The French revealed a few days ago that they want- ed United States financial aid in maintaining their forces fn South Vietnam. In other words, now that the war is over, France wants the United States to pay for her mili- tary occupation — or military upkeep of her soldiers — in Vietnam. Though the French will enjoy major savings as a result of the end of fighting in Indochina, they would in- crease these savings by getting the United States to pay the cost of maintaining a defensive force in Indochina. Whether the United States will seriously consider this proposal is not known as this is written. In view of the French attitude in negotiations con- lieve the United States should let the French make their own defense arrangements in Indochina.

New Cash Register § Since a couple of pages of today’s issue are already devoted to Car los Food Center, “This Rock” might as well ‘horn in’ on the sub- ject too. But it isn’t about the new store that we wish to talk. Rather, it is about a new cash _ register which Carlos Calleja bought — the jand one of the few which have been released throughout the Unit- ed States. Cash Register Company, this new machine does everything but spend your money for you, It does all that existing models.do such as itemizing purchases, figuring tax charges and adding the total. It also does two more things— When the customer passes over his money or check to pay for pur- chases, the clerk touches a key and the visual indicator immedia- first of its kinds in South Florida} | 2 This Rock cerning the defense of Western Europe, however, we be- | Of Ours By Bill Gibb due.

The change-computing machine gives both customers and mer- chant an accurately printed record of each and every step in any transaction. John M. Wilson, NCR vice president says: “‘Cash regis- ters have always shown how much the customer owes the merchant. Now we have a register that gives the same protection to the custom- er by showing just how much the merchant owes him.” Community Chest Are you doing your share toward |helping the Community Chest? It is one of our most important chari- table organizations, you know. If you stop to think about the matter, the Community Chest really isn’t a charitable outfit.

Why? they oppose anyone who wants flu- oride for his family? No. All they want is that fluoride shouldn’t be forced on themselves whenever they open a faucet. Whatever their reasons are for is dislikes, wants to level up every- body and everything? A recent letter to this forum opens with a statement of a very laudable purpose to end all non- sense about fluoridation once and for all. What could be nicer? It then proceeds to rig up two whip- ping boys, Dr. C. T. Betts of Tole- do, Ohio and Dr, Royal Lee .of Milwaukee. Does this whipping boy method prove that our public wa- ter supply should be fluoridated? I don’t think so. By the way, I'm not a food fadist, or amy kind of a fadist, not even a fluoridation of public water fadist. It is my understanding that Am- jerican Medical Association consid- | ers fluoridation outside of its. pro- | vince and therefore has never of-) \ficially endorsed _ fluoridation of | public water’ supply. To my sur- | prise I see A. M. A. sandwiched in | among the long array of endorsers lof public water supply, among them even the nurses’ associations {which up to now have been, un- | justly of course, overlooked in the | fluoridation controversy. I may be | wrong and will be glad to be cor- |rected if. anybody will refer me ‘to any official statement made by A. M. A. that it officially endor- ses fluoridation of public water supply. Period. I'm not against those who want fluoride in their diet. Let anybody |have it who wants it. Some: peo- ple add quinine water to their drinks. It would be presumptuous of me to argue aganst their doing so. But personally I don't want it. Does that make me nonsensi- cal or a crackpot or otherwise sub- ject to scorn? People of San Diego, California, after using fluoridation of their public water supply, voted to dis- continue ut. Now somebody wants me to believe those voters did not now what they were doing, and that Key Westers might also vote wrong unless properly and scienti- fically instructed about fluorida- tion and therefore City Commision- |ers should do it on their own res- ponsibility. May I ask what kind of scientific erudition is required to decide between free choice and compulsory medication? Isn't it a- mazing that our City Commission- ers are being urged to act like Commissars, rulers over poor ig- norant peasants? If this is only the beginning, what next is to be forced upon us? However, in case of popular de- mand for municipal distribution points of free fluoridated water to families desiring it, our City Com- missioners and the Mayor, a dis- tinguished professional engineer, could, I’m sure, devise some plan to meet such demand. But they shouldn't be badgered with re- quests to foist on us something | NOTAS CUBANAS Por RAOUL ALPIZAR POYO PARQUES Para NIROS Cayo Hueso es una ciudad sin parques. Aqui los niiios, sobre va Be.

