tect lung cancer, one of them
reported yesterday.
DR.. Howard w. Jones, chief

I have decided to write my experiences yesterday

home from town.
First had to stop in the intersection to avoid hitting
sailor who crossing against red light at the
of Truman and Duva Then the intersection of Tru-
man and Simonton, had to stop to avoid hitting woman
crossing against red light balancing two cups of cof-

About two blocks further on where there is parking
on side of Truman, driving filled with
people, pulled out to pass panel truck coming toward
me. When she my she didn't slow down try
to get back into her lane She came straight for
The driver of the panel truck slowed down and
stopped and she barely missed both She was very
unconcerned about the whole incident and didn't even
slow down.

FOUR.LANE OVERSEAS HIGHWAY is A
MUST IF WE ARE TO GROW

Hario Ramos, vice-chaIrman of the Overseas Bridge
Commission suggested the four-anng of the highway at
the meeting Friday of the commission with Attorney
George Dayton of the State Road Department.
Mr.. Ramos did not the four-laning of the
bridges for such undertaking would entail too great an
expense at this time His idea to increase four
the highway between the bridges, and he estimated it
could be done at cost of 100000.
Dr. Samuel Smiles advises us to rehearse the past
enjoy the present and anticipate the gores the future
rehearse the past, what conclusion do we evolve?
The Overseas Highway is only lifeline connecting us
with Flordas mainland and thereby, with the of
the United States.
Is the lifeline sufficient to accommodate ex-
pedtousy all the traffic coming to and leaving Key
West? Let is but what of the future? If the
Florida Keys in the next 10 years they have in
the last decade long before 1864 the highway will be
cramped with traffic If to Anticipate the gor-
les of the future" then must prepare to expand
the highway to turn that anticipation into realization.
We may think of steamship lines of better air.
plane service but the fact sares in the face that most
of the travelling nowadays and also in the foreseeable fu
ture is and will continue to be by automobile.
We must improve the highway to keep pace with the
growth of the Florida Keys Even the fouranng of the
highway between bridges will be sufficient ultimately
to take of travelling needs But the four lanes
now will be excellent beginning of further improve
ment in the expansion of travelling facilities to and from
Key West remain static in that regard, it will re-
suit in our becoming static in growth and progress
we must go on as other cities are gong on to do what
ever we can to conserve and promote our progress.
In view of the highways healthy financial condi-
ton and the established proof that is we'll able pay
Tor ITSELF will be easy matter to dispose of $2000
600 in bonds to pay for the fourlaning of the road
There is some sentiment in Monroe County against
the restoration of tolls the highway, but that is the
only way out for Key West and all the other Florida
Keys to be assured of highway that will take of
our travelling needs except the construction of another
highway from Cape Sable.
Further, let's not confine thinking to the next
decade How about the next century centures But do
have to look forward that long? The time will come
how long it is away is anybody's guess when the
bridges also must be fouraned take efficiently of
the traffic the Overseas Highway.

However, under present condi-

city managers, Lang is doing the
better job. AS a matter of fact,
King couldn't even hold down the
job at present because he'd prob

is to start at the bottom, using
q thin barber comb as a guide
at all times for the clipper.

without having the comb
under it to keep it from

the neck may be done without
the comb but be careful to go
