THOUGHTLESS,PEOPLE

The United States Coast Guard is made
up of highly efficient organization COM
bined with a group of daring and able sea-
men. 1t is generally regarded as the finest
service of its kind on earth.
Thoughtlessness like that of the pair
who registered for an air race from Miami
to Key West and then flew to st. Peters
burg, however, does nothing to improve re-
lations between the service and the people
it protects.
Unfortunately, it is, not an unusual
case.
Again and again, worried wives and
mothers rush to the Coast Guard to ask for
a search for hubby or a boy who hasn't come
home from his fishing or cruise and is en-
dangered by an approaching storm. But, if
he turns up safely after docking his boat at
another port, the Coast Guard usually is
forgotten and it's seamen battle the storm
all night in an unnecessary search.
Apparently there is no limit to their
patience in coming at the cry of ''wolfw
But they definitely don't like it. AS one of
the officers stationed here put it, people
just get too independent"

AN AIRPLANE. JUNK MAN

A new town has been started in Cali
foinia by an Italian-born former airplane
barnstormer, who quit flying to go into the
airplane junk business in big way, ac-
cording to story in Newsweek He is
Arrigo Balboni recently of Los Angeles,
who has now moved his collection of some
2,1OO wrecked planes to his new location.
In addition to being an enterprising
Junk man, Balboni believes in signs when
he writes them himself, and he has sense
of humor The sign he left at his old Los
Angeles stand reads as follows:
Attention, Saps! The Great Balboni
moving to Balboni, San Bernardino county,
California, miles and inches east of On
tario. Come to Balboni; all the air lanes
lead there, where you can fly, glide, slip
and wreck. If you broke don't brag; you
have company. If you can't pay hangar
rent, you don't have to pay at Balboni. You
car leave your klunk in the fresh open air
for exactly nothing. Other saps are doing
it and you are no better. Arrigo Balboni."
At his new junk yard is another sign
which reads: "Balboni, California; pop
ulation 1, but watch me grow" Balboni's
business is buying wrecked planes cheap
from discouraged owners or their heirs re-
pairing them if not too badly damaged, or
selling parts to pilots, aviation schools and
others.
In his long career as a stunt flyer, Bal
boni was lucky, as was his famous para
chute-jumping dog. After 64S jumps with
out injury, she finally died of old age. Bal
boni seems likely to do the same.

THIS CONCERNS YOU

The average reader off The Citizen,
when he runs across brief news item, re-
porting that various concerns have entered
a consent decree restraining them from
fixing prices, is not impressed with the
item.
Just the same, the government is every
day on the trail of business concerns which
try to get together to fix prices, limit COM
petition and otherwise destroy what the
orators glibly refer to as the competitive
system, based upon private initiative.
There are many business men in the
United States today, whose chief claim to
their salaries is based upon illegal agree
ments designed to mulct the consumers in
violation of the laws that prohibit con-
spiracies in restraint of trade and provide
penalties for trusts that tend to monop-
oliZe business.
In every illega. practice of business
there is price advance for the consumer.
The standard of living is restricted by
arbitrary price increases that are not based
upon natural economy but solely upon arti-
fetal restrictions set-up by conspiring bust
ness
