METALS FROM The OCEAN

Metallic magnesium is being recovered
from sea water at Freeport, Texas. and the
heads of forty university chemical en-
cheering departments agree that the pro-
cess is the outstanding engineering achieve
ment CT 1871.
Prof. Alfred White. of the University
of Michigan. says that 900, 1000. 600 gallons
of raw ocean water is daily proeessed TO
produce 10O. 900 pounds of metal as well as
large quantities of bromine for anti-knock
motor fuels
The recovery Of the metallic mag
neSium is important now that magnesium
alloys are being so widely used in the con-
struction of airpanes- They are the light
est metals used in industry, having prac-
tically the strength of aluminium and about
twO-thirds of its weight
In time TO come man viii take many
things from the ocean. In fact, he viii draw
heavily upon the earth's atmosphere for
useful substances. We may even look TO
the Sun for our power and thus secure an
unlimited source of energy

MAKE mo FISHING" MEAN mo"

One more fisherman. William J. Scheer
of Miami, paid with his life this week for a
days angling from an Overseas Highway
bridge
And as result of that same accident.
Kenneth Jones. also of Miami. is under
treatment for a smashed leg. and Robert
Frazier Shinault. driver CT the car which
struck the two men down. faces possible
criminal action. sazss8 As5sssa yti-
Whatever Is decided in court about
the circumstances which caused the fatal
accident, it should give impetus to cam
paign to stop fishing on the bridges. For,
no matter who was at fault in that parti-
cular case, the fact remains that fishermen
have no business on the bridges and are a
menace to their own safety and that of
others when they are there.
We have heard the argument that the
bridges, as fishing sites. constitute an i'm
portant tourist attraction for the keys and
for Key West. We have heard. too. that if
the drivers were more careful the fishermen
would be safe.
The only reply to those arguments IS
that the first one IS unfortunate and the
second is untrue.
Forty-five miles an hour Is a legal rate
of speed q Florida, and it is a speed at
which driver on the open road may pro
coed in reasonable safety. But if fisher
man steps out in front of car going at that
speed 50 feet away, the driver has no more
chance of stopping in time to avoid an acct
dent than ne has of flying over.
Every traffic fatality record you ever
saw shows that the pedestrian walking or
standing at the side of a country highway
is the most frequent victim of all motor ae-
cidents Accept that figure. then decide
for yourself if it is not far more dangerous
to be blocked from escape by a rail on
bridge.
In addition to the danger of his posi-
ton at any time on bridge, the fisherman
throws in other hazards for himself and the
motorist. Frequently, upon catching a fish,
ne jumps back from the rail. When he puts
on bait or wraps up catch. he leans over,
not watching traffic and making it harder
for the motorist to see him. When he casts,
his weighted line frequently swings across
the bridge, causing driver almost spon-
taneously to swerve into the path of traffic
from the other direction.
And there are other arguments.
Overseas Highway land all Florida
highways are paid for almost exclusively
by the motorists money, in this case, both
by gas taxes and by tolls.
The twisting. 18O-mile drive between
Key West and Miami puts a strain on any
motorist, and the ever-neeeSsary watching
for fishermen certainly does nothing to les
sen that strain. In that sense, the fisher
men net only are a menace to safety but
their presence constitutes an imposition on
the people whose money makes the bridges
possible.
Certainly, there is no intention here of
belittling the fisherman or his sport, bu.
from any possible standpoint it ought to be
clear that anglers have no place on the
bridges linking main thOroughfare.
1t is about time to make the mo fish
ing" signs on the bridges mean something
