been for many years an active
firm here. Established by Louis
Pollock IL years ago, it was pur-
chased in June, 1914 by his son,
the present owner and manager,
Robert E. Pollock.
Having lived in Palm Beach
and Nassau, Mr.. Pollock thought
no city could offer more than
those two well known resorts,
Consequently, his original in
tention was to dispose of the
business quickly and return to
New York. Paradoxically, it was
that experience which immedi-
ately made him realize that
Key West had more, inherent
natural resources than either OF
the two above cities.
All that was needed was to in
form the public of this and Key
West would assume its rightful
position.
With this thought in mind he
made Key West his permanent
home and its future became his
future. In his unassuming man

Then he will appreciate the honor of being one OF
our company"
The opportunity presented itself when they came
across the rotted carcass of dead lion.
See here" they said, I'VE shall make this carcass
come to life"
Il should not advise it," answered their simple
friend But they ignored him.
Il can restore the framework of this beast, the
skeleton and skin.' said one and he did so.
Il can restore the dead fesh," said the second
Brahman, make whole the damaged organs the
veins and nerves." He was as good as his word, and
the lions carcass needed only the breath of life.
That can supply" said the third.
do So" said the simple Brahman, while climb
a tree"
But the third Brahman paid no heed to his words
and whispered the magic incantation.
The lion stirred, rose his feet, and seeing the
Brahmans, emitted great Suddenly realizing
their danger the scientists fed, but the lion was
faster He pounced on them. and slew them all three.
The fourth Brahman. in the tree. waited until the
lion was sated and had departed. Then he climbed
down from the tree to return to his village and resume
his temple duties.

A YOUNG man was talking to his professor about
IA Operation Crossroads He was excited about
the impending drama of atomic energy
The Bikini experiment, " said the young man with
enthusiasm, represents the triumph of scientific
achievement. With science, everything is possible.
Science is supreme"
No doubt said the old professor Science is
indeed wonderful. And yet let me tell you story:
HERE were four Brahmans in India who attended
the university and remained friends after they
went out into the world One was simple fellow,
content in the performance of his temple duties The
other three. however. probed into the mysteries of
life until they discovered the nature Of matter and
the particles that compose it. With this knowledge
they could transform human being into beast but
not vice versa). and could make themselves vanish,
to reappear in instant thousands of miles away.
Clearly the village in which they lived was too small
to contain such vast knowledge and they determined
to travel and make known their science to the people
in the cities They debated among themselves whether
to take along the simple priest, who knew no magic
and could perform no miracles Ultimately friendship
prevailed But all during their journey they Dragged
continually of their knowledge, and were irritated
because the simple Brahman did not seem impressed.

suits they wear, women are still re-
puted to be the modest, romantic SEX.
and men the practical. hmd-headed

ponder a statement made by the
fire department of a large West Coast

it has found that when a fire emer-

10,8OO, ,OOO Vets Have Found Jobs

Washington, D. C.-Of a total of 1872 million male veterans back in civilion life by early February, 1O.8 million had found jobs and mil lion were unemployed. These fig ures are presented in the current issue of The Labor Market" pub lication of the U. s. Employment Service, U. s. Department Of La bor.
 Labor Market indicates that an inflow of over 200, ,000 veterans in- to the civilian labor force was the major labor supply development in February. Census data indicated that the increase was somewhat greater than in the preceding few months despite a sharp reduction in the rate of demobilization. It reflected primarily the entry into the labor market of over 100000 veterans, discharged in earlier months, who had apparently com- pleted their post-discharge vaca- tions shortly after the turn of the year.
 In addition to those employed and unemployed 1.2 million veterans were in school full time. More than 21s million ex-servicemen are cur rently utilizing their educational and training privileges on either full or part time basis. About 75O,- 900 of these are receiving on the job training.

