at home, all de-
pend upon your driving actions.

jury-producing accidents in
volved trucks.
Speeding was the third
highest cause of accidents
and the number one cause
of fatal accidents. The other
two major causes of accl-
dents were failure to yield
right-of-Way and following
too closely. Speed was also
listed as a factor in these
two catagories.
Birdsong stated in tn e
final paragraph, "This is to
advise you that | am today
directing all members of the
Mississippi Highway Patrol
assist you in every way pos
sible to bring about a reduc-
ton in the speed of vehicles
by taking enforcement action
when necessary in order to
accomplish this objective =
Last year was one of the
highest fatal accident years
in Mississippi history, a n d
yet, rs more people have al
ready met a tragic and hor-
rible death upon our high
ways this year than last, or
a total of 317 have died on
our highways to date as re-
suit of traffic accidents" :"
