Did you ever notice the

him because he is Captain
c. B. Sutton. owner of SUIT

ates the Tortugas line and
he's in a higher door than
an average business man.
He doesn't say much and
he has ans innocent grin
which might lead one to
think he can be taken advan-
tage of. But before you
start pulling the wool over
his eyes you'd better wait.
because heshas a mind like a
steel trap and he knows his
boat business from steam
whistle to the lock nut on
the propeller shaft.
Coming out of the World
War where he was an oiler
in the Navy he had exactly
S. when he had cleared off
his debts. Investing this
huge sum in an obsolete boat
which no other person would
bid on. he first ran an excur-
sion in neighboring waters
of BaYonne. N. ]. From then
on he kept edging out until
he is now owner of the SUIT

James II. LeVan. passed assist

Mr.. LeVan told The Citizen
that there were three men here
and that two more would be here
shortly. Thre trucks would be
utilized in the work.
object of the work., Mr.. Le-
Van said, SIS to reduce the num-
Der of disease bearing mosquitoes
since it has been proven that if
the number is below a certain
figure that there will be no Sc
rious epidemics".
Pointing out that the men I'M
der him are all trained in the
spotting of any place or receptacle
wherein the pest" mosquito may
breed, Mr.. LeVan said that they
would call at various houses and
eliminate any of the places. Old
tin cans and other water holding
receptacles in yards will be cart
cd away by the group.
You would be surprised to
find where mosquitoes breed,
Mr.. LeVan said. For that rea-
son we request the cooperation of
Ka1 Wcgtcrss
The public health service group
will be here until April when
they will return to the Miami
area. from where they have been
transferred to Key West. mi
ami has a greater problem than
Key West, LeVan continued.
''Ib has passengers from many
Caribbean areas which are in
fected with disease bearing mos
quitoes. Key West has some
travel from Cuba and other ports
also, however.
The Key West problem is ex-
trcmely difficult, LeVan said,
since, though mosquitoes on the
island might be eradicated, a
horde of others from some other
key might come down. Mos
quitoes can fly forty miles, he
said. I'VE don't want the people
10 think we've done nothing if
after our work the city is infested
again., he concluded.
Headquarters for the group will
be in the old Naval Hospital
site. where the community clinic
is now located.
