A SEE-SAW STORY - Will the
famous "yo-yo" case finally be set
tied? The problem is all about
building a new railroad terminal
for the Florida East Coast Railroad
in Miami. The railroad has been
in ~receivership since the memory
of most of us, and in this shape the
law won't let them spend money
for a new station. The present
wooden building was built some
where around 1890 and was de-
signed for a small town of 1000.
Today, the rickety building in
Miami is a joke.
But, just try to build a new one!
Local authorities referred the pro-
blem to the State Public Utilities
Commission. They said, mo jul
risdiction'', and passed it "up" to
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. sThey studied the Federal
Bankruptcy Act and passed it back
down" to the State. The State
said they were powerlesS to act
and passed it down" to the local
folks. This process has gone on
for SO long Cup and DOWN that
the local papers have called it the
"yo-yo" case.
For four. years, Congressman
Dante Fascell has been trying to
get Congress to amend the Bank
ruptcy Act to take care of the case.
But, since this is the only case like
it Zone other in California; Con.
gress didn't want to change the
law. Then, last week, Fascell's per-
sistence was rewarded. The Act
was changed. Now maybe repeat
maybe something can be done
about building a new railroad
station in Miami.
PHILADELPHIA SPEECH
Everybody will agree that anything
we can do for the blind is a worthy
effort. But, there is no unified
program for these unfortunates.
There are any number of organiza-
tons dedicated to the task, but
each goes its own way. They often
duplicate their labors, Congress
Sman Billy Matthews, himself the
first chairman of the Florida Coun-
ell for the Blind, has been trying
to bring a bit of order out of the
present chaos. He has a bill pend
ing before the House that would
set up a temporary National Advi,
sorry Committee for the Blind. This
committee would study all of the
agencies now aiding the blind and
come up with suggestions for max
ing the work more effective. Last
week he was invited to be the
principal speaker in Philadelphia
before the convention of the Pro
fessional Workers for the Blind to
explain his proposed program. As
a result, he has another organiza-
ton willing to back his bill.

THE PROBLEM

MRS. n. H.--Nora's boy
friend doesn't believe IN con-
vention and morality.
NORA HE is the most
interesting boy / know.
THE DETAILS
Mrs. r.. H.-My husband
and / are just about frantic
about our 18-year-old daugh-
ter. Nora.
We are respectable people
and have given her a fine
bringing-u Now we find she
is going out with one Of the
worst boys in town. boy
who is believed to have gotten
one Of the girls here into
trouble about a year ago.
This boy is a smart -aleck
type and talks a big line
about the fact that he doesn't
believe in convention and
mortality. he says this
straight to our faces and yet
my daughter insists upon GO
ing out with him. We are
frightened to death every
minute she spends with him.
Nora H.-Randy does talk
a big line. What my parents
don't understand is that it is
all talk and nothing more.
That rumor about him and
the other girl was just silly.
She was a tramp and every
one knew it. Randy went out
with her a few times, as did
most of the boys around here.
But he certainly wasn't re-
sponsible for what happened.
] have gone out quite a bit
and ! know what I'm about.
Randy is the most interesting
boy ! know. He can talk
about a lot Of things. He
reads a lot and is always full
of theories. I'm not serious
about him and ! don't think
he is about me.
I think my parents ought
to trust me.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
From both statements, it
appears that Randy is a very
immature boy and somewhat
irresponsible. but possibly not
quite as dangerous as the
r. HIS fear.
The fact that this boy is
willing to discuss his ''theo-
ries" Of conventionality and
morality with the parents Of
the girl he is dating is a prob
able indication that he is
more filed with wind than
evil intentions. He probably
works of a lot of his steam
by talking.
We use the word prob
ably" advisedly. Eventually
Randy will work up the
courage to act on his theo-
ries-unless his ideas change.
At that time he will prob
ably do less talking to
parents. r
We don't think this boy is
the best influence for Nora
and she should be guided
toward a better understand
ing Of what constitutes matu-
rity. character and Interest,"
