Eaman Inspector Joseph p McNay and officers of the
Schaefer precinct deserve praise
Started a month ago the contest is based on
what different idea in traffic safety campaigns Instead
of leaving traffic control solely to the traffic bureau the
object of this competition to enlist the aid of every
poceman-make it his personal responsibility to cut
accidents.
Although it is too early to say definitely. the first
months results indicate the mayor and Commissioner
Eaman the right track attempts to de

in personal injury accidents while traffic fatalities IN the
city were Is per lower than September last year
This is encouraging. 1t shows that something can be

Gus civic associations take note of what the police
dong-and find out how they work with the police
in their districts.

NOUR correspondent is travel
ing westward in the role Of
goodwill ambassador from Dade
County, Fla, 10 the state OF
California.
This nation makes a point of
sending goodwill ambassadors
TO far countries, but up to now
the adjustment of friendly re-
lations between Dade County
and California has been entirely
neglected.
The situation that first de-
mands our attention has refer
ence TO the newspapers of the
two localities. We will confer
with the publishers of California
and endeavor to make a reclp-
rocal deal with them whereby
the public prints of Dade County
will hereafter refrain from
front-paging and big-typing any
slight inclemencleS Of the
weather that may occasionally
occur IN California. if the Cali
fornians will discontinue their
practice Of taking advantage of
the VIGOROUSLY imperfect and
deceiiful thermometers that
have unaccountably been dis
tributed in Florida.
WE HOPE to prevail upon the
w California publishers to
cease making much OF the
errors of these instruments
when they falsely disclose an
apparent decline in the Winter
temperature in Dade County
and to relegate 10 small para
graphs in the want ad section
any mention in connection with
Dade County of such words as
overcoats, freeze, SILVER, ice,
frost, etc.
In return the Dade County
prints Will of course minimize
words like torrents, flood, down
pour. and wet in relation to
California.
We would not deny the news
papers the use Of these words
entirely. but we will suggest
that they be played up only IN
relation 10 more remote re-
gions such as Tibet and Afghan

tive publicity OF fat headlines
under date of Los. Angeles or
Miami. as the case may be.
We believe that the exercise
Of proper restraint in this re-
Spect viii further the entente

Dade County no little.
Another thing we are going to
take up with the various cham

is the platform shoe for ladies
