Graceful Curve
In Bridge Solves
Two Problems

Most Of the worlds water
spanning bridges run as straight
as a taut string from one shore
to another. The Chesapeake Bay
Bridge is an exception. Its course
swings downstream from the west
ern shore in a graceful curve.
Two factors made this neces-
sary, says Spencer Davidson. in an
article published recently in the
Maryland Press Association Bull
letin.
He explains:
If the bridge had been built
over the shortest distance from
shore to shore, its piers would
have created a hazard in the area
in which the ship channel makes
a half left turn toward the Pa
tapsco River and ocean-going YES
sells need extra room for ma
neuvering.
IT. on the other hand, the span
had been located in its present
position without a curve the west
ern terminus would have had to
be not at Sandy Point but in the
area in which the Navy has
erected the tall towers Of its fleet
broadcasting station. With the
curve. the span crosses the ship
channel at right angles and with
ample width between suspension
towers and still touches shore at
Sandy Point to join the Revell
Highway" ~ a

that he or she is 81 before getting
a drink.
The prospects of bigger crowds
arriving over the new bridge is
causing a real estate boom just
north Of Ocean City. New motels
and motel apartments line the
highway. There are many attrac-
tive new cottages for weekly rent
ais Of $65 and up and summer
apartment houses at the same
rates. Lots north Of the city that
sold for $400 in 1916 are priced at
$1.500 today and are selling.
Ray Jarvis, who used to run the
Swan Club, is promoting a big
subdivision called Ocean Bay City
just north of Ocean City. Pur-
chasers must submit their plans
for approval, drill their own wells
and put in septic tanks. He reports
that business is very good.

Sport fishing at Ocean City got
q big boost when it was discovered
that the shoals opposite the place
are the best grounds for marlin
fishing north of Florida. One day
earlier this month there was a
record catch Of SO marlin at Ocean
City. Such news spans the conti-
nent quickly and is followed by
a furry of long distance telephone
calls to Captains Josh and Talbot
Bunting for reservations on their
boats. BY auto, train or plane,
Sportsmen rush in from Chicago
and st. Louis and even as far west
as Denver.
Ocean City Is experiencing the

something to do.
Last year, States Attorney
Jack Sanford barred all forms of
gambling at the beach. Since then
the Federal $50 gamblers stamp
tax passed has strengthened the
States Attorneys hand. There is
no gambling at Ocean City today.
"The are more people than ever

New Group To
Present View
OF The South

ATLANTA R-Gov. James F.
Byrnes of South Carolina was Sc
lected to head a campaign Of
the Southern Governors Confer
ence to present the South's view
point to the nation.
Byrnes' appointment rs chair;
man of the Southern Foundation
was announced by Gov. Herman
Talmadge, chairman of the South
ern Governors Conference.
Talmadge said the Southern
Foundation was set up by the con-
ference in 1948 under a resolution
introduced by Fielding Wright, then
governor of Mississippi, but so far
has not been very active.
Talmadge suggested that with
Byrnes as a spokesman if each
state would contribute to sizable
fund 1--WE could adequately present
the South's viewpoint on radio, tel
eviSion, in committee hearings and
in magazines. /"
He said the South has been
kicked around and conceded the
section has done a very poor job
of public relations.
Talmadge said he has discussed
his ideas with Byrnes and the
South Carolina governor has ac-
cepted the appointment.
At the same time, Talmadge an
nounced other 1853 committee ap-
pointments for the conference.
Gov. Hugh White of Mississippi
is chairman of the Freight Rates
Committee and Gov. Allan Shivers
of Texas heads the TidelandS Com
mittee. Talmadge commented that
these two committees now are zap
parently successfully about to con-
elude the two most important prof
ectS ever undertaken by southern
governors-equaIization of freight
rates and return of tidelands to
state ownership"

