Page 2 THE KEY WEST CIT! IZEN “QPERATION HOLIDAY” (Continued from Page One) insist they weren’t driving too fast.” ; The fact remains that in most of the recent accidents, only one car was involved. Careless Fishermen He said that it wasn’t unusual to see fishermen sleeping on the bridge curbs and that it was a miracle that there weren’t more accidents involving them. “But it’s not their fault—it’s just that most people who drive this highway are careful when they * see someone fishing along the bridges.”” He told about a woman who stepped out in front of a car just as he was driving along in the opposite direction. The driver of the other car started to pull out to avoid hitting the woman and was forced to slam on his brakes at} the approach of the patrol car. She was highly indignant when reprimanded and said the driver was at fault because he was driv- ing too fast. F “She was just lucky,” Elliot said. “Sometimes these fishermen seem to forget that the highways are supposed to be for cars and not fishing.” Danger To Child Another woman crossed the road at the south end of Harris Gap bridge the other day and left her small child waiting for her. The toddler wandered across the high- way in front of Bennett and Elliot who were driving north on their regular patrol. f | It could have resulted in a tragedy if someone had been driv- ing a little too fast when the child started across the road. When asked why the Florida Patrol uses cars that are un- mistakable instead of less con- spicuous paint jobs, Bennett said, “Tt works both ways. When the average motorist sees one of our cars, he will automatically look at his speedometer, and if he is driv- ing a little too fast, he usually slows down, This alone could pre- vent an accident. Habitual Speeders “Sometimes, a habitual speeder, - one of those guys who gets under the wheel and takes off with just one thought in’mind—to get where he is going. just as fast as he pos- sibly can without being stopped by the Highway Patrol, gets real cagey, so we have to be cagey, too. “They don’t realize that it takes at least 270 feet to stop a car traveling 60 miles an hour. High speeds are especially dangerous at night because then you’re “‘out- driving” your headlights. “If. something , happens beyond the range of your lights it is al- most impossible to avoid an ac- cident, and suppose you're only going 70 miles an hour and are involved in an accident where someone is killed — that’s man- slaughter, and a manslaughter charge isn’t worth that extra ten miles of speed.” 4 Wrecked Car We took a look at three cars that were in accidents on the high- way. during the past month—they aren’t a pretty picture. In one of them the engine was on the front seat. Next time you go through Mara- thon, and think you have to hurry, stop for a few minutes and see for yourselves. The crumpled cars are the best argument f - watch- ing your speedometer you'll see for a long, long time.

Five accidents have occured at} the Roosevelt Boulevard triangle, near the Naval Hospital.

NATION PLANS (Continued from Page One) ence was preached and stoutly de-| fended. And several blocks away at the old state house, now a his- torical museum, the Declaration of Independence will be read by an honor student from Boston Latin School, the oldest school in the country. Fireworks In Capital A mammoth fireworks display will be set off July 5 at the grounds of the Washington Monu- ment in Washington D.C. This an- nual show usually draws thousands to the center of the nation’s cap- ital. . The nation’s first family—Presi- dent and Mrs. Eisenhower —will not be in town to see the sight. They plan a quiet holiday weekend |at Camp David, the presidential retreat in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland. Vice President Richard Nixon will be among the holiday orators. Today he goes to Somerset, Pa.,| to take part in the town’s ses- quicentennial celebration. Another celebration in western Pennsylvania will mark the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Ft. Necessity near Uniontown, Pa., which opened the French and Ind- | ian War. The speaker there will be Gen, George C. Marshall. California Plans On the other side of the country in California a huge firework dis- play will be touched off Sunday at the 103,000-seat Los Angeles Memo- nial Coliseum. The next day ano- ther big show will be staged at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl where 80,- 000 are expected. In.Texas the traditional Fourth of July celebration are rodeos and | cowboy reunions.

Y. —A special Air Force team today spearheaded an investigation of the wreckage of a jet fighter plane that crashed into a hamlet crossroads near here yes- terday and killed four persons on | the ground. The fuel in the rocket-laden F94c Starfire apparently exploded and set fires that destroyed an auto- mobile and two houses in tiny Walesville, about 11 miles south- west of Utica. None of the rockets exploded. The plane’s pilot, Lt. William E, Atkins, 24, of Dutton, Va., and the radar observer, Lt. Henry F. Cou- don, 26, of Perryville Md. bailed | out before the crash and escaped injury. Auto Passengers Killed were the three persons riding in the automobile Stanley Phillips 38, his wife, Florence, 32, and their son, Gary, 11, all of near- by Hecla and Mrs. Doris Monroe, |* 28, occupant of one of the houses. One-year-old Betty Lou Monroe was injured, apparently by flying debris. The plane was one of the two jets ordered up in a_ practice “scramble” flight from the 27th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Griffiss Air Force Base, Rome. A spokesman at the base gave this account of events leading up to the crash: The two planes were ordered by radio to check on an unidentified plane that had entered the area eugroet by the air defense opera- ion, The pilots were satisfied the air- craft was “friendly” and were headed back to their base, when fire broke out in the cockpit of Atkins’ plane. Both men stuck to the craft as long as they could, then Atkins ordered Coudon to bail out. He followed the other man over the side from about 7,000 feet. JUDGE GIBSON TELLS (Continued From Page One) of his living conditions. She be- lieves that this is directly a con- tributing factor to his delinquency. Before his uncle and grandmoth- er took over the boy had been liv- ing with his mother and four child- ren in a one room shack. The other boy in the jail break | first came to the attention of ju- |venile authorities when a neighbor | reported to the police the cruelty of | the mother to this little boy. When the report was investigated it was found that the family of the child lived in a disheveled shack in an alley. The child was found secur- ed to an iron bed by a lock and chain. Vandalism Results Judge Gibson states that this boy has been fighting his particu- lar situation since that time by acts vandalism. The boy has been |charged with cutting rubber hose of the local Convent into many pieces, stealing from parked cars, | staging a make-believe armed! robbery which netted him $2.15, breaking parking meters for nic! |els, and as a finale, participating | |in the jail break. Mrs. Gibson states that failure | of the boy to rehabiliate was direct- | ly due to the attitude of the child’s | | mother. | | “Our policy calls for a long per- | jiod of rehabilitation work here at} | ister plenipotentiary to the United | home where the boy or girl be- Siates and delegate to the United |!ongs. We need the help of welfare ports and say, “‘No accidents oc-| curred on the Overseas Highway during the weekend.” Hotel La Concha — Rainbow Dining Room SUNDAY and MONDAY Complete Dinner CHILD'S PLATE ee 7Se Roast Sirloin of Beef with Mushroom Sauce Virginia Baked Ham with Fruit Sauce Baked Filet of Gr Butter Roast Loin of Pork ouper with Lemon with Apple Sauce % oe Spring Chicken with Yellow e ci Broiled Chopped Steak, Onion Saute CHILD'S PLATE—Beef or Ham (Above Dinners include Salad, Dessert Soup, Vegetable, Potato, and Beverage) Nations, will accept the “train for | 8TUPS who will aid in changing | Korea” gifts, which range from |the attitude of delinquent chil-| aspirin tablets to trucks and trac- | dren so vandalism and other det- | tors. jrimental acts can be prevented.
