Driver's Judgment Lessened By Drink Scientists Soy One Drink Is Too Many By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPD— A new and probably more meaningful test of the effect of alcohol on a driver’s ability to driven safely has turned up proof that even one drink is one too many. The investigating scientists were so impressed they said there ought to be laws forbidding driving after even the smallest drink, until enough time had passed for the effect to wear off. Previous tests measured the degree to which drink affected the reactions and the skills of drivers. On the basis of those tests, the National Safety Council considers that a blood alcohol level from zero to 0.05 per cent does not in itself make a driver less safe. The new test measured what alcohol does to the minds of drivers — to their judgment and their willingness to take chances. On the basis of this test, any level above zero, no matter how slight, can lessen a driver’s judgment while increasing his sense of daring, Old Is Meaningless The old way of testing is meaningless for drivers who have had only a few drinks, said Dr. John Cohen and his associates, E. J. Darnaley and C. E. M. Hansel. Perhaps their reaction times and driving skils are unchanged, but if so, so what? The “decisive” question is what alcohol has done to their thinking. The scientists tested veteran bus drivers with conspicuous records for safe driving. All were sober family men; their average age was 45. If alcohol upset their judgment, then the "co ns equences” of drink would be much more serious “in younger, less experienced, or less skillful drivers,” it was reasoned. Two white-painted posts were set up on a testing ground. One Stop That Cough ÜBE “OUR OWN” COUGH SYRUP KOHNE DRUG STORE

I post was movable and thus the distance between posts could be’ varied. Each man sat behind the wheel of a stationary bus eightfeet wide pointed at a seven-foot gap between posts from a distance of 12 feet. The gap was widened two inches at a time until the driver selected the width of the gap which he thought he could drive the bus through without touching r either post. j Driven Selects Gap f That was the test of judgment. 5 It was followed by a test of darj ing-do. Each driver was required s to select hte narrowest gap through which he was willing to try to drive his bus five times ’ without touching either post any time. He was then asked to do it, to see if, he could. The drivers were divided into three groups. Those in one group drank 1.76 ounces of scotch with ’ soda, group two downed some fast ones, totalling 5.5 ounces of , scotch. Group three got nothing. The results were statistically calculated to get scientific accuracy despite “variables,” such as the fact that the same amount of alcohol will have less effect on one person than another. These , “statisticaly significant” results were: the cold sober drivers correctly estimated the width between posts through which an eight-foot bus could pass, and when they undertook to drive a bus repeatedly through the narf 1 cr 14 n t hj-’ V . ed. The one-drink drivers were less successful, and the multipledrink ones did even worse. Dr. Cohen is professor of psychology, University of Manchester, Eng. He has a world reputation for studies of the psychology of drivers—and gamblers. Berne School Head Reported Injured E. M. Webb, superintendent of schools at Berne ,is reported in i the St. Joseph hospital in Fort Wayne as the result of an accident in the new addition being built at the Berne school. Webb was reportedly showing : a group through the building when ; he brushed against a support. The support fell, and a large piece of concerte hit him on the head, knocking him into the basement of the addition. His condition is reported as good, and he is not believed to have suffered, a concussion.

