RAILROAD WRECK

Crossing a mountainous creek
in eastern Montana yesterday,
the crack Olympian, Milwaukee
line, crashed into the flooded
stream as the timbers of the
bridge over it gave way. The
train had just plunged into a
cloudburst before crossing the
bridge. 1t was one of the worst
railroad tragedies in years, and
emphasized again the rules which
railroads have carefully insisted
on to the safety OF millions of
passengers travelling tneir lines
every month. Nature can sep in
and destroy the careful periodical
check of man as it did in this in
stance, but observance of more
safety rules that railroads do
now can hardly be asked. Be-
cause the tragedies happen so in
frequently, the careful check Of
every timber and spike in rail
roads line to safeguard those
passing over. the rails may be
said to be successful.

LONGEST DAY OF THE YEAR"

On Tuesday, the 21st day of June, the
people of Key West together with all those
who reside in the Northern Hemisphere
will enjoy the longest day of the year. !"
OF course, days measure the complete
alienation of light and darkness but by
the use of the term we mean the day which
has the greatest amount of light in a. year.
On June 21st, then, occurs the sum-
meT s0lstieeA when the sun, @hauiRgSFeaehed
the northernmost point in its apparent
movement, began an apparent course to
the southwark. The sun, being higher
north in relation to the earth, naturally
gives the people of the Northern Hemis-
phere more light. AT the same time, to
those who reside in the Southern Hemis-
phere. our longest day comedies with

Winter Solstice for us in the Northern
Hemisphere and the Summer Solstiee for
those in the Southern Hemisphere And,
in another three months the sun, this time
moving apparently to the North, crosses
the EQuator ard gives us the Spring Equi-
nox on March 21st. %'9
The great circle of the heavens
around which the sun seems TO travel is

That stilled the heart of lovely

Poured forth a melody of song,
A voice that warbled like a rivu-

From dawn until the sun had set;
Whose treble notes, clear as the

Thrilled happily beneath the blue.
Whose wings had cleft unmeasur-

To reach the shores of sunny isles
Who, to express a heartfelt gleeI
Filled the winter days with jubi-

That muted the song OF a lovely

HOLIDAY SUGGESTION
BY RUSSELL KAY
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


All work and no play makes
Jack or Somethin' like that but
nevertheless even the farmer can
do with a change of scene and bit
of carefree existence once in
awhile and since few who follow
agricultural pursuits have funds
sufficient to, permit trip, to
Europe or a run down to Rio,
they are obliged to take their fun
where they find Sitand that means
close to home.
This year the Fourth Eof July
occurs on Monday and that al
lows a glorious weekend and for
those who seek real adventure
l suggest a trip to Key West,
Florida's charming Island city,
reached over the newly construct
ed $50, 100000 Overseas Highway.
1t is a gay and colorful resort, diff
ferent from any you have ever
visited and to make it more invit-
ing they are planning a monster
celebration July 2-3-4 when the
new highway is officially opened.
Many national and international
dignitaries will be present, in
Guiding officials of the United
States and Cuba, Senators Pepper
and Andrews, Governor Fred
Cone and maybe even your hum
BILE country correspondent. Every
minute of the three big days will
provide thrilling entertainment
while bathing and fishing are list
ed among things to do between
thrills and nowhere is the fishing
finer. Ample accommodations are
being provided and you will find
the trip over the marvellous
ocean-going highway so enchant-
ing and delightful you'll enjoy
every minute of it.
Park the dog and cat with the
neighbors, arrange with friends tc
feed the chickens and water the
mule and pack the family in your
car for one grand and glorious
outing. 1t won't prove as costly
as you think for accommodations
are reasonable and the trip will
do you world of good and pay
big dividends in health and hap
piness. You will find Key West
ers friendly and hospitable peo-
pie and you can take it from me
they win provide party you will
thoroughly enjoy and long re-
member.

NEW DEAL ECONOMICS

AS New Dealers jubilantly
voice their beliefs that the bill
lions just appropriated by Com
gress will aid business wonder
fully, the country stops to re-
view New Deal workings. w. p.
A. Harry Hopkins said that the
money for his relief rolls will
stimulate business. Henry A.
Wallace, secretary of agriculture,
praises the new buying power
available to the farmers. This is
possibly very needed project.
u. S. Housing Administrator
Nathan Straus pointed out more
money to contractors, building
supply manufacturers will be
available This is one of the
business institutions" of the gov
eminent. Absolutely no harm
can come through this setup. And
Ia great deal of good may. P. w.
A. Howard Gray believes the
public works program, which
makes loans carefully, will also
help. This is sound economics.
War departments rivers and har-
bors money will do the same
John j. Kingman, army engineer
chief, said. Which is quite a fair
balance in favor of the govern
ment, and a far cry from earlier
days, when it experimental none
too wisely. Mismanagement of
government agencies was the
main trouble in the first attempts.
w. P. A., most black-eyed of all
the groups, has not improved
much in this, matter. The other
groups are tested and proven by
business methods. This is a
healthier condition that that of
most city and county setups.
Governmental expenditure is a
more serious matter, because of
the large amounts involved, and
should be drawn even closer to
the line.

STRICTLY A KEY WEST PROBLEM

In solving her internal governmental
problems, Key West does not want the as
sistance Of outside interests unfamiliar
with local conditions; SO it is only natural
for our citizens to resent such advice as
that last week offered by the Miami
Herald Without consulting any of our
responsible and substantial citizens or the
civic organizations seeking to bring about
public betterment, the Herald declared
Key West would be making mistake if
she adopted the city manager form of gov
eminent because that method of municipal
operation had failed in Miami.
That's like saying that because a
man failed in the operation of a grocery
business that such businesses should not be
conducted. Or, more to the point, it is
like declaring that because one publisher
failed to make a success of the Miami
Herald, the present publisher should aban-
don his operations and go into the printing
business-or go back to Akron, Ohio,
which enjoys a councilmanic form of gov
eminent that is not so highly regarded by
the citizens of that tax-ridden city.
In Miami the faulty operation of the
city manager form of government is not
the fault of the system. 1t is due to
peculiar set of political conditions that
places the city manager under the COM
plete domination of city commission
which has lost the confidence of the peo-
pie it represents. Give Miami a strong
man in the city managers office and the
system would function to the benefit of the
taxpayers and citizens of that community.
In approaching the proposal to en-
pley city manager for Key West, the
civic organizations sponsoring the scheme
should study operation of that system of
government in cities where it has func-
toned and is functioning successfully. Gin
cinnati, Ohio, for many years has been run
by city manager who has reduced OPP
Grating costs, increased public services and
cut the tax rate. Numerous smaller cities
suits. 1t is from them we must draw our
conclusions, and possibly recruit a city
manager.
Naturally the idea of changing our
form of government does not meet with
the approval of some of our city and coun-
cilmanic officials; so naturally they are
going to raise every obstacle they can in
preventing any such change. We feel that
a majority of our taxpayers, convinced
the present form of government is not Civ
ing them the service to which they are en-
titled, viii support the city manager idea
once the facts are presented to them We
hope the civic groups backing the idea
soon assemble the facts and bring them
forcefully to the attention of our harassed
citizens.
