WELL AND HoNoRABLy

Despite the fact that The Citizen has
stated that it is not supporting and candi-
date in the primary election on May 2,
rumors are still going the rounds in Key
West that The Citizen is backing this or
that candidate.
The Citizen is not backing any candi-
date for local or national office. AS The
Citizen is a Democratic newspaper and as
this is a Democratic primary, it feels that
it would be not only presuming but unfair
for it to try to persuade residents to vote
for or against this or that Democrat. 1t
believes now.and has always believed that
Democrats should be given free hand to
choose the man they wish to represent
them on the Democratic ticket in the gen
eral election next November After they
have done that then The Citizen joins
with them in supporting the Democratic
nominees against whatever opposition
may develop in the campaign preceding
the general election.
The publisher of The Citizen is con-
fident that no other business house in
Key West or elsewhere in the United
States is freer of political pressure than
this office is, and always has been
under IN present ownership. The
publisher does not know how his employ
ees are going to vote in the May 2 primary
and they do not know how he is going to
vote because he has not discussed the polit-
zeal situation with them. They will vote as
they please and he will vote as he pleaSes,
without any attempt on the part of any
body in the office to try to change anybody
else's decision in being for or against any
candidate. Indeed, the men and the women
employed by the Citizen are so we'll able
to make up their own minds how to vote,
they would resent anybody's trying, in or
out of the office, to persuade them to vote
for or against any candidate.
But the publisher of The Citizen be-
claring that mudslinging or distorted
whispering campaign is the lowest type
of what is called politics" As rule abuse
of candidate draws more voters to his
support,
al Finally, The Citizen reminds its read
ers again that it is not espousing the cause
of any candidate in the local or the nation
al.field. Vote as your conscience tells you
to vote, and you will have performed
your electoral duty we'll and honorably.

SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAY

AS MOTOR vehicular traffic increases 50 the chance and
opportunities for accidents increase, and there must be no re-
taxing Of the vigilance necessary to keep and even improve
the safety of our highways. Because accidents occur 50 swift
~ and without warning. no chances can be taken, night or
day. and each and every traffic regulation must be observed
with great care and understanding.
MANY OF OUR roads are good, but there are also others
which have been permitted to fall in ~disrepair, and which
form a constant threat to safety. Many corners are blind, and
sharp, which means that an oncoming car or truck cannot
be seen until actually around the corner. At other points, one
road runs right into another, and a complete stop must be
made by those using the entering road, or trouble results. At
other points there are soft shoulders, and these, too, present
a threat to safety.
BUT,TO ADD to all this, the roads are sometimes full
of cars and trucks with poor brakes, poor headlights, some
times one, sometimes none atall. Then on Others no talIght
appears, and as a whole all the safety measures are complete
" forgotten. Those who drive these vehicles must realize that
theynot only endanger the lives and safety Of others, but their
own as well, and that a suggestion for improvement OF a re-
mhader is done in the interest Of all.
WHAT IS inexcusable is the negligence Of 50 many driv-
ers who use every possible opportunity to demonstrate how
fast they can drive, or how ~skilfully they. can manipulate a
car Or truck, completely forgetting that the slightest slip may
result IN their own death, to say nothing Of the danger to
othes. An additional few minutes either way would besso
much better for all concerned.
THIS IS just q reminde that our highways need to be
made safer, and that it can be done if all who use them exer-
else the necessary caution, courtesy and understanding. No.
accident is necessary, and they can Be avoided completely It
is up to ali, therefore, to see that we have safe highways.

one of them half an inch (that is,

what happens when you slide one
Of the parts the proper distance.
The eleventh stick vanishes from
sight, but where does it go?
The fact is that the extra stick
stays in full sight, but it is in small
pieces. A bit is added to the
height of each Of the 10 sticks
which are left in sight.
This trick will be spoiled If you
fail to make the diagram Just
right. The sticks should be ex-
actly the same size and exactly
half an inch apart. The diagonal
line should barely miss the end

Here is a little trick which you
may enjoy performing, You can
make IL upright lines turn into
10, right before the eyes Of any
one who wants to watch. This
may puzzle your friends, and you
may be a bit puzzled yourself until
you see how it is done.
To prepare for the trick, you
need a sheet of paper or thin card
board. a pencil or pen, a ruler and
a pair of scissors. Thin cardboard
will stay in good shape longer
than paper.
First make II upright lines.
These may be Of any height you
desire, but all should be the same
size. suggest that you make each
of them an inch and q half high
and one-eighth Of an inch wide.
The upright lines should be ex-

One time my mother and I

We finally got my chameleon out.
On hot days I used to take her
out to the fishpond so she could
