County Clerk Sawyer Receives
Revised Map OF National Park

County Clerk Ross c. Sawyer
said today he had received from
the trustees of the Internal I'M
provement Fund the map of the
proposed Everglades National
Park, which he had returned to
them with a request that they
mark in red ink the proposed
boundaries of the park.
The trustees informed Mr.. Saw
yer that all Murphy Act lands,
in the proposed boundaries of the
park, were decided to the federal
government on December rs,
1914, and advised him not to sell
any more Murphy lands in that
area. Mr.. Sawyer said he would
have to return, in some instances,
deposits that had been made on
lands included in the park area.
This latest map shows little diff
ference, as compared with the
map of a year ago, in the Monroe
county area of land and water it
is proposed to include in the park.
j. Frank Roberts, who examined
the map with Mr.. Sawyer. said

APPRECIATE PLANE SERVICE

People really appreciate the
plane service Key West gets from
National Airlines at our airport
here at Meacham Field. Here's
plug for an airline which is
doing a good job of giving fine
service here. The Navy apprec-
iates the opportunity of spending
ass in the big city of Miami
Forty Fights are passes for a 48
hour period. Then Key Westers
too like to get up to Miami once
in awhile. Visitors here regard
stops there as a must. The plane
service should receive a boost, too,
when the ferries operate from
terminal Key West to Havana
this summer. Air travel is prov
en- safe and comfortable and
there are views up there which
are heavenly.

that the water area to be taken
into the park provides from five
to seven million pounds of fish to
commercial fishermen in Monroe
in the course of year, sld, he
added, many thousands of dollars
in sponge gathered there.
Should the federal government
take over the area as outlined in
1.-THE map, much valuable land ard
water will be excluded from Nor
roe county.
"They tell you." Mr.. Roberts
said, "tttc-et they will not interfere
with fishermen in the park wa
tiers, but the best reply to that
statement is for fishermen to try
to fish in the Dry Tortugas wa
tiers, over which the federal gov
eminent has control"

NAACP Protests
Imprisoning CT.
In Old Lutrine

NEW YORK - The NAACP,
through special counsel and assist
ant special counsel Franklin H.
Williams, petitioned the Secretary
Of War in behalf of Arthur c. Es-
sex, a Negro serviceman presently
serving a ten-year sentence at hard
labor imposed by general court
martial on the 3rd of April, 1916,
for allegedly disregarding the law
full orders of a superior officer. II
was the opinion of the NAACP
attorneys submitting the petition
that this was one Of the most I'M
just cases to have passed through
their hands.
Essex, along with another Negro
prisoner, was confined in an aban-
doned latrine shelter beneath the
ground, a filthy and stench-ridden
excavation located in the stOckade
area, while the other prisoners
ived in shelter halves above ground.
The excavation was a former
bucket latrine about 10 feet long
by four feet wide, and about six
feet in depth divided into two sec
tions. There was room for one
man in each compartment. They
could either double up and lie down
or they could sit in a half-sitting,
half-lying position.
The order allegedly disobeyed by
these Negro servicemen was an
order to fall in" which they failed
to do but rather requested that
the officer giving the order obtain
sufficient food for them to eat.
The Secretary Of War was urged
to exercise the power vested in him
and grant the greatest degree of
clemency possible to petitioner.

Kiss-for-Mack Lass
Is Jailed in Tokyo

TOKYO. Mary Akiya, the
Viennese blonde who tried but
failed to kiss General Macarthur
in gratitude for the liberation Of
Japan" has wound up in a Suga-
mo prison cell with Tokyo Rose.
Her six-month sentence had
nothing to do with wanting to
buss the Allied commander, or
with the war. She was convicted,
explained Marc Logic, deputy
provost marshal, Of using U. S.
mails, a privilege denied foreign
ers in military zones.
Mary came 10 Japan as Mary
Dedouch, a dancer and singer, 10
years ago. She broke into print
when she invaded MacArthur's
office recently and wanted to kiss
him.
Now. she just sits in her cell
or, for an hour a day, PAGES the
tightly fenced enclosure in the
prison yard with Tokyo Rose.

one of the girls disposition but
the other girl has a sweet DISPOSE
ton. Advise me what to do.
Ans: FrOwn upon the girl with
a sour disposition. People who go
around with a chip on their Shout
der live a miserable life and make
those around them miserable.
Whether your intentions are serious
or otherwise, it is always best to
choose your friends from among
those who are cOngenial to your
self.
P.J.-I am 20 years old and a
college coed. My problem is this:
| can't even attract boys older than
myself. They're always two or three
years younger than |. The younger
boys usually fall in love with me
Immediately. The older boys call
me Angel Face" and treat me
like a child. l don't smoke or drink.
Why can't meet an older boy who
wants a girl who hasn't been
around? ! am sick of being called
a sweet kid and treated like a sis
ter, by the ones l really want to
attract. Am l too old-fashioned?
Please tell me what to do.
Ans: Stay just as sweet and
wholesome as you are E. up until
lately your studies have been your
main interest and you have made
an enviable scholastic record there
at your school. You are regarded
there at your college as a sweet
kid and a dependable friend, which
is much better than being regarded
as strictly wolf bait. You have
dates enough to keep you popular
and give you a well-rOunded social
life there on the campus, so do not
worry too much about the older
boys who go in strictly for sOphis-
ticatiOn. The courses you are taking
are fitting you for a career. in which
you will be able to meet many in
teresting people, both masculine
and feminine and you need not
have a single worry for romance
will surely come your way. Keep
your record up to par forget
your worries and be glad you are
one girl who made the most of a
chance at college work.

feel good is when | am on a job
but l haven't been to work lately.
I am "a years old and it worries
me the way act and feel. Help me.
Ans: Until you acquire self-cOn-
troll and become master of your

Oer will continue to grow more
frequent and more serious. Each
time you give way to your feelings

YOU have divided your affection

you happy. A person can't find
happiness in marriage IL he refuses
to put into marriage that what he

Educational Difference Due
To Lack of Adequate Funds

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (NNPA) -
DR.. Charles H. Thompson, dean Of
the graduate school at Howard Uni
versity and editor Of "The Journal
of Negro Education" last Friday
urged federal aid in education in
an address to the Institute Of Race
Relations at Fisk University.
One Of the chief drawbacks to the
solution Of the race problem in this
country, DR.. Thompson asserted, is
the wide differences in expenditures
per pupil for the education of white
and Negro children in the public
schools of the United States.
