PrO-U.S. Texts
Raped

HONG KONG.-[P).- The Chi
nese Communist have found
"venomous worship of u. S. ideol-
ogy" in a couple of their own
geography texts.
The official Peoples Daily OF
Pr iping charges one book made
the party-line error of saying the
United States led in reserves and
output of coal, oil and iron and
was first in the production Of
copper, zinc and lead.
The newspaper said the
geography should have noted in
stead that Russia surpassed the
United States in copper and lead
reserves. The book also erred in
failing to mention the aggressive
purposes of the U S. in the
Pacific.
The newspaper raped the
second book for observing: The
rich mineral resources are the
major factors in the u, SIS sue
cess as a capitalist nation at the
highest industrial level In the
world"

The landlord now refuses payment

A. No. The matter is now up TO
the local court. oRS can only re-
quire that the tenant be given 3

that his rent is due before eviction

the rent Law allows US TO restrict
evictions but the actual evicting is
done, as has always been the case,
through local courts.

"Pessimistic" Glib is coming
I'D with some more observations,
This time on the newly organized
Key West Baseball Club and he
hopes that he is wrong.
With all due credit being
given to the organization and
hackers of the club, l still can't
see how they can possibly hope
to break even on the deal The
first few games will probably
draw large crowds, Then. in
typical Key West fashion, attend
ance will start to dwindle.
II won't be because Key West
ers don't want TO support their
ball club. They like and enjoy
baseball. The trouble is that
nowadays, people are having
hard time to pay actual living ex-
penses plus taxes. They simply
can't afford to go to ball games
every night in the week.
Junior Leagues
There will also be the COM
petition furnished by the young
people playing at Bayview Park
Most parents would rather watch
their son knock two-bagger than
to see Babe Ruth swat home
run. For this they can't be blam-
ed.
If you want to see a successful
gathering of large crowds here in
Key West. just rig up something
that includes the children of the
town. Half of the people who at
tended a recent political rally
went to hear the high school
band, not the politicians.
Another hindrance to ball
club here on the Island is the
fact that we have no back
country to call upon. Tourists are
not likely to go to ball games.
They prefer to see the unusual,
unholy spectacle we call KEY
West night-life." And to hear the
raucous blaring that emanates
from the bars and clubs along
Duval street. After all, they can
see ball game at home but Cen
trail Avenue in Panama is per-
haps the closest place that one
can see the sights he sees on
Duval street.

Board and sure enough, there is

Philip Bari, Glen Bludworth, and

Royal Poincianas
The most beautiful sight on the
Island today are the flaming
poinciana trees. Especially when
they are near the waters edge
and are framed against the deep
blue of the ocean.

val each year" says Mrs. Jennie
DeBoer. Key West ought %
have something of a like nature"
I'm inclined to agree with her.
We don't capitalize enough on
our bounty from Nature.
One of the reasons President
Truman became so captivated
with Key West and made it his
winter residence was because OF
the beauty of the flowers-es-
pecially the Flame Tree" or

The other people include Pats

NOTES

HOLLYWOOD tR-Veteran Actor
Paul Kelly is in the Unique posi-
ton of wanting to be a star on

That sounds antithetical, if you

Let the young kids carry the load

Kelly, who is currently playing
a frontier character in Rough

pictures for the present. Born in
Brooklyn, he's a naturalized Cali

more money in a shorter time by
working in films. although plays
sometimes pay off more in the
long run.
