LET'S PREPARE NOW

The Key West contingent of School
Patrol boys is now en- route to the Wash
ington, D. C. convention and parade to be
held next Saturday. Fourteen boys, their
two directors and Rotary Club sponsor
committee member will have the time of
their lives for the mex, four days. 1t is a
fine thing for them and it is altogether fine
that the trip is being made.
From an advertising standpoint, the
entry of the Key West unit in this national
affair is worth every cent raised by the
Rotary Club and other contributing agen-
cies-and then some. The boys will lead
the mammoth parade, representing the
sCuthernmost city in the U. S.. Publicity
will be widespread in the press. Other
features of the convention will serve to re-
fleet additional honor on Key West-and
it's all most worthy undertaking.
The Citizen hopes that plans will be
set in motion Immediately to make this trip
to Washington an annual custom, and that
more boys will be included in the arrange
ments next year.
As long as the American Automobile
Association holds to the rule of honoring
the southernmost city sending representa-
tives to the parade, it should be imperative
that Key West take advantage of that
situation, with its publicity values and
educational value contained in it for our
boys.
Budgeted plans, started now, with aid
from the city-at-large, will make next
years participation in the Patrol Boys trip
of greater proportion. The Rotary Club
should set the pace and lay ground work
for similar and larger, trips in the COM
ing years.

A BREATHING SPELL

Very little of the tumult and shout
ing of the current election campaign re-
mains to be seen and heard. The first pri-
mary is always noisy demonstration of
democracy at work. The second primary,
May %, will be less noisy, more business
like as the well-oiled organizations of the
leading candidates swing into action.
To all intents and purposes the peo-
pie of Monroe county have spoken their
will regarding the various candidates that
came before them for the various county
offices Except in a few instances those
who will guide the county's affairs the
next few years were named Tuesday.
Their election next November will be a
formality
Now that the voters have made their
selections, the good CT the community de-
mands that the vanquished lick their
wounds with quiet dignity, shake hands
with the victors and offer their co-opera-
ton in meeting and solving some of the
pressing problems confronting the county
Many of our citizens are without en-
ployment, private or public. They must
be supplied with jobs through sponsorship
of federal projects. Key West needs a
public beach. Sponsorship of project to
provide that beach will give some of our
unemployed work. The county must as
sist in providing an airport for the area.
That will make more jobs. The county
needs water. The county commission
must keep after our representatives at
Tallahassee ard Washington to provide the
funds That will make more jobs. Over
seas highway needs improvement. Our
county officials must strive to have the
State Road Department get back of this
project. That would provide other jobs.
MonrOe's needs are so varied and
great that there should be no time for our
county officials to engage in any outside
activities by reason of the recent primary.
When these men go into office they've got
to work to deserve the jobs they have been
assured. They can't work without COM
munity cooperation.
The Citizen is glad the primary is
over This should now become a peace
full, forward looking community.

TIRES THAT ARE BULLET PROOF

A military tire tube that seals itself
against bullet punctures is announced in
production by the United States Rubber
Company for the IT, S. Army.
This is quite an interesting develop
ment. The War Department has author
lied quantity export in increased produc-
ton capacity and has released the tube for
restricted domestic use on armored cars
and law enforcement vehicles.
In the course of time, we presume. the
tire will become standard equipment on all
automobiles and that viii end the threat of
death that comes with blowout.

The Walter-Logan bill simr

The Walter-Logan bill simply gives
protection in the courts to individuals, in
terests, or concerns, who feel that they
have been cracked down on by arbitrary
agencies or bureaucrats of the Federal
Government There doesn't seem to be
anything about the bin that anyone should
be disturbed about, as there is no justice OF
commonsense in denying any of our Amer
lean people their constitutional rights. II
is merely political issue in which the real
question involves protecting the constitu-
tional rights of citizens.

The Nays Deck Garnet!

The weather decks of all large ships
OF the Navy are covered with a dur
able wood called teak. 1t is one sub
stance that has proven satisfactory
over the years for decking. Nothing
has ever been found to take its place.
New ships are being built that use
new metrods Of construction and con.
tain materials never before used, but
the decks on the ships will always be
teak.
Tcak-wood is the most expensive ma.
terial used in ship construction, con.
sidered from the standpoint of usage
if coasts 25 cents a hoard foot. Still in
spite of the high initial cost, it is the
cheapest deck covering known because
OF its low maintenance requirements.
The Navy has recently placed purchase
orders for one thousand tons Of this
deck carpet to he used on the four new
battleships now under construction.
Teak wood is found only in far off
Burma where the output is controlled
by the British government. The teak
forests mature slowly, requiring Of $50
years; the wearing characteristic is
equally slow. This wood is especially
adapted to use in the Navy because it
it the only weather deck material which
will stand up under either continuous or
intermittent socking with salt or fresh
water, because insects and bugs die Of
starvation on the teak diet, because it
contains no acids to corrodo the steel
deck, because it does not fur or splinter
and because it has small shrinking CO.
