BUCKETS TAKEN
FROM BRIDGES
Urge MADE THAT THEY
BE REPLACED WITH
OTHERS

Visitors and citizens alike have
filed suggestions with The Citi-
zen that more fire buckets be
placed on the wooden bridges on
Overseas Highway leading to the
mainland
A survey of the bridges reveals
that fully rs percent of the buc
kets which were placed on the
bridges two years ago by order of
the Monroe county commission
have disappeared. Some of them
obviously had been stolen.
The buckets should be kept fill
ed with water, as some of them
which are still in place are not.
Further, it was suggested that
signs notifying persons taking
the buckets that it is against the
law and punishable by a fine be
placed on the bridges.
1T is bad enough to have to use
those wooden brides, one citizen
said today. But when the bridg-
es are left without any protection
whatever the danger is greater
The state road patrolman can
watch the buckets, if the county
cannot, and l believe they will be
safe. Even if few of them are
stolen from time to time they
should be replaced

Use Horse Sense
Wear RightShoes


Human trotters get through the
winter season with fair amount
OF comfort, and they don't kick up
much of fuss. When warm wealth
er comes, they protest. When toes
twinge, soles feel as if they were
frying, a woman of even ordinary
intelligence should seek relief,
which she will find in shoes
that conform to the contour OF her
pedals and provide proper support.
Shoes must not press or pinch.
There must be no friction caused
by looSeneSS at the heels. A COM
Portable foothold must be provided.
If it isn't, no woman can expect to
retain a youthful figure or move
with grace.
If you do a lot of complaining
along these lines, get active.
In half-mile walk along the
buy-Ways where women gather you
will see dozens of shoppers clump-
ing along on spiked heels. 1t is evi-
dent that locomotion is distressing.
The distress shows upon faces that
are tense and drawn. What JOY it
must be to kick off the tormenting
things, run around barefoot.
Along comes a woman with horse
sense. Her feet are encased in
smart oXfords with heels Of proper
height. Her body moves with ease
and grace. Walking does not tire
her; she enjoys it, She swings along
