~ was y SUNNY AICcTuOOu
for everyone but me. The
braSSy god Of blue skies
threw long cubist shadows of
skyscrapers across Manhat-
tan. On the streets, the
toothpaste traffic squeezed
slowly through the tube. I
picked a moment like that
to lose my mind.
1T WAS A DAY like any
other except that I was
dreaming. Ipulled away from
the curb and on a green light,
swung west into Fiftieth
street. This is an ordinary
maneuver, except that Fiji
tieth street is an eaStbound
street.
AS I made the turn, I saw
o number of automobiles
coming toward me, and I
thought: "Boyoboy. are they
going to catch it when the
policeman sees them" How
could so many drivers be so
stupid at the same time?
The front of my car got into
Fiftieth street, and the back
was PARKWAY across Madison
avenue when I realized that
something was wrong with
my mentality.
I stopped. At once, a sym
phony Of horns began The
Etude To Night Court, Opus
One. Some Of the cars on
Madison tried to move
around behind me, and got
caught in the northbound
traffic. This tied everything
so neatly that no one could
move. The horns became
louder and, in the din, q
cab driver stuck his head
out the window and said:
"You nuts or something?"
I said yes.
I looked south on Madi-
son and saw two policemen.
1t was 4 pm. and they were
coming on duty. The big
one smiled at me, almost
paternally.
"Take your time, buddy
boy" he said. "It may take
me fifteen minutes to write
out all the violations"
He was helpful. He stopped
traffic four ways, and then
began to route some of the
cars from behind me. Then,
with a little bow, he asked
me to back up and pull over
to the curb. The car would
not start. The automatic
choke became unautomatic.
Don't rush." the policeman
said. I'm on until mid
night"
The engine started, and I
backed up, swung left, and
pulled into the curb. The
policeman said pleasantly:
II was just talking to a po-
liceman about the lieuten-
ant. He's a very tough gen.
tleman, this lieutenant.
When we lined up before
coming out on duty, he took
us apart for not writing UP
traffic violations. He called
us names, practically.
Then he walked down the
line, and asked to see my
summons book. He looked at
1t and called me a bad ex-
ample for the traffic divi-
sion. I haven't written a sum-
mons since last May. So you
can see, mister, I felt pretty

THE COUNCILS VIEW
There are many good rea-
sons why teen-agerS should
not marry. This does not
mean, however, that it is i'm
possible for teen-agers to
make q success of marriage.
Many OF these teen-age
marriages are made because
the boys and girls are not
emotionally m ature. They
do not want to do the one
thing needed to make a sue
cess of marriage-learn dis
cipline and unself1shnesS.
Belle is more concerned
about bemoaning her fate
and taking it out on herself.
her children and her husband
than making something good
of her marriage. AS an ex-
cuse for her failure she pre-
sents the fact that she was
married too young. From CIV
ing way to her illusions she
has progressed to giving in
to her disillusion.
We think that Bernard is
on the right track when he
says that crying g about
marrying too young is only to
pile error upon error.
Belle should recognize that
although her lot is by no
means easy, Bernard also
shoulders an enormous re-
sponsibility. A young man
who has kept his family sup
piled with all the necessities
and some luxuries deserves
some of the compensations Of
married life.
