WHY INVITE A THIEF TO STEAL YOUR AUTOMOBILE? Do you leave the doors of your home open when you go to bed at night, so that a burglar will have no troyble to enter it to steal? You may say that is a silly question, but it is not silly when applied as an illustration to this question, do you leave your key in the ignition slot in your car when you park it? Leaving the doors of your home open at night is no greater an incentive to a burglar to enter it to steal than |}, leaving the key in your car is to a thief to steal your car. Every day 540 cars are stolen in the United States, ac- cording to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The thefts total 197,100 cars a year. It is true that if you lock the doors and windows of your home at night, burglars still may break into it, and it is true also that if you don’t leave your ignition key in your bcar and lock your ear besides, it still may be stolen. But, as this editoriaf is about car-stealing, everybody knows that it is far easier to steal a car, with the ignition key in it, than it is to take a car without the key. However expert a thief may be, it takes time to break the ignition wires and then tie them together to form’a circuit. Only a Professional car thief steal cars in that. way. As a rule, when a man steals a car with a key in it, he intends only to go for a “joy ride.” He walks along a street, looking at ignition slots for keys, and the first one he sees he enters the car and drives off. The key is a temp- tation to him to steal. No record has been given of the number of stolen cars that had keys in them, and one person’s guess is as good as another. So far as The Citizen knows, every car that has been stolen in ey West, with minor exceptions, had a key in it. So many people leave keys in their cars, thereby greatly increasing the number of car thefts, some cities, in- cluding Atlanta, have passed ordinances making it a mis- demeanor for anybody to leave the key in his car when he parks it. Policemen make the rounds of parked cars, and a summons to owners to appear in court is attached to each car that has a key in the slot. It is not easy to make careless people careful, but the imposition of a fine or two will accomplish that purpose in| wishes to extend to you and your | most cases, Why give an invitation to a thief to steal your car?

Dan McCarty, after nearly three weeks in the hospital recuperating from a heart attack, said Monday he is ready to go home, take it easy and do what the doctors tell him to do. He is scheduled to leave the hos- Pital Wednesday. Talking to reporters for the first time since he was stricken Feb. 25, the 41-year-old governor said he gave up smoking even before his doctor advised him to do it and he has no complaints. “I’ve made up my mind I'll nev- er complain any more,” he said. | Not even about the “no salt, no fat” diet that he finds unpalatable. Although opening of the Legis- jlature is only three weeks away, the governor said he thinks prep- aration of his program for pres- entation to the lawmakers has not been set back by his illness. “It was pretty well complete when this thing happened,” he | commented. What did he think was the big contributing cause of his heart at- tack? The governor hesitated. “It wasn’t worry,” he declared. “I think it was just the fact that I was on the go all the time. If ~——ewee i you're not careful you just find yourself completely scheduled ev- ery day in the week and you never have a chance to relax.” McCarty had been on the go al- most constantly for the first two and a half months of his adminis- tration—and much of the year of fairs before that. But his attack has convinced him {he won’t be able to keep it up when he leaves the hospital and gets back to work. “You have to take some time off, and I'm going to try to do NOTICIAS DEL FERRY A juzgar por las noticias, que) nos llegan de La Habana y las | que amablemente nos suministra el buen amigo Mr. Fred Dion, | Vicepresidente de la Gulf Atlan-} tic Transportation Company, pro- | pietaria del ferry “Reina de Cu-| ba,” parece que en esta ocasion | va a ser cierto que, posiblemen- | te, a mediados del actual aito, | tendremos ya en servicio el cita-| do ferry, entre este querido pue- blo y la Capital cubana. Hace poco el Honorable Sr. Pé-, rez Benitoa, Subsecretario de Ha- cienda de Cuba, sostuvo una am- plia entrevista con los lideres de los trabajadores portuarios de aquella