Consider the attitude of the Fire
Department..
TWenty-four hours day these
men standby ready to answer any
emergency. Within a matter OF
seconds after a plea for help, men
and equipment are rushing to the
scene - whether the plea involves
a major conflagation, a child lock
ed in bathroom, or cat stranded
on a telephone pole.
Ignorant people who say q fire

under strain of continually wait

their alarm clocks some night and

Key West firemen are hired for

portion. Under present conditions

THIS ROCK OF OURS

BILL GLIB

Unofficially, the men of the Key
West Fire Department are provok-
ed. They have been saddled with
the SeIpi-annual automobile inspec-
ton job. Adding insult to injury
the police department has beer
credited for the work.
Only one policeman 1t. Genie
Hernandez has helped inspect cars
and that was the day of the unfor-
tunated accident involving Men
endez who received an eye injury
in the procedure.
Forcing the local firefighters te
do this kind of work could be par,
aleled by ordering City Comptrol,
Ter Charles Roberts to spend a
month picking up garbage with the
scavenger crews; or making City
Attorney Lester perform the duties
of Tax Collector Archie Roberts.
There is no sense to the whole pro-
cedure.
We have a good fire department.
The men know their jobs = they've
spent lifetime learning the work
the hard way, So what happens?
They are ordered onto a job that
they've had absolutely no training
for and the City is deprieved of
adequate fire protection.
In the meantime, the police de-
partment constantly gets in the
news lime-light by announcing that
its personnel is studying under
Rennegar of the Florida Police
Academy. Their studies include
such things as automobile safety.
Why aren't they the ones to be out
checking on the automobiles? They
aren't too busy because their re-
cords too date show that they are
occupied by a majority of cases
consisting of overtime parking,
minor traffic offenders, and a few
dfunKS at night.
Time and again, local citizens
have told this eolumnist that when
they've called the police on an inn
portant matter, they have been re,
ferred to the Sheriff's department,

the firemen are catching the blunt
of the peoples anger about the in-
spection a righteous anger since
the safety sticker has a close re-
semblance to a tax stamp.
If the ordinance was aimed at
promoting safety, time limits
wouldn't have been set up. Vehicle
owners would be eneOursg ed to so
in and have their cars checked at
any time they had reason to be-
lieve the brakes or lights were not
functioning properly. Such a pro-
cedure would give the mOtorist
year-round protection and he would
not feel that he was having a dead
line TANNED down his throat.

Zinc Association officials have
made similar objections to the re
ports forecast of the future situa-
ton for that metal.
A copper man, Simon d. Strauss
vice president of the American
Smelling & Refining Co., also
challenged the report before the
Mining Congress, His objection
was to the plan to set up inter-
national "buffer stocks" of metals
to stabilize raw materials markets,
Strauss says such stocks hanging
over the market would merely I'M
settle it.
The steel industry pushes toward
its expansion goals. The govern
ment wants steel capacity TO reach
120 million tons year by the
start of 1854, Many in the industry
question if that much will be
needed or can be used, but faeili-
ties are expanding fast.
Oil expansion plans were set
back by the steel strike. But the
industry points TO its record of
always finding more oil each year
than the steadily rising demand
uses up.
The Petroleum Administration
for Defense predicts today that by
1855 the use of natural gas for
residential heating will be 81 per
cent over last years level. The
gas industry says it can find the
needed supply.

With one bead on the string for
each day of a 28-day cycle, pink
beads represent the menstrual
period, red beads the fertile per-

of today's bead whether she may

four days., is followed by a "safe''

next her fertile period cred beads)
averaging nine days, and last an
other 'safe" period (green beads

that these figures vary with the
individual woman and her exact
cycle must be determined by keep
ing a record for at least six months

added that the rhythm" method,

products Of impure press-agentry.

The rhythm or safe period

it does not conflict with social or

Because of the great numbers of

Fanny Ward. The obituaries all
stressed the fact that she was
known as "The Eternal Flapper'',
that her age was unknown but
that she was believed to be in her

All of the above is true. But I

To my naive question as to her
age, Fanny laughed her husky,

Fanny was the last person to
