Numerous suggestions have been proposed to help educate litterbugs. One of the most forceful thus far has been the recommendation by a county engineer that all offenders be required to serve in litter squads, on roadside cleaning duty. It took a Wisconsin farmer, however, to really teach a litterbugging motorist a lesson he won't soon forget. Discovering a heap of refuse dumped on the road near his home, the farmer uncovered an envelope with an address on it. Filling a box with the garbage, he wrapped it up, marked it "perishable," and mailed it back to the man whose address was on the envelope! educaLitter prevention is a long-tertional job, and the only way we can hope to do that job well and permanently is to start in the classrooms, where the habits of tomorrow's adult citizens are being developed. Children are easily influenced, and they are excellent crusaders when their interest is sufficiently aroused. Distribution of litter bags is probably the most effective educational device yet found to control the present situation. Such bags are distributed by automobile associations, service stations, parks, and merchants. Motorists may carry these bags in their cars, collect litter in them, then drop the bags into disposal units along the way. Many states are developing anti-littlegislation with stiff penalties for conviction. BY - New York spends $15 million a year" - after its fitterbugs. ' cleaning FERGUSON A There is an amazing difference of opinion today as to what constitutes a real Christian. One man regards himself as a good Christian because he applies the Golden Rule to everyday living. Another professes to be a follower of Christ even though he believes only part of the Savior's teaching. And some who call themselves Christian even go so far as to reject His divinity. Too many people, unfortunately, are setting up their own standards of Christian character and Christian living . . . forgetting that Christ Himself set these standards for us. Hie result is that many sincere people are confused,. . . and are deceiving themselves with a minikind of Christian " mum, or "so-so- living. The Catholic Church teaches that the mere belief in Christ is not enough. For if it were, why did Christ take the trouble to show us by precept and example how we should live? Nor can we regard His teachings as just a social doctrine . . . subject to our individual amendments . . . when He made it so plain that our very salvation depends on living as He pre- CHRIST Climtian? Perhaps you may feel that the ideals voiced by the Savior nearly 2,000 years ago cannot be applied in our modern times. And possibly you will not understand the practical meanihg of Christ's references to "the meek," or "the poor in spirit," or "they who hunger and thirst for justice."
