 The job of the new committee is to make it known that despite the accounts of murders, suicides, hold ups and scandals that have been featured in the news, New York is just as safe as any Gopher Prairie with better water, milk and police protection to boot. ..".. ...:%
 New York is particularly anxious to get this idea across immediately, for IL IS the summer that honey mooners flock to the city from the ends of the land. ..... .:..:...
 And the hotel men feel that these visiting couples, perched atop buses touring the city, are somewhat ne plected. They need someone to take them by the hand and show them the invisible ropes of the town, leaving them to pick out Lady Lib erty, Grants Tomb and the Wool worth Tower for themselves
 4 meeting was called at which shopkeepers, transportation lines and theatrical interests were all repre- sented and 1t was decided that the visitor must be personally shown that the idea is all wrong that everybody is out to rob him as soon as he sets foot on New Yorkside- walks.
