Edgar Hoover's warning mo- i Norietsto “watch out for hitch hikers.” peel TRat warning is especially applicable to drivers on SSS the Overseas Highway. It is a rare thing to make a trip to oseay from the mainland without running across men and, in SR instances, women standing along the roadside try- a. ing to thumb a ride. Let us say that in nine cases out of 10, or the percent- cot ageumay be placed higher, the thumbers are concerned only in getting the ride and not in beating up or robbing hd'Sometimes murdering drivers, yet anybody who picks up.a.man he does not know runs the risk of being assault- ed. A's Hoover says, the “warning was prompted by the increasing number of vicious’assaults by persons who had ‘been picked up from the roadside by kind-hearted motor- ists.” ; We may reverse the percentage and say that nine = “out of 10 thumbers would not be begging a vide on the Overseas Highway, or elsewhere in the country, if they * ‘Shad money enough to pay their bus fare to the destination ig st those who have it and, as ha been demonstrated om many scores of cases, it has roused desperation also to “Whe. point of assault and robbery and sometimes of ;mur- “fhat man you see thumbing at the roadside may inoffensive or may be a desperate character, Why run the risk of finding out what kind of man he is?

Thus we find, at the present time, in the early morn- ing, the planets Venus, Jupiter and Mercury and, in the evening, the luminous appearance of Mars and Saturn. You can gaze at these celestial visitors and forget your mundane affairs. At Teast, you can, if you are a bit philosophical and inclined to think. upon CETL E Cee Es Tete With a good crop of peaches promised us, 1951 may not be so bad.
