From where I sitJoe Marsh
Guess It's Called
a Safety "Drive"
Whitey Fisher, from the State
Motor Vehicle Department,
dropped by to discuss some of our
local traffic problems.
“Up at Center Junction,” Whitey
says, “they’ve got a new sign that
really slows down the traffic go-
ing through town.”
“The sign says, ‘At 25 miles an
hour, you can drive through Cen-
ter Junction in 2/2 minutes!’ It
slows people down too—some just
take it easy to check on that 2 /2
minutes, I guess. Hasn’t even
been a dented fender since that
sign went up.”
From where I sit, it wasn’t
what the sign said, but the way
it was said. People are usually
pretty understanding if they un-
derstand what you mean. It’s the
same way with differences of
opinion. Perhaps your neighbor
prefers a temperate glass of beer,
and you would choose buttermilk.
What I’d like to see is for all of
us to “slow down,” talk it out,
and be respectful of our neigh-
bor’s rights.

“As it is written, He that glorieth,
let him glory in the Lord” (I Cor.
1:31). This is the Golden Text for
the Lesson-Sermon entitled “Reali-
ty” which will be read in all Chris-
tian Science churches this Sunday.
It will be pointed out that an
understanding of the spiritual na-
ture of reality brings enduring
health, harmony, and progress.
From the King James Version of
the Bible will be read the follow-
ing selection: “For all flesh is as
grass, and all the glory of man
as the flower of grass. The grass
withereth, and the flower thereof
falleth away: but the word of the
Lord endureth for ever. And this
is the word which by the gospel
is preached unto you.” (I Peter
1:24, 25).
