When the traffic light fails at
a busy intersection, one sees
vehicles lihed up in all direc-
tions. Cars inch forward, no
driver sure of what the others
are going to do. There are near
collisions. Brakes screech. Af-
ter watching something like
this, or being In the midst of
this kind of a traffic jam, we
complain less about traffic
lights.
Freedom in everyday life
means adjustment and har-
mony with rational laws and
regulations. It is quite true in
our relationship with God. Liv-
ing apart from Him may give
the illusion of liberty, but such
ihdependence really curtails
our freedom and self-fulfill-
ment. To come to the best in
life, we need the direction and
guidance that God gives us
through Christ.
We have the greatest liberty

TOURING
EAST TEXAS
By BOB BOWMAN
If you’re hankering for some
of the workman’s grub that
keeps East Texas’ lumberjacks
going, you can find it daily at
the old-fashioned Camden Ho-
tel at Camden, in Polk County.
Here, in a spotless dining
room, sawmillers fatten them-
selves on country food spread
t; long family tables. And,
when they’re finished, they are
likely to head for the domino
parlor or sit a spell on the long
breezy front porch.
Hotel manager Mrs. R. L.
Watts, better known to the saw-
millers as “Jack,” serves any-
where from 30 to 50 customers
a day.
And there always is room lor
another or two.

28: Oakridge Handicap Open
Golf Tournament, Lufkin.
July 1-4: Annual championship

PRAYER: Father, forgive us
rebelling against Thee. Teach
us that harmony in our spiri-

May we walk with Thee today.

Safety Group Asks
For Safe Driving
During Holiday
The head of the Texas Safe-
ty Association issued an ap-
peal today to Texas drivers 1o
drive with cgqtlqn during the
July 4 holiday weekend.
Quincy V. Tuma of Houston,
president of TSA, also called
on citizens of the state to in-
clude safety precautions In all
recreational activities.
"Texas drivers should drive
with skill, using caution at all
times in the holiday traffic
which is expected to be espe-
cially heavy this weekend,”
Tuma said.
He also urged drivers to be
courteous—“yield to other dri-
vers when it’s necessary for
safety, even if you have the
right-of-way.”
“Caution and courtesy will
take you n long way in traffic.”
In warning citizens of the
hazards in recreational activi-
ties, the Association President
pointed out that over 300 per-
sons drown each year in Texas.
“Parents should keep an eye
on children at all times around
water tanks, creeks, lakes and
even in backyard swimming
pools,” he said.
Tuma recommends that all
boatmen carry U. S. Coast
Guard approved life preservers
in their boats for each person
aboard. He also warned water
skiers to use life preservers and
to know how to swim before
getting on skis.
Tuma, Chief Safety Engineer
for Texaco Inc., emphasized
that all accidents do not happen
away from home.
“Be Just as careful in cele-
brating at home as in public
places. Remember, home acci-
dents such as falls and fires are
the leading non-vahicle cause
of death in Texas. Some 1,400
persons lose their lives in home
accidehts each yeur,” he con-
cluded.
