Combine Toll-Parking
Fees at Jones Beach
With the opening of the season
at Jones Beach on May 24, next,
the practice of collecting a 25
cents toll on the causeway, and
another 25 cents' parking field fee
will be discontinued and a 50 cents
boll suostituted, Robert Mose^,
president of the Long Island State
Park Commission, announced this
week.
The purpose of,the change is to
reduce the cost of labor, material
and other items in the mainten-ance
and operation of the park.
Sale of reduced rate tickets books
for the causeway0 leading to Jones
Beach, will be continued at present
rates for combined toll and park-ing,
the charge being $3 for a ten-trip
ticket, $8 for a season and $10
for a yearly ticket.
One advantage of the change
will be that persons de.iring to
move their cais from one parking
fleld to another may do'so wurTou:
restrictions.
Traffic figures show, Mr. Mose.
said, that 88 percent of the cars
using the causeways are parked at
the beach. The toll atill will be
25 cents for persons desiring to use
the loop to Point Lookout.

A MESSAGE TO ALL CITIZENS
There was a tone In Governor Thomas E.
Dewey^ Second Inaugural address that Is seldom
heard in the utterances ot political leaders in this
day in this or any other state. He completely
ignored partisanship—in fact did not use a party
name once in all he said*. There was no effort to
show up defects in others nor to create cheap
laughter by ridicule. In brief, the Inaugural em-bodied
the philosophy of a statesman as to what
confronts each human being:, faced with the ta*k
of government for himself and for hJs feUows.
The LEADER is proud to point out that the
Governor of all our citizens brought out a scries
...of connected thoughts that deserve to be under-stood
by all of us, young or old, but particularly
the young as they march single file onto the
stage of life. Said he: "Man has learned how to
deal with nearly all nature, except human-nature."
We are masters of earth and air and sea, but
not always of ourselves. Said he: "The first step
is to restore the individual's faith in himself."
Being neither ants nor bees nor instinctive
animals, we must first know ourselves as reason-ing
creatures before we can know and honor our
neighbors as reasoning creatures also. Said he:
"The perennial problem of mankind is to know
how to get along with each other.'.'
From these basic thoughts he moved towards
the broad idea that every organized activity
among our 140 million people should exist, not to
control (rule) but to serve the individual citizen.
Then he glanced back to the wonderful ideas that
took form in our Constiution 150 years ago—
political, religious, speech, press freedoms—one
and all. Then he immediately showed that none
of these is self-perpetuating but can only be kept
alive by the alertness of each generation of vot-cltlzens,
otherwise the original thoughts
inchings here and there (the intelligent citizen
not being constantly on guard) can decide whether
we arc to remain free or surrender to totalitari-anism;
di.scovering too late that the paternalistic
look after the individual and to provide for his
stat^ devours all freedom through Its promises to
security apart from his own independent self-reliant
endeavor. Said he further: "By each act
or decision, we are building either for a free
society under a staple government where our
people are protected by a Constitution; or we are
building an increasingly regimented society with
an increasing disregard for Constitutional liberty."
Affain we quote: 'The security of the slave is a
cruel illusion; for his master, the States, can
destroy him." «_
Here then, The LEADER brings into relation
the seeond paragraph of his address with the
third from the last. The second paragraph reads
as follows: "We pledge ourselves anew to main-tain
and advance the ditrnity of the individual,
and the right of every citizen of our state freely
to pursue his own road ,to happiness with the
full support of his government in the ae* fvc
preservation of his liberties." The third para-graph
from the end of his notable speech reads:
"The bitter lesson of recent years is that no one
(person) Is wise enough to control and direct the
human relations, or the business relations of a
society as vast as our own; and that every surh
atteznnt, can bring only failure, hunger and
despair."
The direct appMcation of this magnificent and
fnr_c^inr across *o opr rpaders in Freeoort aid
elsewhere is just this—Every man or woman who
rev-res the long-fonght-for privilege of voting as
a direct share in all forms of government—muni. {
cipa-l. county, state or national—must see that, the
