THE
Driver's Seat
Ninety-thousand “mental defec-
tives” of driving age live in Cali-
fornia. That figure is cited by Dr.
Irma West of the Calfornia State
Department of Public Health.
There's nothing to prevent many
of them from getting driver’s li-
censes. The same is true in other
states.
The problem becomes serious
when you consider the number of
people who are not mentally ill
by legal standards, but who have
conflicts and attitudes which make
them dangerous drivers. These are
the people whose emotions explode
in traffic like gunpowder thrown
on a fire.
You know the type. Anybody in
front of him “thinks he owns the
road.” Our driver resents it, so
he shows the front-running driver
who’s boss, by bullying his way
to the head of the pack.
Or, he appoints himself protec-
tor of public safety, deliberately
driving slowly at the head of a
line of traffic in order to make
certain that everybody observes
the speed limit.
Then there’s the driver who
noses his car against the rear
bumper of the car he’s following.
His rationalization: “Slow drivers
cause the most accidents, so I’m
encouraging him to drive faster.”
Some drivers have convinced
themselves that it takes 15 min-
utes to drive from home to office
and, come hail or high water, it
is NOT going to take them longer.
Many accidents are not entirely
accidental—they are unconscious
expressions of resentment. Dr.
Karl Menninger and Dr. Flanders
Dunbar accumulated much scien-
tific evidence which revealed that
a high percentage of drivers asso-
ciate feelings of guilt or resent-
ment with their accidents. They
interviewed drivers shortly after
their accidents.
“Doubtless the best solution to
the problem of the insane driver,”
as James Parlee of the Chicago
Municipal Court calls the emo-
tionally deficient driver, ‘ is to
prevent him from driving a car
in the first place.”
• Parlee suggests that driver’s li-
censes be withheld until an appli-
cant presents a certificate from a
physician stating that he is sound
of mind and body.-This is one way
to keep mental misfits off the
highways.

Game calling is one of the most
thrilling of all hunting sports.
Probably the most fascinating
time to call nature’s killers is at
night. Foxes, coyotes and bob-
cats have a way of comin-a’-run-
nin’ in the darkness that makes
the sport one of fast action and
excitement.
Although predators can be call-
ed throughout the day and night,
they are more susceptive after
nightfall since, by nature, they
are nocturnal prowlers and are
out under the protection of dark-
ness to seek food. The dying-rab-
bit squeals of a predator call lures
them into believing that a quick
and' easy meal beckons at the
source of the squalling. When a
predator decides to answer the
call, he comes quickly, and he
means business.
Anyone can learn to call preda-
tors with a minimum of practice
at home. Commercial calls avail-
able at any sporting goods store
put the sport within the realm of
anyone’s ability.
Basically, there are two types of
predator calls. One simulates the
cries of a rabbit in distress; the
Other imitates the shrilling cry of
a crippled bird.
On most predators the former
works best. But sometimes the
latter is more effective. The
wounded-bird call is more appeal-
ing to raccoons.
Coons are perhaps the easiest
of all animals to call right in
close. They waddle in and offer
a large target to the rifleman or
bowman.
Foxes and coyotes rush right in
quickly, but they move around a
lot and sometimes are difficut to
hit.
A bobcat slinks in, using every
bit of available cover to hide its
stalk. Cover and natural camou-
flage make it difficult to pinpoint
an incoming cat in sunlight. But
at night the cat’s eyes readily glow
in the beam of a headlight.
IT’S THE LAW

DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE EXPRESSES
BASIC BELIEF
What do we mean when we say
that in the United States we have
a “government of law” and not a
“government of men”? Basically
we mean that we have certain in-
dividual rights, guaranteed by our
federal and state constitutions and
laws, which may not be denied
by any governing body.
The early American colonists had
their fill of government by men,
and the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, signed 188 years ago, set
out their complaints against that
type of government and revealed
their belief in a principle which
we now accept as basic to our
American way of life.
The indictments set out in the
document against King George III
of Great Britain charged him with
numerous violations of that prin-
ciple. Among the complaints
enumerated are the following.
“He has dissolved Representa-
tive Houses repeatedly, for oppos-
ing with manly firmness his in-
vasions on the rights of the peo-
ple.
“He has obstructed the admin-
istration of justice, by refusing his
j assent for laws for establishing
■judiciary powers.”
j “He has made judges depen-
dent upon his will alone, for the
! tenure of their offices, and the
amount and payment of their sal-
aries.”
j “He has refused his assent to
■ laws, the most wholesome and
necessary for the public good.”
.“He has combined with others to
subject us to a jurisdiction for-
eign to our constitution, and un-
acknowledged by our laws: giv-
ing his assent to their acts of pre-
tended legislation: . . .For depriv-
ing us, in many cases, of the bene-
fits of trial by jury; For trans-
porting us beyond seas to be tried
for pretended offences; . . . For
taking away our charters, abolish-
ing our most valuable laws, and
altering fundamentally the, forms
of our governments; ... For sus-
pending our own legislatures, and
declaring themselves invested with
power to legislate for us in all
cases whatsoever.”
Our forefathers who subscribed
to the principles of the Declaration
of Independence were willing to
fight for their beliefs. The Revo-
lutionary War followed, dragging
through weary years of suffering
and suspense. Each of us takes
pride in their eventual triumph
over gigantic obstacles.
In 1787, when the farmers of our
Constitution met at Independence
Hall in Philadelphia, where the
Declaration of Independence had
been signed 11 years previously,
they set to work to create a sys-
tem of checks and balances in
government which was to perpe-
tuate the fundamental theory men-
tioned in the preamble of the earl-
ier document:
“We hold these truths to be self-
evident; That all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain un-
alienable rights; that among these
are life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness.
“That to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among
men, deriving their just powers
from the conset of the govern-
ed; .. . ”
Some five years later, the first
ten amendments to our Constitu-
tion were adopted at one time, spe-
cifically detailed various basic
civil rights stemming from the
underlying theory of the Declara-
tion of Independence.
Our courts day by day guard
these rights for us.

