Still PRESIDING

The Rev. John f. Pickens, pas
ter Of the Poinciana Community
Church, suggested to The Citizen
this morning to publish an article
stating that Juvenile Judge
Frank o. Roberts is still acting in
his official capacity, and that he
did not conclude his resumed

a colored boy, who had been in
jail since July 26 of last year.
Mr.. PiclIens suggested that the
public be informed, particularly
law-enforcing officials, that iuye-
niles may now be tried before
Mr.. Roberts until such time as
the supreme court renders its
decision on his right to act as
Judge in view of the fact that the
1916 legislature adopted a law
abolishing the Juvenile court in
Monroe county.
No further word has been
heard from Attorney General J

ings, regarding the local juyen-

SOLDIER. SAILOR

Ygnacio Carbonell, recently dis
charged after 43 months service

the chairman of the Red Cross
Fund Campaign to take place

Mr.. Carbonell witnessed the
two-way link between the Red
Cross field director stationed
with service men and women
both in this country and overseas
and the home service department
of the local chapters which acts
as a medium of communication
between men and women in the
armed forces and their friends
and families. 'The Red Cross
helped me most of all by locating
buddies of mine that l had lost
trace of, said Mr.. Carbonell, ''as
all locations were secret this was
the only source of contact. I have
watched my buddies receive mes
sages from the field directors
giving them good news and sad
ness which proved to us that the
Red Cross at home was doing a
mighty fine job of keeping things
going and relieving troubled
minds of the service men of con-
ditions existing at home. And,
in transportation or pay"
Mr.. Carbonell said he accepted
the Craftsmanship of the Fund
Campaign because he realized
how much the Red Cross meant
to him and others in the Armed
Forces overseas and at home
Now that he is a civilian he
wants to do his part in keeping
the Red Cross at his side untili
every man and woman is back
home again. He asks the people
of Key West to work with him in
this campaign which will not
only make possible the work
closest to his heart but also the
many peacetime activities of the
Red Cross.

From Mrs. S. B. r., Los Angeles:
My name is Selma. No one seems
to know what the name means. I've
asked the Chamber of Commerce,
the public library, and inquired of
at least Is women named Selma.
You're my last resort.
Answer: You have a very pretty
name, in more ways than one, and
it is surprising that Selma is not list
ed by our dictionaries. It is said to
be name of Celtic origin. The
name Selma means fair; attrac-
tive"
1t is interesting to note that the
first American town to bear the
name is in Alabama. The town was
laid out and incorporated in 1920 by
William Rufus King Che was vice
president of the United States at the
time of his death in 1889. King
was great admirer of the poems
of Ossian, mythical Celtic bard.
One of Ossian's legendary works
Is called Songs of Selma" It is a
rhapsody on the loveliness and di-
vine fairness of the gentle Selma.
King gave her name to his new
town. thus creating one of the most
melodious place names in the Unit
ed States-Selma. Alabama.
