STATE BOARD
TO EXAMINE FOR
TUBERCULOSIS
DOCTORS WILL BE IN KEY
WEST TO CONDUCT MANY
x-RAY EXAMINATIONS IN
FEBRUARY

Monroe County is indeed for
tunate in being selected for a
tuberculosis Survey by the Di-
rector of Tuberculosis of the
Florida State Board of Health,
according to DR.. J. B. Parramore.
Last year a large number of
school children and INDECENT con-
facts and suspects were x-rayed
for tuberculosis. A number of
new cases were discovered and
as result, from last reports by
the physicians and nurses, they
are now on the road to COM
plete recovery.
DR.. Parramore, Director of the
Monroe County Health Unit,
states that it is not part of his
work to treat these cases as that
will be done by the local ply
sicians. The State Board of
Health desires to make it pos
sible for the patient to have the
diagnosis of tuberculosis made
when the disease is readily
durable, so it is going to provide
free x-ray examinations to all
those on relief and to their fami-
lies desiring this examination.
In fact, any person who states
they have not the money to pay
for an x-ray of their lungs can
have this done free of charge.
DR.. A. j. Logic, Director of
tuberculosis of the State Board
of Health and his technician, Mr..
Morehouse, are going to be in
Key West on February 18th, goth
and 21st to make the S-ray ex-
aminations. DR.. Logic, an ex-
pert in interpreting the results
of the examinations will mail
report to any physician referring
the patient.
1t is possible to take over 100
x-rays per hour, so DR.. PARA
more, is DESTROYS of having at
least 1000 people take advantage
of this unusual opportunity. AS
tuberculosis is more prevalent in
the colored race, any colored per-
son or persons with mixed blood
will be given this opportunity to
have an x-ray of their chest for
diagnostic purposes. In order to
reduce the death rate in Monroe
County from Tuberculosis this
opportunity is made available
and everyone is urged to take ad-'
vantage of it.

new YORKER Got
Caught Large Kingfish
TASTE OF FISHING
SAesssssSssessaseseeeee


S. Connect, of Staten Island,
N. Y, Monday had a taste of
what fishing is like in these wa
tiers. He went out aboard a local
vessel in search of kingfish and
came back to port with a catch
of over l,4O0 pounds of the
silvery fighters of the deep.
Mr.. Connect declared he had
never seen such vicious battlers
and in such numbers. However,
this did not stop him from doing
his share of bringing the highly
priced liking" to boat. To top it
all, he landed the largest king
fish of the catch, a 20-pounder,
which gave him a tough fight.
Mr.. Connect, with Mrs. Con-
nett, have been the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Bush at the
home on Virginia street for the
past week. They planned to
leave yesterday for Staten Island.

GERMAN SAILORS
Yavl Seized By C.. Guard
MUST Give BOND

(By Associated Press)

my f-FeSSl
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-German
43 foot yawl Lekala, which was
seized yesterday in New York
Harbor, is being held until the
captain and crew can furnish
bond for their proposed voyage
to Germany.
The yawl was noted taking
aboard six months provisions in
baltimore but police did not stop
it until it reached New York. 1t
is believed that the yawl is out
fitted either to run the English
blockade into Germany or to
contact and aid German subma-
rineS in these waters.
Furnishing of the bond will
release America from respons-
bility of any act of the yawl. If
it, for instance, rammed an En-
gliSh submarine, America could
not be held for damages in per-
uniting the vessel to outfit in a
neutral American port.
Considerable mystery has fol-
lowed recent refueling of Ger
man submarines, with several
complaining that the refueling
was done from American shores.
There have been unconfirmed
charges that German U-boat cap
tains have come ashore in sew
eral cases. Off Miami two
Italian ships refueled a German
submarine two months ago.

chief architect for the project
would be Albert Kahn, Inc, of
Detroit, the firm that does a ma
jor part of navy and other gov
eminent construction. Late in
formation, however, states that
Russell T. Pancoast, of Miami,
has been designated by the. u. S.
Government Bureau of Yards
and Docks as the architect. Pan

now.

