Free Wheeling BY BILL CROWE LL The perfect driver has yet to be born. Probably he'll have to be invented. The next time a friend boasts he's all but a perfect behind the wheel, after check ing to see if he's flesh and bone try these qualifications on him. The perfect driver stays within the speed limits, both posted and according to road and weather conditions. He signals all turns and stops. He stays in his lane, never crosses tne yellow line, never passes another car without a clear distance ahead. He never drinks even a beer before getting behind the steer ing wheel. If he feels tired he'll pull over and rest for awhile. His car is in top mechani cal shape. He stops at railroad cross ings and carefully looks both ways if the crossing is un protected by flashing lights. If it is protected/ ne slows down and immediately stops if the lights are flashing. He watches for children in school and residential areas. H e gives the pedestrian the right of way. He never runs a stop sign and slows down for all curves and obeys all traffic signs everywhere. At nipn he'll never over drive his headlights. He's care ful to see his bright lights don't blind the driver in from as well as the on coming mo torist. He's patient and understand ing of others. Never loses his temper while driving no matter what the provacation. He gives all his attention to driving, never being distracted by objects along tne way or by day dreaming. If your friend can pass these qualifications every day he's on the road, you'a better get out an oil can. He's not human?he's been invented! r 1 Gray -Blanchard Wedding Solemnized Miss Vivian Estelle Blan chard and Eric Raynold Gray were married October 12, at Calvary Baptist Church, The Rev. Aster L.

Health For All Hidden Tragedies We live In a child-centered culture--so the oft-heard story roes. And yet, a discussion in the Journal of the American Medical Association points out physical abuse of children by their parents is on the increase. The "bartered child syn drome," in fact, is estimated to be one of the most fre quent causes of child death. Only a small percentage of such tragedies a*p officially reported in their true guise. No matter how plain the medi cal evidence, the facts are ex tremely difficult to establish 100 per cent in a court of law. Psychologically, parental cruelty is a fact of life diffi cult for most of us to face. Yet those who do face it grow increasingly aware that abusive parents aren't criminals in the ordinary sense. They are basic ally disturbed, in need of pro tection against themselves. What makes-them beat their children? Psychiatrists have found that patterns of child rearing are passed from one generation to another. Many abusive parents find themselves willy nilly repeating the treat ment they received. Psycholo gically, they are still angry children. When life is too diffi cult, they often can't help act ing like angry children. They break their dolls. The majority of abusive par ents don't suffer from "hope less" mental disorders. Nor do social or economic status race or religion appear to be important factors. Abusive pa rents are generally found to be immature, unable to cope with adult reality. But In general. 1 they can be nelped. Psychological counseling in fact seems to offer the most hopeful pathway to correction of this tragic situation, most authorities agree. More hope ful. at any rate, than yielding to attitudes of revulsion, dis belief, or irrelevant wrath. CP&L Organizes Public Relations Dent.
