THIS ROCK

By BILL GIBR

Blue Monday again.
These are the kind of days that

the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture 5
public relations bureau. I'm not
sure exactly how that outfit works
but Judging by the way they handle
farmers, the less copy a writer
turns out, the bigger salary he
would draw.
The above conclusion was
reached because of the present po-
tatoe shortage. Someone told me
the other day that the U. S, was
importing canned Irish potatoes
from Europe. This | don't believe!
We may be fools enough to pay
farmers not to raise produce or to
destroy what they do raise. But
surely to gosh, we're not such
?&X?!S fools as to re-import our
own food stocks.
On second thought, it might not
be a bad idea to approach Mr.
Artman, editor and publisher of
The Citizen, and find out if he will
pay me not to write. Certainly,

when he has read some of my
stuff or listened to the public's

certainly and surely he ought to be
willing to pay me pretty good
salary just to stay away from the
typewriter and devote myself to
the Office broom and mop.
Taxi Drivers
Taxi drivers WELD a little to
much power around this town. Our
civic leaders, which TO a large ex-
tent means our politicians, are
seemingly afraid to cross them.
We are probably the only town
in the U. s. that does not require
some sort of liability insurance on
public conveyances. If you're rid
ing in taxi and accidently smash
up somewhere, you're just out of
luck insofar as collecting damages
are concerned. Your only recourse
would be to 60 TO court and you
know without being told that, in
most instances, only the lawyers
come out on top when folks start
fighting in court.
Our City Commissioners surely
realize the above conditions. Ger
tainly the matter has been brought
to their attention enough and al
ways, they refuse to pass an or
dinance requiring liability insur-
ance because it would cost the taxi
owners a little extra money.
I've thought and thought over
the situation and I'm inclined to
believe that somewhere along the
line, the local chaufeurs have con

In the recent bus taxi feud, I'm
taking the position that neither
