In loving memory Of my brother,
Donald A. Friend, who died April 3,
1914:
His smiling way and pleasant face
Arc a pleasure to recall;
He had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
Some day we hope to meet him
Some day, we know not when,
To clasp his hand in the better land
Never to part again.
Sadly missed by

Farmers, too, the speaker said,
produced q modern miracle in the
way Of food production with 4,00O,-
600 less farm hands and no mach
inery replacement. In other words
he said, America really went
places and can again. So limit
less is the productive ability OF
the American workman, that the
speaker said, he has as yet been
unable to find out what Too Big
really is.
After a rather gloomy word pic
ture of fastdepleting iron ore and
lumber resources, Ho-rocks called
attention to the brighter side of the
future merchandising and manufac.
turing with the tremendous posi-
Fbilities from plastics and other
creative products of the chemists
mind and all which challenges u.
that we must change our thinking
to a broader scheme of things il
the future.
In concluding an address that hat
all Kiwanians and their visitors
on chair edge throughout, Horrock'
said that there are only two way
to cure the production ills that nov
beset the nation. l.. Give workers
more and still more and that alone
will not bring happiness and 2
produce more and still more in thu
one and only American way. An<

CAPE FEAR FLOOD
PLANS ADVANCED
Engineers Announce Public
Hearing On Project At
Fayetteville

A public hearing will be held at
II o'clock Monday morning in the
Cumberland county courthouse,
Fayetteville. to determine what
sort Of flood measures should be
employed to halt the yearly Cape
Fear river flood waters, the Will
mington district office of the U. S..
Army Engineers announced yes
terday.
The river has risen above 45 feet
at Fayetteville, where flood stage
is 35 feet, a total of % times since
1888, with an even dozen floods
reaching the so foot mark or high
er. according to records here.
During last years disastrous
flood, which is credited with dam
ages estimated by various sources
at 81, 148, 900, the river reached an
all-time high of $50 feet. In 1908
the river was recorded at 900 feet.
No accurate estimate of the dam
age of that flood could be had yes
terday.
Damages caused by the 1915
rampage, as estimated by various
sources, placed direct damage y
the flood to industry at $4s5, 900,
to commerce at $125, 900. to Utili-
ties at $115, 600, highways and
bridges $513, 600, railroads $125, 900,
homes $285, 900 and to agriculture
$500, 600.
All interested parties are invited
by the District Engineer to be
present or to be represented at the

rocks said that the right way Of
LIE IS to build - not to turn down
to destroy. He then called atten.
ton to the poetic picture of the
events of the 1941-45 era as fore
told by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. in
an ode written 104 years ago. Every
line of that now immortal poem
and its prophecies we've unfolded
before our eyes, the speaker said
during the recent war years, but
the final two lines are as far awav
from fulfuilment now as they were
104 years ago.
Turning the trend of his talk to
atomic power. the speaker said that
it has been his good lot to have
come in personal contact with a
number Of scientists whose work
produced the atomic bomb and also
a scientific writer for a well known
newspaper chain. From this man he
gained some insight into the pos,
sible effects of an atomic war
that the atomic bomb is the most
economical way of getting rid OF
mankind in a hurry-that given
18 months more of preparation and
this nation will be ready for such
a war if one should come.
Destructive Power
Regarding the destructive pow
er of the improved atomic bomb,
Horrocks said that a relatively
small number of such bombs could
destroy ID to 20 cities within an
hour. So what? where do we &c
from there? Those were the two
questions the speaker. threw al
Kiwanians for answer.
So stupendous is the power o.
such atomic energy, he himsel1
answered, that the meag-e know.
ledge that we have so far, is fore
ing us to our knees in awe and may
be the means of bringing about tina
world federation Of which Tenny
son wrote.
To bring that about, he said. w

the spirit Of goodwill and under

For we as a democratic nation

ty Of whom follow the, same
philosophy although our population
is made up Of 46 different races
have it within our power to bring
light and understanding and there

and dreamed of void peace.
Regarding the power of United
States workmen to achieve the al
most impossible, he cited the cal

MYTH EXPLODED

Tell me we're not bad. Many
persons about a month ago when
Jlis so called Williamson ex-
petition began its publicity
phases questioned me about get
ting a story. l told them there
was no such ship in Key West
and The Citizen has never
carried a story that the ship was
here. Also, our prediction was
that it was some sort of publicity
stunt. Comes now the first trick
les of public opinion reaction in
which doubt in the expedition
finding the Cortez ship off Key
West is expressed. 1t was quite
evident that if Williamson did
not want providers as he blared
to the public he would not then
take to the press and radio to
say so. There were many physi-
cal factors too such as disbelief
that a ship from the 1600's would
still be real in any stage under
water.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1946-04-22
PROJECTS TOUGH PROBLEM

Projects for Key West is the
toughest nut to crack because
there you go into real dough. We
know that there is plenty here
in Key West to see and we have
so organized now that the ma
jority of persons who come here
will secure that information and
not wander around lost in the
city The Businessmen's Informa-
ton Booth is a real step ahead
along this line. But projects is
a wide field. At present the
projects which are advanced in
the making are /. Beach on south
end of Roosevelt Boulevard. 2.
An Open Air Aquarium in the
city, which is being remodeleil
by the Navy and will shortly be
turned over to the city for use
of the city very shortly now.
3. Sightseeing boat and sight
seeing bus. The boat is completed,
the bus has just been placed in
operation. Then of course there
were scores of social affairs,
plays and music hours designed
for visitors to this city which
