Our good friend, Colonel N. NJ.
Michaelson, had contacted Jess
Tucker, Jr. to act as our guide
while in the area. Jess did q super
job of it. He made lifelong friends
when he invited the Scouts to IVA
ter ski at his home.
Here was our second Sunday and
we attended Mass at St. Joseph's
Church. The Protestants Scouts at
tended the Methodist Church.
That evening we went to a movie
in Sarasota. Monday we paid q
visit to the John and Mable Mu-
scum of Art.
Tuesday we visited the museums
in Bradenton and in the afternoon
we visited the Museum of the Am
erican Circus and Horns Cars of
Yesterday. We had visited all the
attractions that we had planned,
so instead of staying in Bradenton
another day we prepared to take
off day earlier.
Upon arriving in Fort Myers, we
contacted the Chairman of the Lee
County Commissioners, and obtain
ed their permission to camp at the
Fair Grounds, which we enjoyed
tremendously. For the second time
on the tour, we permitted the
Scouts to take in a movie.
Our anticipation of the beach at
Fort Myers was more, than it
should have been because the
Scouts were disappointed. They
thought that here, too, they would
have the surf to swim in, but alas
and alack there was no surf! But
the swimming and summing was en-
joyed by everyone.
That afternoon everyone had
"free time" - time to do what
he wanted. Some bought souvenirs
for home - some wrote cards
home. Some sneaked around and
bought ice cream and candy -
knowing that some would overeat
ice cream and candy, bought a
bottle of Castor Oil - but we didn't
need it.
We didn't intend to leave Fort
Myers so soon but we decided that
maybe the Everglades were more
interesting. Stopping for lunch, we
heard that the snakes were seek
ing higher ground in the 'Glades
because of the heavy rains.
We decided to 60 into Snapper
Creek Camp and ask the Camp Di-
rector, Paul Brick, if he would let
us camp overnight on the Athletic
Field.
At this point we lost 'Uncle"

NEW BRUNSWICK. NJ. R -
The motorcycle cop long regarded
by motorists as a kill-joy, isn't
yet as rare as the cigar store
Indian.
But he is rapidly disappearing
from Americas great highways.
"We don't use motorcycles at
ALL" said Brig. Gen. w. w. Wane-
maker, executive director of the
11S-mile New Jersey Turnpike.

couldn't do the job for u.s."
His force of rs state cops all use
patrol cars. The Jersey turnpike
a. a result is now the most heavily
policed as well as the heaviest
travelled road Of its kind in the
nation. 1t is now also one of the
safest.
"This year we have reduced
traffic fatalities to 2.42 per 100
million vehicle miles, said Gen.
Wanamaker, cas- compared to a
rate Of 6.6 for national public
highways.
"The improved safety can be
explained by two things-better po-
Icing and the fact the public is
showing more sense. They have
learned how to drive safely on
turnpikes, and the novelty of using
them as racetracks has worn off. "
The modern highway cop would
like to be regarded more as a
good samaritan for motorists rath-
er than as guy who does nothing
but ambush speeders. The figures
bear them out.

monses for speeding" said 1t
