the basic couriesies of driving T
to children when they are still in the bike stage. It has been shown that the courtesy and road training In childhood makes for better drivers in the adult years.

Mr. Manning also explained that a financial report of the crusade will be made availa- ble to the purbllc through the press and local churches after the crusade books are closed "We believe this is an invest- ment in a crusade which will be spiritually uplifting to the whole community. and we hope the financing will be complete ly understood by all.”
