and the Coast Guard brought the
victim to Key West from Dry Tor

Since then, however, the lady has
reneged on paying the bill, Albury
said. The patient was discharged
from the hospital Monday, leaving
the large bill. Sawyer said he
would study the matter and see if
the boat could be held until the
bill Is paid. He said that employers
do not have responsibility for work
ers who attempt suicide. DR.. Herr
pointed out, however, that the boat
owner had assumed the legal re-
sponsibility through her own ra-
diced message to the Coast Guard.
Or. J. LaneeIot Lester told
Commissioners that a crisis has
risen in blood bank liaison with
Dade County.
I'VE had thought that every
thing was set up" the surgeon
said. ''Dr. Eliot of Dade County
came here to a meeting and told
us that we would get credit for
blood we sent to Dade. Our tech
nician, Jose Cartaya was certi-
fled as a blood technician, we
thought. He had weeks train
ing in Miami for this purpose.
Now we are informed that Jose
is not certified, according to DR..
Eliot, and that he must take two
more weeks of training up there
in order to be certified"
The Rev. Ralph Rogers reported
that he had talked with DR.. Eliot
In Miami yesterday who said that
Jose needed two weeks to a month
more training. His long experience
as a technician reduces the time
for training from six months TO
that of a month, Rogers said DR..
Eliot said.
1t was said in an aside that Dade
County is as short of technieians
as Monroe and would probably
like to hire Cartaya away from
the hospital, DR.. Lester said that
further training for Cartaya meant
his services are used free in

Only Friend OF,
Dying Cat Is
Second Feline

Night before last, passing
motorist was shocked TO see q
dying cat lying in the middle OF
Flagler Avenue with no effort
being made by passing cars or
pedestrians to aid or remove the
suffering animal from the road.
But by its side was another cat,
either its mate, or perhaps a cat
from the same litter, obviously dis
tressed by the condition of its
suffering companion. 1t stayed
by the injured animal closely,
sometimes lying down beside the
other one, touching it gently with
paw.
The driver stopped and removed
the hurt cat out of range of more
cars. It was gasping its last. The
faithful feline friend continued VI
gil.
Mrs. George Mills White, presi-
dent of the Humane Society, said
today that plea was made to all
drivers of cars to be more careful
TO avoid striking dogs and cats
which cross streets, especially at
night. Sometimes they are blinded
by headlights and in panic turn
the wrong way.
''In the past few days, we have
had an avalanche of reports of
pets being struck by hit-and-run
drivers who go on their reckless
way leaving an injured or dying
animal in lonely agony. / would
like to ask motorists to be more
careful, or if an accident does hap
pen, to stop and see what can be
done for the ANIMAL" she said.

Gov. McKeldin owes it to the

who his friends were, how much
