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.

“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.

“That white car. . .it must have
crossed the center stripe.”
Flashbulbs pop and a uniformed
photographer begins to put away
his camera. 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

to a local funeral home to prepare
for shipment to wherever the rela

The dispatcher has sent five
wreckers to the .scene. The driv

and they are drawing to see who
gets the jobs. Two cars; two jobs.
“I was in an embalming room at

Kind of empty, too. Just a table,

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.

Market Street! 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.

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.
