Wlint To Do
In Bis; Cities
By Marlliii Johnson
Doil};*' Safety Consultant
NEW YORK —City driving
can be fun.
If you are not used to driving
in congested city traffic and are
contemplating another a trip to during New
York or big city
your summer vacation, these
bints should be welcome.
Stephen 1’. Kennedy, police
commissioner of New York, one
of the most traffic-congested
cities in the world witli more
than two million ears using its
crowded streets daily, feels eity
driving requires greater intelli¬
gence and perception than uny
other ty pe.
Commissioner Kennedy, whose
traffic division is manned by
2.284 safety specialists, offers
these three broad ruies for city
driving:
KNOW YOUR REGULA¬
TIONS. since 90 per cent of all
accidents involve a breach of
regulation. In New York, the
speed limit is 25 miles per hour,
considered ideal for car and
driver control in heavy vehicle
and pedestrian traffic.
• Obey all traffic laws, includ¬
ing the speed limit.
• Check your car for safety at
regular intervals.
• Follow at a safe distance,
• Slow down and signal be¬
fore turning or stopping.
• Slow down at intersections.
CHECK YOUR ATTITUDE
AND BEHAVIOR and follow
the three C’s of safe driving—
Care, Courtesy and Common
Sense.
• Don’t drink and drive.
• Don’t “fight” for the right
of way.
• Don’t weave in traffic.
• Don’t “jump” traffic lights.
• Don't make sudden stops.
LEARN DEFENSIVE
DRIVING to develop percep¬
tion and quick reaction.

The present pastor, the

the baptismal services. A
of Alabama, he took over the
pastorate two years ago
freely admits he had
misgivings and “some overcom¬

“I have grown a let,” ho

Onlv Few Corral? ! nts
Integration has brought, only
a few complaints f v cm church
members, and a few outsiders.
Said the Rev. Carden:
“We learned that racial dif¬
ferences are imagined, rather
than real. We have no prob¬
lems.”
The South Park Baptist,
church, when it learned of the
integrated Brooks church, sent
a delegation, headed by its
pastor, the Eev. Alton McEach-
ern, to observe the integrated
services. As a result, South Park
has voted to accept Negroes.
To any church that may be
hesitating about admitting Ne¬
gro members, Rev. Carden had
this to say:
“Fears of internal diissention
are groundless. I believe there
are enough people in any
church who would favor inte¬
gration, and enough others who
would go along with it, that
problem would be minor.’’