Capital, Uegando a un acuerdo, que ha sido profusa- mente dado a conocer por la prensa y por la radio, de que esos trabajadores convinieron en acep- tar ese ferry, sobre la base de que solo lleve carros y pasajeros, sin que sea utilizado para conducir carga en vagones, con destino al! interior qde la Republica. Como es natural, esta noticia nos llena de jubilo y ha de hacer) el mismo efecto a los residentes | del Cayo, asi como a los vecinos | de todo el pais, que tendran la} oportunidad de visitar a Cuba, | llevando sus propios carros, ha-/| Towns On NOTAS CUBANAS Por RAOUL ALPIZAR POYO ‘citado barco, que desde hace tiempo, esta amarrado en el muelle de la ciudad de Jacksonville. Como cubanos y como residentes de -este pueblo, esta noticia nos alegra sobremanera, ya que ten-! |dremos una nueva via de comuni- cacién con la patria, ademas de |la muy eficiente y ciudadosa, que ha venido realizando la Aerovias “Q,” compafiia de aviacién cuba- na, que puso al Cayo en el mapa, cuando las necesidades de la otra guerra nos sacé violentamente del mismo. Y es nuestra opinién, que ambas empresas obtendran ganan- cias y haran buenos negocios, sin lesionarse mutuamente en lo ab- soluto. Para los que disfruten solamente del llamado “week-end,” el avién sera utilizado, ya que con el mismo se obtiene mayor tiempo en La Habana. Para los otros, que sin prisa, buscan el entretenimiento de un viaje cémodo, disfrutando de los aires del mar, pasando las seis horas divertidos, escuchando buena musica etc., para esos, el ferry sera el seleccionado para la visita a Cuba. La implantacién de ese impor- tante servicio, dara trabajo a un buen numero de residentes en este | Cayo.

Hay un gran percentaje de personas, tanto en Cuba, como en este gran pais, que viajan en avion, por necesidad, cuando no hay otra manera de hacerlo, por el natural pavor que les produce la frecuente lectura de acciden- tes aéreos, olvidandose que las estadisticas de las mas serias compafias de seguros del mundo entero, muestran que la manera mas segura de viajar y en la que ménos accidentes ocurren, es | precisamente por el aire. Este ferry, que al principio se} Mamé CARIB QUEEN y_ que} ahora se denomina “REINA DE CUBA,” ha de venir a llenar una importante mision de acercamien- to entre ambos paises, que contribuira grandemente, a hacer mas estrechos y durables los grandes vineulos de amistad y de gratitud, que unen a ambos paises. A juzgar por los anuncios que ha venido publicando. la com- pahia propietaria del mencionado barco, este tiene capacidad para acomodar en su interior, novecien- | tos pasajeros, doscientos automo- viles y treinta camiones o trailers. | Si esto es asi, Cayo Hueso ha} de ser muy pronto el centro del turismo que vaya a Cuba, ya que desde aqui podran esos viajeros ir a la capital cubana, dentro de/ sus propios carros. Con respecto al precio de los pasajes, se ha hablado mucho, pero hasta el presente, Ja men-) cionada Compafiia no ha dicho en} definitiva, la cuantia de los mis- |. mos. El Banco de Fomento Agricola | e Industrial de Cuba, organismo oficial del Gobierno, ha prestado| a la compafia propietaria del ferry, la suma de dos millones de! previa transaccién legal, ajustada a los canones e interes- es, que en esta clase de préstamos, | son usuales. Por eso ahora es cuando hay! grandes probabilidades de que sea una realidad, lo que tanto se ha dicho y publicado, muchas veces | partandose de la verdad y que, » | segaramente, todo ello ha sido la | causa de que tardase tanto en ‘obtenerse el préstamo necesario facilidades, los turistas empiecen | dentes del Cayo, perfectos cenoce- dores de ambas costumbres y gustos, los americanos y los ¢cu- banos. Estimamos que para este pais ha de ser mas provechoso este servicio de transporte, ya el que maneja un automovil en la Capital cubana, con sus calles estrechas, la enorme cantidad de transite existente alli, le sera muy facil hagerlo en este pais, donde la: reglas que -rigen el transito, tant publico urbano, como por carre- tera, son tan faciles, que los choferes de Cuba,’se sentiran ¢6- modos en el timén. Tal vez no ocu- rra lo mismo, con los que aqui manejan sus carros, al encontrarse jen La Habana, con todas las difi- cultades, los clasicos “‘tranques” lete., que constantemente encuen- ‘tran los choferes en la Capital. De todos modos, siempre ha de redundar en miutuo beneficio para ambos paises, el establecimiento de esa linea de comunicacién mari- tima.
