THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
DR. T. LAYTON FRASER . . .
TO PARIS AND ROME
The following ,is the first in a se
ries of articles writteh especially
for The Chronicle by Dr. T. Layton
Fraser, of the Department of Bible
at Presbyterian Colloce, on his tour
of Europe and the Holy Land.
It was not easy leaving my fa
mily for a period of seven weeks,
but my going to Europe and the
Middle East is for. a definite pur
pose It is something about which
1 have hoped prayed and dreamy
ed for many years. This purpase
is simple but of great importance.
It is to see for myself places made
scared by events pictured in the
Old and New Testaments, and ex
perience within myself the inspira
tion and understanding that came
from re-thinking these e\Ynts in
their proper setting. My purpose is
not only personal benefit, but also
the benefit of as many others as
possible. - M,
In order to preserve the memory
of my experience, and impart
them to others. 1 plan to take mov
ing pictures with as great care as,
passible Feeling that the oppor
tunity to fulfill my dream of a
trip to the Holy Land would come
suddenly, and with faith that this
opportunity was not far away,
about a year ago 1 bought a better
camera and some wash-n-wear
clothing Sure enough, this summer
it was made possible by Presbyte
rian College, the Owings Presbyte-
view Presbyterian Churches, my
Community Bible Class, the Bible
Class of the Calvary Baptist
Church, many fnends and rela
tives together with what the family
had saved toward the project. To
all of these 1 would like to express
m> deep appreciation It is noped
that all of these and others will
benefit from the top A very K<»d
projector and editor for the films
have been ordered, so that their
presentation may be interesting
and beneficial

Shannon. Ireland. "Where the
River Shannon Flows,” taking
about six and one-half hours to
cross the ocean. Then we would be
on ouh way to Paris. 3,620 miles
from New York.
This was my first flight any
where. Often 1 had dreamed of
spreadihg my arms and flying high
in the air. or flying about four
feet above the turf of a gridiron
with a football tucked under my
arm, straight for the goal, but
never did I think of flying across
land or sea in a plane except in
case of emergency. When this op
portunity came, however, it seem
ed definitely that the hand of the
l^ord was in it. so as the hour ap
proached for me to leave on this
trip to the land of our Savior’s
birth, life, sacrifices, resurrection
and ascension, 1 placed myself in
His-hands and. w ith about 107 other
persons, confidently boarded the
plane for a flight across the Atlan
tic that would have been impossible
to man only a few years ago.
As my baggage was weighed,
and I approached the plane. I re
ceived many glances of curiosity
and cheery smiles, because of the
equipment in my hands and strap
ped from my shoulders. Besides a
suitcase in my right hand and a
brief case in my left, there hung
from my shoulders cases contain
ing a camera, a tripod and binoc
ulars Tucked in somewhere was
also a raincoat, and fastened to
my brief case was a pith helmet.
One young lady in the group said
to me. "I did not know we were
supposed to wear hats like that.”
I answered, "We aren’t.” She add
ed, "But it does add character ”
Not knowing just what kind of
character she meant. I smiled and
let it go at that Later. I was told
by members of the group they
thought I was a big game hunter—
no wonder, with the hat and tripod,
which could easdjr have been a
gun I was hunting something very
important, but not big game

In'Rome we saw many impres
sive sights St. Peters Cathedral,
approached og two sides by the
Bernini Colonnade, arid faced by
twin fountains, was a beautiful
sight. In the center of all this
stands a tall obelisk that was
brought from Egypt by the Empe
ror Caligula, and placed in his cir
cus, prior to the persecution that
broke out in 64 A. D. This circus
was located where now stands the
Cathedral St. Peter, and the obelisk
stood beside it when the Cathedral
was first built. Later, the obelisk
was moved to its present locatiofi
in front of St. Peters. It is interest
ing to look at the shaft of stone and
realize that if it could talk, it could
tell us of the fortitude of the mar
tyrs as their blood was shed for
their faith *md loyalty to Christ, for
it was in that circus that many of
them were slain by wild beasts or
burned at the stake.
The great Coliseum was also the
scene of persecution. There I saw
a squalid prison behind iron bars
where Christians were probably
kept before being given to the
beasts. We were also shown one
of the gladiators’ dressing rooms
where slaves and others prepared
to fight and die for the amusement
of Nero and the populace or Rome.
It was an inspiration to drive
along the Appian Way, the road
along which the Apostle Paul walk-
e d toward Rome from Puteoli,
where he had landed as a prisoner.
One cannot help but appreciate his
Christian freedom when he thinks
of Paul as a prisoner and martyr
for Christ, and as he thinks of
those early Christians who had to
worship in the Catacombs, the un
derground cemeteries of the an
cients Down into the earth we went
to see this wierd sight—the Cat
acombs of San Calisto.
Rome is an interesting city-
beautiful with its fountains, gar
dens and churches; frightening
with its almost no traffic lights and
wild driving, magnificent with Ms
history and antiquity, inspiring and
heart-searching because of the su
preme sacrifice made by the early
Christian martyrs

Police Practice
What They Preach
By Jeanne Smith, Dodge Safety Consultant
LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS all over the country not only
advocate safe driving, but they practice what they preach.
At El Cerrito, Calif, (pop. 18,011), police drivers had a perfect
record last year, and won a high award in the National Police Fleet
safety con
test.
This was
the outcome
of the action
of Police
Chief How
ard A. Thulin
who, two
years ago,
became
alarmed at
the depart
ment's high
accident rate.
Most of the mishaps were
minor, but they were costing
the city a considerable sum of
money — not to mention the
embarrassment they w ere caus
ing.
Chief Thulin appointed a safe
ty committee to investigate each
accident. Inattention, more than
any other single factor, was a
principal villain, the investigation
revealed. Side streets and park
ing lots were the location of most
of the accidents; others occurred
when officers parked their squad
cars so that they were exposed
to rear-end collisions.
As soon as the drivers were
brought before the committee to
explain these accident.., Cmef
1'hulin says, the nu:.ib< r of mis
haps dropped considerably until

accidents at all.
Chief Thulin thinks there is
a lot for the public to lesm
from the safe driving practices
of his police force.
For example, none of his of
ficers drive at excessive speeds,
even when pursuing a speeder.
With modern police facilities,
chasing a speeding vehicle is no
longer necessary or sensible. In
ter-city fadio communication sys
tems are used to warn police_ in
the next town of an approaching
speeder, ‘and a road block then
can be set up to apprehend him.
“Many times the speeder is
traveling at sueh a high rate,”
says Chief Thulin, ’’that our of
ficers would not be able to keep
their cars under control if they
tried to keep the violator in sight.
“We’ve had cases where
speeders tear through town at
SO or !>G miles an hour and pile
up minutes later along the
highway. If we had tried to
keep up. our officers might
ha»e ended up the same way.”
Courtesy and defensive driving
are the keys to safe driving,
Chief Thulin believes. And he
emphasizes that motorists should
always be alert when they drive.
Good advice, coming from the
head of a police department that
has v i one of the top safety
