fortunes and our sacred honor We must not forget that in declaring independence from all earthly powers, we also made a concise declaration of dependence upon God. It is important that we renew'this declaration in national life today America still needs God Perhaps the aggregate influence of communism, socialism, capitalism and humanism has made us believe that human effort, united around a common goal, can accomplish anything. But we must not forget the haunting lesson of the Titanic. We never outgrow our need for, or our dependence upon, Almighty God We are not “unsinkable.' I believe m America I believe our nation has become great because of faith in God 1 am grateful for our glorious past and our challenging future I am not ashamed to cover my heart with

my hand in the Pledge of Allegiance to our great flag. I am not embarrassed to sing our national anthem as Old Glory waves proudly in the wind. I believe in America, one nation, under God. May we carefully heed these words of wisdom from God’s Word. "For the Lord you God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills ... a land where you shall eat food without scarcity Beware lest you forget the Lord your God when you have eaten and are satisfied . . . Otherwise, you may say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth' "(Deut. 8).

Quayle Reports From The Senate

Outraged by the verdict of not guilty by reason Os insanity in the John Hinckley trial. US Senator Dan Quayle has proposed a change in the law that would allow for a “guilty but insane” verdict in such cases. Patterned after a new Indiana statute. Sen. Quayle said his bill would take into account the actual guilt of a person, while maintaining protection for the mentally disturbed. It will also transfer the burden of proof of insanity to the defense. Following the "not guilty by reason of insanity" verdict in the Hinckley trial this week. Sen, Quayle said he had no "illfeelings toward the jury, as they were simply doing what Federal law says they should (to.” However, Quayle said the judicial system failed to adequately serve the public interest “There is no doubt about it.” Quayle said. “Mr. Hinckley is English not the driving force The American Civil Liberties Union has challenged a Washington State law requiring all drivers' license applicants to speak English The ACLU claims that's unconstitutional, since it violates immigrants* rights to travel, and discriminatory, since anyone with an international drivers' license can drive around for a year without having to speak English The Washington legislature adopted the English-only requirement after a state license /examiner complained she wa« / tired of “almost being killed” by applicants who can't read road signs or understand her verbal instructions Peer educators make an important difference in their schools, communities and states by preparing teens to be the heads of healthy families.

guilty. Under Indiana law, he could have been found guilty as well as insane. This is how 1 believe the Federal law should work.” Under the Quayle proposal, if a person is found guilty but mentally ill the court would sentence the defendant in the same way any other defendant would be sentenced except that person might be confined to a mental facility for treatment, instead of a prison. The Hoosier Senator said, “I am not alone in my concern about the outcome of the Hinckley case. The question put to me by my constituents is: "what happened?” He went on to say. “The people do not find fault with the judge or the jury. They find fault with us, the Congress, for not having effectively dealt with criminal reform of the specific criminal defense of insanity.” Quayle said there are a lot of victims scattered throughout John Hinckley’s path, "but one more victim, the US Congress, can be avoided if we have the sense to act. ”

Very few motorcycle accidents happen from the rear. Nearly two-thirds of them occur right in front of the rider. And, another 32 percent of the accidents involve the rider being hit from the side. Only seven, percent of the accidents studied involved a rider being hit from behind. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation warns that strong gusty winds can be a hazard for motorcyclists. A rider can actually be moved across a whole lane of traffic if not prepared to handle the sudden wind. Motorists should be aware of this fact when they are crossing stretches of exposed roadway along with motorcyclists. » * * Improved license testing for motorcyclists can mean a 15 to 21 percent reduction in accidents for riders, according to a study of more than 40,000 California motorcyclists.