No basta con acercarles a la playa. Algunos nifias se desme- joran, con el aire del mar. En cambio, el aire seto de alturas mayores y lejos del mar, les fortalece sus pulmones y gozan de cabal salud. . Preparar un parque para esos Pequefiitos, no costaria mucho dinero a la ciudad. Y si los mayores tienen derecho a que se les compongan las calles, se les alumbre como es debido, los pe- quefios, también tienen sus dere- chos y debieran de ‘enerlo en cuenta los que rigen los destinos de la ciudad. Nada hay mas hermoso que ver reunidos a los pequefios nifios. | entretenidos en sus juegos infan- tiles e inocentes. “Dejad venir a mi les nifies” dijo Jess y cuando El pedia tal cosa, es porque veia en esos angeles, la unica sefial de sinceridad, de pureza y de candor, existente en este mundo. Por eso nos parece que ya es hora de que los Comisionados de la Ciudad que suelen perder a veces, un buen tiempo discutiendo cosas que en nada benefician a la ciudad, n pensando. en los nifios. todos ellos son padres de familia y algunos tienen hijos Ppequefiitos. eso es, asi, no comprendemos cémo no se les ha ocurrido hacer algo en beneficio de esos, de los mis pequefios. Lo raro es que este pais se caracte- riza por el respeto y la atencién que prestan todos, a los nifios, a los ancianos y a los animalitos. Alguien dijo muy ‘graciosamente en cierta ocasién, que Cayo Hueso no era parte de los Estados Uni- dos." Y decia tal cosa, porque muchas cosas que los propios americanos se cufdan de tener y defender en otras ciudades, aqui en el Cayo, pasan desapercibidas para, todos, Hay que despertar del letargo en que viven aqui los gobernantes y los politicos que aspiran. Hay que pensar al aspirar, po solo en las ventajas que trae consigo una eleccion para un cargo representa- tivo, sino que también hay que tener en cuenta, cuando se aspira y se triunfa, en esos pedacitos de cielo, que constituyen la parte mls bella, pura e inocente de la Creacién. Aqui se organizan camypeonatos de foot bali de varias categorias; de base ball de distintas catego- rias, basket ball, golf, bolos etc. Pero, ninguno organiza un festival donde los nifitos encon- Es lastima quenen una ciudad | como Key West, que bien pudiera | | trar alegre esparcimiento.

En casi todas las ciudades de la Union, que cuenten con mas de veinte y cinco mil habitantes, existen parques para recreo de los nifos pequefos. Y es un verdadero encanto ver a esas almas ingénuas, como se entretienen unos con los | toros, corriendo y haciendo ejerci- jcios que contribuyen de manera | Positiva y eficdz a Ia buena salud de los propios pequefios Aqui donde se vive en aparta- mentos. Muchos de. ellos, sin la ventilacién necesaria; es donde se impone el estahlecimiento de lu- |gares de recreo para los nifios, | Procurando que los mayores los |tagaletones, no invadan esos hu- gares, con sus practicas bruscas de foot ball, o de basket ball. Aparte del lejano parque dé Bayview, los muchachos no tienen en la ciudad ningan otro lugar donde pasar el tiempo. De ahi que muchas veces conviertan las calles y callejones, en terrenos de base ball o de foot ball, sin importarles poco ni mucho, romperle el “coco” a algun pactfico transeunte que eruce por las inmediaciones. 2 Y lo peor del caso es que cuando se les lama la atencién de que las calles no son precisamente el lugar mas adecuado para la practica de tales deportes, escu- chan a quien se lo dice, se encojen de hombros y siguen impertérritos en sus juegos, muchas veces en presencia de las propias autori- dades que cruzan por el lugar. Mar de una vez hemos tenido que requerir a grandullones que jugaban a la pelota en la cuadra en que vivimos, Y muy pocas ve- ces nos hicieron caso cuando les requeriamos. Todo eso es muy pintoresco y hasta chistoso, si se quiere, pero no es justo que se falte al respeto de los vecinos y mucho ménos que se les ponga er peligro de recibir una lesién mis o ménos grave, que despues de producida, no hay a quien reclamar los dafios y perjuicios . . . Por eso pedimos que nuestros flamantes Comisionados. de la Ciudad, piensen en la ereccién de un parque dentro de Ja Ciudad, para que alli se distraigan Ios Pequefios nifios, Es algo que cada diases més necesario, lo esta ndo a gritos toda gran familia que aqui vive y que, nunca ha podido lograr que tal cosa se hiciera. La politica es el arte de gobernar. Pero al gobernar, hay que ofrecer a los gobernados que depositan su confianza y dan su voto a los electos, parte de los que obtienen los que han triunfado en la eleccién. Y que no se diga, que en ciertos cargos lo que se obtiene es demasiado insignifi- cante, como por ejemplo, como Comisionado de la Ciudad. Si eso fuera completamente cierto, no habria ciudadanos que se ga: n cientos de pesos en tratar de salir electos, porque nadie esta peleado con su propio dinero, Hace mucha falta, repetimos, un parque para los parvulitos de la colnctividad, | Gy Today's Business Mirror By Sam Dawson ., The institute, working in 18 fields tely sNows the amount being ten-/ another donation by the groups dered as well as printing it on the) which comprise the Community | receipt.

She marries the corporation he works for, too a It has become a kind of Century bigamy, For if is an open secret that many large corporations now dont }make @ man an executive solely on the’ basis of his work in the office No indeedy. That is only- half of it. The corporation spot checks his wife also, to be surg that she measures up to its requirements. Thus arises a strange new indus- trial concept—‘“‘the ideal corporate wife.” The idea of being coldly studied by the bifocal gaze of a huge cor- poration is rather to the average wife. “I think I know how to please my husband,” she says, “‘but how does a git go about keeping a corporation happy?” Suppose her husband sells Buicks.
