Community Auditorium. 1 2. MOST DANGEROUS ROOM Those attending the third Annual Safety Institute in New York recently heard an expert testify that the most dangerous room in the house is the kitchen. This is true he- cause of appliances which often require a constant flame and others which are also dangerous. Home-owners were warned against the use of cer- tain cleaning fluids, in the kitchen, the wearing of frilly things by the housewife, whe works near a stove, and the placing of inflammable materials near the range. They were also cautioned to keep at least one fire-extinguisher handy in the kitchen, We have often observed that the kitchen could be a very dangerous place for careless hands, Not only is there a major danger of burning, but too often there is a dan- ger that children might somehow lock themselves inside a refrigerator. Thus, of all the rooms in your house, the kitchen probably demands more thought and more atten- tion from you if you would make your home as safe as possible. Most people, unfortunately, think about it too late. . A lot of businesses could increase profits by reducing profit margins and increasing volume, In case you didn’t know it, lawyers — in colonial times — had very little social standing. The editor is under no delusion that these barbs are the ultimate and welcomes your criticisms, We wonder how long it will be before someone sells the secret of the hydrogen bomb to the Russians, This Christmas you might try to find the spirit of the holiday, and if you do, it will be a better Christmas. The Church, as an institution, deserves your support, not because it is perfect, but because it strives in the right direction, Christmas is fast reaching the stage where it is an or. qeal to practically everyone but the children, because of the over-commercialization, Yet we enjoy the ordeal, Smathers Finds People Are Expecting Taxes Lightened WASHINGTON: (Dictated from Somewhere in Florida): In my visiting around the state I have found that people confidently expect the near future to bring some relief to the taxpayers with regard to the burdens of govern- ment. Those to whom I have talked about my own hopes for revising and adjusting the tax load have proved enthusiastic conversationalists on the sub- ject. As everyone recognizes, the policies of the incoming Adminis- tration will to a large extent dictate the type of tax program which the Congress will have to adopt but there are a great many detailed aspects of any new tax legislation upon which the in- dividual member of Congress can make an imprint. There are two aspects to the tax program which have a major impact upon the American home which I hope to see improved and I will intro- duce legislation (1) to make it possible for a working mother to charge as business expense the cost of nursing and similar home- making costs which are peculiar to the independent working mother and (2) to revise the formula for deducting from tax- able income medical expenses. I do not think the present percent- age formula gives a fair and pro- portionate consideration to these unusual costs which weigh so heavily upon so many families. I am already having bills drawn to cover the aforementioned sub- jects and I expect to be active on the Floor when a new tax bill comes before the Senate for con- sideration. NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE: Had a very flattering civic club crowd at Daytona Beach the other day (thanks to such good friends as Chick Riegle, Bill Moesser and Sax Lloyd) and afterwards enjoyed a visit with Herbert Davidson, Editor of the Daytona Beach News Journal. al-! though I was not particularly surprised to see that his paper didn’t give any space to my speech there whereas May Horn- er’s DeLand Sun News gave it unusually generous coverage . . At DeLand, enjoyed visits with my old friends, Carl Reynolds, John O'Neill and Max Acree; | found plenty of spirit in the foot- ball squad where I had a brief workout under the direction of my old friend Jay Patee and As- sistant Coach Johnson the former star quarterback whom I had recommended to the Washington Redskins professional team but who chose to remain at Stetson instead. Enjoyed Congressman Syd Herlong’s fine speech to the Quarterback Club whe introduced by Pres ng. Enjoyed the 1 enroll hor member of the Retired Federal Workers of Flor- | ida in recognition of my efforts | last year on the federal annui- tants legislation . . . At Leesburg nt intro- y goed fri many othe: Kirk had a hor with R. L. and Gorden Dean of the Herald. Had breakfast with Brailey Odham and Malcolm Mc- Neil before taking off for Or- lando where I met many friends and had a physical checkup (the doctors say I am in excellent shape after some eight weeks on the fried chicken circuit)... Took Thanksgiving off to eat turkey with my mother’ and father and then drove to Plant City joining many good friends including Gerald Patten, R. R. Abbott, Congressman-Elect Court- ney Campbell and Sheriff-Elect Ed Blackburn at the strawberry festival. Was proud that in auc- tioning off the first pint of str: berries I brought in $1,530 goes into the polio fund... day night was dinner guest at Tampa of the West Coast Chap- ter of Sigma Delta Chi, journal- ism fraternity.

APPRECIATION EXPRESSED Editor, The Citizen: Before closing the books on this campaign, I want to express my appreciation for your support of Governor Stevenson’s candidancy. We did not have what you might call overwhelming support from the press and your endorsement was especially welcome. I know you will agree with me that Governor Stevenson conducted one of the finest. campaingns of expres: read. (® — The di-} | voreed husband of the late actress | | Susan; Peters was left a portion | recent times, and has fulfilled our expectations of him. He has emerg- ed from the campaign as one of the truly great leaders of America. This is attested by the fact that he has received nearly 27 million votes-millions beyond the tetal cast Yor any other unsuccessful candi- date for the Presidency. With best personal regards, Cordially, WILSON W. WYATT CYCLIST CAUTION ASKED Editor, The Citizen: A recent issue of The Citizen carried an item concerning the plight of cycle riders in this city. May a driver have a few well chosen words in behalf of his fellow motorists? Chief complaint we motorists have against bike riders is this: the majority of cyclists com- pletely disregard any and all traffic regulations. It is not at all unusual to see a couple of riders abreast going the wrong way on one way streets. Drivers give hand and light signals as to their driving intentions; said signals are blithely ignored by the chap on two wheels. At times autos must come to a complete halt to avoid striking a bicycling nincompoop as_ two, three or more ride abreast four or five feet apart on our narrow streets. Poor guy—the motorist, } tax ridden for everything that can be thought of — seems to have no business even being al- lowed on the street. ridden bicycles being at night without benefit of a reflector of | j any description, much less a light. I ask, is that giving a motorist a fair break? Let an accident oc- cur and the hapless driver gets it in the neck. Figures prove that the large majority of bicycle-auto accidents are caused by careless riding. Mr. Average Cyclist calmly cuts in and out of lines of traffic, trusting to Providence and good driving to keep his neck whole. Please, all drivers are not as careful as next cycle-auto accident may be Time and|j time again this writer has seen | j they should be, the! -PEOPLE’S FORUM Accidents are costly in misery and money. It makes no differ- ence who is to blame, the cost must be paid by both parties and their families. Very often both motorist and | cyclist or pedestrian are to blame | for an accident. Therefore we must, each and every one of us, | be constantly on guard against the carelessness of ourselves and others. A moment of shrill outery, the smash of steel against a body, the crunch of broken bones, and a lifetime of remorse and regret may follow a moment's lapse. Please be careful. Name withheld. New Guinea has been so little | explored by white men, that even today, explorers flying over the island find stone age villages whose inhabitants never have seen a Eu- ropean, says the National Geo- graphic Society.
