HITS NAIL ON HEAD

Editor. The Citizen:
Your editorial in The Citizen
OF Monday. July %. entitled A
House Divided, certainly hit the
nail on the head as far as the pco-
pie Of Key West are concerned.
The biggest obstacle I find TO
the advancement and develop
mert Of Key West IS the lack of
cooperation and friction among
the individuals there
People from all over this state
get the impression that there IS
too much "muddyIng the waters"
and unless the people OF Key West
follow the hnc of thought in
your editorial real business inter
csts ANA constructive individuals
Will stay out-and You can't
blame them
A FORMER CONCH.

IF YOU are one Of the many people
who thinks = stove Is . stove,
a sort Of standard product which
= will always resist change, you will
be pretty amazed when you see the
newest range which has been put on
the market.
This device at last presents .
streamlined cooking machine with q
number OF really radical improvements,
and you will probably be very un-
happy with your present stove after
you glance at this one It is almost
as bad as looking at new model auto
mobiles for the home modernizer when
he sees these sleek-looking affairs,
and 1t will take a considerable amount
Of sales resistance to avoid having one
sent home right away.
Take for instance the matter Of
burners. For years gas and electric
stoves have had square tops with four
burners placed one in each corner.
When you reached over the front
burner to get at pot In back you
ran the risk of scorching an arm or
singeing a sleeve. This stove cleverly
sidesteps this problem by arranging the
four burners in line so that all burn
ers are equally accessible. Pretty
clever, We say.
Every housewife, furthermore, has
had to train her children to stay
away from the valves under threat OF
pain and torture, but little children's 8
fingers have = strange habit Of get
ting into places they shouldn't and
causing lot Of uproar.
But again We find a major step in

until such time when they can fisure
out the operation Of the trick door.
\ X 4
Not content with these radical
changes from the standard this gas
stove also contains an inbuilt elec-
trio cooker which plugs into any no.
volt wall outlet. In fact, the same
power supply operates an electric
clock and light mounted on the back
Of the stove above the burners. BY
first bringing up the temperature OF
the cooker on one OF the gas burners
you can take advantage of the quick
heating abilities Of that fuel, then
place 1t in the electric oven for the
fnal cooking time.
The stove which provides such q
large number Of innovations looks like
q regular Product except that 1t Is q
little longer because Of the burner
arrangement. Needless to say it has
. handsome porcelain enamel finish
like other kitchen appliances these
days. making it worthy Of a place in
the living room If you care to have
1t installed there.
MORE and more people are getting
smart on the question Of venti-
lating their various rooms and at last
are doing something about the open
window situation. You will possibly
say, give me an open window any time
but have you ever stopped to think OF
all the trouble they cause?
BY installing one OF the new type
window ventilators which are easily
installed In an open double-hung win
dow, you can get away from such evil.

While the cost Of one OF these units

Defendant
Finds Charges
| Pile Up on Him

William Wright Jordan, SO, prob
ably wishes he had known Police
Court Judge Hobart Newman was
going to be absent from the bench
today
Jordan, who had entered plea Of
guilty to q bad check charge two
weeks ago and was out on bond,
came to the court today to be sent
enced by Judge Newman, but the
latter was out of the city.
However, Detective Herbert G.
Wanamaker of the check squad was
waiting for him at the court on q
little business. 1t had to do with
four more charges of passing
worthless checks.
Mr.. Wanamaker said Jordan al
legedly passed the four checks, for
a total Of about $40, in the past two
weeks-the period he has been
awaiting sentence.
Before Judge Edward M. Curran
today, Jordan pleaded not guilty to
the four new charges and demanded
q Jury trial. The court set. q bond
of $500 in each Of the charges.

