For many years Mill City has run up against a hard proposition. The hard substance of the hill rising abruptly out of the business section on the Marion county side has caused consternation to more than one city ad- ministration. In recent days that problem has loomed again. The state government has offered to improve the highway, make it safer, but at the price of revising city ordinances and reducing the usefulness of the Marlon county •ide as a business area by prohibiting angular parking. Often times In many cities the problem of satisfying both through and local traffic places city and state officials in a controversial situation. Both sides are Interested In safety. Both have different Ideas of how that safety can tn- attained. The state believes that safety would be served by parallel parking; the city believes that angular parking Is the solution. It is contended that parallel parking would reduce the nunikr of spaces for jtarking and thus would result In double parking problems, and hence creating a dangerous situation, besides the difficulty of parking on the hill, and the resulting difficulties of getting out of parking tn this par­ ticular block. Both governments are essentially arms of the people. What do you as a citizen think Is the proper solution to this old problem? We of The Enterprise have this one to offer. Would it not be wise to widen the highway by the state purchasing a triangular section of the Dave Epps store. If this section were 25 feet each way, then the hill could be blasted to a lower level, and the curve reduced so that greater visibility would be obtained. One of these days someone is going to be killed negotiating that dan­ gerous curve. Already numerous accidents have been caused by the dangerous condition« prevailing, causing property damage and traffic tie-ups. Right now we should be considering suggestions for the correction of this problem. If you have driven down or up the hill, you probably have an Idea of what you would do. Write to your city council and the highway engineer, telling them what you think should be done. History Repeats Historians like to look wise and say. “The pattern of history often repeat« Itself.” This past week, scanner« of the grim record of past human experience could point with fear and trepidation at a past event that Is strikingly Similar to the big news event of the year so far, the sudden invasion of Southern Korea by the Northern Koreans. We are thinking now that the second world war really began with civil war on a peninsular country, that was Spain in the summer of 193S. Korea is also a peninsular land. In Spain, two violent forces rein-arsed tactics which turned into a full-scale show three years later. The Spanish forces were mere pawns moving at the will of forces beyond the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean. The unfortunate Spanish people suffered and hied in a preview of world­ wide suffering and bleeding. Tixiay finds the I riltcsi States and Russia the real battlers In the Korean affair. IJke the Spanish, the Koreans are victims of geography. On their peninsula, the forces of Russian Communism have finally exhausted the patience of a very patient Uncle Sam. At this writing we are at last •landing firmly, making a big stand for the force« that resist Russian Oimmiinism.

It happened on a clear and moon-minus night two summers ago in Newton, Conn., on the lawn of the home belonging to Paul Osborne, the playwright. Among my fellow oglers were Paul and his wife, Director Josh Logan and his missus, and Author John Hersey and his. What’s more, none of us was in his cups the night we watched the flying saucery. The show began about 10 p.m. while we were sitting outdoors, en­ lowing flat and unfrivolous state­ joying and shooting the breeze, and ments about them: the first thing we One type of saucer is the “true" noticed were sev- disc, which ranges anywhere from searchlights e r a 1 20 inches to 200 feet in diameter, is some miles away unmanned and generally guided by poking their yellow some form of remote control.
