The Firing Line By D. N. T.

"The crow usually does not fly in 8 straight line but zigzags. Stray note.
 ON DEBUNKING The beacons that we lived by go Into the limbo of remorse. Consider, now: The storied crow Goes winging an eccentric course. When "as the crow flies" was the
 rule
 A rule, alas, that's out of date The line to desired thule Predictably was true and straight. But accuracy sets the laws And throws the old ones in the bag, And as the crow flies" fails because The crow must zig and also zag. I rue the shattering of truth" Upon the keen observers eye, The saw that guided me in youth, Now given, direct, the Scornful lie. So blast the blaSters of the old! Not crows, but they, are out of joint! The crows flight is the line I'll hold, In figuring from point to point.
 Marshal Tito says that he has or dered his military forces not to fire on foreign aircraft. We'll be better off, however, if we don't use the Yugoslavian air-even for breathing.
 The Soviet Ukraine charges that Greece is endangering the peace of the world. It is still extremely diff cult to play the role of bully of the world from horizontal position,
 College professors may be deferred from the draft under a new ruling of Selective Service. A few absent minded local boards may forget and call some and a few professors may forget to protest.

 The old argument about where Cape Cod begins has been renewed again. Judging from the general lines of the cottages we saw in a recent housing development picture, it begins in Saginaw, Michigan.
 The Agriculture Department would like to find some method of deter mining when a melon is ripe. Why doesn't it just follow the old fashion ed theory-never?
 All interpretations of the New York primary elections point to the startling and almost unheard- of fact that this is tWo-party country.

But owners of the property in London hedged about with restrc- tionS, and the Duke of Westminster who nearly square mile of real in the center of London is no exception.
 According to the Grosvenor Square Act of 1885 exclusive rights to use and enjoy the square are conferred on the owners and occupiers of houses the premises encompasSing and abutting on the square. Since the proposed garden is to be open o the public, these rights have be "extngushed" by an act of Parliament Two other acts, the London Squares Preservation Act of 1881, which restricts alterations to such properties and the Settled Lands Act which concerns the legal position of landord whose property is entaed will also have to be amended

DE CUSTIBUS

Editor, The Citizen:
Living in an era which empha-
sizes the doing without of this or
the other item of food, / would
like to add my two cents worth
with regard to our local situa-
ton.
Many of US so-called "outsid-
ers" would heave a sigh of relief
If City Manager King, Mr.. Gerald
Saunders, or Mrs, Dan Navarro
would engage in a campaign to
limit the amount of sweet oil and
garlic consumed by some of our
citizens.
This may seem to some like a
piece of foolishness but if you
lived as close to one of these
families as I do you would UNI
derstand the logic in this sugges-
ton.
Day in and day out this par
ticular family 1865 days a year,
never fails to use these two in
gradients as a part of their diet.
/ have become so accustomed
to the odor that even on a short
trip to Miami, disgusting as it is,
/ seem to miss it, and returning
over the Overseas Highway, it
seems that I can detect the aroma
when l hit Big Pine Key.

Nation Wide Appeal For
Student Nurses

The shortage of competent
nurses and technicians and other
experienced personnel at the Key
West General Hospital is the main
factor preventing full utilization
of facilities there. A great
amount of effort has been ex-
pended to fully staff the institu-
ton but to no avail The short
age of competent medical and
technical personnel is acute the
country over.
s The following item, supplied

Service. will be of interest to all

Reporting that more than SIS
percent of 1860 hospitals survey
ed, in the nation now have UNI
used beds and % percent of all
hospitals have been. forced to
close wards, beds and entire
wings due to the acute shortage
of nurses, the National Nursing
Council this week is launching a
nationwide appeal for $4,000 adj
ditional nursing students.
Aiming their appeal at women
between the ages of 10 and 81
years who are high school grad
yates, the council appealed for
immediate registrations by these
women in the nearest recognized
training school.
Pointing out that nursing ex-
,ecutives now earn as high as $8,-
900 annually, the council declar-
ed that nursing schools provide
the equivalent of a college edu-
cation at a minimum cost, pre-
pairing the student for a lifetime
of usefulness whether she choos-
les marriage, a nursing career, or
both. Asking that interested
women register Immediately in
the nearest recognized training
school, special appeal for regis
