M. V. C. (who can speak his mind without going beyond the dictionary). "Dear Sec: "There is an old proverb that there are none so blind as those who will not see.

Reading the recommendations of the Mayor's "traffic commission" leads me to believe that there must either be a lot of ostriches, in that organization, or that they willfully "will not see." "As a daily user of Harrisburg's streets, I am moved to write you this letter, where it will "get publicity which might cause people to think, as I know from past experience that protests to City Council are without avail, unless one has the proper connections. "The assininity involved in some of the recommendations would be laughable, were it not for what their nrinnr.inn would be likely to do to Today's Memory Stretcher (By 0. Do you remember your first ice cream cone? I do. It had me so surprised that it melted before I had it all eaten. traffic.

Except to make the daily driver go out of his way, what earthly (or heavenly, either), reason is there to make the streets from Muench north, or the Hill streets from Derry south one way? I travel all of these streets several times a week, some or tnem aaiiy, ana nave never seen traffic conditions which would warrant such a recommenaa r.inn "One would think that even a traffic commissioner would be able to work the simple arithmetic problem which proves that up to a certain point the number of cars moved per minute past a certain point in in rtirppt nronortion to the sDeed at which they travel. Do you remember the good old days when Lemoyne and Camp Hill strictly enforced a 15 mile speed limit? If you do, you doubtless remember the traffic jams on Saturdays and Sundays which extended as far west as Oyster Point. Yet a brainy commission recommends a setting of traffic lights that would tend to hold traffic on Market street to fifteen miles per hour! I'll wager a good cigar against a "twofer" that in.anv Deak Deriod it would take from two to four stops, particularly on a twenty second light, to get past any of the lights, unless one happened to be close to the head of the line wnen tne ngns cnangea. "But the most brilliant child delivered lrom laboring brains is the proposed treatment of Front street. Was any recommendation made regarding the stopping of the principal cause of early evening congestion, the coming down Front street of Capitol Hill traffic two abreast? I failed to see it.

You live on the West Shore. To help future columns, interview your acquaintances on the subject: "Does traffic move on and off the bridges, or past the ends of the bridges, more freely when left alone, or when an officer is there to assist?" Daily, I cross the Walnut street bridge between 5:00 p. m. and 5:30 p. m.

My car is parked on a Chestnut street parking lot. I can always tell when the corners are officer controlled. It takes just twice as long to get past a given point. But even an officer on the corner is much to be preferred to a traffic light. The officer can at least use what judgment he has as to what direction traffic should move.

What a sweet jam a light could make by holding traffic arbitrarily and then letting the man who desires to make a turn through oncoming traffic take his chances. "Perhaps I am not qualified to speak. I drive an automobile in my business every day, and have driven for over twenty years without a traffic accident. Maybe I have not yet had enough experience. Anyway, the above is the way I feel about it; and hundreds of others feel the same way about it, if they could be persuaded to become vocal.

"What do you think?" AMVC. (Note: We know the writer personally in case more information is desired.) Wednesday afternoon "Dear Sec: "You sound as fcho you can't take it. Why should I listen to your bubbles over the radio just to have my ears burned? Save your breath as I don't and won't listen to you. Once or twice was that many too much. Anyway nothing you could say would ever burn my ears.

You are entirely too mild to be able to do that "Incidentally my good wife (who often wonders why she married me) told me a day or so ago of someone besides myself who thinks you are awful on the radio. Not long since, thru your column she received some unwelcome publicity and upon being twitted by the aforesaid war department said "His column isn't so bad but on the radio he is terrible." That makes three of us now and perhaps ere long I'll find the other two of your listeners who still persist in being punished and get statements from them. "Don't take it so hard, Sec. Really I am not as bad as you imagine me to be. Incidentally I greeted you in front of the Post Office a week or ten days ago.
