♦ ARE YOU A KILLER?
I
No less an authority thah the president of the In-
ternational Association of Chiefs of Police tells us
that the modem officer views every traffic violator as
a potential killer.
To some this may seem a rather macabre point of
view for the genial cop on the comer. We think, how-
ever, that it is fortunate for us all that police forces
are being trained to take a realistic and stem attitude
toward traffic violations—especially with this coun-
try’s tragic record of increasing deaths on our streets
and highways. When the lives of 33,500 men. women
and children are snuffed out in one year because of
reckless driving and violation of traffic regulations,
then it isiime for someone to get tough.
Progressive police training throughout the nation
Ls demonstrating its value. Modem traffic squads are
no longer given pep talks and then sent out “just to
keep an eye on things in general.” They are briefed
as to what intersections are accident prone, what viola-
tions are causing the accidents and during what hours.
They know what to look for and they should be ap-
plauded rather than hampered when they deal sternly
with the violators.
That such selective enforcement is effective has
been proved. The communities which have adopted it
are to be commended. To those which have not done
so, we recommend such an enforcement program and
suggest that the people in the communities do the
same, for their own good.
I)o not erroneously believe that the traffic police-
man enjoys writing you a ticket for a violation. He
would rather do it, how _*ver, than pick you-np in a
basket after an accident pf your own or some other
violator’s making.
If you violate a traffic regulation, consider that a
violation identic al to yours has killed several per-
sons—perhaps at the same place, perhaps even on the
same day. That you did not cause an accident fa not
important. That you might have caused one is. Appre-
hending * ou fa the traffic officer’s job. He fa not only
protecting you from your own folly, but lessening
your exposure to dangerous driving habits of others.
He deserves your highesf’respect and fullest co-
operation.

EDUCATING WOMEN TO BE NURSES
With the aim of educating more women for the
nursing profession to help relieve the present short-
age of graduate njrses, the five Baptist hospitals in
Texas are this month launching an intensive student
nurse recruitment program preliminary to the open-
ing of new freshmen classes in their schools of nurs-
ing in September.
Personal appeals will be issued to young women
aged 17 to 35 through Baptist churches and Sunday
schools over the state, to interest them in preparing
for the nursing profession. Speakers will outline to
the girls the advantages nursing offers of a well-paid
livelihood, position of community prestige and an
opportunity to aid suffering humanity, officials stated.
“The demand for nurses far exceeds the supply”
Andrew Q. Allen, volunteer director for the nurse re-
cruitment campaign, stated. ’‘Unless more young
women answer the call and enter nursing, the people
of this country will suffer for lack of adequate care
m lime of sickness. -The shortage in civilian hospitals
has been acute since the beginning of war and has
-Mi been relieved since Wirt end because of the great
number of nurses now required in veterans’ hospitals.”
The varied fields open to graduate nurses today
include hospitals, doctors’ offices, industry, public
health agencies, government service, nursing school
''acuities and foreign missionary work. All are in
tore nurses.

we are
responsible not only for the
way we earn our living, but for the
way we spend what we earn.
Of course we must earn our living
honeatly, but U we spend foolishly
that which we have eamad. we
shall hava dissipated much of the
egect of our example in earning.
Possessions are a treat from
Oed, and see shall bava ts render
an account af aor stewardship.
Just t-c-ua.- we have given a
certain parcentaga of our incom# to
Christian causes Is no ressoo to
think we shall meet with divine
...(probation with regard to our
stewardship. If wa glva a tithe,
well and good, but what about the
other nine-tenths? Is God pleased
with our stewardship there?
L The Vanity af Wealth (Eccles.
6:10, 11).
IN ANY study of waalth. It seems
* necessary to begin with an un-
derstanding of Its limitations. Wa
live in a world hi whloh men fret
quently lay great Importance on
poentssiona, and indeed, there are
many things which wealth can pur-
ch*se. On tha other hand, there are
some things that money cannot
buy. And further, we should recog-
nize that our possessions are not
eternal, that they may suddenly
fade away.
The yeses go here reminds ns Jt
the tact that wealth for wealth’s
sake Is baud to be Jt disappoint-
ment. The man who loves silver
shall net be satisfied with silver,
any mere than the maa who levee
pleoenre shall be satisfied with
pleaeare. Augustine was right
when ha said that man caul* he
satisfied with os less than Oed
Nbttce bow accurately the picture
la drawn. If we have Increased
wealth, wa hava increased responsi-
bility (v. 11). That fact Is at un-
alterable aa tha most rigid law we
know. The only advantage ls, as the
Preacher expresses It, the be hold-
ing of goods with tbs eye—not a
very great advantaga after alL

I IBERALITY should character-

withhold more than is meet also
tends to want.