DESTROYS SUBS
CLAIMS TWO TO FOUR EACH
WEEK ARE SUNK: JAPAN
CALLS RUSSIA TREND
tBy Associated PressD

LONDON, Dec. 6.-English Adj
miralty Lord Winston Churchill
told House of Commons today
that the English fleet is wiping
out the German submarine fleet
faster than Germany can produce
them.
The English destroyers are de-
stroying the German subs at the
rate of two to four a week. Ger
man report is that they are
building the submarines at the
rate of one a day which would
seem to indicate that they are
meeting the destruction with a
building program, but which still
shows that they will be seriously
handicapped in their submarine
warfare.
Bitter attack of the German
press was made today on the
English Franco Imperialism"
phase. The newspaper attack al
so blamed Turkey for making a
pact with England and accused
them of possibly causing serious
Balkan repercussions.
Italy today said that Russian
soldiers were being moved for
ward by secret police with ma
chine guns at their backs.
Japanese newspapers today
sounded note of warning to
countries who were planning ac-
ton against Russia. The Toxic
papers claimed that Japan and
Russia were very friendly.

FINLAND CELEBRATES
22ND ANNIVERSARY OF
INDEPENDENCE; WILL
NEVER SURRENDER
tBy Associated Press)


STOCKHOLM. Dec. 6.-The
Russian Finnish war today was
blanketed in ice and snow with a
heavy snowfall over Helsinki
saving the Finnish capital from
further bombing raids
Courage and defense of the
Finnish nation was revealed
more than ever today as it was
announced that daring Finnish
raiding party landed in Russia in
the Arctic region, bombed a
bridge and departed for Finland
again.
Russians claimed they shot
down two Finnish planes which
were attempting to counter
bomb Leningrad in retaliation
for Russian bombing of Helsinki
this week.
Russians are said to have ad-
vanced their troops IL miles to-
day, but the report is uncon-
firmed. Russia announced that
she plans to strike at Finland
shortly from the north, south and
east. Striking from the north
precludes the possibility that
Russia can land troops on the
Finn shores across the Gulf of
Finland which is heavily forti-
fled. Land batteries in this gulf
are hammering away at Russian
ships which are bombarding the
coast.
p Finland celebrated Ms ~22nd
year of independence today with
solemn faces and adoption of the
motto to never surrender. Fin
nish blue and. white flags were
flown over the country today.
Correspondents returning from
the Helsinki area report that it is
transformed" following the
bombings. All shop windows
have been boarded up and death
and destruction are prevalent.
Grim faces are seen on the
street.
Writings of Lenin have been
dropped over Finland by Russia
in an effort to spread the
Socialistic doctrines.

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A WEEKEND
Come Along With Us On This One; You'll Love 1t!
CRUISE AMONG THE FLORIDA KEYS

