This Reason Given For De-
lay On Opening Bids For
Proposed CAA Prof.
ect

Carl Bervaldi, county COM
mission chairman who returned
here Friday from Washington,
said today he was informed at
Civil Aeronautics Authority
headquarters in the capital that
opening of bids on the Boca
Chica airport here has been de-
layed only until money for the
project is released by Congress.
Bervaldi, who went to Wash
ington with County Clerk Ross
Sawyer and Julius f. Stone, Jr.,
county attorney, said he was told
that the appropriation bill con-
tanning the Boca Chica money
was held up temporarily by de-
bate in congressional commit
tee.
AS soon as money is available,
possibly within few days, Ber-
valid said bids will be opened
and work on the project launch
ed.
Replying to rumors that CAA
might prefer Use of a Pine Key
site instead of Boca Chica land
purchased by the county, Ber-
valdi said the Boca Chica prop
city already has been given Off
cial approval in Washington.
Since the airport is to be used
commercially, Bervaldi said it is
unlikely that CAA ever gave Sc
rious consideration to a Pine Key
field, 40 miles from Key West.
Stone, who remained in Wash
ington with Sawyer after Ber-
vaIdi had left for Key West, is
expected to arrive here late this
afternoon, while Sawyer, with
pther county officials, is in ITALIA
hassee for a conference with
Comptroller ]. M. Lee tomorrow.
County officials who will at
tend the meeting are Tax Collec-
tor Joe Mcmahon, Tax Assessor
Claude A. Gandolfo, County
Commissioner Ernest A. Ramsey;
School Superintendent Melvin
Russell, and Sawyer.

SAFETY COUNCIL
] URGES CARE ON
FOURTH OF JULY
MAKES EFFORT TO HAVE ALL
JOIN IN COOPERATION IN
STAGING SAFE AND SANE
CELEBRATION

CHICAGO, June %. - The
Fourth of July this year will bring
the biggest traffic jam in the ma
tion's history, the National Safety
Council predicted today.
More important, it also will
bring the biggest holiday traffic
toll, the Council warned--unless
the extra hazard is met by extra
caution.
More than 30,0OO,OoO vehicles
will pack the highways over the
three-day holiday period, the
Council said. They will travel four
billion miIes--the greatest total
ever rolled up on the nations
speedometers in any one week
end.
This all-time high will result
from the fact that full-time pro-
duction means full pocketbooks
and full gas tanks. More people
are driving more cars more miles.
And over the Fourth relatives and
friends by the thousands will be
the boys in uniform. The
vacation season will be in full
swing. Traffic will be rolling along
in high.
To meet the threat of a record
breaking traffic toll, the Council
called on every driver and every
pedestrian to enlist in a nation
wide effort to avoid accidents.
Thirty national organizations
are joining with the Council in a
campaign to cut the holiday toll
on the highway. on the beach, in
the home and from fireworks.
Last year these same organiza-
tions united in a similar drive,
and the nations traffic toll came
down in July--the only month in
the last 10 to show a decrease.
The keynote of this campaign is,
I'VE can do it again!"
Even with its lower traffic toll,
July in 1910 brought death to o.
900 persons through all types of
More than 100000
others were injured in accidents.
and the economic cost was $780,
BOO, 900. In traffic alone, 2,790 lives
were lost.
Each year." the Council said,
America ironically celebrates the
birth of its independence by stag
ing jamboree of carelessness.
There is no rhyme or reason to
this wholesale slaughter. 1t must
be stopped. II can be stopped it
every one of us uses caution and
sense. The things that
cause these tragedies are things
we can control-haste, selfishness,
thoughtlessness, the desire to
show off.
TN this time of great national
when the nation is
its vast resources OF
wealth and manpower. accidents
are more than ever needless and
dangerous waste. They amount to
sabotage.
Don't join the Fourth Column.
Stay out of that long column of
casualties that will he left in the
wake of the independence Day
Celebration.
