Of course, if motorists — espe- cially mothers — continue to look on these school warnings signs as merely decorative paint jobs, But- ler is wasting his time. There is another City agency — the Police Dept. — which can handle the job more efficiently. A cell block in- stead of a traffic ticket might also provide a more effective reminder to ‘repeat’ offenders. I’m being about 1 per cent hum- orous and 99 per cent serious in these paragraphs.

Community Chest Either we're, going to have ‘a Community Chest or we're not go- ing to have one — depending upon you people. Every once in a while, some organization indicates that it prefers to remain outside of the united drive and conduct its own fund - raising program. As often as not, these free-lance groups prove to be a thorn in the side of charitable - minded citizens. If anything kills the generosity of Key Westers, it is going to be the independent ‘do-gooders’ who refuse to cooperate in the best in- THE UNIFICATION OF GERMANY Acting Assistant Secretary of State Ben H. Brown, dr., speaking in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, said recently one sign of the political maturity of West Germans was the fact that they had refused to buy unity at the cost of freedom. Brown was referring to the Soviet offer to agree to the unification of Germany at the cost of extending conditions in East Germany into West Germany. Although all Germans are longing for the reunifica- tion of their country, Brown is correct in praising West Germans — who are 50,000,000 strong — for their resis- tence to Soviet efforts to get them to agree to reunifica- tion under Soviet terms. That the Germans have so far refused to buy unity at the price of freedom is a tribute both to the policies of the United States, and other Allied powers, and to those followed by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in West Germany. Though it is not realized by some, West Ger- many ‘contains 50,000,000, of. some 68,000,000 Germans living within the borders of post-war Germany. In other words, if free elections were held in both East and West Germany, more than three voters would vote in West Germany for every one that voted in East Germany.

Mind you, I'm not against chari- ty. I’m willing to work day and night for such outfits as the Sal- vation Army, the Navy Relief Soc- iety, the Lions ‘Fund for the Blind,’ or numerous other causes. But the first time one of these outfits show themselves as a pressurizing group — or refuses to display, coopera- tion with all other types of charity — then I’m through with it. “Let’s give the United Way!” — The Community Chest drive is over but that doesn’t mean that our do- nations must stop too.

That the vast majority of 50,000,000 West Germans -— who know, what it is to live in d,country without free- dom — stood firm in spite of Russian efforts to sway them from joining the Democratic bloc in Europe is a tribute to their political maturity, as Brown says, and their good ‘judgment in the face of a highly emotional issue, the November \26, 1934 Regular airplane service by Watch Your TEETH!

The City of Key West has been working out the details of automobile inspection for sever- al yeats now and things are much better than they were in the be- ginning.
