LETTER BOX
OVERRIDING 1T
To the Editor:

10 the Editor.
l am confident every Star SUBJ
sc-iber has been reading the va
rious articles concerning the Win
ter Park drainage controversy.
AS the old saying goes, each
question has two sides. The side
that has been set forth in the news
papers by the leaders of the fight
showing a pathetic and acute situa-
ton represents only a small minori-
ty of the Winter Park citizenry.
Since the flood of Geographic
complaints and petitions began
from this antagonistic group to
Governor Cherry. 1 have learned
that several families had anticipat-
ed establishing homes in Winter
Park, but have now purchased lots
elsewhere because of the alleged
d%eplorable condition of our nice
community. 1 assume the complain
ers' motive is for Winter Parks
%betterment, but more harm is be-
ing done than good. It would be a
different matter if these complaints
were justified but they r gross
ly exaggerated.
Another thing, the apparent
grudge this clique has against the
County Commissioners, especially
Mr.. Addison Hewlett, must be en-
tirely personal, for the conditions
existing at Winter Park certainly
do not warrent the written and
verbal attacks made upon them.
In my own and my parents deal
ings with Mr.. Hewlett, we have
found his very pleasant and coop
erative in any matter requiring his
attention.
Naturally, the recent rains have
hindered the work of cleaning out
the bitches and replacement of the
present water mains with 86-inch
pipe, but. l think / speak for al
most everyone else when I say that
the best possible progress is being
made on this project, considering
the above mentioned condition and
also the limited number of work
men.
I was under the impression that
the superintendent Of schools, in
conjunction with the board of
health, is charged with the respon-
sibility of closing a school when
it appears some unheaIthful situa-
ton prevails that would prove de-
trimental to the welfare of the
students. Yet, this contrary group
has taken it upon themselves to
try to close the Winter Park school.
This is carrying the issue just a bit
too far. I feel that the s~uperintend-
ent of schools is caple of determin-
ing whether or not the school should
be closed.
In summarizing, I would like tn
saw the preponderance of the Win
ter PARK residents feel that all
of this harmful publicity the COM
munity is receiving is uncalled for
and should be stopped immediate
" before further damage is done to
Winter Parks future.

Joint Club Meetings

1t has been suggested that Will
mington's civic clubs meet in joint ses-
sion periodically, perhaps quarterly,
and that at these meetings projects of
major interest to the community be
discussed. By this means, it is argued,
a broad cross-section of opinion could
be developed and, as the case might
be, joint decisions reached.
Such meetings have been held in
the past, but rarely, and then only be-
cause one club had secured a speaker
of outstanding ability or was promot-
ing some special project in which it
was deeply interested and for which it
sought the cooperation of the other
clubs. It is now thought that if a regu-
lar schedule of joint sessions were set
up all the clubs and the business, in
dustrial, cultural, educational and re-
llgious groups, could get together. on
activities that would lead to greater
community advancement.
The idea has the advantage of the
usual custom of having each club at it's
separate session hear the same speak
er present the same project, with con-
sequent loss of public interest with
each succeeding presentation. But the
question is where would the clubs meet
and who could serve the meal? It is
useless to consider a joint meeting
without food.
At the same time there is no good
reason, should the proposal be adopted,
why everybody should not bring his
own r~ations, with the caterer provid-
ing the coffee. From the Agricultural
Departments crop estimates, as reveal

Community Health
%Jeopardized

Citizens of Winter Park have ex-
posed the most serious danger result
ing from frequent flooding of their
suburb. They gathered in mass meet
ing Tuesday night, and among their
complaints was the grave threat of an
epidemic from overflowing septic
tanks.
When they decided to bring the stu
alton to the attention of the State
Board of Health they took the course
that should have been taken when their
vicinity first began to submerge with
every heavy rain because adequate
drainage had not been provided.
Correction of the bad condition
does not devolve alone upon the State
Highway Commission and the County
Board of Commissioners. It is up to
the local Health Department to take
whatever action is needed for relief.
An area served by septic tanks and
private wells cannot hope to escape
widespread disease indefinitely unless
it is also drained of rain water as fast
as it falls.
The local health authorities are to
be urged to impress the need of a
drainage system il. Winter Park upon
the State Board of Health, and to def
nitely "go to bat" fc~ speedy adoption
Of such a project.
With the health of an entire COM
munity in jeopardy, as it Is, the authori-
ties duty is manifest.

