Driver’s License Isn’t Perfection

When Junior enters the front door and proudly shouts, “Guess what? I just passed my driver’s test,” most parents greet this announcement with mixed emotions. Dad may feel that he should trot out the family soapbox and make an oration on safety rules. Yet, he doesn’t want to spoil the excitement. The young person has been taught what, be shoud know about control of the car, traffic regulations and freeway signs, but you cannot escape having a fallible human being behind the wheel. * Are freeways your hangup? Many teen-age drivers feel insecure about freeway driving. Many find entering and leaving them the most difficult part of driving. Some aren’t too sure they can read the signs or know exactly where all those arrows are pointing. The truth is that there are less accidents based on miles driven on freeways than there are on surface streets. If you haven't had experience driving the freeways, enlist dad’s help. Learn the correct ways to enter and leave the Haired Only Harts Person Who Hates I believe a grizzly bear is the most unpredictable of any animal in the Western world, and more dangerous than any other with the possible exception of a vicious buffaloor a mean Kodiak bear There is only one animal that I know of that a grizzly will allow to feed with him and that is a skunk all others are banished I am sure there would be no contest between the two if it came to a fight, but why doesn’t Mr Bear run the skunk off also’ Because he has found from experience that it does not pay I learned early to leave fourlegged skunks alone It took awhile for me to learn about the two-legged ones and to leave them alone Why? Because when we stir up our enemies, we give, them power •over us When we hit head on with someone, we pay for it in our mental peace, rest, our blood pressure, our health, our appetites and our happiness When you hate someone 1 it costs you something If that hated person knew how much he was worrying you and getting even with you by your loss of life joy. he w6uld undoubtedly be extremely happy Our hate does not hurt him Hate turns your days and your nights into a boiling emotional hell So who is getting hurt' Who do you suppose said this “If a person tries to take advantage of you. be very careful what you do and say. but do not try to get even When you try to gel even, you only hurt yourself more than that other fellow " These words sound like they were written by some wildeyed dreamer but they were not They were given out in ’ a bulletin by the police department of Atlanta. Ga (where I worked, while attending Emory University» When Jesus taught His disciples to ’/love your enemies.*’ it was not just a matter of ethics He was also telling us about 20th Century medicine When He said. "Forgive seventy times seven. " Jesus was not talking about grace. He was telling us how to keep from having high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, heart trouble and other related ailments Ailments which can come as the’result of the poison we pour into our own system though our own choice Besides, when we have been u-gh to “love your enemies." we are being told how to improve our emotions, attitudes and our looks I know persons as you certainly do who have faces hardened by hate and lined and disfigured by their internal hostile resentment All the beautyaids in the world cannot improve our faces half'so much as a mind attitude of forgiveness, love and honest jo.' \ If you cannot possibly love your enemies, then quietly let them be. but learn to love yourself Love yourself so much that you will not permit anyone to control or rob you of your happiness, health or your looks .. Remember that no one can disturb rob vou of your peace of mind unless you let them The question for each of us is: Is hating an enemy worth the cost?

freeways. Familiarize yourself with freeway design and construction. Most of us take passengers with us when we drive and we have a moral obligation to see that they arrive safely at their destination. Concentrate on your driving and what the other drivers are doing. This is a full-time job. Remember that your /manners are showing when you drive. Haven’t we all seen an otherwise soft-spokeh, mild-mannered man lose con- 5 trol of emotions when trapped in traffic or become impatient if the light changes to red as he gets to an intersection? How many of us try to pass a car on a curve? What is your reaction to bumper-to-bumper traffic? Do you yell at the other drivers? Driving gives a person an excellent opportunity to learn how to control his emotions, to accept the inevitable, and to excuse the faults of OTHER drivers. Katurally, your own driving is beyond reproach. Follow your doctor’s advice. Drugs and driving don’t mix. When your doctor prescribes some valuable medication and insists that no driving be done for a specific number of hours, heed the advice. Drug abuse has brought attention to the hazards of driving while using barbiturates, amphetamines, LSD and any number of other drugs. Marijuana. thought by some teens to be harmless, is a major villain when it comes to driving safely. Marijuana causes sensory distortion. This means that a car only 10 feet away may appear to be 100 feet away. Your car will serve you well if you use it wisely. If you use it unwisely, you <.fail yourself and others who have entrusted their safety to you.