Pacifists Argue War Totally Evil ' Debate On War Has Raged For Centuries By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Can Christians conscientiously support the use of jnilitary fbrete to resolve international disputes? Pacifists answer that question with a categorical ‘up’. Most Christian theologians. Catholic and Protestant, answer it with a heavily qualified “yes." The debate has been going on for centuries. It is always intensified by events, like the current Middle East crisis, which force people to think of war as something more than an abstract possibility. Although pacifists have historically been in the minority, they have one great advantage in the ancient debate: their position is much more simple, clear-cut and easy to explain. Essentially the pacifict argument goes like this: Antithesis of Jesus War is totally evil. It is destructive of human life and human values. In this era of nuclear weapons particularly, it can never have a “good" outcome. It is the complete antithesis of the spirit of Jesus, who commanded his followers to love their enemies, to turn the other cheek when struck, and to return good for evil. At this point, pacifists branch into two schools. The ‘pure” pacifist says simply that he will follow a policy of non-violence, whatever its consequences may be. If the consequences are disaster, he is prepared to accept that as the price of bearing loyal witness to what he conceives to be the teachings of Christ. >■ The "practical” pacifist argues that non-violence is a workable plan for avoiding the ultimate catastrophe of nuclear war. He says that if Christians refuse to bear arms against an enemy, the enemy will be won over by their exmple of love, and there will be peace. Christians who are non-pacifists agree that aggressive or “preventive” war cannot be morally justified under any circumstances, and that even a defensive war is inherently contrary to Christian teachings. But they believe there are some circumstances in which a willingness to resort to force is the lesser of two evils. Between Two Evils Prof. Robert McAfee Brown of Union Theological Seminary puts it this way: Suppose you are walking down the street and see a thug beating up a defenseless man. You know that Christ has commanded you to love your neighbor. But who is your neighbor in this particular situation, and how are you to express your love? If you refuse to intervene in the struggle, you tacitly give support to the thug. If you intervene, you have to use force. A distinguished Catholic writer, John Cogley, put the same argument in different words. Militarism is evil, Cogley wrote \in the magazine Commonweal, but Christians must also recognize that American armed might “has kept us from destruction.” A new churning process has been developed at Oregon State College I which turns out butter that will spread smoothly at 48 degrees.

from God, no hide-away from duty. In one sense the home is the easiest place to live. When some one wants to express the idea of a delightful situation i he will say it is like "one big

happy family.” On theother hand the home is a very difficult place to live, just because those who make it up are so very different. Anywhere else in the World, for instance, a man has other men he can team up with; but in the home father is the only man. He has only a woman and children for company. They love him and he loves them; but they are all so different that they are hard to understand. Social Jastlce la the Homo It is hard to comprehend the meaning of ‘‘social justice” in society at large. The whole thing is so complex and enormous that we seldom feel certain of the answers. But when we look at a single home, the problem is in some ways clearer. For example: The home makes it plain that "justice” is not the same thing as treating every one precisely alike. A good diet for mother may be a poor one for father, and what both of them eat may be poison for the baby. Father, mother and child have different parts to play in the home, they have different contributions to make, they need from the home different benefits. The Bible at many points deals with the home, and If what is said sounds too simple and commongenre for inspired Scripture, we must recall that the home itself which we take far granted, is itself a product of the religion of the Bible. One thing the Bible makes plain is of the essence of justice: rights and responsibilities go together. The father and the mother between them furnish the support, they command and teach. Tb« Teaching Mother No one will try to make light of a mother’s willing sacrifice in bringing a child into the world. But if all a woman does for her children is to give them birth she is not the Bible’s idea of a good mother. A woman who has a child who, because of her neglect, is only a future thief or killer, might better not have had the child at all. The Bible (as in Proverbs) often brings out directly or indirectly the importance of a good mother in a child’s life. And the thing often mentioned is her service as teacher. She is the principal teacher — or she can be, if she gives her time and mind to it—of her child for his first six years. What has all this to do with "justice”? This much, at least: One important feature of justice, in society or in the family, is giving each person an opportunity to render all the service of which he is capable. Hence if mothers are going to be good teachers, we must see how important the education of girls is. “Educate a boy and you educate a future man. Educate a girl and you educate a future family.” If mothers are to be teachers, then justice requires that everyone, husband and community alike, give them every encouragement and opportunity to live with their children. Tk« CNMren In the Bible’s teaching about the home, one feature is stressed which is not at all popular today, though oar country would be a* better one if it were more popular: namely the idea of obedience. What is the best contribution a child can make to the well-being of a home? Two things every child can bring: Cheerfulness, and obedience. And what has this to do with justice? It should be obvious: Justice does not require that everybody in a given group or situation should be the equal of everybody else there. There is such a thing as subordination which is fair and right. Justice in the home does not call for children to be treated like grownups. There is no conflict whatever between love and obedience; indeed the best obedience la the obedience of love. (Based ea eeiHaee eapnlcMe* by Dhristae ri CkrUtias Education.
