pers and tourists-the short
term parkers. The other is to
try to make speeded-up bus and
streetcar service more attractive
to commuters.
Here are the specific steps for
trying to reach those goals:
l.. Work toward a greater stag
gering Of the hours Government
employees report for work. This
would cut down the number of
travelerSon the road at any one
time.
2. Enforce more strongly the
one-hour limits regulated by curb
parking meters. This would free
spaces for more shoppers, tour
lists and businessmen.
8. Expand fringe parking as
one step to Change the driving
habits" of commuters. Reduce
downtown curb parking proper
tionately.
4. Eliminate even one-hour curb
parking on any streets where it
holds up moving cars, streetcars
and buses. Especially on streets
where the jams are caused by
double-parking.
S. Stronger efforts by mer-
chants and parking-lot opera
tors to exploit the availability of
off-street parking spaces.
6. Encourage more off-street
facilities at trouble spots which
still need them.
Rights Not Challenged.
The Commissioner made it
plain that he does not challenge
the right of motorists to drive to
work. But he contends that the
motorist who does must prepare
to pay for storing his car off the
street. Already, all-day curb
parking is banned in most of the
central area. \
Drastic off street parking
shortages which faced the city
half-dozen years ago have
been virtually wiped out. The
progress has been made entirely
by private enterprise, without
bitter conflicts which have
marked cities that have entered
the private parking business with
competing municipal lots.
Traffic volumes alone attest
to the popularity of driving. even
in downtown congestion. A sur
vey by The Star of parking lot
patrons. all-day commuters and
shoppers alike. indicates the ex-
ira cost is'not a deciding factor.
Gen. Prentiss hopes the new
program will make mass transit
riding more attractive. But re-
gardless of the converts it makes
it also Is designed to ease pres
ent conditions.
Proposals for parking reforms
and direct moves to crack traf-
fic jams have been kicked
around for years. Many have
called for more drastic steps
than those outlined last week.
But a check by The Star of
merchants, parking lot opera
tors, transit officials and auto
mobile interests brought general
agreement that Gen. Prentiss'
thinking Is a step in the right
direction.

You get a lot of complaints

business. Many times we feel
that they are unjustified but ev-
cry now and then one comes
along that you just simply have
to take your hat off. bow down
and apologize.
Such was the case with Har-
old Hulk last week. About a
month ago we ran a notice of
Harold's engagement. The story
was supposed to have been run
in our Loris paper also but by
some mistake in the usual hurry
and scurry it didn't get in the
Loris Sentinel.
So, the next week the story
was set again and tabled for
the Loris paper. But mistakes
have a way of repeating them
selves, and the engagement again
appeared in the Tribune and not
in the Sentinel.
This was nightly embarrassing
when Harold called it to our
attention. We assured him we
were sorry and that it would be
in the Loris paper the following
week and not in the Tribune.
Then came the time for real
apologizing. That next week sure
enough it appeared in the Loris
paper but there it was again in
the Tribune. Thus for three con-
secutive weeks Harold didn't
like it bit because it was get
ting rather embarrassing to both
him and his fiancee. Miss Smithy