Prominent Women
 Visit UNIT Experiment

During Army Week the mem-
 bers of the Army's Universal Mili- tary Training experimental unit at Fort Knox, Kentucky, held open house. Guests included group of women representing outstanding national educational, labor and wei fare wOmen's organizations. Inter-
 ested in the varied fields of in-
 struction, the visitors asked the
 trainees first-harad questions con- corning the details of the courses. Miss Hazel Nelson. executive
 secretary. Committee on National Defense, D. A. R., of Washington, D. C., said, II consider it privi- lege to be able to visit and inspect UNIT experimental unit at Fort Knox. The entire plan is well
 thought out, well organized and
 we'll managed. With the training supervision entrusted to splendid
 officers of the calibre of Brigadier General John M. Devine, command
 ing the unit, we will not have to
 worry about the success of UNIT. It should be assured.'
 Miss Nelson continued, "The D. A. R. has consistently counseled and supported national prepared ness. UMT is an excellent develop ment of preparedness training. which should be continued for the good of our young men as well as for the security of the country"
 Miss Grace Hurd, Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War, Washington, D. C., said: My fa- ther was IT when he fought at An- tietam. I have three nephews who fought in the Pacific. What I have seen at this unit proves to me that our young men need this kind of training for their own protection. But it is more than military train ing. It is also mental development that they are getting. And that. l feel, is important"
 Mrs. Alfred R. Bachrach, Nation al Jewish Welfare Board, New
 York City, explained that she pre-
 ferred to speak as an individual, rather than in any official capacity.
 She said, Let me speak, then, only
 for myself. As mother of two
 sons, I found my visit to UNIT to
 be an extremely interesting experi- ence. wish that all mothers could have similar opportunity. to view the UNIT program at first hand, so that they might reach their own conclusions as to it's value, after seeing it in action" Miss Lillyn McAlinden, American Federation of Women's Auxiliaries of Labor, said she could not speak for her organization at this time. Emphasizing that she was speaking from her own viewpoint, Miss Me- Alinden said she was very favor ably impressed, and that the in- spection tour was educational. Two other members of the party were Miss Helen Hosp, Associate in Higher Education, American Asso-
 citation of University Women, and Msr. Frank A. Lenzel, Director, Washington Roundtable, National Conference of Christians and Jews. The group met General Devine, who gave, them an insight into the purposes of UNIT. Thereafter they spoke with the chaplains who out lined what was being done for the 1 trainees' spiritual guidance.

We print here advisedly a copy of a letter addressed to Rep. Seely-Brown in answer to com ment made by a member of our staff, to a comment made by member of our staff. Henry Stoner.
 IS March, 1947 Dear MT. Seely-Brown:
 Your letter of March, 1947, ad- dressed to Commander Willard D. Michael, Naval Liaison Officer, has been referred to me for reply. You enclosed a copy of the let ter which you had received from MT. Henry Stoner of Groton, Con- necticut, and requested the advice of the Navy Department with par ticu1ar reference to the second paragraph of MT. Stoner's letter. In the referenced paragraph, MT. Stoner stated that a large number of submarines were punched up together at the New London Sub- marine Base and would make a perfect target for a blitz attack. It is assumed that MT. Stoner's comment refers to the New Lon- don Group of the Atlantic Reserve Fleet which contains at present g submarines.
 MT. Stoner's point is well taken. The cirtues of dispersal in min imizing the effects of surprise at tacks are understood and have been thoroughly considered by the Navy Department. However, in laying up the extensive Rereve Fleets it has been necessary to accept a certain amount of risk in order to make the. best use of existing berthing facilities rather than to construct at a high cost many small facilities in isolated localities.
 In the case of submarines, it was necessary because of their material peculiarities to concentrate those in the Atlantic at New London and those in the Pacific at Mare Island where their inactivation could be expeditiously and econ omical1y accomplished. In the case of ships not requiring such special attention the maximum amount of dispersal compatible with limited funds available has been accomplished; for example, the aircraft carriers in the Atlan- tic Reserve Fleet have been di- vided between Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk. How ever, the total number of ships of all kinds at each of the several berthing areas is comparable to, or exceeds, the number of subma- rines at New London.
