A Citizen correspondent, who signs his or her name “Visitor,” complains about our street-paving equipment and what is called “horse-drawn buggies.” As to the equipment, only one conclusion can be drawn from the complaint: the visitor prefers for our streets to remain in their deplorable condition. If he does not, assuming he is a man, in what other ways does he think roads can be repaired without machinery? Of all complaints that have appeared in The Citi- zen’s People’s Forum, this one is the most ridiculous. It is equivalent to building a house withqut tools. That same equipment he objects to eventually will put Key West | streets in the best condition in its history. Surely that | should be recompense enough for the driving incon- venience caused now by the presence of the equipment. | Many things in life we don’t like have to be done to promote our welfare or contribute to the progress of our city. For instance, when we drive on the Overseas Highway or on city streets we squirm when we see | freight or moving vans coming toward us. And sometimes | they slow up traffic while produce or material is being | unloaded for delivery, But those vans or motor trucks | generally play an essential role in our livelihood. With- | out them, Key West and other cities throughout the coun- | try, but particularly Key West, would be in dire straits, | Now let’s consider the “horse-drawn buggies,” which, as Key Westers know, are surreys. Has “Visitor” never | heard of the surreys in Bermuda? Has he never read the | glamorous stories about them, especially so before the Bermudian government would permit the use of auto- mobiles in that colony? | Many visitors, as well as Key Westers, admired and still admire the surreys, They are adapted to a tourist | town. When tourists arrive in a resort, they want to see things that are different from the day-in-day-out things they see in their hometowns. The surreys struck the |” public’s fancy because they are an apt reminder of the |4 “Gay Nineties,” when the American mode of living was | more leisurely than it is now. Even devotees of automobiles often tire of the strenu: | ous life we are leading and sigh for some country place | where speed is not a part of living. But if “Visitor” does not agree with us about the surreys, he still leaves us baffled about paving streets without equipment. i ES ena ee Crooked people are quick to suspect other individ- uals, pea eee ER ae Most men, we are afraid, have a good idea of how important they are. ooeeepeeneieenincnenigihslleenenniniii ee If public speakers would prepare their speeches bet- ter, more people might listen to them, -————— ladle}ie) Gaia AA m Crossword Puzzlegas ames mann AUR!

Reserpine also appeared to help mentally retarded patients, The doctors said reserpine should not be regarded as a “pan acea in the treatment of the men- | tally ill and mentally retarded.” However, if further studies bear out their results, they added, ‘‘re- serpine will be the most important therepeutic development in the history of psychiatry.” They said they expect it to revo- lutionize present psychiatric treat- ment. They added they expect it to rev. olutionize present psychiatric treat- ment, ‘They ‘added they believe reser- pine can be substitute as superior for the often-feared electroconvul- sive shock treatments in 75 per cent of mental cases. Reserpine is a chemically pure derivative of rauwolfia serpentina. This Indian plant has been used for centuries in the treatment of mental illness, insomnia, sake bite, anxiety states and other con- ditions. Lately, it has been found effective in lowering blood pres- sure in hypertensive patients. The team of American physi- cians, Drs. Robert H. Noce and David B, Williams of Modesto, Cal- if, and Walter Rapaport of Sac- ramento, investigated reserpine because of recent enthusiastic re- ports from India on its effective- ness in mental illness. They selected for their study on- ly those mental patients at Modes-. to State Hospital with the poorest prospects for recovery. Writing in the journal of the American Medical Assn. on results obtained with the drug, they said: “Patients have undergone a met- amorphosis from raging, comba- tive unsociable persons to coopera- tive, friendly, cheerful, able relatively quiet persons who are Decoration.

Soviet Has Youth Padiien LONDON w — The “butterfly boys” are giving the Soviet Union its greatest juvenile delinquency problem since the early days of the Revolution. As colorful as their nickname, the young-terrors wear long-maned “Tarzan haircuts” and brilliantly colored clothes. Krokodil, the Soviet illustrated weekly, describes them thus “A gang of pimply youths, ne'er do wells and louts are responsible They start trouble on tramcars, in | crowds of moviegoers, and eating Comic Boo Ruling Asked LOS ANGELES W — Superior Judge William B, McKeeson has asked the Board of Supervisors for a county ordinance outlaw the sale of crime, sex and horror-type “comic” books. “The increase in violence of juvenile acts of delinquency seems to indicate that the minds of chil- dren continuously expose. to a comic book diet are affected by the details of horror crimes so prevalent in certain types of such dooks,” said a resolution signed | by Judge McKesson.. houses. They bother girls and pick fights with men.” Nearly 60 stories have appeared in the Soviet press within the last| | six months on youthful hooliganism and drinking. Some of them report crimes of serious violence. A schoolboy in Khabarovsk knifed a teacher to death. He was li. An Odessa schoolboy was beat- en to death by other boys. Four boys, aged 15 to 17, en- gaged in a series of armed rob- beries. The pistol belonged to the father of one of the boys — a policeman. Moscow radio describea a 7-year- old as a “thief and a drunkard.” The Soviet courts are dealing severely with the youthful of- fenders. One schoolboy received a sen- tence of five years imprisonment for helping another steal a pair of football shoes. Another got two years for stealing a shirt.

Members attending the biennial meeting here said barbers should | charge by the hair — not by the| head. amenable to psychotherapy and re- habilitative measures...” The drug apparently acts on the hypothalamus, the seat of emo- tional behavior in the brain. The doctors said the drug not only ex- efts a tranquilizing action but “we believe that a reorganization of the personality is taking place in an amazing, rapid, satisfactory manner.” Readers Digest To Carry Ads NEW YORK #—The Readers Digest is opening its pages to ad- vertisers for the first time next April. The monthly magazine, which boasts of a 10,000,000 circulation, has never in its 33-year existence permitted advertising in its Amer- jean editions. A spokesman said recently the reason for the move was rising publishing costs and the fact it had tripled in size since the pubii- cation was founded. It has always sold for 25 cents.
