Says- the Christian Science Moni
tor, ‘‘When his automobile hit two
pedestrians in the early morning
hours of Sunday, a driver told police
he had taken four drinks in the pre

Those four drinks re.sulted in tw'O

neither of the cori>se3 wasT that of the
man who drank the whiskey and then
hopped in his car to drive away, un
concerned about what had~happened.
Here is ths country’s most serious
problem today — drunken drivers on
the highways which mean ever-
mounting fatalities. In spite of all
the writing and preaching thqt is be

deavoring to educate the public to be

grows greater, human life becomes