swift barracuda or large permit
and bonefish.
Bottom Fishing
We then 60 back into the blue
channel leading into the key,
find a rocky bottom and drop
our mullet baited hooks over.
Bang, and little grunt is haul
ed in. Then follows in quick
succession, yellowtails, snappers,
small grouper. Soon the bottom
of the boat is Uttered with the
small bottom fish and we head
back to cur cruiser.
That night with the moon
overhead, the water lap tapping
against the hull and the sense of
solitude and separation from
strife and fuss of business, one
feels a new thrill at being alive.
With .steaming coffee or hot
chocolate as a drink, there will
probably be fried yellowtail or
'grunts for the meat with side
dish of hot vegetables. Dessert
will be q bit of chocolate or
canned fruit.
Jewfishing
Next morning we up anchor
and are away after first cruising
through all the myriad channels
of the Harbor Keys, Mud Keys
and Snipe Point. Going through
these channels with the high
mangrove roots on either side is
like bit of Venice without the
houses. Dropping anchor at the
mouth Of one of the channels,
we take the dinghey and with a
live yellowtail from our well
drop a large Jewish hook be-
meath likely spot and wait. Sud-
denly long black shadow moves
out from the recesses of the
bank and we've Jewish on our
line. Just little fellow, go
FOUNDER. but he'll be good eat
ing. We tie him up with a rope
behind, securing his mouth to-
gether so he won't swallow much
water, and we proceed up the
keys.
Stopping far above Snipe
Point we discover some likely
looking rocks below. We try a
light line and a big hook. Sure
enough, there is a tug and we
have a large grouper playing
heck with our light handline.
After carefully working him up
toward the surface we finally
bring him in. A good Is
FOUNDER and a prize. Someone
else in the party hooks a big
one and soon there are three or
four of the big fellows Hopping
around. We release all but one,
which we throw in the well.
We land off famed Content
Keys. Bottom fishing is produc-
tive of the usual type of fish
plus the scrappy schoolmaster,
which puts up a whale of a
fight. Then we troll the dinghey
over the coral rocks with a very
light rod and reel. Bango. we
have nice little fight on our
hands. We haul him in, and he
is three-pound snapper. For the
next hour or so as we troll back
and forth over the coral rocks
we hit into the snappers. Sud-
denly the line is seized and
makes off at lightning speed.
Finally stopping the rush with
a few yards of line left, we have

Lets take a cruise!"
These magic words said from
one Key WeSter to another adds
quite thrill as the weekend ap-
proaches. Very few of those who
visit the city know of the won
ders of cruising just few chan
nels away from the Island City,
We pile in gasoline enough to
fill all our tanks, tuck away d
small barrel of water, a gasoline
stove, blankets, all sorts of food
from side of ham to canned
vegetables, with plenty of onions
and lines on the side.
We 60 out through Winding
Calda channel on the bayside
with markers guiding our way. A
cool wind is blowing from the
north and adds bit of zest to
the day. Going out we troll a
squid behind over long stretch
of rocky bottom, known as the
"Grunt BAR. Wham, the loop in
our line spins out and we pull in
large sized five~pound grouper
AS we go north we. see the bay
islands on our right and Key
West is but a line on the horizon
with a few houses and the radio
towers in miniature. Soon they
fade away entirely.
Happening
We break through a channei
just north of West Harbor Key
and anchor there. Breaking out
our dinghey we slip on the out
board motor, pass in a jug OF
water and another of gasoline
besides a few fishing lines and
a harpoon. Over the flats we
go. It is half tide and the big
fish come up on the flats to feed
Sometimes our dinghey's keel
scrapes bottom and we feel the
branch coral crunch beneath
Then we sight it.
"Stingaree!" the harpooner in
the bow of the dinghey shouts
out. Helm over we head for the
stingaree at high speed. APP
preaching we slow down. Toe
late. He has heard US and he's
off in a ploughing of water with
his big black wings Tapping
The harpooner points out his path
with his harpoon and we follow
Soon we are on him again
Throwing the harpoon just lit
tie below where he wants to
strike to take up DETECTION of the
water he has scored a good hi:
and we are away. The pole pulls
out of the harpoon and we pull
it in with the attached string
The big ray pulls us all over the
flats, sometimes doubling right
back under the boat with the
vicious whip and dangerous poi
sonous spike flashing near us.
Finally he gives out. We pull
him in. give him few jabs to
dispatch him speedily and prob
ably cut away the spike as a
trophy. We are careful we are
not scratched by the sharp bony
protuberances of the tail. Look
behind, someone shouts and we
see a large shark attracted by the
blood weaving back and forth
hungrily. We chase him, but he
is little too fast for US. We
pass many lazy brown nurse
: shark, which have no teeth, bui
we do not harpoon these. Ora,
