NORFOLK, April 12.-4P.-
Join the Navy end Sec the
World" That's what they used
TO say--but these days they've
got a lot more than that to say.
especially about the submarine
rvice. That's where they use
only volunteers. And these days
the potential volunteers arc be-
ing tempted with an unheardl-of
variety Of creature comforts.
The slogan might be aJoin the
Submarine Service for Hot and
Cold Showers, Suntan. Lamps
and All the Comforts Of Home!'
And, of course, the submarine
service pays better than other
branches-as it always has.
The recruiting ~logans arc
more than just talk. The new
submarines actually do have
shower baths. They do have
ceilings painted pale blue--like
the sky. They do have sun
lamps to provide the necessary
vitamins And there are even
automatic washing machines for
the lads. Shivcr me timbcrs.
And this is only the beginning
Navy officers have plans to pro-
duce a submarine that can stay
under water indefinitely land
travel at IS knots-which i
about double the speed of the
fast' submarine now afloat--ol
is it submerged? The new sub
marine, of course, is to be pow

begins on this next July, but il
will be two years before it is
perfected.

Food Handlers

DIR. L. K. Langford
Gives Examples Of
Improper Methods
OF Food Handling

In an interview this morning,
DR.. E. K. Langford, Monroe
county health officer, gave few
examples of improper methods OF
food handling which one finds
frequently in restaurants and
bars.
He called attention to the fact
that customers served from a lip
stained glass or cup seldom re-
turn. This being but small sign
that one Of the many steps in the
preparation of food and bevcr-
ages has been neglected.
Another example he related
was that the latest stainless steel
equipment docs not exclude the
workers thumb from the soup.
The Fobd Handlers training
program in Key West will show
how these two examples plus
many OtHtA NtolbiC dllN ttlfloiDlE
will govern the popularity, in.
como and ultimate fate OF any
establishment.
Or. LanEford calls attention 10
the fact that a swanky front,
ocautrul equipment, and snowy
uniforms and menus do not make
restaurant the bcs. and safest
place to cat Only informed and
conscientious operators, trained
and supervised food handlers, and
above all, an aware and yigilant
public is essential TO prevent the
transmission OF disease in our
public eating and drinking places.
To protect the health Of our
people a joint Navy Civilian Food
Handlers Training School will be
held at tho Elks Club Annex start
ing at $3.50 in the morning on the

ing program will be repeated

CarboneII Asks Ministers
For Opportunity To Address
Their Group On Open Town
Declares Key
West Has
No Real
Gambling

Louis CarbonelI, city
commissioner, today asked
the Key West Ministerial
Association for an oppor-
tunity to address the body
on the subject of an open
town"
Carbonell asked that he
be heard before judgement
is passed.
The city commissioner
wants to make it clear that
he is opposed to 'hoodlums'
and 'racketeers'. And if
they ever come to Key
West-he will be the first
to drive them out.
when people say they are
against an open town, are they
also against churches and charit-
able organizations raising funds
by raffles, cards, bingo?''
Let's take the Navy Charity
Carnival? Where did the Money
90? Every dime was given to
some worthy cause, such as the
Red Cross, Polio. Cancer and other
fine organizations.
Zone civic organization ratified
an automobile in order to raise
money for x-ray equipment at the
Monroe General Hospital. h
If the town were closed, and
the law strictly enfroced, all of
this would have to stop.
II sincerely believe we do moi
have any real gambling in KeY
West. What we have can be
termed simply "chicken-feed."
s'This question of gambling has
been brought up many times in
city commission meetings. The
same man who brings the matter
up at the meeting, forgets all
about it at termination of tho
affair. Nothing is ever done.
.'Once again, I'd like to ask the
Ministerial Association for the
opportunity of addressing their
body on what mean by liberal
policy, and an open town

this request. "

Hicks widow. Virginia Will
liams Hicks, %, told The Citizen
today that her husband has an
other brother who has been report
cd missing in Korea since jan
uary.
Mrs. Hicks said:
The last time saw my hus-
band. he and the other men
were still tied to the piling out
at Boca Chica beach. l never
saw them drift out 10 sea at all.
II was on tho beach with Mrs.
n. j. Caspar, my children and
John Puopolo. When il began rain
ing we and neighbor sat in our
car for shelter.
"At about 3:45 we drove to tho
point and saw my husband, his
uncle and the other two men, still
fishing from their boat, tied to-
the piling.
My husband loves To- fish
and doesn't like to stop when he
gets started.
About halt an hour later We
vent back to tell them it was time
to go home.
''Wc looked and they were gone.
We tried to ect a boat from near
by. We went to Macs Iunchroom.
We were told to wait awhile be-
fore notifying the Coast Guard
that the men raieht show up.
I'VE waited on the beach look
ing for any sign of the men. We
saw an object out in the ocean
but couldn't make out what it
was.
"At 7:45 John Puopolo notified
the operations officer at Boca
Chica of the missing boat Mrs.
Caspar and waited in the car
outside Boca Chica gate. He was
gone about As minutes"
When he returned Puopolo told
the women that they had been
advised by the Coast Guard to go
out to the point where they had
last seen the men and blink their
car head lights five times. The
Coast Guard boat searching for
the missing men would answer in
the same way.
st took us until 10 to get a re-
ponSc from tho Coast Guard boat,
Then they discontinued the search
about 2 o'clock"
Meanwhile Mrs. Hicks went
home and tried to rest. Sleeping
fitfully she dreamed that all four
men were safe.
The Coast Guard and Navy re-
sumed their search at daybreak
Mrs. Hicks oldest boy aged q,

Has my daddy come home
Yet?"
He had not. Frantic, Mrs. Hicks
rushed down to the Naval base
with a friend to see if any infor-
nation had como in there. She had
called all over town trying to
learn developments.
AS she and neighbor pulled
UP at the Navy Yard gate, the
guards asked her to pull over TO
the middle parking area.
John Puopolo came over to
Mrs. Hicks and said:
They have found two men.
They are dead. They are pretty
sure it's Clyde and Roberts"
Mrs. Hicks went home. She was
met by Pritchards' representatives,
c. Sam B. Curry and Ira Albury.
