The Navy has 16 permanent con-
crete two-story barracks empty
at Boca Chica that are bigger and
better buildings at Porter Place
which could house many fam
lilies.
The Navy is unpredictable.
Just last week headlines in The
Citizen said six officers and 119
enlisted men were to be relieved
by October first. What may be
the headlines next week or next
year or five years from now?
This $1,500,000 gift of Poinciana
Place isn't Indian giving-We
won't get it back. 1t may be
boarded up in a year or less like
a hundred other government
buildings are now, but it won't
be available to house our citi-
zens and veterans again ever.
Let's not be fooled by the pre-
diction that the giving of this
project to the Navy will assure us
the Special Weapons School or
another air detachment or a new
submarine squadron coming to
Key West. Or that the decision
will result in future harmony or
discohrd between the Navy and
the City. The future of the Navy
in Key West will be decided in
washington and what may be in
the minds of a few powerful in
dividuals at that time.
We hope that if the Navy ever
does need more housing in the
future that they can build some
thing much better than their
last two projects at Fort Taylor
and Rest Beach. Those two
projects are an eyesore on the
face of the island. No wonder
they would like beautiful Poin-
ciana Place with its neat lawns,
and luscious foliage?
! We are glad the Navy is here
in such large force and we know
we need them for the economic
good of the city and we hope
they stay, but we refuse to be-
lieve they must have Poinciana
place or else close down the
whole Navy Yard.
We pray that our City Fathers
will be correct in their decision
and that it will be proven that
they acted in the best interests
OF the community and its citi-
Zens.

a S OLD Sven Larson had sus-
pended all logging operations
for the day Of the fire. the men
were able to rest and laze around
so that physically they would be
in fine shape for work on Tues
day.
But Doug wondered If giving
them an extra holiday was a good
idea.
Idleness permitted time for
speculation. Runor was running
rife in camp, and in Queet'S where
the married loggers had returned
to their homes, it was a safe bet
that gossip flowed swiftly from
house to house.
The next day was clear and sun
lit with a brisk northern breeze
blowing in from the Juan de Fuca
straits. When the gang reached
the clearing Hardin walked into
the timber some distance and
scanned 150-foot fir. It was

Looie Bates was off working in
another section. Hardin's eyes fell
on Doug; his lips twisted in a thin
smile. "Well. Andrews. looks like
you've got another job of work"
Meaning you want it topped?'
Doug asked.
"Why not? You did so well the
other day."
Doug shrugged. He was rested
now. His hands were calloused
instead of blistered. He felt none
of the fear he had experienced in
going up to rig the spar tree.
He strapped the climbing irons
to his boots. examined the steel
cored rope that snapped around
the tree to his leather harness
