Fix the Crossing This morning while one of our employes was coming to work he saw a comical sight comical at first look. Several men were busy, rocking a car back and forth, trying to get it out of a hole. No, the hole wasn’t in a country road, or one washed out by storms and heavy rains. It was in the center of Monroe street where it crosses the Pennsylvania Railroad track. It was just a few years ago when a fine old gentleman, who couldn’t see too well, stepped in such a hole and fell, and couldn’t get up before the train came. That was on a different railroad, but they hurried down and fixed the crossing the next day. The railroads have been complaining that they have too many employes, that they don’t need them to operate efficiently. Well, there’s been no sign of efficient railroad operation for some time. Let’s put some of those men to work fixing that crossing, and let’s get it fixed. There was a time when holes couldn’t be prepared in winter, but that time is long past. Mix is now available that can be used during the winter — the county highway department used it several years ago. When a hole so big that a full-sized car gets stuck in it is allowed to develop in a main highway and street in our city, it is a crying shame. The city council has had this problem before them many times — it’s about time for the railroad to repair that crossing, and repair it permanently, so that it will stay fixed. If the railroads can’t operate efficiently, then it is high time the Federal government nationalized them; railways, and their crossings are too important to allow them to go unattended, like the old toll roads, until they are a danger to life and limb.

Uruguay Having Economic Woes
By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign New* Analyst Montevideo basks in the sun along the Rio de la Plata, capital of a nation boasting more than 50 years of internal peace, a land without personal income tax, fortunate that she has escaped the woes of her two big neighbors, Argentina and Brazil But, as many another nation, Uruguay is having increasing economic difficulties. And, as on March 1 a new government took office, mounting labor unrest was expressing itself in a strike of 12,000 power and telephone workers. The strike hit in the midst of the gay pre-Lenten celebrations and blacked out the city. Telephones went out of service and troops were called in. Other unions declared their solidarity with the strikers and threatened a general strike in protest against the arrest of labor leaders. Site of Indiana Uruguay, about the size of the state of Indiana, is the smallest of the South American nations, with a population of about three million, about a third of whom live in the capital. Uruguay has been described as a super-welfare state, providing benefits from the cradle to the grave. The heavy cost of maintaining these benefits and the uncertainties of national income based primarily upon agriculture have combined to create the country’s present problems. Living costs have shot skyward at a rate of 25 per cent per year or more. Production costs have reached a point in many factories where imported goods can be sold cheaper than those manufactured at home. Gold and dollar reserves have dropped alarmingly. Uruguay depends primarily upModern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. I’ve been told that a certain amount of “boarding house reach” is now permissible at the dinner table. Correct? A. Correct. Rather than bother your neighbor, help yourself. to any dish you can reach easily. But never, under any circumstances, do you reach across another person, or rise from your chair in order to reach across the table. Q. A woman I know has just issued a formal announcement of her engagement, even though her final divorce decree from her first husband has not yet come through. I think this is somewhat out of line, don’t you? A. This is much more than “somewhat” out of line. Q. Is it considered proper to use the spoon to test the temperature of the coffee at the table? A. This is quite all right. But after one little “taste test,” the spoon should be replaced in the saucer and left there. Q. I have just received an invitation to an “open house.” Am I supposed to bring a gift of some kind? A. No. An “open house” is more or less in the nature of a reception. If, however, you are inviting to a “house warming,” then you would bring some sort of gift Q. May a wedding “breakfast” properly be served as late as one P.M.? A. Yes, it Is still properly a wedding breakfast.

on its exports of wool and meats, and its economy was at its peak during the Korean War. Since then, successive years have been marked by increasingly large trade deficits and increasing labor unrest. Rough on Reds Politically, Uruguay is another of those countries which have not hesitated to deal roughly with Communist diplomats they suspect of interfering in domestic affairs. But, with a huge Russian embassy in Montevideo, Uruguay also has been marked as a headquarters for distribution of subversive Communist material. Pro-Castro students demonstrated against former President Eisenhower when he visited there, and Eisenhower got a whiff of the tear gas troops used to suppress them. Uruguay is ruled by a Swisslike system of a nine-man council in which the presidency is rotated. For the Uruguayans it has worked well, and despite current and mounting financial difficulties, the nation’s political stability is not expected to be disturbed. 20 Years Ago Today March 5, 1943—Officials, deputies and clerks at the county court house have enrolled 100 per cent in the annual Red Cross drive for funds.
