Right Eyed, Left Eyed -
But Not Cock-Eyed
(By Associated Press1

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Jan. 22-
Are you right-eyed or left-eyed?
Here's a simple way to test your
self, suggested by Bausch, and
Tomb Optical Company scientists;
Tear a, hole the size > Of n a
quarter in a sheet of paper and
hold it at arms length, Looking
through the hole, with both eyes
open, fix your eyes on some OBJ
ject across the room. Now grad
ually draw the paper toward
you until it touches your face.
The hole will be over one eye.
If you're left-eyed, it will be
the left eye; and the right eye if
you're right-eyed.
Scientists say that in every
person one eye is dominant, but
that doesn't mean the other eye
is weaker; in fact it may be the
stronger. They're also discovered
that right-handness doesn't nee
essarily pair with right-eyedness.
You were just born with one
dominant, eye.

Pirates, new entry in the league.
Pirates will make their debut

Plan To Develop
Fla. Everglades
CAN BECOME CENTER OF
GREAT INDUSTRIAL
IMPROVEMENT

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 2
FNS1-The Florida Everglades
can become the center of vast
argo-industrial development to
the benefit OF the entire state and
nation, Josiah Ferris, Jr., assist
ant to President Clarence r. Bit
ting of the United States Sugar
Corp, told members of the St.
Petersburg Rotary club at a re-
cent meeting, in calling upon
them to help make the ever
glades the "argo-industrial En-
pire of the South"
Ferris pointed out that the
Everglades is not only an ideal
sugar bowl, but is now providing
other products either scarce or
unobtainable elsewhere in this
country, such as starch, steaks,
blackstrap molasses, ramie, lem
ongrass oil, and cattle feed.
by developing these products
through scientific research, the
United States Sugar Corp, has
demonstrated that the Ever
glades can be the center of, a
vast argo-industrial develop
ment," he, said.9''As + additional
unused lands are improved, dop-
portunities will continue to un-
fold for large and small enter
prises in agriculture, also for the
processing and manufacturing of
various commodities" s..s.-
The entire state of Florida ben
efits from the development of
the Everglades, as we'll as from
the twelve million dollars spent
annually by the United States
Sugar Corp, of Clewiston, with
the business people of Florida,
Ferris declared.
"The most important message
I bring to you is that IA years
of unceasing research, expert
ment, trial and error are now be-
hind us; we have long since
passed from the days of expert
ment to the years of proof and
performance. 1t is with the ut
most pride that I cordially invite
you to visit. and see for your
selves this vast argo-industrial
empire, he concluded. '''' =. ''@'

Red Raiders Against Machinists;
TrOjans To Test Pirates Sunday
By NEsToR. cAsTANEpA

RED Raiders will cross bats with
the Machinists- tomorrow after
noon in the first game of a sched-
uied twin bill.
Raiders will likely have on the
mound, Gabriel "Fireball" Las
Tres, with Dewitt Wonder Boy"
Roberts behind the plate. For the
Nachinists, it will be either Dave
Lefty Lynch or the veteran
Philip "Cheta" Baker on the hill,
with Esmond ''Tarzan" Albury or
o. Rodriguez doing the receiv-
ing.
Machinists defeated the Raid
ers last Sunday, to 4, so the
youngsters" will be out to avenge
that loss.
Armando Acevedo, one of the
best hitterS Key West has turned
out, has gotten in shape and will
be at short for the Machinists.
His clouting should count a lot
IN Sundays game.
Raiders, on the other hand, will
count mostly on Gabe LaStres'
speed TO bring them victory.

fish. The government would
hardly put out such instructions
if the experts thought for min
ute that barracuda is unfit for
human consumption.
A friend of mine here in Key
West, who has some knowledge
of curing fish, recently, following
the instructions given in Leaflet
No. Is, smoked some barracuda.
l believe it equals smoked sturg-
con. I had been prejudiced against
eating barracuda fresh, until some
friends looked up all the authori-
, ties on fish they could find and
could not find single reference
condemning barracuda but sew
eral praising them. They tried
barracuda and found it in many
ways superior to kingfish. They
persuaded me to try it and I
agree with them.
Party boat fishing is an indus
try in Key West and it behooves
ASy WSSL W pIOLGCl II.
The oldtimers will tell you
there are much less barracuda in
the adjacent waters than there
used to be. Why?
am told that barracuda is
very scarce around Miami where
they used to be common. Why?
Many of the present visitors
come here from Miami to fish.
Why?
There is no better sport for the
average fisherman than hooking
and landing a. barracuda
After man has had two or
three battles in one. day he should
be satisfied but, no, he wants to
brag, so catches all he can, Just
to show off and nave his picture
taken with them and after that it
does not concern him if they are
dumped INTO the bay TO decay.
Is there not some way to stop
this shameful waste? Does not
the state of Florida or the Federal
Government have some control
that would make it an offense
against the law, as we'll as an
offence against common sense, to
bring this great game fish in to
be destroyed and wasted?
Could there not be a limit per
person put on the catch?
When l think of how many of
our game fish and birds have been
depleted in the north by the same
methods, l, as an Isaac Walton
League member, must protest
this destruction of these natural
resources. in ~ H.

