There Amt No Such Animals
As Toy Deer Says Monthly
Magazine Florida Outdoors"
WRITER BACKS
BARRY STATEMENT
THAT ssTOY" DEER
DO NOT EXIST

Confirmation Of Ed Barry's opin-
ion printed In Yesterdays Citizen
that there are no such animals as
Toy" deer on the Keys, comes in
an article "The Key Deer" by Jerry
Million in a small monthly "Flori-
da Outdoors" just published.
Million cites the visit of hundreds
Of converstationists attending
the national convention in Miami
last month to Big Pine Key.
These men and women went
down the Keys to count noses and
inches of the TOY deer" said Mill
lion.
THAT only one deer was seen
did not disappoint anyone. What
did disappoint them was that this
one deer was estimated to weigh
approximately so pounds; whereas
q story published by the National
Audubon Society places their aver
age weight at half Of this figure"
writes Million.
A writer himself, Million says
that writer's have been especially
prone to "set themselves up as ex-
perts without ever having set foot
on Big Pine Key, at least no. for
the purpose of investigating the
deer.
Only one outdoor columnist, says
Million, had taken the trouble to In
terview Jack Watson, refuge. pa
trolman stationed on Big Pine Key
for the sole purpose Of looking out
for the Key deer.
Million SCOTS at the lore that
has spread about the deer, climax
ing his skepticism about their sire
with this statement:
ssThe saturday Evening Post had
a short piece on the deer which
by now was so small that the
famed publication said, The fawns
Of the Key Deer are no larger than
4 rabbit. e
Actually says, Million s'yearings
killed so far on the highways have
been as big as what the Audubon
Society says a full-grown deer
should weigh"
Million says:
sUntil someone comes along with
concrete proof that little Bambi
does live in the keys. Florida

Dickson. This biologist who has
lived on Big Pine Key for the sole
purpose of studying the Key deer

there is work to do.
We are not authorized by
law to direct relief operations
or to create work when no
work exist; but there is a CON
siderable amount Of work to
be done and full employment
is expected to continue for
quite some time.
The VICORP is holding to
the minimum rates Of pay as
established BY PMA for field
work and BY the Wage and
Hour Division, for other activi
ties. That does not mean that
we are only paying the mini
mum, as is clearly shown in
the earning schedule, but it
does mean that if a worker is
not willing or able to produce
the minimum amount Of work
to qualify for the minimum
pay. that we cannot continue
to employ such workers. That
schedule Of earnings clearly
demonstrates that the vast
majority Of workers are earn
ing considerably more than
the minimum.
Being a federal corporation
we cannot be bound by NUM-
cipal laws, except by choice,
and we have to adhere to pro-
INDICATIONS by the proper fed
eral agencies if, as and when,
either the PIMA or Wage and
Hour Division make recon-
mendations which we know
will be based on extensive
hearings to increase the mini-
NUNS, we will comply. But
these agencies take into consi-
Iteration the ability of various
industries in the island, to pay.
Mr.. Skeoch concluded by.
saying that the Corporation

War Mother with five sons in the

AS in the case Of Mrs. Phillips,
Mrs Duggr would prefer to have

is of vast inspiration and a genu-
