sIsn. 600 YACHT PIER

Talking to Tom Wilson yester-
day (he who is planning the Gar
rison Blight Yacht PieD and he
told me that he intends to have
spent there gRbout 100000 to
$4,000. He states that the es-
Enlistment will be a beautiful
place. The men who are backing
him are executives of Bramlett
Equipment Company in. Miami
and the owner of Holloran's res
taurant. They will be glad to
post a forfeiture bond with the
city when they secure the lease
from the city. Opinion in the
city today is that the Wilson
project is still the best for the
city. MIR. Wilson emphasized that
besides the many facilities for
the yachtsmen there will be an
exclusive club upstairs for them.
Downstairs there will be facilities
for visitors. He emphasized very
strongly that the pier would not
be a large ''nightelub", but that
IL would be regular yacht pier
as is seen. up and down the coast
of Florida.

BOcA cHTCA PIER

One of these days it is my firm
belief that the city should take
over maintenance of Boca Chica
fishing pier. Situated on five nat
ura1 channels, it is one of the
best spots to send a bridge fish
erman nearby to the city. 1 hear
that mackerel and jacks are now
being caught off that bridge. Also
tarpon are often landed and plen-
ty of snapper, grunts, mutton
fish. Beautiful Boca ,Chica beach
is now owned by the navy. but
passage thus far has not been
stopped by visitors. The bridge is
closed to auto traffic.

HOUSING NEED

Steve Singleton emphasized
that it is important to have some
thing more than we have now IN
the city for the tourists to see and
have a part in. Again and again
people hammer at the fact that
we have .pQ municipal audi
forum, no city athletic club, no
botanical gardens, no art gallery,
no aquarium, no beach. Thus the
Council decided to take an active
interest in these projects. Mr..
Singleton also suggested more
housing for Key West and stated
that housing should be. number
one on the nations list. 1t was
also pointed out that the navy
will shortly be filling up the city
with large increase expected to
be in February. 1t appears that
all naval units had Key West in
mind as a logical place to move
their units after the war ended
and suddenly they all began to
converge on this city. Navy has
recently taken back the Casa Ma
rina, rebolStered the Section Base,
begun to build permanent build
ings at BOca Chica, liven the
commissary department and in
short begun to prepare for the
rush. Some sources even say that
Key West viii not have housing
enough even for these men and
their families.

TROUBLES

At the sumps there are a clari-
fier, a digester and large drying
pans where the sludge is con-
verted into fertilizer, liquid prod
ucts being separated and passed
out to sea meanwhile. Whether
the present plant with its over
loaded capacity can carry through
on this process remains to be seen
by study. Another very import
ant point is to determine if the
fertilizer process can be undertak-
en- at a profit and if fertilizer may
be sold on the Miami market
after being trucked up there.

Kerosene Whisper
Recalled by Flu
By Henry McLemore

Why should have the temerity
to comment on President Truman's
national health program I don't
know, unless it be that many of
the incest tombstones in Georgia
stand as testimonials to an uncle
OF mine. He was the first really
distinguished quack the State ever
knew, and until this day many old
time morticians send me Christ
mas presents in appreciation of
what my uncle did for their busi-
ness.
The Presidents health program
has five points. At least two or
three more points should be added.
He should at once add Point Six,
which would make 1t illegal for
any member Of a mans family, or
any Of his friends or relations, to
prescribe a cure for his ailments.

robust constitution I built UP as a
youth chalking billiard cues that
I pulled through.
Everyone who was kind enough
to visit me had a different cure for

the fiu. One dear old lady, after
feeding me half q quart Of calls
foot jelly, urged that take an ice
cold sponge bath, suck an even
dozen lemons, and then take six
brisk turns around the block, clad
only in bathrobe.
"Do that" she said, "and you
won't know you had the flu."
Sure She Was Right.
I'm quite sure she was right.
After six lemons and one turn
around the block, the family would
have been calling the insurance
agent and planning for a bang-up
party the next night.
Another friend said warmth was
what I needed, and insisted on
piling all the blankets in the house
on top of me. I managed to kick
them of just before their weight
pressed the last breath Of life out
Of my few remaining corpuscles.
Still another friend said all
needed to do to clear up the trouble
was to drink water. For hours he
rushed pitcher after pitcher of the
stuff to my bedside. I figure I con-
sumed more water than the aver
age locomotive does on a run be-
tween Dallas and Baton Rouge.

@. If a veteran finds that he can
not maintain the full amount of
his service policy, may he reduce it?
". r.
A. Yes, he may reduce to any
multiple of $500, but not less than
$1,000 aggregate. Request for re-
duction should be made to the Vet
Grams Administration, Washington
Is, D. c., and should be accom-
panied by the first full premium
without waiting for notification of
change, as this may take some time.
@. Who originated the idea of
using concrete barges in the land
ing of our troops for invasions?
Who drew the plans and specifica-
tons for them?-C. P. T.
A. The Navy Department SAYS
that concrete barges were not used
by the Navy for landing troops.
They are used as supply ships and
were designed by the Maritime
Commission, and then converted to
Navy service by the Bureau of
Ships.
@. For whom was Fort Benning
named?-C. D. r.
A. Fort Benning, which was for
merly Camp Benning, was named
In honor Of Gen. Henry L. Ben
ming, a district lawyer and Judge of
Columbus, Ga, who died in 1875. A
tablet in his honor was erected in
1925 by the Daughters Of the Con-
federacy.
Q. Are there any trees on the
Aleutian Islands?-O. C. E.
A. There are now two small groves
OF Sltka spruce growing on Amaknak
Dutch Harbor) and Expedition
Islands, two small islands in Una
laSka Harbor, Unalaska Island. The
trees were transplanted by Russian
priests over a hundred years ago.
beginning in 1905. Many trees have
been transplanted on Unalaska and
other Aleutian Islands by the United
States Indian Service, Forest Service
and Coast Guard, but practically
all OF them have died.
y. VIII a veteran of the ARMY
Air Forces receive veterans aid for
attending school if he remains in
England to attend university
there?-W. r.
A. The Veterans Administration
says that under certain conditions
an eligible veteran may pursue
education or training under the GI
Bill OF Rights in an approved insti-
tuition in a foreign country. Appli-
cation for such education or training
must be presented to the Assistant
Administrator, Office of Vocational
rehabilitation and Education, Vet
erans Administration, Washington
20. d. C., and is a matter for indi-
Vldual determination in each case.
