It was decided at that time that the clearing of the coral should come first. As the shadows lengthenes the following evening people gathered in the center of the court carrying takes and shovels with the men turns at pushing a wheel- barrow furnished by the manage- ment of Sigsbee Park, along with other toils. Soon nearly 40 persons ranging in age from two to 50 years were picking up, stacking, or hauling rocks to huge piles which furnish- ed three truckloads of coral that was hauled away the next morn- Nightly the work has gone on until at the present time over rem gerrers on the ground has been cleared. Fourteen truckloads have been removed from the area | to date. “I feel better about my children playing out back now,” said one lady resident of the court. “If they fall down I don’t have to worry about them being cut by coral.” Plans have been made by the group to construct a shelter over a sand box where small children can play. It is also hoped that swings and teeter-totters can be tuilt for the diaper set as well as the older children. In the line of adult entertainment for the court the group is planning. bar- becue pits and picnic tables and benches which will tend to bring the neighbors closer together. “It only shows,” commented one man who stopped raking long enough to talk, “how a thing like this can grow, like a snowball, ‘The court was empty when I walk- ‘ed out and picked up this rake, In fifteen twenty people were out here working.

It is a good suggestion. Too many drivers have a habit of just slowing down to let an ambu- lance, police car or fire truck pass, If they see any of these vehicles coming from in front, they don’t even bother to slow down. And there are always a few darn fools ‘who will deliberately try to make a race out of this situation. Another thing which drivers might try to remember is the fact that often emergency calls involve several cars. Thus, it is never safe to pull out into the road too soon after one car has passed. Always check to make sure another isn’t coming. Other Side Of The Picture There is another side of the pic- ture, too. A lot of this fast driv- the ambulances — wrecking trucks — and what have you, isn’t neces- sary! Such vehicles have only what might be called a “courtesy” right-of-way. If an accident oc- curs, the driver must face charges Of Ours ing being done by the police —| The picture isn’t printed as a| of reckless driving, speeding, etc. Such charges will stand up in court. I’ve heard Judge Esquin- aldo read the riot act to this type of offender and then proceed to fine him. There is never any rea- son why the lives of innocent folks should be endangered simply to speed a man to the hospital — to stop a fight — or to get to the scene of a wreck before a com- petitor can arrive with his tow truck.
