RED CROSS LISTS
SAFETY MEASURES
FOR BICYCLISTS

An article which appeared in
the Red Cross Bulletin this month
is particularly applicable to Key
West, because it gives a list of
safety measures to help reduce
bicycle accidents. Riding a bike
in these days of tire and gasoline
rationing may be patriotic but it
is even more patriotic to ride it
safely. The following suggestions
should be observed by all the
bicyclists in Key West
Check for mechanical defects;
loose handlebars or faulty brakes
may lead to your downfall. Keep
TO the right; don't zig-zag over
the road. Observe traffic regula-
tions; the rules for motorists ap-
ply to bicyclistS too. Ride after
dark only if your bike is equipped
with a headlight and a tail reflec-
tor. Speed on wet pavement in
creases danger-you may skid in
to a car. "Hitching' on to NOV
ing automobiles or trucks is not
only dangerous to you but unfair
to others on the road. And, I'M
less you have d bicycle built for
two, don't carry second pas
senger and foolishly endanger two
lives.

Key Vests serious situation
concerning a dear:h of physi-

Well be common place and call
him plain John.
The Key West rowing reporter
stumbled across our John, who
said he came to Key West from
Cleveland, o., on Duval street last
night. Said John: why do these
people make such fuss over a
threatened gale? Why, the stars
are shining and the sky is cloud
less, and yet they go around and
talk as though the day of doom
had arrived. Everywhere l go
people are saying, Have you
heard about the hurricane that's
coming? Do you think it will hit
Key West very hard? l wish I
had stayed home, and other SINH

psychology is enough to put fear

sary in the heads of the people
and leave them in a state border

The reporter asked John: do

years ago when. 500 men were
killed by hurricane that also put

Key WeSterS Awakened This
Morning To Find Storm Had
Passed Far Out In Ocean

Key Westers awakening this
morning following night of
anxiety over fears of the visit of a
gale of hurricane velocity to this
section, were relieved on learning
that the threatened storm had
veered and that danger had
passed.
Precautionary steps to meet any
situation that might arise had
been taken by the local chapter of
the Red Cross, which had the CO.
operation of the Civilian Defense
and other Key West agencies. No
stone was left unturned in the
way of precaution which for
tunately turned out to be un-
necessary but which showed the
alertness of those who worked
throughout Friday to be prepared
for any emergency.
A number of buildings had been
boarded up during the afternoon
including the bus station of the
Florida Motor Lines on Southland
street which was amply protected.
The station was practically de-
serted last night because of the
hating of service to Miami. This.
however, was resumed this morn
ing and service has been returned
to normal.
The change in the storm S
course arrested boarding up work
begun by Key Westers after notice
at $50 a. m. Friday of nearness OF
disturbance which, according to
earlier calculations by the weather
bureau, seemed pointed directly
at South Florida's coast as it
drifted rapidly up the Bahama
passage.
Had the storm moved in here,
it would have missed by one day
the seven-year anniversary of the
famous Yankee" hurricane which
reared into the Keys after hair
pin turn in the ocean north Of
Jacksonville.
With. the first early morning
warning, Key Vests well-olled
storm machinery, conditioned by
hurricane lessons of the 1920s and
'30s, swung into action.
Although the overseas highway
to Key West remained open to
traffic, even with high tides lap
ping at the wooden bridges at the
southern end, the Florida Motor
lines suspended bus service to the
island city until 7:30 today.
Residents of the Keys dropped
their precautions as the weather
bureau announcement came that
the gale visiting this area would
not be of unusual proportions.

KEY WESTER AND ARMY
MAJOR IN INDIA TALK
OF GRITS AND GRUNTS

No matter how far or how
long natives of or visitors to Key
West may roam, the memory of
its famous dish of grits and

This was again brought out in
letters written by a "Conch" in
India to his parents here.
Private Charles Edward Rus
sell, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Milton
Russell of zoos Eaton street,
writes home that he is happy
and well with American forces
in India. and that among other
things he has experienced the
thrill of riding a camel and OBJ
serving the "antics" of native
Indians.
While undergoing dental treat
ment there. he informs his par
ents, the dentist, a major whose
name is not known, learned Ed
ward was from Key West Evil
IDENTIFY the mention Of this city
brought back fond memories to
the major because he lost no
time telling young Russell he
would enjoy being back in Key
West eating grits and grunts, vel
loWtails and conchs. No doubt,
the major at some time in the
past had been stationed here and
was made acquainted with the
famous seafood dishes concocted
by the "ConchS.

into the Army in February of this
year. After a training period of
three months in the Signal Corps

These Figures Are Given
On Estimates Available
AT u. S. Treasury De-
partment
Washington Correspondent
of The Kew West Citizenl

Oh Inc AeY west O1tlzenI
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Nov. 2.
The new per cent Victory
Tax on gross incomes will affect
4s5 persons in Key West. on the
basis of Treasury estimates just
made available.
This is substantially above the
originally announced estimate.
but the Treasury explained the
earlier figure represented the es-
timated number of separate re-
turns to be filed. some of which
will be joint returns covering
two persons instead of one.
In Key West, at least $50 gross
individual income tax returns
will be filed in 1914, it is esti-
mated. (The Victory Tax will
be collected at the source during
1943, where possible, but first re-
turns on this tax will be filed in
1944.)
Of these $50 returns, it is es-
timated approximately so will be
from persons owing no tax, but
claiming collections at the source.
Of the pemoinipg 400 returns
from Key West, it is estimated
IS will be joint returns from
spouses from whom the tax will
be collected at the source.
Aside from the Victory Tax,
lowered exemptions for the reg
ular income tax will result in
the filing, next March, of more
than 1885 returns from Key
West residents on 1912 income,
with at least 1,415 of these act
ually paying taxes, according to
the Treasury estimates.
For most of these taxpayers,
superimposing the Victory Tax
of 5 per cent on all income over
$l2 per week will result in q
double burden, which will not
ease off the following year; for
while taxes collected at the source
on 1943 income will constitute de-
auctions on returns filed in 1914,
the Victory Tax will continue
to be collected at the source year
by year, against returns to be
filed the year following.
