BY RUSSELL KAY

Allen advances the suggestion
that the new fraternity could do
much for Florida by working as
diligently on behalf of the COW
as some have worked against her
in the past and he hopes that the
movement will appeal to thou
sands throughout the state who
will gladly band themselves to-
gether to COW-operate on the
problem by becoming members
of the Order of the Sacred
Cow.
Developed into a strong state
wide organization, he points out,
it should have sufficient political
power to cause the legislature to
take action and he advocates that
a bill be introduced that would
require that all state roads be
designated "COW-ways" rather
than ''highways"; that the road
department plant more luscious
and nourishing grasses along the
shoulders; that the state safety
department supply all cows with
tail-lights as a safeguard against
reckless and careless motorists;
appropriation of funds for the es-
Establishment of a home for or
phaned calves whose mothers
have been killed on the cow
ways; and in general provide for
the welfare, comfort and protec-
ton of Her Bovine Majesty.
The idea isn't as screwy as it
sounds and if Fuller Warren
could be induced to get behind
the movement and serve as state
organizer it ought to go over with
bang.
Certainly we should adopt the
obligation of the Order which
admonishcs US to do unto I'D
DERS as we would have them
do unit us" and certainly there
should be moro of the milk of
human kindness" in the pale"
of civilization.

TOO LATE TO
CLASSIFY

Disregarding for the moment
the question of a new order" in
Europe, Florida scribes gleefully
enjoyed the advent of new
order" in Florida last week when
with solemn ritual all who at
tended the annual Press Break
fast at the Florida Orange Fes-
tival were initiated in the Order
of the Sacred Cow.
To Allen Andrews, editor and
publisher of the American Eagle
of Estero, goes credit for the idea
that resulted in the staging of
an amusing skit wherein an hum
BILE motorist and taxpayer, serv-
ing as candidate. is initiated in
the sacred rites that esteem and
venerate Her Bovine Majesty.
CARRIED in colorful robes, Grand
Imperial Bullion and Venerable
Long and Short Horn of the new
order, occupying the fraternal
chairs with true dignity, revealed
the ancient mysteries, pointing
out the exalted position which
in days gone by was accorded the
COW and her kline.
The aim and purpose of the
"Order of the Sacred Cow is to
reestablish the patient and hum
BILE bovine to her rightful position
and create in the public mind
the proper respect and venera-
ton due her as Florida's Patron
Saint.
DISCOURAGED after years of
militant effort to drive the scrub
cows from our state highways
through editorial appeals to SAN
itv and reason, Allen finally de-
cidcd to adopt the old political
philosophy that teaches eff you
can't lick 'em, join 'em" and he
hopes that where common sense
has failed, ridicule and humor
will do the trick So he now urges
that since it seems to be, our lot
to have to live with the COW on
our highway we should learn to
defend rather than defy her.
While the skit at the Press
Breakfast was presented pri-
marily to amuse and entertain
the newspaper men, Allen feels
that the idea has real possibilities
and that the organization
throughout the state of accredit-
ed chapters, or they might be
termed stables, of the order
would eventually result in
laughing the roadside cow into
Oblivion.
Walter Hays. chairman of the
Safety Committee of the Florida
State Chambre of Commerce
helped the idea along in a big
way by contributing distinctive
emblems to be worn by members
of the Order, an attractive two
color lapel button bearing the
head of a sanctimonious cow with
halo hung jauntily over one
horn, designed by George White
Tampa Tribune cartoonist. 1t is
planned to issue equally amusing
membership cards for those in
Quoted into the organization.

An interesting meeting of the
Key West Woman's Club, well at
tended by both members and

tors in making Is dresses for small