Better Products

Research by the oil industry was
responsible for the development and
quantity production of a long list of
special motor fuels and lubricants used
by our fighting forces during the war.
These oils, which were superior to any
Of their predecessors, were a vital fac
tor in keeping our military machine
rolling.
Now this progress is being passed
on to the public in the form of better
oils for civilian use.
One example of this is a new auto
mobile oil which will shortly be on the
market. It has a special capacity to
protect against varnish deposits on en-
CINE parts, against bearing ~corrosion,
and against deterioration of the oil it.
self. In addition, it cleans engines, as
sures easy starting and immediate lubri-
cation of FRACTIONAL surfaces, protects
against engine wear, and has a long
list Of other desirable properties. All
in all, according to the technicians, this
particular oil will make for a better
running car and longer car life.
This is but one important new oil
product out of many that will be made
available to the consuming public as
materials become available. All of these
products will contribute to that Ameri-
can goal-a higher standard of living.
And all Of them represent the work
of free enterprise in the interest of
the people Of the nation.

; Americas Card Authority

Back in the limelight among
the winners at the recent ma
tlonal tournament was Mrs. R. C.
(Sally) Young of Philadelphia, Pa.
Only a few years ago Mrs. Young
was rated as the worlds outstand-
ing woman player. During the
war she responded to an appeal
in Philadelphia for women war
workers by taking on the task of
driving a taxicab. She can tell
some interesting stories about lis
tening to passengers returning
from bridge parties in her cab,
and arguing about bridge hands.
Today's hand helped Mrs. Young
win the national women's pair
championship this year with Mrs.
E. j. Seligman of New York. They
received top score on the hand
for playing it at six clubs.
Mrs. Young sat North, and after
her natural spade response to he-
partners club bid, South's bid of
two hearts was a reversal and
showed a very strong hand. Mrs.
Young's three-spade bid was a
game demand and showed length
in spades. South's four-club bid
showed lack of interest in the
spade suit.
And now, although aces are
shown rarely before a suit has
been agreed upon, Mrs. Young
felt that her partner would take
her bid of four diamonds as moth
ing but an ace-showing bid, ask
ing whether it was possible play
this hand at six or sever
Therefore when South bid five
diamonds. Mrs. Young decided to
sign off at six clubs. Most of the
other pairs tried to play the hand
at six spades or six no trump,
which was defeated with a heart
opening.
You will observe that neither
of these champions employed
the Blackwood ace-showing con-
vention on this hand. South did
not want to risk a response show
ing one ace, and have to wonderI
whether it was the ace of spadesl
or diamonds. North was not in
terested in the ace holding but
realized the importance of letting
he- partner know that she held
the c Of diamonds.

Byrnes Speech In Retrospect

Taking time out for a long breath
after Secretary Byrnes' Stuttgart
speech, Roscoe Drummond OF the
Christian Science Monitor staff decides
that the consequences of this historic
announcement do not end with a head
line in the afternoon paper.
He adds that the talk at the Paris
Peace Conference, the incident OF Amer
lean planes shot down in Yugoslavla, the
debate over Greece, are all small mat
tiers compared with what Mr.. Byrnes
had to say,on German soil -"
And, because he does not leave his
arguments "out on a limb" MIR. Drum
mond gives four reasons for his per-
sonal conclusion, all of which bear close
examination. He writes of the Byrnes
speech:
ut brings out into the open the
mounting disagreement between Russia
and the United States ove what should
be done with Germany.
ut recognizes publicly that the Pots
dam agreement has fallen down at vir-
tually every point.
1T brings the Big Three powers
face to face with one of the largest
direct issues which divide them-the
issue whether the Allies are to join
in %neutralizing Germany or fall apart
in attempts to court its favor.
1T offers to Russia both an invita-
ton and a challenge. The invitation is
to get back to the Potsdam agreement,
whereby the Big Three pledged to bring
about a demilitarized but economically
united Germany. The challenge is that
if Russia refuses to cooperate, the
United States, Britain, and it is hoped,
France will unite their zones of occu-
patton in Germany on the Potsdam
terms"
He goes on to say the United States
does not seek this alternative, and does
not want it, but will take it rather
than total stalemate" in Allied govern
ment in Germany. 1t means, he adds,
"a serious breach in Big Three rela-
tons, and that breach, if not repaired
in Germany, will be likely to WIDEN"
The significant thing here is not
only that Mr.. Drummond writes with
such plainness but that a newspaper as
conservative as the Monitor publishes
his article on Page 1, without an ac-
companying note that the views do not
necessarily represent it's w position,
a custom of editors when personal opin-
ions do not square with their papers
attitude.
AS there is no indication that Rus
STA proposes to return to the provi-
sions of the Potsdam agreement, it
must be assumed that if Mr.. Drummond
has the right slant on Russia's policy
Germany, the United States cannot
avoid taking" the alternative, in which
case a final showdown with Russia will
be ~inescapable.
