When we were chosen to come
to The Citizen Office for a day,
we had no idea Of the work, but
at tho same time fun that was
in store for us.
At the county court house we
met Sheriff Sawyer, Chief Dep
uty Tommy Dixon, and Deputy
Emma Gates and Serge Herman
DEE.
We were rather disappointed
that we could not find any muir
der or robbery cases. but we
did learn the work that goes on
in the Sheriff's office. They in
formed us that Sheriff Berlin
Sawyer is the highest law off
Ger in the county and is paid ac-
cording to the daties which he
performs. He told us there is an
average of "a prisoners per day,
and that in September, 2,565
meals were served in Jail.
Our next stop was at the Of
flee OF Supervisor of Registra-
ton Sam Pinder and Deputy Ed
ma Mae Bullman. Mr.. Pinder
said t. at there are now $50 Re-
publicans registered in Monroe
Court. The total number of
voters registered here is 1885.
After that we went to Super
intendent of Public Instruction
Horace O'Bryant's office where
we asked him about driving
course for Key West High School.
MIR. O'Bryant said that there
were no plans We. but they hoped
to- eventually add this to the
curriculum.
While enjoying a coke with
Secretary Of the Chamber of
Commerce Harold Laubscher, at
the USo, he explained his job.
During the past year, the
Chamber has provided en- ertain-
ment such as "Fun Night" has

Dies
BY VITA BARRoso

Tragedy struck at the Key
West Aquarium yesterday. Man
ager Bill Knoll told us that all
Of his stingrays, which were held
in captivity there, died.
Knoll said that the reason for
these deaths was that the species
lives only about 6 to 9 months in
the tanks. He added that this
was probably because of irnpro-
per diet. The stingrays had just
about used up their time, Knoll
said.
An interesting tour of the
aquarium showed many strange
fish that we were not even
aware existed. All of the fish
are caught in the waters around
Key West.

ALLEGES HER
CHILD HIT"

Editor, The Citizen:
Is Douglass school a reformatory?
! read about Douglass and
Identification and thanks to our
superintendent. Well, I think he de-
serves a lot of thanks and praise
but I'm wondering does he know
how the teachers in the third, four
tn, and second grades treat their
little students.
It is nothing for them to shake
and crack the children's knuckles.
All the teachers concerned should
read this and consider. They could
be jailed for cruelty. l hope the

that has had similar complaints,

However, correspondent have heard rumors the past two days that the defiant prisoners had been given reduced rations to bring them into line. This method of discipline is allowed under the Geneva Convention for treatment of prisoners.
 Not shot was fired when the tanks and troops moved into the three compounds, although the Red prisoners inside had boasted they would flight to the death" '"
 The smartly executed one-twO punch at Communist disobedience destroyed all Red banners that flew over this one riot-torn island. But camp authorities expect more may appear Thursday.

Church Urged
BY Missionary

Racial segregation in the ma

Sunday, at the Minneapolis Arm
DRY, Jan. "a, was called a major
obstacle to progress OF missionary
activity among the non-white pop
ulations Of the world.
The Rev. Elmer r. Danielson,
Lindborg. Kan, told the national
Lutheran Council OF churches of
the United States and Canada,
held Jan. 20 through Jan. "a, that
the Lutherans OF America must
cleanse their congregations OF the
color bar as quickly as possible"
DIR. Danielson, a veteran mis-
sionary in British East Africa, for
the Augustana Lutheran church
was not able to attend the con-
ference and his statement was
read by DIR. Fredrik Schiotz, New
York, who was chairman OF the
meeting for that day.
His statement said that the
race question has created "a great
disturbing paradoxical situation
in Africa today. On the one hand
is the openess of the African soul
TO the Saviour in a way which I
dare say does not exist on any
other continent in the world to-
day.
But on the other hand. there
is a fast growing mistrust Of the
white mans political power and
especially economic power over
the peoples and resources Of
Africa. And there Is most certain
ly a fast growing impotence, IL
not resentment and hatred, with
the white mans racial superior
ity attitude"
