Scriptural Passage To
Be On Postage Stamps
Acceding .to “many requests,” the Post
Office will include the words “in the
beginning God . . on the forthcoming
Apollo 8 stamp, which shows a view of the
earth as seen from moon orbit.
^ The reading from the Genesis account
of creation by the crew of Apollo 8 has
become closely associated with the flight
in the public mind, explains Postmastei
General Blount, and it seemed appropriate
that this phrase should appear on the
stamp that commemorates one of the
most significant and dramatic events of
P¥>
our time.
There should be no argument there,
although there undoubtedly will be
protests from the same people who are
upset by religious themes on Christmas
stamps.
Rather than argue over whether the
Apollo stamp represents one more crack in
the wall of separation of church and state,
however”, perhaps we ought to ask
ourselves whether the practice of public
piety does not carry the danger of
demeaning genuine religious feeling into
mere religiosity.
school that is causing its elders so much
concern in the matters of morals and
patriotism.
Instead of printing “Pray for Peace”
across our envelopes in the belief that we
have actually accomplished something, we
might better remember that ‘“God helps
those who help themselves” - in the
attainment of peace or anything else.
“In the beginning God . . .’’belongson
the Apollo stamp because the dramatic
reading across 240,000 miles of space was
part of the actual historical event.
But having put the words there, let us
not thereby delude ourselves that we have
rendered anything more than lip service in
the discharge of our duties to God and
country and our fellow men.

Awful Record
The official proclamation, engraving or
imprinting ofpioqs words and quotations
does not make -a nation great. Indeed,
there are historical examples to support
the contention that the farther a people
advance along the road to decay, the more
punctilious they are about the hollow
observance of religious ritualism.
♦ There is no invocation of deity in the
Constitution. America got along very well
for half a century with the original Pledge
of Allegiance before Congress ordered the
words “under God” inserted. Interestingly
enough, it is the first generation to grow
up repeating the phrase every day in

- topped all records in automobile
accidents in 1968, in both monetary and
human terms. -
The economic cost of automobile
accidents in the United States last year
soared to $14.2 billion, reports the
Insurance Information Institute. This was
14 per cent above 1967, the previous
record, and represented an economic loss
averaging $285 foj every family in the
country.
There were 55,500 traffic deaths in
1968, the most ever recorded for any year
and 4.5 per cent above the toll of 53,100
in 1967. The number of persons injured is
estimated at 4.5 million, another all-time
high and almost 15 per cent above the
1967 figure of 4.2 million.
Editor, The Sun
Deer Sir:
In this time of political crisis,
frequent pubic Incidents of
repudiation of God and Country,
disrespect shown to the
American Flag, an) the general
feeling one often gets that our
country is “craning apart at the
seams,” it is encouraging and
inspiring, indeed, to know that
some of our school children are
being taught the ideals on which
our great county was founded.
I would like to call the at-
tention of every individual to a
30-minute original drama staged
by a group of fourth graders at
Aahbel Smith School and urge
everyone to make a serious
effort to see the second per-
formance at 9 a.m. Thursday,
March 13, in the auditorium of
Aahbel Smith School. Because of
many requests, the play is being,
given a second timq, Special
credit should be given Miss
Drury, Miss Freeman and other
teachers who wrote the script
and directed the play with such
timely success.
Again, I urge everyone to see
this play, at no admission
charge. The inspiration you
receive from it will be worth the
efforts! a •
