Assistant State Attorney
William W sAfbury, who ac+.
scomp anied sheriff Berlin a.
Sawyer to the sheriffss eOEi-
ven. ion in St. Augustine, To-
day released the most ont
standing story, promotive
OF the interests of Key West.
that has broken in many
day - that Senator Claude
PEPPER will "do all in my
pow" to eliminate the
Tolls on the Overseas High
way bridges.
Il met Senator Pepper al
the sheriffs' convention"
mir. Albury said, land dls-
cassed with him the tolls on
cur bridges in detail and
he assured me he will miro
duce measure in the SEN
ate, providing an appropria-
ton 10 pay the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation
the $3,15O,0o0 still due on
the bridge bonds, if the
Overseas Highway is dcclar-
ed a rs,ilitary necessity.
"Befi1es, Senator Pepper told
me IT, 5cedure to initiate,
which :, AID place hia in
position TO take action to have
the tolls removed. If we succeed
in having the secretary of the
navy declare the Overseas High
way a military necessity, then
Senator Pepper told me he will
introduce d bin to have the RFC
bonds liquidated.
.'That was the way" Mr.. AL
bury pointed out, 'that the
Candy bridge, connecting TAMPA
and St. Petersburg, was made
toll free, and it should be an
easy matter for us, considering
our military and naval activities
in Key West, to demonstrate that
the Overseas Highway, the only
connection Key West has with
the mainland by land, is a mill
tary necessity. We are preparing
to take that action Immediately
and should we attain that end,
Senator Pepper assured me he
will prepare Immediately TO in
troduce the appropriation bill in
the senate" .3jl
Continuing, Attorney AllaTy
pointed out that the OveTsscas
Highway is. now the only major
road in Florida on which tolls
are collected.
AIT first glance" he added,
we may not apprcciate-ahat it
means to Key West 10 have thu
tolls removed from our magnifi-
cent roadway. Aside from the
fact that it would save hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars in the
payment Of tolls for private,
commercial and public vehicles,
in addition to the payment for
passengers, before the bonded in
debtedness is liquidated, it would
mean the coming here Of thous-
ands of visitors recurrently. when
they learned they would have a
trll-free road over which to
drive.
Free roads and growths ~
communities go hand in hand"
Mr.. Albury concluded.

THEY 4REN'T NEEDED

Paul Porter, head Of shrinking,
dvindling. interfering OPA, promises
the more than 5000 employees being let
ont as the agency prepares to Gle, that
efforts would be made to get them other
Jobs. Why don't they go out and work
like other people and learn how hard 1t
is to live with government interference
in many details of everyday life?
This is the old routine. When after
strenuous efforts some Federal bureau
is closed, it is supposed to help cut the
cost of government and relieve the tax
PAYERS. 1t doesn't work out that way.
When the Office of War Information
was abolished, some of the employees
merely moved into the State depart
ment. The idea of getting private work
and producing something instead OF
trying to boss other peoples efforts is
terrible to bureau jobholder.
There is another reason that these
people should not be placed in some
other department of the government.
They are now imbued with the idea OF
running other peoples business, trying
to direct something about which they
know little or nothing, and, of they did,
the country is tired of curbs, controls,
and management; sick of interference,
laundering, and sitting of production.
There is work to do in the country
for almost anybody who wants to work.
Let the dismissed employees of OPA
get some of that. 1t would do them
good and the country good for a change.

Editorial
R4ILRO4D CROSSING

1t is hoped that the Atlantic Coast
limo and the State Highway department
will see fit to move the Live Oak street
railroad crossing southwark IN line
with the Green Sea highway as has been
proposed by the town here with the
aoonaration of the LEGAL merchants as
ISOLATION.
As the crossing stands now, life and
limb are endangered needlessly through
three abrupt turns right in the business
section. The proposed change IN the
routing eff Green Sea traffic, would
eliminate two turns and facilitate things
greatly.
Property owners and business men OF
that end of town are III favor OF the
new crossing. 1t should go through.

DID YOU EYER HEAR
ABOUT ECONOMI?

When Calvin Coolidge was President
of the United States he cut down the
National debt many billions of dollars.
And most Of the ''cutting' was III the
National Capitol. Every six months he
called all the chiefs OF the Government
together and demanded that they cut
down expenses. At one Of the sessions
he declared: I'D rather have You save
one penny than talk Of saving a dollar
and fail to save it." He told the Lon
don government that it should not eN-
pect any money from the United States,
and he asked all the Nations that owed
the United States on account OF NGrld
War to please remit He went far
Their than that when he cut down on the
increase Of the number of Government
EMPLOYEES. and insisted that those who
had Government jobs should earn their
salaries.
Today we are spending money like
''drunken Sailors We are so soft
that Russia still believes that she will
be able to tap our till for few billions.
In our international relations we are
talking about every subject in the uni
verse except economy. Russia thinks
We ought to pay one-half the expenses
CT the United Nations, and we talk about
one-quarter Of the costs. Meantime
Russia is trying to destroy the United
Nations.
We need mere economy, and the way
to start it is along the lines advocated
by Senator BYRD of Virginia. His plan
is to let two or three million idle politi-
cans out Of the Government and give
item chance to so home and earn an
h nest living

Neal Urges
Bond Buying

Winston-salem, N. c., November y
Stating that U. S. Savings Bonds are
still the safest investment in the
world, William H. Neal, President OF
the North Carolinn Bankers Assoc
iation, today urged the public to
buy extra bonds during the special
period of November II to December
I, and pledged the full support OF
the banks to the campaign.
Savings Bonds are the same SAFE
and sound investment that the war
bonds WERE" Neal said. "They pro-
vide means of investing surplus
money today to buy the things we
shall need in years to come ana
cannot buy today. Every three
dollars grows to four in ten years
and these bonds are not subject 10
market fluctuations.

Letters To the
EDITOR

Dear Editor:
I would like to see every merchant
in Tabor City cooperate to the am,
for the building of our individual
business and for the betterment o!
Tabor City both in business ana
cultural way.
Tabor City is no different from any
other small town, but our town WILL
not grow unless we cooperate.
I think we are making progress
and will continue to do so. Beng
located in an agricultural section
we must give all consideration to the
farmer and his needs.
In the matter of closing on wed
nesday afternoon, for which l nave
been cussed and discussed, l would
like to say one thing as a personal
view point only, think we all think
too much about getting off instead
of getting on.
If every merchant and business
firm in Tabor City would close up
completely on Wednesday afternoon
as we do on Sunday. I would be the
first man to vote for that. But as
I see it, there are three reasons we
should not close. First, we have
not educated our customers to a
midweek holiday, they do not take
one and I hardly see how we can do
the same if We appreciate their
business.
Second, the average employee here
works less than so hours a week
now. And third, We cannot promote
building in town and show proper
consideration for our customers un-
less we remain open.
Sincerely yours,
G p Smith

j. W. Buck) Peay's generous gift Of
a loud speaking public address system
to the Tabor City school is gesture
worthy Of recognition. Mr.. Peay has
done something that will aid the school
materially and his mselfishness is to
be commended.

spirited citizenry for aid in procuring
