1t has come to the Stars attention
that some of the country people who
own cars are afraid to come into
ocala after dark, for fear the police
will arrest them for some trifing

ror of the drivers. The only differ
ence the police make between city and
country people is that they expect
the former to be better posted than
the latter on traffic ordinances.

LICE stop cars from the country and
patiently explain to the drivers what
they should do or not do, when they
would have arrested city autoist fol

ling, keep to the right and keep with
