Religious Crusade On Highway Deaths American Churches Join In Campaign WASHINGTON (UP)—American churches are beginning to wage a religious crusade against death on the highways. They are telling their members that reckless driving* is not merely dangerous—it is a grave sin. And that having the brakes of your car checked is just as truly a moral obligation as staying sober when you get behind the wheel. Churches of all denominations are joining ih dJfofi&igii ik> bring Christian conscience to bear on the traffic safety problem. Pope Pius XII and many Protestant leaders, including evangelist Billy Graham and Presiding Bishop Henry Knox Sherrill of the Episcopal Church have strongly endorsed it. The movement is still too young to have much effect on the highway carnage that doubtless will accompany the approaching holiday season. But its long-range effect on the appalling toll of traffic fatalities could be considerable. Religion Practical on Road — Ned H. Dearborn, president of the National Safety Council, told the United Press he is “greatly encouraged by the increasing efforts of churches to stimulate their members to become more conscious of their social and moral obligation behind foe wheel of a cat” “There is no place where religion is more practical than in the driver’s seat of an automobile in modern traffic,” Dearborn said. “There, of all places, everyone literally should be his brother's keeper.” One of the most ambitious efforts to point up the religious issues involved in driving safely was made this fall in Greenwich, Conn. For five Sundays, beginning Sept. 30, the ministers of all Greenwich Churches emphasized in sermons that one of the quickest ways to

reduce the traffic toll would be for all, professed Christians to start exercising the qualities of love, courtesy and consideration of others when driving a car. “Sin of Neglect” They also pointed out that the Fifth Commandment—“ Thou shalt not kill”—is not restricted to deliberate murder, but also may be violated by the kind of gross carelessness which results in “accidental” highway deaths. The Christian Herald, widely circulated Protestant magazine, asks its readers in its current issue, “Are you a Christian at the wheel?” The article said that “UnChristian attitudes”—anger, impatience, selfishness, a desire to get ahead of or show up another driver —are a major cause of accidents. It also noted that “the sin of neglect” is involved in many highway tragedies. Therefore, it saidfrequent and careful inspection of your car’s safety features—particularly brakes, tires and headlights —is a moral obligation in the same sense as attending church and reading the Bible. Mrs. Mabel Striker Elected Treasurer Mrs. Mabel Striker, Adams county recorder, was elected treasurer of the Indiana records at the meeting .of Indiana county commissioners and other county officials in Indianapolis.
