Citizen is an open forum and invites discus- sion of public issues and subjects of local or general interest but it will not publish anonymous communi- cations. The world is troubled by people who don’t know when to stop. A -hutidred years makes a big differ- ence in the perplexities of civilization. The man who says “yes” is just as im- portant to progress as the man who says “no,” Highway fatalities are increasing but nobody seems. to be concerned about the matter, As we see it, the dictator nations of the world keep asking for it and sooner. or later they are going to get it. Most people spend to much time try- ing to regulate other people’s affairs. Your own should~keep you well occupied. Men-inelined to overweight seldom believe that they eat enough food to cause the excess poundage; they still believe in fairies. fa Cree. ince a President Roosevelt is not pitching so well these days; he got less applause than Dizzy Dean at the All-Star game in Wash- ington. We are sorry to see that automobiles are killing more people than ever. It’s get- ting so you never know whether you will see your friends again, Those senators who were elected on the coattails of the president cannot do anything else except follow the leader, or be considered ungrateful by him, with its punitive consequences in the wake. The Hatch-Robinson compromise court bill, now being bitterly fought on the sen- ate floor, is merely a detour, camouflaged by subtlety.. In the end it accomplishes the same purpose of scuttling the supreme court. Senator Wheeler, staunch demo. erat of the old school, calls the new court bill a “slow motion” process to achieve the President's desire, While there is still progress in church membership, it has been retarded by secular, civic and county chest funds ad- ministered by business men and_ social workers, leaving little of a material nature to offer its members. Now that a pater- nalistic government has taken over a vast part of relief, further arrest to increased membership may be expected. By an overwhelming majority the American people elected President Roose- ve he is-presumptious in stating that this Ay = a mandate endorsing his every will. Ohi reference to the Supreme ont. Reergenization plan, this column contends with confidence that there is no considerable’ body of citizens supporting ‘the juditiary bill. People in general are either indifferent or absolutely hostile. Since Mr. Roosevelt has asserted that re- sponsibility in the matter rests “squarely on the Congress,” the least he can do is to let Congress discharge that responsibility according to their own conviction without political pressure from the White House or the crack of Mr. Farley's patronage whip, which for one. Senator McCarran has defied in a recent speech in the Senate. ‘ HOW ABOUT LITTLE FAIRS? The sum of three million dollars has been voted by Congress for participation by the United States in the New York World’s Fair and half the amount has been provided for use in connection with Fed- eral representation in the Golden Gate Ex- position. The Citizen has no disposition to criticise the appropriations made for these purposes. Presumably the money will help the American citizens who are fortunate | enough to view these expositions on the two oceanic coasts of the nation. H There are, however, in this country hundreds of worthwhile fairs every year staged in many counties, and visited in the aggregate by millions of people who have little or no knowledge of the workings of their government. It would seem equally feasible for the Federal government to ap- propriate a few million dollars annually to participate in these fairs, Assuming that the same amount was available for the purpose the Federal gov- ernment would be brought home to these millions, many of whom will have no op- portunity of attending the larger exposi- tions. The exhibit might be educational and include the presence, of experts to ex- plain governmental activity in Behalf of the people, both workers on the farms and in the industria] plants of the, natign, In fact, the government ought to get a good return on the money expended in» staking part in a thousand of the best of the na- tion's annual community and regiona) fairs. ATTACKING CANCER Killing around 140,000 persons every year in this country, cancer is worrying medical men in Key West as well as in every section of the United States. With 400,000 victims suffering from the unexplained and malignant disease, doctors and surgeons realize the task ahead of them and that unless the public is educated to the need of early surgical eare the hopelessness of what they will be expected to accomplish, Dr. Thomas Parran, Jr., Surgeon Gen- eral of the United States, says that cancer is one of our most urgent health problems. In 1900 it was responsible for 64 deaths per 1000,000 population and in 1935 the ratio had moved up to 107.0 although, in the same period, the general death rate dropped from 17.6 to 10.7 per cent. He in- sisted that if existing conditions continue, one out of every ten babies born in the United States will die of cancer! Congress is expected to pass a bill to provide a million dollars a year to the Pub- lic Health Service for a nation-wide fight on cancer and Dr. Parran says logical approach will be two fold: in- creased research to extend knowledge of the cause and prevention of cancer and the better application of present knowledge in earlier diagnosis and better treatment. HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE AL MUO ERI We do not vouch, for, the. correciness of his figures, but a recent writer declares that 100,000 miles of hard surfaced Amer- ican roads must be reconstructed: in the next few years, or they, will be unfit for use. Some engineers estimate that before 1952, or within 15 years, all our present | highways will have to be rebuilt. | Even allowing for some exaggeration of the situation, the prospect is rather dis- couraging. It appears that most of our highways will be ruined before they are | paid for, as many road bond issues \ still | have many years to run before maturity. There is no doubt that their rapid de- ran terioration is due largely to the damage | caused by unreasonably heavy trucks and | busses. These destructive vehicles bridges, but are a nuisance and a menace ; to all other traffic. } No one would object to the use of the. j reads by trucks of reasonable size and | weight, but the enormous ones which now | | infest the highways should be abolished | at the earliest possible moment. Legisla- | tion te this end is being adopted in many | states, and while the truckmen are protest- ing they have no one but themselves to biame. By trying to “hog” the roads and de- j stroy them at the same time they have | little cause for complaint if the taxpayers ; demand protection for the highways they i 1 j ihave built at such a burdensome expense. that. the} not; { only break up our roads and weaken our.

People all over the United State are just awaiting the word that the road is open to. traffic all the way and then automoblies will be pouring into Key West by the thousands.
