THE BATTALION Friday, December 16, I960 College Station, Texas Page 3 What Would YOU Think About? ■■ -—■ A Pictorial Description of Ignorance ... quick route to oblivion By RONNIE BOOKMAN Flames reach into the darkness. So do headlights and a red ro tating dome light. A veteren ac cident investigator watches the blazing vehicles and tries not to remember the five broken bodies lying in a neat row behind him. What does a man to whom trag edy is in a' day’s work think about at a time like that? He has the routine things. Get the cars out of the way. Fill out reports. Make an invistigation as to the cause and blame of the col lision. Make sure that survivors, if any, get first-aid. Lots of things. Yet, at the same time, he can’t take the weight of those five hu man beings off his soul. “Am I to blame?” he asks. He knows though, that people are the most unpredictable ani mals on the face of the earth.

Insist on strict enforcement of all traffic laws in your community. Traffic regulations work for you, not against you. Wherever traffic laws are strictly enforced, deaths go DOWN! SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SAFETY ORGANIZATION Published in an effort to save lives The Battalion f§ In cooperation with The Advertising Council The National Safety Council © “I’ll be home about 10:30, dear.” These were the words of John Milas, 26-year-old highway patrol man as he left his home that night. It had been a hard day, with more to come. With the Christmas rush on, every available man had to do double-duty and John was no exception. He had only been a patrolman for two months now, and he was intensely proud of his job. “A two-year-old boy with an other on the way, a wonderful wife, a good job . . . what else could a man ask?” he thought. Thirty miles away, a ’48 model black sedan sped over the ground at 75 miles an hour. After all, the people in it were in a hurry. They were college students who had a "long way to go that night and after 5 months of studying, they thought they deserved a vaca tion. “C’mon, Joe, step on it,” one of them said. After the two six-packs of beer they had guzzled, the speed ometer seemed to fade away. The driver had never been in an acci dent, so why start worrying now? All of a sudden, an old beaten-up truck loomed ahead. The car skidded and swerved . .. and missed the truck. “Hurry up, Joe, we’ll never get home at this rate.” The car creaked with the extra speed. Now only ten miles away, John Milas, highway patrolman, finished his coffee and went out to his patrol car. The harsh voice of the radio greeted him; “Car seven, go to Highway 6 and Mill Road. Code eight.” That meant speeding and care less driving, thought John. At the corner of Mill and High way 6, he stopped. Nothing in sight. No, there they came from the south . . . about 80 miles an hour, he guessed. Jamming his car into low and flipping on the siren and blinker with one smooth movement, Pa trolman Milas began the pursuit. These guys were either crazy or drunk. After about three miles, the road detoured through a plowed field, John knew. The car was losing the race; John would be close enough to see the license plate. “May I speak to Mrs. Milas, please?” Mrs. Milas,. I don’t know how to say this, but your husband was killed a few minutes ago. I’m sorry it happened. He was after a car which stopped suddenly. Yes, he died instantly.” Downtown the streets were full of shoppers. “Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,” everyone was saying. If You Have These Traits, You May Be Accident-Prone By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES—Are you accident-prone driver ? Dr. Donald Schuster, psychol ogist at the University of South ern California, says a chronic vio lator has these characteristics: He is physically and psycholog ically active. hie “drives” himself to get | ahead. Despite aggressiveness, he prob-1 ably relies on others, ik He is unwilling to conform cul-1 turally. He lacks aesthetic appreciation. He is willing to take chances.

He notices that if he keeps up his present pace he is going to run out of film. “Why did that man swerve into the other lane?” The ambulance attendants are loading up their passengers now. These passengers will go to a hos pital for a quick once-over. Then to a local funeral home to prepare for shipment to wherever the rela tives want. “He must’ve fallen asleep. That truck driver over there said that j the man was bragging at a res taurant earlier that he had been driving for 17 straight hours. Had to get home quick, the man said.” The dispatcher has sent five wreckers to the .scene. The driv ers have all put cards into a hat and they are drawing to see who gets the jobs. Two cars; two jobs. “I was in an embalming room at one time. Everything is so white. Kind of empty, too. Just a table, a big jar on a stand and some cab inets.” The fire is out now. The cars are smoking a little bit, but the wrecker drivers are ready to haul them in. Chains are attached and wenches whine. Metal grates against metal and glass and bits of chrome fall to the road. Not much noise compared to what was before. “This other fellow. . . the one with the three kids in the green car. . . looks like he tried to get out of the other one’s way. Didn’t quite make it.

Just a handful of shopping days before Christmas! The best-organized parade of the year! Every marcher has been summoned by adver tisements . . . elated by the music and decorations . . . inspired by the joy of giving. Each has a destination, an objective, a mission. And there’s a kind of desperate dedication in it all: everyone searching for something someone else needs! But never confuse the December parade with the real dedication of Christmas. What every soul needs is not displayed in win dows. And Christmas means nothing unless it means: ALL WE REALLY NEED ... GOD HAS GIVEN! In the church of your choice, dedicate your life anew to the Christ Child. Copyright 1960, Keiiter AJv, Service, Slraibvrg, Va. THE CHURCH FOR ALL . .. ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church it the greatest (actor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It ia a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (I) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake; (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For die sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.
