Beach and Bathing Pavilion. fer s POWER REVOLUTIONIZES FARM The productive record. of American farms: has gteatly increased, guarantee- ing to the people of this country an abun- dant diet and sufficient feed and fiber to make possible many of our modern opera- tions. -The matiufaecturers of farm machin- ery have receiitly issued a booklet explain- ing that the American farmer has moved froma miuscle-worker, cotnmanding 1.6 horsepower in 1870, to a director of en- gines and. machinery, commanding 33 horsepower, Back of the production mi- racle is. the age of mechanical power, which has made it possible for our farm- ers to go. beyond the produce-for-your- self type of agriculture. The use of mechanical power on the farms of this ¢buntry has just begun. Mechanization is fast becoming the rule and the implement makers are vying with eachother to develop new machines to ease the back-breaking labor of agricul- ture. Improved highways, electricity, tele- phones and radio service have combined to edftribute some degree of comfort to those who make our farm production pos- sible. ADVERTISING AT A DISCOUNT With income’ tax payments fresh in the minds of citizens and business men, we might call their attention to the fact that Business Gan secure a liberal discount on afVertising in 1951. Afly biisifiess which has to pay an in- come tak can spend a reasonable amount in advertising, with the government con- tributing, the amount of the tax. If profits are faxable to the extent of twenty per cent your advertising will cost you a net of offly eighty per cent of what you pay. We would not, of course, advise a busitfess man to throw away money on ad- vertiging schemes. He should carefully scrutimize advertising expenditures in or- der to be sure that he is not giving away moresthan the amount of the tax involved. _ Advertising has suffered tremendous- ly fr$in the snappy ideas of promotional salesfnen. It has been banged again and agai? by flamboyant copy that may fool * the Wusiness man but never fools the ad- vertiser. The old game of getting the ad- vertiser’s money, without caring a hoot abouf the results that follow, is taboo with most3reputable newspapers. Pt 7 Scenery may be interesting but it’s the pople that really count. m Nearly anybody can have an idea but futting it into motion is what makes the profits. s ih this day and generation there is so muchginformation that one finds it is diffi- cult & select what to believe. 3 2 It might not be a bad idea to televise the proceedings of Congress and let the people see and hear what goes on—even in committee meetings. U. N. PACTS NOT THE U. S$. IDEAL Carfoll Binder, forme? editor of The Minneapolis Tribiine, now delegate of the U.S. to the United Nations, complains that a powerful bloc is threatening to strike.a successful blow at freedom of in- formation. What irks Mr. Binder is that he was one of fifteen delegates, who recently at- tempted to draft a convention on freedom of information. Obviously, a8 the Ameri- ean representative, Mr. Binder was prac- tically the only man in the group who be- lieved in complete freedom in the gather- ing, transmission and publication of news. We do not know the composition of ‘the group, but it is a safe bet that it was, like most United Nations conferences, heavily weighed with those who have no conception whatever of Anglo-American freedom. The resulting work of the conference, stoutly opposed by Mr. Binder, would, in his opinion, “discredit, cireutmscrige and, if possible, outlaw our free practices.” We are not surprised. The people of the United States would be very foolish to expect any group, representing the con- glomerate membership of the United Na- tions, to frame any resolution, regarding a free press or other freedoms, in terms of, Americ¢an or English ideals. The simple fact is that the English-speaking contin- gent is always outnumbered and what emerges is, almost without exception, an exposition of the views of delegates who know little, and care less, about essential freedoms that we have learned to enjoy and for which we are ready to fight. The unfortunate situation is that ‘if the report of these delegates is accepted by the sixty members of the United Na- tions, there will be an international con- ference to write a final treaty. Notice the word, “treaty.” If such a treaty is written, it becomes a part of the fundamental legal structure of the United Nations organiza- tion and, if certain court decisions are up- held, a part of the basic law of the United States. The trouble with most reformers is that they cannot support any proposal except their own. “WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU GOT FLAT FEET + | KEY WEST NEWS Of Days Gone By Of The Key West Citizen MAAAAAAAAAAAACAAALAAAAAL 10 YEARS AGO All young white men residents, in Monroe County who are un-! employed and between the ages of 17 and 23% years are offered another opportunity to enrollgin the Civilian Conservation Corps.

CHILDHOOD MISHAPS While progress in the field of medi- cine has reduced deaths among children to a gratifying extent, the possible causes of accidental death have been increasing and not enough has been done to counter- act them. The result is that accidents are now the leading cause of death among children between 1 and 15 years old. Dr. George M.* Wheatley of New York, chair- man of the accident prevention commit- tee of the American Aeademy of Pedia« trics, likens the continuing high rate of accidental deaths to a rock being uncov- ered by an ebbing tide. What are the hazards’ which now threaten children, whose chiéf foe used to be disease? Motor vehicles and fire are the principal killers, accounting for al- most 65 per cent of all accidental deaths of children. Drowning, poisoning, falls and choking lead among other causes. Children’s doctors were told by Dr. Wheatley that they should become con+ cerned with the prevention of accidents as a continuation of the medical effort to protect children’s lives. But beyond the education of parents there is little doctors can do. Prevention of childhood accidents is almost entirely a proVince of parénts, who must be vigilant to keep children out of danger until they are old enough to learn, and then see to it that they leari and follow safe habits of play and living. Most parents know this, and certainly want to take every precaution. Probably the most common parental Shortcomings are failure to recognize perils in advance, and failure to give enough thought to guarding against them. The matches left within reach, the game of ball too close to the street, thé mieédiciné bottle available to small hands—these things so easily escape notice, unless the parent or other supervisor carefully trains himself always to think of danger and al- ways to look ior it. That is the key to sur- vival where danger is present.
