The Citizen wishes its subscribers a very happy and prosperous New Year. Insull had better watch out. His re- Tease may turn out to be « Greek gift, of which we are told to beware. “Stretched” is said to be the longest monosyllable in the English language. Evidently it is not possible to stretch a monosyllable any longer. Seven hundred tourists in Key West yesterday. ff inducements were offered many of them would remain on this de- lightful island for a longer stay. West Palm Beach has a millage of 835 for 1988, which is 15 time greater than it was for the past two years. How ean the taxpayers bear such a burden? i The year 1932, on its last legs, was not the wisest nor the wealthiest, but it was the. HEALTHIEST year in the history of Yital.statistics in this country. So long as we have our health, why worry? Tomorrow is St, John’s day. That’s the day all Mexicans teke a ‘bath. Had Edna, Ferber arrive. in Mexico the day after this day, she would probably not have asserted in her book on Mexico that its: inhabitants were filthy. =. The inscription on the New York post Gffice reads: ‘‘Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed roinds.” But the inscriber forgot all about thé holidays. Evidently the inseription is archaic. Many do not think that capital punish- ment is justifiable and believe it does not prevent nor even diminish crime, and: the French government thought the same thing, but soon after abolishing the guillo- tine, crime became rampant in France and the guillotine was reinstated. Florida is one of the 10 states that have never been represented in a presi- dent's cabinet, and it is just possible that the first will be a woman, and it won't take two guesses to find out whom is meant. It is also strange that Rhode Island, one of | the 18 original states has never had a member in the president’s cabinet. - - And without shedding a tear the Stuart Developer, weekly, has passed on. With the Daily News functioning regularly there was no field in Stuart for a weekly. Editor Menninger claims that msny years ago the Developer was given him by Howard Sharp an@ Herb Conkling, and they are respon- sible for him locating in Stuart.—Florida Newspaper News. = * Governor-elect Sholtz named four newspaper men as colonels on his staff. Ed Lambright, editor of the Tama Tribune, however, refused the appointment, having declined to serve on the staffs of two pre- | viqus governors. The Tribune advocated the election of one of the defeated can- Bidates for governor in the first primary, but took up the cudgels for the incoming governor in the second, NEW YEAR’S DAY January 1, marking the beginning of | the year, has been observed as a public | ' holiday for many eenturies, certainly in| | Rome since the reformation of the calendar by Julius Caesar in “the century before Christ. has resulted from the imperfections of various calendars, which caused skipping | of dates at various times, New Year’s Day } may be said to be merely an arbitrary designation. As late as 1752 the adoption of the Gregorian calendar by England and the American colonies caused a skip of 11) days. However, regardicss of the day des- | ignated as New Year’s at various times and in various countries, it has been. generally observed as a holiday. The Romans celebrated it with pro- cessions, abandonment of litigation and strife, exchanging of visits and of gifts, feasting and merry-making. Early fathers of the Christian church did not approve of these festivities, but recommended that the day be devoted to meditation, scripture reading and works of charity. But about the fourth century, when December 25 had been agreed upon for the observance of Christ's nativity, New Year’s Day, falling one week later, began to as- sume a sacred character as the anniversary of the circumcision, and as such. it still figures in the calendars of certain branches of the church.

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS FOR THE PEDESTRIAN While this is a good season for the motorist to’ determine that he will drive more carefully during 1933, it is also a proper time for the pedestrian to resolve that he will avoid those errors which ia 1931 killed 14,500 walkers and injured nearly 300,000. Maxwell Halsey, traffic engineer of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, has drawn up a set of { resolutions for the man-a-foot. They are: CITY I will not cross~a street when traffic lights are against me, nor will I cross diagonally or between intersections. T will not cross at intersections where there are no signals without looking to traf- fic. I will not come from behind parked cars without observing what is before me. I will not get on or off a street car without satisfying myself that my way is clear and I will not take it for granted that all motorists always obey all rules. I will not take a chance any place against a dangerous driver. COUNTRY I will not forget to walk on left side of road so that I can face on-coming cars. I will not cross at a sharp curve or just at the brow of a steep hill where 1! cannot see what is coming. I will not forget to allow for a swerve of a car on rough roads, giving all vehicles | plenty of room. I will not forget when I drive how 1} feel when I'am walking. Follow these instructions and be “safe walker.” a) Language is peculiar. It is quite proper to say that you “water a horse,” but jer, Ouse Johnson. not that you milk the cat when placing the } lactiferous fluid before the feline. ‘Wonder what word the Greeks have for releasing Insull and refusing their debt te the United States.
