Since November 25, billboards saying %u201cstop the arm s race%u201d have dotted the avenues of all five boroughs. A total of 50 signs have been put up with eight of them decorating intersections in Brooklyn, including Fourth Avenue and St. Mark%u2019s Place and 29th Street and the Gowanus Expressway.%u201cThis is one small practical step toward building a peaceful world,%u201d says Mae Gautiers of the New York City Presbytery. This is the second peacemaking project of New York%u2019s 109 Presbyterian churches, who in the spring of 1983 placed ads inside 1,400 buses around Manhattan. To make these %u201cChristmas cards to New Yorkers,%u201d this year%u2019s collection raised $7,870.According to Gautiers, the idea is based on the biblical passage from the little-known book of Habakkuk, chapter two, verse two, which reads: %u201cWrite clearly on the tablets, that one may read it on the run.%u201d In this case, however, says Gautiers, %u201cPeople will have to read it from their cars.%u201dFirst Presbyterian ChurchServing The C om m unity for 164 Years .Sunday W orship and C hildren's Classes 11 a.m.Adult Forum 10amGuest preacher Douglas Grandgeorge(udith Parker Taylor, Organist and Choir Director and Executive Director of The Henry Street Pre-Sc hool 124 Henry St. (corn.