Actress Is
Still Amazed
AT Success
By BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD R - A summer
ago, Vivian Vance was appearing
in "Voice of the Turtle" at the
La Jolla (Calif.) Playhouse. Little
did she realize that she was trying
out for what might be life's job.
In the audience one night were
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. They
were looking for players to appear
in TV show they we're planning,
II Love Lucy" They liked her job
as the other woman in the three
character play and chose her to
play Lucy's neighbor Ethel.
The sequel to the story is TV
history. 81 Love Lucy" quickly
climbed to the top of the audience
ratings and stayed there. A recent
survey estimated the show had an
unbelievable AZ million viewers. All
this continues to amaze Vivian
Vance.
"If had realized that night at
La Jolla that / would be trying
out for a part in the No. 1 TV
show" she sighs, Il would have
been too nervous to go on the
stage"
81 Love Lucy" has done amaz-
| ing things for Vivian. Previously,
she has been typed on the stage
and screen. She played only hard,
brassy danes.
She is now lining up couple
of pictures because the shooting
of the Lucy" series is recessed
until after the Arnaz baby arrives.
One of the roles she was up for
was witchy character such as
she had always played. But the
casting man said: 81 don't know
whether she can do the part; she's
too sweet" He obviously is a
Lucy" fan.
Vivian doesn't mind the change
in her professional character bit.
Nor does she object to the 39-week
grind of turning out the TV films.
''It's an actors dream" she
enthuSed. "You do the same char
acter, but you don't have the bore
dom of reading the same lines
week after week, as on the stage.
We also have what the movies
lack-an audience to stimulate
you"
Vivian was born in Cherryvale,
Kan, but later moved to Albuquer-
que, which she considers her home
town. Her parents still live there.
She and her husband, Philip Ober,
have a ranch at Cubero, N. NJ,
where they relax between acting
jobs.
The citizens of Albuquerque were
responsible for Vivian's acting
career. She made local hit in
"The Trial of Mary Dugan" and
the town raised money to send her
to New York. She was to study
under Eva Lagallienne, but the
latter turned her down.
II couldn't go back home, so I
stayed and stuck it out" she re-
called. She managed to land in
hits like "Musie in the Air" " RED,
Hot and Blue and "Skylark.
Then came night clubs, more
shows, Hollywood and Lucy"

FORUM

(These questions were selected
from those often asked Of the local
rent office. If you have a question
about the rent stabilization pro-
gram address it to: Area RENT
OFFICE, 216 Federal Building,
Key West, Florida.)
QUESTION: l asked my land
lord to let me pay the rent on
a semi-monthly basis each first
and fifteenth. He told me he could
not allow this because Of the rent
laws. Is this correct?
ANSWER: No. A landlord may
collect the maximum rent estab-
lished on a monthly basis by the
month, however, there is no pro-
hibition in the regulation against
accepting the rent semi-monthly if
the tenant wishes to pay it in that
manner.
QUESTION: Since rent controls
have been effective on the house
I own l have been furnishing an
ice box to the tenant. My tenant
has asked that I replace the ice
box with a new electric refrigera-
tor and | have agreed if / can get
an increase in the maximum rent.
Can /?
ANSWER: Yes. You would be
entitled to an increase in the Enaxi-
mum rent to compensate you for
the increased service. You may OBJ
tain a prior opinion from the rent
office as to just what increase
would be allowed by submitting
the full facts with your request.
You will, of course, have to petit
ton for the increase when the new
refrigerator is installed.
QUESTION: Recently / was visi-
ting in another section of the coun-
try where rent controls were in
effect. / found that rents were
generally lower there for similar
houses and apartments. Why are
they allowed to be higher here?
ANSWER: Conditions vary
Throughout the country. That is
why maximum rents are based on
rents prevailing in each area when
rent stabilization went into effect.
Examples Of such variances are
differences in construction costs,
utility rates, taxes, etc.

house with stamps indicating a

the case, Navarro, Sr. insists. He
gave it to his son with love and

EACH OF THREE
OFFICERS TO
DEVELOP LAND
ON HIS OWN

A. E. Golan, former treasurer of
Key West Improvement Inc. filed
10 warranty deeds last week show
ing his share of the three equal
parts into which the corporation
was divided by lot.
Last week Vincent Conley, pre-
sident of the company filed II
deeds, recording the portions of
the 600 acres which he drew.
Charles Helberg, secretary of the
now defunct corporation will be
filing the deeds for his share next
week.
Golan will be developing his por-
ton of acreage in the near future.
Plans are being drawn now for a
yacht basin near Cow Key channel
at the head of the island, and for
a canal which win provide an out
let to the Gulf side of the Island.
A map of the new division of
the corporation will beprinted as
soon as it is available.
The three officers of the COM
pany are still the largest landown-
ers on the Island of Key West,
since their share come to 200 acres
each. Monroe county bought 160
acres from the company recently,
which still has right to repurchase
the acreage should the county
abandon it as an airport.
Each deed recorded by Conley
and by Golan has ten cent stamp
on it. This is of course, a vast
understatement of the valuable
Key West property which would
bring 100 times that much on the
market today.
The lowness of the stamps is
explained by the fact that this is
merely a dissolution of a corpora
ton, and not a sale. Written on
each deed is mo Taxable consid-
