SETTING RECORDS

Setting a record is of general interest,
whether it applies to athletics or to any
other thing.
In baseball there are dozens of records,
and breaking any of them makes news
in the press and over the radio.
r. L. Frost, meteorologist in charge of
the Key West Weather Bureau, is on tip
toe waiting for the 77-year record of rain
1T seemed few days ago." he said to
The Citizen. that the July record for rain
fall. made in 1916, was on the point of
being broken but the skies cleared when
we needed only little more than four
-hundredths of an inch to establish a
new record"
The July, 1916. record of rainfall was
1899 inches; for this month it stands at
1885 inches. The period covered by the
record goes back to 1870 when the Wealth
er Bureau was established here.
Chances are the record will be broken
this month, although nobody can tell
what the weather will be two weeks ahead
or It's coming. Ii fairly heavy shower,
though it lasts only few minutes occurs
in Key West before July 81, you may feel
sure the record has fallen.
Mr.. Frost had heard that Key West
was in the track of hurricanes, but his
thorough examination of the records in the
bureaus office here has convinced him
that just the reverse is true. He thinks
that Key West is tucked away from the
general course of hurricanes, but. he add
ed. whether or not that is so, the records
in the bureau show that the center of a
hurricane has passed over Key West only
once since the bureau was established.
That occurred during hurricane in 1876,
which Oldtimers, score of years ago, re-
currently discussed

Abuses bring on reforms. It was the
saloon-keeper that produced prohibition
by permitting his customers to get drunk
and serving them after they were drunk.
These abuses continue at the present time
and as a result the W.C.T.U. is becoming
active again Likewise the physicians will
bring on socialized medicine unless they
stop charging exorbitant prices for their
professional services.

it has been evidenced that so
many visitors here have received
misleading information in Miami
and lower Florida East Coast
cities about Key West, that it is
felt a bureau such as is planned
will be helpful in distributing
true information about what this
city has to offer.
In addition to dealing with
tourists themselves, the bureau
manager will be in position to
distribute literature and other
advertising materials to hotels,
service stations and information
offices in Miami, who in turn can
pass them on to tourists whom
they may contact.

The biggest outbreak was in Lou

four children died, including two
brothers. Since then more thar
500 persons in that part Of Virginia
have been tested, and while q
showed showed skin sensitivity
there has been no recurrence ot
the malady.
The disease Is histoplasmosic. II
Is caused by o fungus or mold, the
histoplasmus. which in some way
gets inside the individual cells Of
the body and multiplies. 1t is the
only fungus known to do this.
The fungus causes a generalized
infection, particularly affecting the
liver, spleen, lungs and adrenal
glands.
There is no known method OF
treating the disease. While skin
test might indicate that an individ-
ual has had a mild form of the
disease and has developed defense
against it, the results to date are
quite doubtful. The test cannot be
considered specific. DR.. Emmons
said. There Is no evidence that the
disease can be passed from person
to person.

New Employment Record
Hits Recession Fears

Government analysts who had
forecast recession did some cheer
full hedging yesterday as the Census
Bureau reported that civilian en-
ployment rose to an all-time high
Of So, ,330, 900 in May. ,
This. development, along with re-
ports that retail sales are holding up
better than generally expected, has
considerably frightened the overall
economic picture, officials said.
With civilian employment eclipsing
even the war years, the total number
of Americans in paying jobs went to
$4,000, 600, including 1,470,000 in the
armed forces.
The total has peen topped only In
the July August periods of 1945 and
1916, when the strength of the armed
forces was much higher and the peak
summer employment season was on
The number of civilians with jobs
in May represented a gain of ap-
proximately 100000 over the pre-
vious month.