IF. H. 4. Studies Plan
To Provide More
Low-Rent Homes
Division Would Be
Created to Map
Proqrum

Creation of a research and study
division within the Federal Housing
Administration, for the purpose of
devising program by which home
building within a certain low-rent
range may be stimulated, Is being
contemplated by F. H. A. officials.
Such 9 division, it was explained,
would be set up merely by assigning
certain existing F. H. A. personnel
to the task and does not compre-
hend addition of any employees.
The goal Of such a program would
be building of more homes in the
rental range of IS to $40 per room
per month, q class of housing suita-
BILE for families above the "slum
clearance" group, but unable to
pay the rentals Of more than SO
per room per month, as required by
most F. H. A. projects. In the
opinion Of F. H. A. officials, no new
legislation would be necessary to
achieve this objective, but rather
q careful selection of sites, con-
sideration Of tax obligations, etc.
Two such plans already are under
experiment, one by the Fort Wayne
Und) Housing Authority, which
provides prefabricated houses at
rentals of $40 per room per month,
and the other by the Princeton
IN. J.) Housing Authority providing
dwelling units at $6.25 per room per
month.

Police Continue Search
For Sniper Despite Snow

With a somewhat reduced force,
police in scout cars and on foot to-
day plowed through the snow in
search of the sniper bandit who
killed his second victim a week ago
last night.
Officers scanned the smooth sur
face of the new snow for footprints
of loiterers along the highways of
the upper Rock Greek Park section,
where the demented man struck

All suspects picked up in the in
tensive manhunt of two weeks have
been eliminated Inspector Bernard
w. Thompson expressed the belief
yesterday that the sniper had left
the city.
Meanwhile, police still were on
the alert for temperance of the
light-skinned colored man, as de-
scribed by woman whom he
wounded with his .32-caliber gun.
The sniper preyed on couples in
parked automobiles. He killed two
persons and wounded two others
within a week.

Chest Workers
Report $4,000
In New Gifts
Leaders Of Campaign
aMore Confident
Of Success

Keeping their promise TO continue
their efforts in the Community
Chest campaign until the audit
deadline November 80, volunteers
were able to report more than $4,000
in new pledges today.
Although exact figures were un-
available, Chest leaders admitted
they were far more optimistic about
the campaign than they had been
Wednesday, when it officially ended.
II am confident now that the
workers who responded so enthusi-
astically to our appeal at the last
report meeting will continue their
work till the last minute in order
to bring the Chest as near its goal
as possible" Herbert L. Willett jr,
Chest director, said today.
At the close of the official CAM
paign, 100000 was the margin be-
tween the $2,127 900 goal and the
total reported at the meeting.
$4,000 in New Gifts.
Frederick M. Bradley, chairman
of the Special Assignments unit, re-
ported $4,000 in additional gifts to-
day from his unit.
After the meeting Wednesday, a
number of pledges from firms and
employees came in to the Group So
licitation Unit, swelling the units
total by several thousand dollars.
The unit reported the Theater
Division had exceeded its $7,779
quota and was still going strong
under John j. Payette and Sidnej
Lust, co-chairmen. 1t was pointed
out the divisions quota this year
was larger than last years, which it
also exceeded.
The more than 300 volunteers who
stood up at the last meeting when
w. w. Wheeler, chairman of the
Metropolitan Unit, asked for
showing of those willing to continue
soliciting evidently have kept their
promise because Mr.. Wheeler pre-
dicted today the unit had a fair
chance of going over the top.
Cites GEORGETOWN Solicitor.
He cited as an example a George
town solicitor who reported she had
been able to collect an additional
500 and said he expected a similar
reaction from the other volunteers
still in the field.
Optimistic reports came from Ran
dolph Leigh, chairman of the Subur-
ban Unit. In Alexandria, Va, he
said, the campaign was still going
full speed ahead and workers were
confident Of going over their quota.
A well-organized cleanup campaign
Is in progress in Arlington, Va, he
said, and Fairfax County, Va, which
has already gone over its quota, is
seeking to increase its percentage.
In Montgomery County, Md,
where volunteers had a late start
owing to the elections, hope was
expressed that the area would pull
up within striking distance OF its
quota.
After the audit at the close of the
month, final report will be pub
lished on December 2.
