A check of the prison
population made on August
22 showed 589 inmates
serving time solely for
motor vehicle law viola
tions. In a total prison
population that will aver
age slightly less than 10,-
000, this means that one in
every 16 prisoners is a
traffic offender.
Your chances of ending
your trip behind bars is
vastly increased if you mix
alcohol with your travel.
Well over half of the im
prisoned motorists were
convicted of driving under
the influence —344 out of
the 589.
License violations ac
count for the second high
est number in prison. On
the day of the study there
were 131 people serving
sentences for such offenses
as no operator’s license,
driving after a license has
been revoked and improper
licenses.

equipment or insurance.
Neither youth nor ma
turity offer immunity
against imprisonment for
motor vehicle law viola
tions. Seven of the jailed
motorists were above the
age of 60. Thirty-seven
were below the age of 20.
The early 20’s are the
most popular ages for
prison-bound drivers. The
22 and 23-year-olds lead the
list with 28 inmates each,
and age 21 follows closely
with 27. No age between
17 and 50 has less than 10
imprisoned for driving of
fenses.
The average motorists,
according to Assistant Mo
tor Vehicles Commissioner
Joe Garrett, “just doesn’t
think he will be put in
prison for violating motor
vehicle laws. And he’s
wrong—as these records
show very clearly.”
Garrett believes the rea
son is that “Most citizens
don’t think of driving vio
lations as crimes. They
put motor vehicle laws in
a separate category from
other laws. A person who
would. never think of
drinking too much and
walking down Main Street
will drink too much and
drive his car down the
same street. People who
wouldn’t think of stealing
or trespassing or engaging
in a public brawl will
break motor vehicle laws
without a second thought.
“A shop-lifter knows he
or she is committing a
crime. They know they
run the risk of arrest and
imprisonment. And it
serves as a deterant. The
average driver, on the oth
er hand, doesn’t really feel
he’s doing anything wrong
when he speeds or eases
through a stop sign. And
when he gets caught, he
becomes indignant.”
Garrett concludes that
“The time has come for a
drastic change in average
on the part of the motor
ists. He has to be made
to realize that when he
drinks and drives, he's
committing a crime; that
when he goes one mile
over the speed limit, he’s
committing a crime. He
has to realize that he can,
and probably will, be ar
rested, and that he can go
to jail Such a change in
attitude could save a lot
of lives in North Carolina."

of the two candidates for

when I look at them I’m

can get elected.”

SUNDAY SCHOOL-LESSON
THE SOURCE OF OUR FAITH
International Sunday School Lesson for Oct 6
Memory Selection; “(God) hath in these last
days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath
appointed heir of all things, by whom also He
made the worlds.” —Hebrews 1:2.
Lesson Text: Hebrews 1-3.
With this lesson, we start a new series—spe
cifically, the study of writings of faith and en
couragement And H should be noted that our
aim for this quarter is centralized in an effort
to strengthen individual faith and provide en
couragement for members of the Christian fel
lowship to better prepare themselves for de
vout —and exacting—Christian discipleship.
In the lesson we are studying today, in the
Book of Hebrews, it is brought home to us very
clearly that the disciplined life is an essential
of redemption.
There are those among us who would argue
that events of the twentieth century makes the
Bible redundant. Certainly things today—our
whole way of life—cannot be compared with
events that took place in Biblical times. The
advent of the Atomic Age, the §pace Age, the
end of Colonialism—indeed, the end of an old
way of life—have all come about in the space
of (literally) a very few years, and a new order
has begun.
It is understandable if these events leave one
confused; but—in a world of changing events—
changing values—the unchangeable foundations
of our confessed faith are still the rock upon
which mankind builds his life, and the future.
The Epistle to the Hebrews presents the per
son of Jesus Christ as the fountainhead of our
faith. Surely, therefore, Jesus—Son of God—
is worthy of uncompromising loyalty and ser
vice, as Redeemer of the worlds
The central truths of this lesson are (1) that
Jesus is real; (2) that God is real.
Man—being man, and of limited knowledge—
can only have a blurred concept of God. Fort
unately for mankind, however, God revealed
himself in the person of Jesus, His Son, and
(in so doing) revealed His own nature, for man
kind’s understanding.
For nowhere has man ever found—or ever
will find—a more selfless love, a more all-en
compassing forgiveness—than in the life of Jesus
Christ. Through Him God spoke to His people—
and still so speaks, even today.
God is real! His reality —for mankind —is
Strengthened and affirmed in the kind of person
Jesus was—and still is.
Jesus once said: “To whom much is given, of
him much will be required." (Luke 12:24). How
can we doubt that? Jesus lived for us—He died
for us, making salvation possible for each and
every one of us. How, then, can we deny him?
How can we fail to fashion our lives to His
teachings, or fall to do our utmost to win others
to His side?

THE WORLD'S STRONGEST MAW

The day little Jimmie admired my muscles I was the strongest man in the
whole world. And so I remained until the next morning when I got into an argu- I—^
ment with that big kid in the next block. Then a humiliating retreat seemed
preferable to a bloody nose.
Life hasn’t changed much since I’ve grown up. Sometimes on Sunday lam ff/ \
so confident of my human might that I glibly pass up the spiritual resources // / \
my neighbors are finding in church. And by Monday I’m wondering where to II I I
turn for help in some insurmountable difficulty. 11l I
Experience is forever teaching me that my own self-confidence is mostly self- \ SUNDAY J
delusion. The men I admire seem absolutely honest about their own limitations, YV’v J
and absolutely certain about God’s strength. \sS^
One Sunday as I sat in a pew and watched others receiving Communion this —l —i
thought struck me: Among those who kneel reverently before an altar today it |
undoubtedly the world’s strongest man. ( —x
