"Thc main part of our funds"
MIR. Trevor said, (which should
by next year amount to $4,000,
we have budgeted to provide a
tuberCular cottage at the MUM
cipal Hospital. AS you all well
know, Key West has d very
beautiful and modern Municipal
Hospital, something that we have
been lacking and needing for
many years. 1t does not have,
however, any facility for taking
care of tuberculosis patients,
and to my mind the greatest
work that this Association could
do would be to provide our
Municipal Hospital with a separ-
ate building where tubercular
patients could be housed and
treated This would; of course,
be used for emergency cases
only, as our state is developing
very fine system of hospitals
all over the state for treatment
of tuberculosis. 1t may be year
or two before this building can
be erected, and in that space of
time we should be able to &C
cumulate funds in addition to
what we now have to provide us
with modern facility.

County Schools
Report Increase
In Enrolment

A sizeable gain in registration
at Key West High School was re-
ported today by Principal Horace
O'Bryant. Since the start of the
school term in September the
number of students has increased
from go to 1873 in the Senior
High School and from $50 to 383
in the Junior High School.
The principal said that the
school experienced a rapid turn
over in registration because of
the continual influx and depar-
ture of families but more students
had come in than had departed.
Other schools in Key West have
also shown a gain, County Super
intendent of Public Instruction
Willard Albury reports. From
Sept. 0 to Oct. 10 the Division
Street Elementary School regis
tratiOn gained from 557 to 585,
the Harris School from $50 to
427. Poinciana School from 142 to
1913 and the Douglass colored
school from 376 to AL.
Schools on the upper keys have
also shown substantial gains, AL
bury said. He explained that the
figures.-showing gains in local
school registrations prove that
rumors of decreased registration
IN Monroe County after the war
were unfounded.

December 9th by Everybody's
! Weekly, snappy magazine sec
ton of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The authors, Dick and Peggy
Pollard, stopped in The Citizen
office a few days ago for infor-
nation and were directed to Sec
rotary John Spottswood of the
Chamber of Commerce. Their
first desire was to experience
one of Key Vests famed fishing
trips.
The Pollards were established
writers long before World War II,
during which both served abroad,
Peggy for Office of War Informa-
ton and Dick for the Army. Be-
fore Pearl Harbor Dick had been
chief of Life magazines Holly
wood office for five years. Peggy
Smith, a tall, attractive blonde,
was a reporter for a Hollywood
gossip columniSt.

Der, 1912, he took a brief AWOL
from Fort Meade, Md, when not
allowed a furlough, and hurried

accompany correspondents to the

I Peggy, meanwhile, was assign
ed to Algiers by a great stroke
of good luck and flew there with
Ernie Pyle as her buckstseat
companion. Ernie Pyle wrote
about Peggy in his column, es-
pecially taking pains to mention
fact that, she was beautiful. The
newlyweds were together during
much of the Italian campaign
and after the war were hired by
The Inquirer as rowing reporters.
The Pollard stories COVER the

Blimp Continues
ToFly In Vicinity

Surrounded with considerable
mystery and some strong head
winds, the 350-foOt Navy blimp,
MI, continued to hover in the
vicinity of Key West today. The
ship is on an experimental en-
durance flight but the Navy is
reluctant to elaborate on this
point.
The Nays lighter than-a air in
stallation at Boca Chica, however,
admitted that the ship arrived
here yesterday and was over the
city before nightfall and again at
1915 pm. after which it flew to
Havana.
The MI took off on Navy Day
from Lakehurst, N. j., in what is
said TO be a definite effort to
break the 7-day endurance flight
record set by the Army some time
ago in blimp, TIC. The ship is
operated with a crew of Is. No
refueling is required.
Upon arriving at Boca Chica,
the crew dropped a bag of mail
for station personnel. The blimp
base said that the ship would
leave Key West sin a couple of
days, flying up the west coast
of Florida and back to LakehurSt.
The MI commander is remain
ing where the weather is more
adaptable to blimp flying. He is
receiving most of his weather
and other position data from the

Expect Reply
To MolOtov's
UN Address
nv Assoeinted Pressl

FLUSHING MEADOWS, N. Y,
Oct. 30.-Warren Austin, chief
representative of the United
States, is due to begin speech
at 4 o'clock this afternoon before
the general assembly of the
United Nations, and it is thought
that his main subject will deal
with the UN Charter regarding
the veto power of the Big Five.
AS his speech was prepared be-
fore Commissioner Molotov made
his address yesterday afternoon
at UN session, it is not thought
Austin will consider at length
anything that Molotov said about
the disarmament of all the ma
tionS of the world.
1t was added that 10 other
speakers are due to make short
addresses at the conclusion of
Austin's speech, and that possibly
one or more of them will reply
to Molotov.
Molotov's speech was 1000
words long. Besides recommend
ing disarmament, he also urged
the destruction of all atomic
bombs in the possession of the
United States. He criticized Win
Ston Churchill and Bernard
Baruch, chairman of the United
States Atomic Bomb Commission,
as militant" statesmen.
A British delegate remarked
today that Russia should be
judged not by Molotov's words,
but by her works, which show
no inclination toward disarma-
ment.

the seedy-looking individual with
out ticket or money, grabbed him
by the arm and put him off the
train with the help of well-placed
kick.
At the next station he found the

off, accentuating the force and ges-

At the third station the guard
was astonished to again find the

quickly enough to escape the vio-

Stress Wool Show.
To encourage production of better
wool, to stimulate interest in proper
preparation of wool for market and
to ascertain commercial grading of
f1eeces of the various breeds, spe-
cial emphasis is being placed on
the wool show.
This years barrow show is expect
ed to surpass all previous exhibitions
in interest and size. This is attrib-
uted to postwar production condi-
tons and increased interest among
boys and girls. Bulk of the entries
will come from the Corn Belt region.
By counting the carlot entries as
individuals, nearly $500 hogs will be
entered in the International. Many
of the entries will be shown by
leading colleges of the nation, as in
the case of cattle and sheep en-
tries.
There may be fewer horses on
the farms than 10 years ago but
entries at the International will
indicate no shortage. Draft
horses from many states and
Canada will compete for the val

Bumper Cranberry
Crop Is Harvested

WASHINGTON. - Turkey eaters,
honing their appetites this holiday
season, will not want for tangy cram
berry sauce, for another bumper
crop of the tart berry that. adds
tradition as well as zest to holiday
feasts has been harvested in the
Cape Cod district.
True to form, the Cape Cod sector
again will supply about two-thirds
of the nations cranberry supply.
Occasionally, as in 1914, the Cape
Cod crop falls short of expectations
and the berry is scarce in the ma
tion's grocery stores.
Thousands of harvesters, working
with slotted scoops and nimble fin
gers through the fall months, have
combed the nations bogs to gather
more than 100000 barrels. The crop
is second only to the 1887 output of
877, 300 barrels. In 1912 as well as
in 1887, Massachusetts marshes pro-
duced a few thousand barrels more
than their estimated total of $4,000
barrels for the present crop.
More than $5O,OOO,O 900 is invested
in the scientific business of growing
and processing cranberries. The in
dustry puts to use about so square
miles Of land that previously lay
waste, unsuited to any other type of
agriculture. The new crop, worth
about $4,000, 900, will reach stores in
the form of sauce, juice and dehy-
drafted fruit, as well as in raw fruit
form.