If you’re a conscientious collec-
tor of new recipes you think your
family will enjoy, chances are you
add a new category to your reci-
pe file now and then.
We have a suggestion for a new
category labeled “quick and easy
salads and desserts” and a few
good file-starters for this time of
the year.
FROSTED GRAPES
Beat one egg white until frothy.
Dip small bunches of Tokal grapes
into egg white. Shake off excess
of egg and dip grapes into granu-
lated sugar. Chill in gas refrigera-
tor until ready to serve. Sprinkle
over your favorite fruit salad mix-
ture.
FRUIT SALAD PLATE
Chill serving plates. On each
plate, arrange two pear halves
(canned or fresh) cut side up on
crisp lettuce leaves. Place a
cheesenut ball in hollow of each
pear half. Arrange orange or
grapefruit sections and frosted
grapes on plate. Garnish with wa-
tercress. Serve with favorite fruit
dressing.

BOND
QUIZ
IPS UMAZP
Question: I own a number of
Series E bonds bought during the
40’s and 50’s. Would it be to my
advantage to cash them and put
the money into the current issue
E bonds which pay 3 3/4 per cent
interest?
Answer: No; for more than one
reason. First, no Series E bond
now outstanding, regardless of is-
sue date, is earning less than 3 3/4
per cent from now until next ma-
turity. And this is based on its
present value. Second, if you cash-
ed in your older bonds, you would
be obliged to report the gain in
value for income tax purposes
during the current year, thus re-
ducing the amount available for
reinvestment in newer bonds.

sliced pineapple leaving slices in ’
can. Replace juice with either
lime or strawberry flavored gela-
tin prepared according t6 package
directions but made with one half
the amount of water called for.
Chill in gas refrigerator until
firm. Loosen sides and bottom by
running a little hot water over
them. Cut bottom from can and
use it to push the mold out onto
dish. Slice between pineapple and
serve as salad with mayonnaise
dressing or as dessert with whip-
ped cream.
ORANGE SPARKLE SALAD
Peel four oranges. Cut two of
them in chunks and two in slices.
Line sherbet glasses with three or
four orange slices each. Place or-
ange chunks on top of each. Add
1/4 cup ginger ale to each and

COMMUNICABILITY
In war as in probably no other
human experience the sudden tran-
sformation from the living to the
dead raises the question: “What
is death?” When this question was
presented to a French general in
World War I, he replied: “Death?
Death is sudden incommunicabil-
ity.”
“Sudden incommunicability.”
This is an illuminating descrip-
tion of life’s most baffling reality.
All around us are those with whom
we have been in some form of
communication, and suddenly we
are out of touch because of death.
It is this silence, this out-of-touch-
ness, which is the burden of our
grief. We cannot help asking:
“Will we ever be in touch again?
And if so, how and where?”
But this description is a haunt-
ing and memorable one not only
because it defines death but be-
cause it defines life. If death is
sudden incommunicability, then
life must be communicability. To
be alive is to be in communica-
tion—to be in some kind of respon-
sive relationship with the world
around us, with people, with God.
The more varied and vital are our
lines of communication the more
alive we are.
How many interesting applica-
tions we can see as we ponder
this insight! It clarifies what we
are trying to do for our children
1 in their secular and religious train-
ing. We are helping them to be
, able to receive communication
from the world, from books and
laboratories, from people, from the
Bible and the Church. In turn, we
are helping them to communicate
their own needs and aspirations,
their own insights and delights,
their own unique response to life.
PITCHING?
Let doctor’s formula stop it.

Quick relief, or your money back!
To be alive is to be able to lis-
ten and to understand, even when
we do not agree. How much this
has to say to us in a time of
social tension and change! To be
alive is to communicate not only
by word but by deed and by love.
How far we still have to go to
reach such aliveness!
