HIGHWAY PATROL COMMENDED

Editor, The Citizen
1t seems to me that the Florida Keys have an asset
which is unadversed and which goes unnoced because
it is taken for granted.
That is the efficiency, courtesy and consideration
with which the Highway Patrol is operated.
In law enforcement anywhere consideration should
be given to unintentional failures conform regu-
atons we'll to effective in dealing with nten-
tiona disregard of the safety of Others
In too many sections is the ambition of officers to
make as many arrests possible in order to make
reputation for advancement and of these arrests
result in misfortune and inconvenience for too many law
abiding citizens
The writer had an experience, some years ago of
being stopped by the Highway Patrol because his tail
light was out. Since he only going short distance
further the patrolman let him continue with promise
that this would be repaired before again venturing out
on the highway.
It seems to me that this was case of proper con-
sideraton, sense and courtesy The writer has
known cases. elsewhere where such was not the
tice
More recently, the writer stalled on the high
by battery trouble The Highway Patrol car stopped
and the patrolman asked if he could be of any help
With the help of his flashlight held to facilitate
repair. the writer able to complete his journey and
the shoulder of the road.
Such courtesy and help are not usual in other Sec

highway safer, we'll arrests of offenders.

Mr.. Rogers says of his sermon
that fear in the time of Jesus
Christ gripped the very soul of
men and anchored them to a life
of hate and fear. The arbitrary
power and ruthless execution Of
their every within made the inhabi-
tan's restless, fearful of the Roman
authorities. This coupled with the
selfishness and greed of the eecles-

In their Illustration they readily

ON BEING a COOP NEIcHBoR

Key Westers pride themselves on being neighborly
Within the circle of community the helping hand is
extended TO those in distress Just in Key West is not
enough. There are many mutual problems facing all Of
that be solved only on national level. Some of
these are health and welfare problems that are much
better solved voluntary-through all own efforts
than by paternalistic all-embracing government.
The scourge of polio Is one problem that cannot be
solved locally. Victory can be only every COM
munity voluntarily supports coordinated national at
tack against the disease This requires national organi
cation to lead the fight Fortunately have battle
tested leader in the National Foundation for Infante
Paralysis
For is years the National Foundation and its county
chapters have spearheaded the attack against polio It
h purely voluntary organization financed solely by the
March of Dimes It grew out Of the recognition Of mill
ions Of people that polio could be conquered only through
an expensive and expansive effort
This is the American way of doing things, OPP
posed to the totaitaran in which does
i all and people must simply accept what is done.
Some people believe that neghborliness should stop
at the borders Of their own community They would have
the take all large health and welfare
programs. We don't believe these people realize what
this kind of government program would involve.
As President Eisenhower recently said when talk
ing about voluntary agencies "The slogan of true
democracy Is notLet the Government do it. The true
slogan is--Let's do it Ourselves"
missioner, recently said this: without the facilities and
services OF voluntary agencies vast would have to
be spent by the State to build plants and institute pro-
grams and while public and private agencies compile
men each other it Is the voluntary groups which have
explored pioneered and developed techniques of as
sistance and set the pace for all programs Government
and voluntary agencies do not conflicts both have found
sound basis for their existence in the American social
structure"
We think this Is sound reasoning. We hope that such
voluntary organizations will continue to be integral
part Of the American way of life They provide buwark
against RECOMMENDATION and totalitarian tendencies
The 10th March of Dimes is now under way 1t may
well be the most significant held The
ment of a new program-POLIO PREVENTION-with
trial vaccine to be tested this year-may mean grim

Here is our chance to be good neighbors a nat

The following letter has been sent the vice pres
dent Of National Airnes. hope that other business
people will follow suit:
Mr.. John L. Morris, Vice President
National Airlines Inc
Miami, Florida.
Dear Mr. Morris:
As local business would like to intercede as
such in this dispute between National Airnes and
Monroe County Commissioners.
am sure that both sides feel that they right,
and that both right in some respects how
ever while this dispute is going the local business
houses here subject to the loss of that they
were anticipating to operate their business during this
season of the year.
With the same token the vacationer who travels by
air is also in the middle and cannot come to Key West
because there is only flight per day and he does
have the time to travel otherwise.
am OF the impression that as business people and
as the of the people of Monroe County
the duty OF both parties to get together and it
possible for anyone who wishes come to Key West by
air to be able to now-not until this dispute is
settled.
feel that it would benefit this community if a
moratory period could be set until plan could be put
into effect to benefit all concerned with the idea in
mind to further air travel into and of Key West

A TRIP FOR CHILDREN.
TWO QUERIES?

mrs. r. M. M, Arlington)
I'd like to help the reader
who wants to take a trip North
this summer with her chill
dren. and who would like to
know of interesting places to
visit. In 1852 McCalls Maya
zine issued for a quarter a
''Child's Guide to the United
States" and perhaps by writ
ing to them a copy might still
be obtained. However. / can
list a few places out of this
book that might be what she
is looking for. In Cairo, N. Y,
there is the Catskill Game
Farm: the Beaversprite Sane
tuary in Dolgeville, N. Y:
Bronx Zoo in the Bronx, New
York City: Lollipop Farm in
Syosset, L. I. with pet ami
mails in Mother Goose set
tings); the North Pole (Santa's
Workshop in Wilmington.
N. Y. In Connecticut there is
the Joseph Roller Animal
Farm in Killingworth. The
Roger Williams Park, a deer
park and children's museum
is near Providence, r. I. I can
give you more complete in
formation if you will write me
in care of RICH.
Now for two problems of my
own. We are thinking of buy
ing a luggage trailer, but are
wondering if we should get a
one or a two wheel one. We
don't know any one who has
ever had either, and would like
little information before we
buy. Also, what are the rules,
If any, on owning one?
Lastly, getting around to my
favorite subject, camping. Are
there any facilities for camp
ing in Canada near the border?
We would love to see Canada,
but only if it is not too far
and also if there are places
where camping Is allowed.
Where would we write for this
information?

TWO POEMS.
mrs. L. A. H., SilUer Spring.
I wonder if the readers of
the RICH can help me. I am a.
lover of poetry and a few years
ago I found a poem that I had
wanted for years because one
of the readers asked for it.
Now the poems I would like
are two very old ones. One Of
them begins like this:
Saint Peter stood guard ut the
With a solemn mind and an air
When Up to the top of the golden
A man and woman assembled
Another poem Cor perhaps it
isn't a poem) begins roughly
as follows:
Nov girls" said Aunt Katie,
, put on your dressing gowns
and do something sensible"

WASHING WALLS.
INNS. g. 81. Stlper Sprinrl

mrs. c. B.. SLIDER Spring.
I feel that I must come to
the defense Of the woman who
recommended ammonia for
washing walls. I've been wash
ing walls and woodwork with
it for many years and then
rinsing with vinegar. Our
enameled kitchen walls have
been washed twice a year for
three years and still look Won
derful. It will remove some
fiat paint. but so will mild
soap and water. I can't say
anything about the baking
soda. but the ammonia will not
