FAST AND FRICD
(See Front Coper)

SPEEDsTER. Back in the davs
when Barney Oldfeld and the Wright
Brothers were dreaming of 6O-mile-
an-hour speeds for automobiles and
airplanes, a l2-year old youngster
was zlpplng over the ice of Wisconsin
faster than an express train.
The kid was Johnny Buckstaff. Of
Oshkosh. and he was plotting =
homemade ice boat on Lake Winnie
bago. He used to wind up a day's
sailing by racing the Chicago &
North Westerns Iron Mountain
Limited. He always won.
Today, ice boats costing anywhere
from $3.50 to S., 500 are looming over
the lakes of America and Europe at
speeds up to l43 miles an hour. I'm
official runs have been made at better
than l60 m.p.h.
Johnny Buckstaff's in his middle
fifties now. and an executive of a
furniture manufacturing company.
But you won't find him at his desk
these days. He'll be out in corner of
the plant, privately manufacturing a
new runnerplank or rigging a new
mast for his three boats.
BIGGEST THRILL for Johnny was
plotting the Debutante III to an upset
win over the Wolverine, international
Stuart Cup champ for 18 years. That
was in 1922 and Johnny held the
Cup for the next IL years.
He has broken a lot of records, but
he's proudest of his mad trip with the
Mercury on Green Bay. He hit the
then-unbelievable speed of 1872 miles
an hour, But he was almost killed
doing it. A raging northwesterly gale
swept the ship like a thunderbolt,
also whipped a slab of wood across
the ice from shore sawmill 1t caught
under the steering runner of the craft.
Out of control, the Mercury reeled
toward open water.
CLOSE CALL. At the last moment
the slab cleared, and Skipper Buck
staff swerved short of an icy plunge
- by inches.
On the two-mile backstretch, he
picked up the gale, flashed past shiv-
ering judges whose stop watches
averaged 54 seconds.
How did it feel? Said Johnny:
Il don't know. Either my heart froze
or it didn't have time to reach my
mouth" - J. JULIUS FAkTA

DISPLACED PERSON. We're suck
ers for little-girl stories, 50 bear with
us for moment: Five year old jamie
had picked up some swear words and
her exasperated mother said that the
next time she used such language
she'd have to leave the house. There
was next time, of course. jamie was
promptly ordered out of the house.
She sat down on the front steps for
a while, and presently a neighbor lady
approached.
"Is your mother homer" asked the
neighbor.
Damned if l know" said jamie.

 In Suddenly It's Spring." Ar- len Whelan (according to her studio) will wear a film negligee of chiffon and lace. When worn by Miss Whelan,p prophecies the stu- dio, 'it will leave the impression that she is wearing only the lace" It this the kind of thing which de- cent Americans find SO objection able in Hollywood. After setting up a code which every studio is expected to honor, individual pro- ducers spend their spare time try- ing to find wa9s to discredit that same code. Only when Hollywood tries to follow the spirit of it's self- made regulations, rather than the letter, will good taste dominate the screen.
 
 A group of newsreel photograph CTS have been notified by their res- pective companies that they will be permitted" to film the atomic bomb tests the Navy will carry out this spring.

I, too, would rather read about it. But I am a little surprised at their reaction. These lads have been photographing tenn permental glamour stars for years. Having witnessed some of their ex- plosions, It seems to me the atomic bomb test will, by comparison, be but a small pop.

And it's ten to one, the actor was not even embarrassed when he turned down the offer, giving as an excuse that "he was too busy" to take on an added chore.

HOLLYWOOD, April 2-There ia project being carried out in Hollywood in which movie biz. gies might well participate. Two men, Johnny Carpenter and Bob Anderson, just two good citizens, are devoting their time and efforts to encouraging blind war veterans to rebuild their lives around normal channels. At first, the two concen- trated on recreational activities, such as horsebacE riding and bowl- ing. Anderson, himself blind, is an
 expert bowler whose own aff1iction showed how much benefit could be obtained from competitive sports.
 But from their association with these blind heroes, they are now finding ways to establish them in more lucrative fields. For instance, among their riders they have dis covered five natural" musicians. These musicians have formed band which Carpenter has booked into the Los Angeles Paddock Club for a ten weeks engagement. The con- tract was signed after the owners of the club had spent a bare few minutes listning to the men play.
 Now Carpenter, who is cow boy actor, is trying to get the gov- ernment to build barracks with stables attached to provide out door activities for the veterans. It strikes me that here is a worthy monument to our war dead, and one to which the stars should lend active support. It is more fitting to commemorate dead heroes by making life easier for their living disabled comrades, than to raise a shaft of cold marble in their honor. The long list of movie folk wilo dld such magnificent job in