Al WINTER VISITOR WRITES
OF KEY WEST AND ITS FISH

49, 49, - "@@S = @~@N@~ 49,
Editor, The Citizen:
l first came to Key West in
Dec. of 40, and have been here
every winter since, except '43.
/ have become acquainted with
many Of its citizens, some of
whom are Conchs, and others,
Immigrants, either from the
mainland or from some other
country.
1t has been my privilege to
have lived for more or less time
in every state in the union, and
I find that when you really get
acquainted with the citizens of
Key West you will not find a
more friendly and neighborly city
in the U.S.A.
My advice to anyone coming
here for the first time is to with
hold criticism of things that they
find different from what they left
behind in the home town.
Study the history of Key West
the struggle of its citizens during
periods of hard times.
Try to realize that the old
building you may call a shack
may have more history wrapped
up in it than perhaps the whole
of your town. It stands for much
to the people who have seen it all
their lives and why change it be-
cause some stranger does not like
it?
There are many things that are
just the way the citizens of Key
West want them and so why
change them?
wish to congratulate the city
on the forward step it has taken
in instituting it's new form of
government, that is real progress,
but for heavens sake do not try
to make Key West a little Miami
OF st. Petersburg and spoil it.
do have one complaint to reg
lister, though, and here it is:
am a member of The Isaac
Walton League. We are in the
front rank in the battle of fish
and game conservation.
The time was when the social
ed sportsmen caught pickeral just
for sport and after having their
pictures taken threw them away.
This is one Of the garnest fish in
northern waters. There was a
prejudice, due to ignorance,
among some people that this fish
was not fit to eat. Today, there
is a limit to. the number the fish
serman can take per day and
every one eats them. In the early
days sturgeon We're not thought
to be fit for human consumption.
II was caught and the oil render
ed out and used to preserve shin
giles. A fisherman. found today
with sturgeon in his possession
is subject to very heavy fine
in all but one of the northern
states. Sturgeon from that state
sells for $100 per pound fresh
and $3.50 per pound smoked.
The same thing is going on
right here at the Gulf Dock, Key
West. Any evening about 5
o'clock go down to the dock when
the boats come in and see the
hundreds of pounds of barracuda
brought in and then the next
morning go down and see them
floating in the bay.
There are many people who
think this fish is unclean or pois-
onous. No authority on fish writ
ten by men who know their bust
ness mentions anything of this
kind about barracuda. Any one
who will take the trouble to.write7
to the United States Department.

MAIN ISSUE AT

BASLE, (Palcor)-Close to 400
delegates representing 81 coun-
tries, gathered for the first post
war Zionist Congress. The fol-
lowing are the highlights of the
first two days of the World Zionist
Congress in Basle.
The key speech on the second
day was delivered by David Ben
Gurion, chairman of the Jewish
Agency Executive, Palestine Ia
Dor chief and proponent of mill
tant program. The key speech
on the first day was delivered by
DR.. Chain Weizmann, president
of the World Zionist Organization
and the Jewish Agency for Pale
stine, veteran leader and expo
nent of policy of moderation.
DAVID BEN GURION: He op-
posed trusteeship as bringing the
Jews no nearer to a Jewish State
than the Mandate did He stated
that the primary aim of the Zion
ist Movement and the Jewish peo-
pie at this juncture is to fight for
the establishment of Jewish
State and he listed the means of
battle as follows: Immigration in
defiance of the White Paper, the
bringing of vessel loads of Jews
to the shores of the country; col
onization in defiance of the White
Paper, in areas from which the
Jew is barred; global propaganda,
especially by American and Brit
ish Jewry to win over Govern
ments and peoples to the cause
of Jewish State. He struck out
against the terrorists who seek
"by a pound of dynamite" to foist
their will on the majority of the
Jewish people and warned that
they are leading to a civil war.
He lashed out at the Labor Gov
ernment and especially at Her
bert Morrison who now imple-
ments the White Paper which he
labeled. in 1889 as a cynical
breach of faith

Jews, who he says are a heavy
drain on U. S. taxpayers who
are being forced to support them
by pressure groups in America.
The Jewish refugees he states
refuse to work, and persistently
complain about their camps and
treatment. He says statistics show
that the DPS of all ages and sexes
are overweight. The report con-
tends that stories of persecution
driving Jews from Poland are
spurious and they are encouraged
to come into the U. S. and British
