Few Payroll Changes

Latest reports on the payroll,
which IS being made up right
now, is that all persons who were
reported on the November ID
payroll will continue on the new
one being made up today for pay
ment tomorrow, except those Of
fees which have been abolished.
For instance, there is no pro-
vision for a city health officer
under the new charter and the
office held by DR.. H c. Galley is
automatically abolished and the
pay which goes with it. How
ever, most of the other positions
will continue. We were discuss
ing this with City Manager Bill
Demeritt today and he said that
it would be very easy to fire
everyone in the city hall but that
his motto has always been to
work well with what you have
and he thought that the principal
point to stress right now is that
with proper supervision he didn't
know of a bad worker at present
on the City'S rolls.

In addition to assisting the pro-
secution of ceteran's disability
and pension claims, the American
Red eros is set up to give emerg-
encv financial aid to returning
servicemen on the same basis as it
has aided the main service,
Stephen D. Stone, Red Cross
Director at MOB said today.
AS always. the Red Cross will
be at his side to help out in time
of personal problems or financial
distress" Stone stated. MANY ex-
servicemen come to Red Cross for
assistance in filling out claims for
government benefits or in tracing
information substntiating their
claims. If these men need financi-
al help while awaiting adiudica-
ton of original claim. the Red
Cross will provide it, since such
relief is needed for short time
only.
If any form of continued aid
is needed which is not provided

is usually able to refer the veter-
an to an agency set up to pro-
vide long term assistance.

BASEBALL LEAGUE
HAS FINE START
By NESTOR CASTANEDA

The Island City Baseball
League had a very impressive be-
ginning, with the two games
played Sunday as examples.
These games prove that there
is still an interest in baseball in
Key West, and that the teams are
about as evenly matched as they
possibly can be.
The Machinists, with Bethel,
Rodriguez, E. Acevedo and Ma
chin, can give any team a good
game. The Conchs are in need
of a good workout. AS soon as
they get in shape they will be
hard to beat. Trojans have not
played as yet. but they boast a
strong team with the recent sign
ing of Rubber" SWeeting. The
Red Raiders seem to have a
strong team, but are weak in
pitching. With the return of
Ralph Arnold, they have a smooth
clicking infield. The Legion,
made up of school kids, are in.
shape, and they are kept in the
ball games under the fine pitch
irg of Ken Meadows. SO, after
analyzing the teams, it all points
out to be a tight race in the
league.
The league will meet tomorrow
night at 7:3O in the City Hall. All
the managers are asked to at
tend or send a representative.

The Right To Disagree

Regarding the Karl Thompson
article yesterday it was stated
that one of his lots was cleaned
up. This was not so. An offer
of 500 was made to clean it up.
Understand there have been low
er offers, too, according to a lady
informant. Manager Demeritt
said again today that he intends
to see that vacant lots be cleaned
up or a warrant for arrest of the
property owner issued. want
to say right now that when this
column cracks at any of the city's
action it is doing so in con-
structive spirit, thinking both of
city administration and the well
fare of the citizens.