CAREFUL DRIVING

One minute you are living and the next
minute you are dead.
That circumstance has occurred so
many thousands of times in automobile
accidents that the newspapers and news
commentators in the United States have
repeatedly appealed to drivers to exer-
else the utmost care, because, in the twink
ling of an eye, life may be lost by the
crash of an automobile.
The Citizen had that thought in mind
when it published several paragraphs be-
fore Christmas and New Years, warning
drivers of the dangers that beset them
during the holiday season when the num-
Der of cars on the highways is larger at
that time than usually.
Throughout the country, newspapers,
this holiday season, called on drivers more
often than ever before, to be watchful to
avoid accidents, but, Judging by the num-
Der of people who lost their lives in auto
mobile accidents, the warnings were of
little avail. AS usual, many more persons
were killed in traffic accidents over the
weekend Christmas and the weekend New
Years than in all other accidents COM
bined.
Many parts of the country were af-
fected by fatalities caused by automobile
accidents, and New Years morning one
of them occurred in Key West. It took the
life of man who was liked by everybody
who knew him, it took the life of man
who was sstrong and healthy one minute
and was dead the next
A split second is sufficient to cause
an automobile crash. The fact is it occurs
so suddenly there is no time to avoid it. The
only way to avoid an accident is to drive
carefully and take nothing for granted, be-
cause if you do, you may be. the victim of
another drivers carelessness.

NO FREEDOM WITHOUT
FREE MARKETS

The New York Stock Exchange points
out a fact in a recent advertisement that
the American people seem to have almost
forgotten; namely, that the foundation of
freedom in the United States is "free mar
kets." Our country was guilt on that basis.
Every individual had the right to produce
and sell to the limit of his ability. We have
just fought a second World War to uphold
the right of the individual to personal free
dom. How far freedom of the individual
will be assured, remains to be seen. But
without free markets, there will be no free
opportunity.
The United States was built by the
courage and initiative of individuals. While
this nation was growing strong under the
stimulus of free opportunity, free markets
and the opportunity for profit, European
nations decaying and the people becoming
pawns of poWer-seeking politicians. For
some years we have been copying more
and more the European system under which
government inareturn for bogus form of
security, takes over the rights of the in
dividual and limits his freedom of oppor-
tunity.
State socialism and free markets do
not exist together.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1946-01-02

priced ranges went to soldiers,
sailors during the war and the
government is still buying largely
for the home camps and separa-
ton centers. Thus, said Mr.. Gregg,
there has been, and will continue
to be occasionally, shortage of GER
tain brands in the civilian market.
Now, the discharged veterans who
learned to enjoy these cigars over
seas, are calling for them at re-
tail counters.
Re Even with a curtailment of
overseas government purchasing
the industry is strained in meeting
demands of new consumers on top
of the usual call by the civilian
market.
Popularity of cigars among mil
lions of new smokers, young men
in, and just out of, military uni
form, Mr.. Gregg predicted, is a
main foundation for an optimistic
viewpoint as to the cigar indus
try's future.
Returning veterans, he pointed
out, are beginning to create Gig
ar smoking vogue particularly at
the university age level because
so many of them are returning to
college campuses throughout the
nation to complete their education
which was interrupted when they
were called into military service.
Mr.. Gregg was Deputy Red
Cross Commissioner in England
and on the European continent,
and he said he had heard Uncle
Sans troops admiringly referred
to as "a cigar-smoking, gum chew
ing army"
The cigar offered to smokers by
reputable manufacturers, he de-
clared, has retained under war
conditions all the qualities which
smokers are ready to fight for.
Currently, there is gradual thin
ming out of poor quality, high
priced cigars thrown on the coun-
tiers by opportunist manufactu-
rerS.
To summarize, we expect that
the shortage of cigars will be a
thing of the past within the next
six months, but return to pre-
war prices canot be expected so
promptly.

; THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE

undoubtedly, the tariff is beginning
10 force itself into the limelight as an issue
10 be passed upon by the American people.
One may assume, Immediately, that
those who benefit by high tariffs Will yell
with pain every time reduction is suggest
ed One may not assume, Oft-hand, that
because of this interest that the injury is
imaginary or that the United States can
abolish tariffs
It is fair. however, to discount some
of the loud shrieks that arise at the men
ton of lower trade barriers and to consider
whether the gain to the protected interest
is big enough, from the standpoint of ma
tional welfare, to offset the price that the
people. who are consumers of protected
things, have to pay. In other words, the
national economic well-being should come
first even though one is willing to weigh
the respective interests and diverse testi-
mony.
One can easily see that world cOndi-
tions have changed somewhat since the
United States began its tariff policy. Ma
ton after nation has followed our example.
Higher tariffs have been set up, restrictive
quotas are general and allOtmentS have dis
tributed markets at the whim of almost
every country Under such load inter-
national trade has dwindled and the ques-
ton arises whether all nations might not
profit by some lowering of trade barriers
to stimulate world commerce.
1t is not our purpose in this short
article to attempt any answer to the ques-
" ont Oh
time. that the American people might as
well do some thinking. 1t may be that our
future welfare as nation, and the stand
ard of living Of our farmers and workers,
will depend upon what we decide.
