“Church Zone.
“Drive Slow.
“Don’t Blow Your Horn.”
The foregoing is the legend inscribed on four standards that will be placed at the four points of the compass about Cann Memorial Presbyterian church Sunday morning during the Sunday school session and the hour of morning worship.
The carelessness of motorists in passing places of worship on Sunday during the hour of worship has come in for general observation and censure, but Cann Memorial Presbyterian Church, of which Rev. Frank Scattergood is pastor, is the first to attempt to do anything about the evil in the way of effective prevention, so far as has been indicated by reports reaching this newspaper.
Other churches in the city are expected to follow the lead of Cann Memorial in this matter, unless, indeed, the city itself should provide some such standards for all the churches.
In this connection it is point out that country churches on paved highway and setting back only a short distance from the road are even greater sufferers from the noise of careless Sunday motorists than the city churches.
