President Gives Up
Key West Cottage
Used by Truman
ey n. A..eele,.a Prsss

THURMONT, Nd, July 18.-
President Eisenhower has turned
back to the Navy the cottage
President Truman used as a va
cation headquarters at Key
West, Fla. 5
Gen. EiSenhower's decision
came to light today as he took 1t
easy at Camp David In the Ca
toctin Mountains. a quiet retreat
which Mr.. Truman and Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt used
under the name Of Shangri-La.
Mr.. Truman reportedly cared
little about the mountain lodge
but 1t apparently has become
Gen. Eisenhower's favorite spot
for weekend relaxation.
Catches Two Trout.
. The President spent part Of
the morning fishing and caught
two trout.
He and Mrs. Eisenhower drove
here yesterday from Washing
ton. They plan to return to the
White House tomorrow evening.
The white frame cottage at
Key West was used by Mr.. Tru-
man as headquarters on all Of
his many trips to the Florida
naval base.
But Gen. Eisenhower, it was
learned, has informed the Navy
that he does not plan to use the
building.
The decision came Just a
couple of weeks after Gen. Eisen-
hover turned back to the Navy
another of Mr.. e. Truman's
favorites. the presidential yacht
Williamsburg.
Reserved for President.
Both the President and Mrs.
Eisenhower are familiar with
Key West as a vacation spot,
but have no, desire to maintain
a headquarters there, it was
said.
During the Truman admin
'istration the Key West cottage,
which once was used by the
naval base commander as his
headquarters, was reserved for
the President. Other use was
made Of it only when the White
House gave permission.
But Gen. Eisenhower aides
have notified the Navy that such
clearance won't be necessary in
the future.

1854 Chevrolet Goes
On Display Friday

A new line of Chevrolet paSsen-
ger cars, improved in appearance
and performance, will 60 on dis
play here Friday, according to an
announcement made by Herman
Clements on his return from
Memphis where Chevrolet retail
dealers of this area saw 1854 mo-
dels and heard a discussion of
their features in the Ellis Audi
forum.
I'm line with the customary
Chevrolet policy at these annual
closed meetings, we have been
asked not to reveal details of the
new car" said Mr.. Clements,
''The company feels that its auto
motive progress can be fully ap-
preciated only by first-hand in
spection. For this reason we make
every effort to keep the models
under wraps until the national
showing, when they can be seen
only in dealer showrooms."
For his local introduction, Mr..
Clements plans special show
room decorations and a program
that will make the event UNI
usual. The annual showing here
has always been spectacular, Mr..
Clements said, and the 1854 dis.
play will be no exception.

Traffic Increases
Over 268 Percent
In 22-Year Period
Nations Highways
Are Not Adequate
To Meet Problem

Traffic over the nations high
ways has increased 268 percent
during the past % years, it was
revealed by Fred Corley, district
engineer for the Mississippi State
Highway Dept, in a visit here
this week.
By 1860 it is expected that
there will be So million vehicles
travelling the highways of Amer
lea of which Is million are expect
ed to be trucks, Mr.. Corley said.
The truck traffic of the country
in 1904 constituted only one and
three-tenths per cent of the nat
ional traffic, he said. BY 1919
trucks had risen to twelve per
cent of the total and by 1850 they
constituted II per cent of all traf-
fic.
The terrific traffic problem at
the present is caused from the
hugh increase in number of We
hicleS travelling the highway and
inadequate facilities over which
they must operate, he continued.
The traffic congestion problem
is acute in all states, he observed,
and said the highway department
was seeking measures to get some
relief. Among the measure sought
are measures asking that Federal
funds to be changed from dollar
for-dollar matching basis as now
constituted to a 25-75 cent basis.
That is, have the Federal govern
ment give rs cents for each Is
cents spent by the state. The de-
partment is also seeking to have
the Federal government particip-
ate in maintaining the primary
! highways.

Our readers may remember
that we commented in this
column last week about the fatal
accident to an out Of county man
on Holmes county highway.
A citizen of Columbus was Kill
led when his automobile hit a
cow on the highway between
Pickens and Lexington.
The article has provoked con-
siderable response from a large
number of readerS-and all Of
them against the cows.
We would like to add this bit
of information which certainly
should be known to all owners
Of livestock:
If your livestock is turned out
you are violating the law-and
you are legally responsible for
any damage it may do.
Not only that-but if you turn
your stock out and it is the cause
OF fatal accident you are guilty
of murder just as much as if you
had pointed gun and killed the
accident victim.
NOW is the time for all citi-
ems of Holmes county who have
a responsible conscience to use
their influence to keep stock of
the highways.
The stock will roam our high.
ways only as long as public opin'
ion will permit it.
