"MONKEY SHINES"

+ What did dry ice do to the hurricane
that passed so miles west of Key West on
October IL?
Grady Norton, Miami meteorologist,
comments on that question but does not
answer it because. he says, Army and
Navy flyers and chemists, who seeded the
hurricane with dry ice, have not yet made
their report.
But Norton declares, the hurricane
acted as no other hurricane had acted
during his experience with storms of that
type. During the night of October 10, the
hurricane passed over the western tip of
Cuba where winds, in gusts, attained
velocity of 81 miles an hour. Havana re-
ported highest winds at 40 miles.
Two hours before the center of the
hurricane struck Dry Tortugas, :airplane
pilots reported highest winds at IS miles
an hour, yet when the hurricane struck
the Tortugas area it blew away an anemo-
meter, and the velocity was estimated at
$50 miles an hour.
Probably that estimate is nigh, but the
velocity did exceed 100 miles when the
thermometer was destroyed. What made
the hurricane gain in intensity in so short
time?
The .experimenters did not say wheth-
err or not they attacked the hurricane
with dry ice while on it's way from Cuba
to the Tortugas. However that may be, the
wind not only increased but, later on,
terrific thunderstorm developed in the hur-
sficane and spread from Homestead to
iMest Palm Beach.
sfss! But the scientists have admitted that
they seeded the hurricane with dry ice
when it was 100 miles southeast of Cape
Hatteras and moving northwardly. And
what happened? The center disintegrated
and another center developed 200 miles
to the southwest, but instead of moving
northwardly, it's course was changed to-
ward the west causing it to strike Savan-
nah and other places in Georgia.
No wonder commission in Georgia
has protested to the United States Wealth
err Bureau that the people of Savannah
were not given sufficient warning to take
precautions against the hurricane. But
the Weather Bureau is not to blame be-
cause of the monkey shines" committed
by the hurricane. The complaint should
be sent to the men who seeded the hurri-
cane with dry ice. -

DEADLY DISEASES IGNORED

John R. Steelman, chairman of the
Presidents Scientific Research Board, re-
ports that some of the diseases which take
a high toll of human life and health are
receiving little attention in medical re-
search programs.
The Board recommends that the
government, industry, universities and
other private groups increase their out
lays for medical research, with most of
the expansion coming from public funds
to supplement, not replace, other active
funds.
The maladies to which scientific re-
search, but the other diseases are not
rhumatism kidneys, influenza and the
common cold. They are not receiving the
attention that other diseases are getting
and there seems to be need for balanced
medical research program.
p According to report, cancer, venereal
diseases and tuberculosis have priority
under investigation in Federal medical re-
search, but ire other diseases are not
equally stressed. Little research is devot-
ed to diseases of the heart and arteries.
those associated with middle and old age
and acute respiratory diseases. Mental
diseases and dental diseases, widely pre-
valent, have received practically no at
tention.

HOW TO, WASH DISHES

Women of Key West who wash dishes,
or their husbands who do the work for
them, may be interested in the declara-
tien of experts that it is more economical
of time and motion to wash dishes from
right to left.
The analysis is based upon motion
pictures which reveal the wasted effort
that goes into little motions not ordinarily
observed.
Consequently, the experts suggest the
right-to-ieft approach over the left-to-
right procedure.

week campaign which seeks to enroll the
students of Key West 100 per cent as
Junior Red Cross members.
The Key West Citizen, knowing of the
wonderful opportunity for service to 9th
ers which the Junior Red Cross offers,
heartily endorses the membership cam
paign in the local schools.
Founded in 1917 by President Wood
row Wilson, the Junior Red Cross has
grown to an organization of 100000
members working toward the betterment
of their fellows.
It's members make gift boxes for dis
tribution to children overseas, favors for
patients in the Naval Hospital, as we'll as
provide entertainment for them. Make toys
for blind children and children in the de-
vastated areas of Europe, assist in CON-
munity betterment programs; and serve
otherwise. t...

in useful activities, there is little oppor-
tunity for them to become in pastimes' that
lead to juvenile delinquency cases. >"
This newspaper hopes Key West stu
dents will enroll 100 per cent in the Junior
Red Cross.
