Myrus
Annazes
At Sta+|er
By CHARLES GENTRY

THE MENTAL magic of Myrus
Is back on tap again at the Stat
Ter Terrace Room where his won
derful feats Of mind-reading are
amazing nightly even the most
skeplical audiences.
One OF the things we admire
most about Myrus in his lack OF
pretentiousness. He leaves his
abbacadabra in the check-room
and politely comes out and asks
you what you want to know.
Then he tells you. He doesn't
hocus-pocus you into believing
that he's got a direct spirit
message wire through TO Sir
Conan Doyle. or that woman who
takes the IL :45 broom out of the
Terrace Room every night is his
aunt.
Neither do you have 10 feel
furtively II your watch is still
where il was. because he never
comes near you and doesn't ask
you TO lend him a 20-dollar bill
for few minutes, which turn out
TO be for eternity.
You just write down your ques-
ton and then gasp over what he
has TO tell you. If you feel a
heckling mood coming on. you d
better suppress il. because he can
stop the would-be wise guys as
coldly as the weatherman.
Most of all he's entertaining
without getting too personal and
he doesn't embarrass you in the
least.
Appearing on the same bill are
those graceful dancers, Leonardo
and Galante, who perform the
most amazing turns in their
rountines. We particularly like
their safnba and beguTue routInes.
especially when accompanied by
Leo ReiSnan and that wonderful
orchestra of his which also takes
the dance spot in this smart room.

WHAT HAS BEEN DoNEa

Editor, The Citizen:
Although polio has not reached
an epidemic. proportion in Key
West, according to statements is
sued by County Health Officer
Parramore, it certainly cannot be
said that the disease is on the de-
crease. t'n
What with a few sporadic spray
ings, which, so far, apparently
have been Intellectual from a prac-
teal standpoint, and an abund-
ance of talk, both supposedly Of
fetal and unofficial, nothing of a
definite nature toward bringing
the disease under control seems
to have been done.
Since it is apparent that the
present polio outbreak is centered
in and around the Poinciana area,
what is keeping the health au-
thoritieS from concentrating their
efforts in that area? Instead of
losing time telling Key Westers
in general what they should do
about their garbage, why not con-
,centrate on the garbage dump
used by the city sanitation de-
partment? 1t is significant that
during the time the city's garbage
was hauled out to sea and dump
ed, there never was a serious
. threat of polio.
Due to the many shallow wells
in this city, it is undoubtedly a
wise move to prohibit the burial
of garbage. However, it would
seem wise to encourage the burn
ing of such waste, where the
proper safety measures are TAX
en-.
The statement that if Key West
ers wanted twice-a-week garb-
age collections, they would have
to pay more for same, allegedly
made by one of the city's high
officials, is rather beside the
point. If the city can afford to
obligate itself to a thirty-odd
thousand dollar debt for a strip
of sand to be used for pleasure
