Truman Says 6. 0. P
Must Meet Nation S
Health, Social Needs

If the Eisenhower adminiStra-
ton is to give the American peo-
pie what they want. it must take
action to meet their health and
other social and economic needs.
President Truman declared last
might.
He was the principal speaker at
the closing banquet of the
meeting here of the Association of
Military Surgeons of the United
States, held in the Hotel Statler.
The President. in defending his
public health proposals against
what he termed "the violent at
tacks of a politically inspired OPP
position" asserted:
Anybody who interprets the
election as a mandate to stop the
efforts we have been making foG
social and economic progress is
blind to history"
Cites Research Costs.
In a prepared speech, to which
he added several extemporaneous
remarks, President Truman ex-
planned that steady progress in
medical research is the main basis
for recent advances in improving
the health of the American peo-
pie. But. he declared:
1.-THE plain fact is that the cost
of research is so great it can not
be met solely through private
means. The Government must
provide financial assistance if this
vital work is to continue"
"The attack" he added, "is lee
by men who, in my opinion, are
sadly mistaken in believing thai
our whole pattern of progres:
conceals some hidden danger tt
the livelihood and independence
of the medical practitioner. Moth.
ing could be sillier, I think, than
to fear that progress in the field
of health endangers the doctor
But, unfortunately. this campaign
of opposition has had its effect.
Shortages Unmet.
Explaining further, Mr.. Truman
said Americas shortages of nurses
doctors and other health person
mel have not been met, in spite
of repeated efforts to persuade
Congress to adopt a program Of
Federal aid to medical education
He also stated that his nationa.
health insurance program has
been "misrepresented and distort-
ed," with the result that many
} people have lost sight of the real
issue at stake-making adequate
health care available to all. de-
spite limitations of income"
The 15-member commission or

appointed last December. has still

declared, adding:
"Of course, I cannot tell you

Dos And Dont's
For PIT Owners
Told By Leader

The Dos and Don'ts for pet
owners and non pet owners were
announced toby by Mrs. George
Mills White, Key West Humane So
ciety leader.
Here they are:
EVEN, though your dog is wear
ing license don't allow him to run
at large continuously. Too much
freedom for dogis like too much
freedom for child. Sooner or lat
er he will get into trouble of one
kind or another, and become a
juvenile delinquent
HE should always be kept in the
house or restrained to YOUR pro-
perry from 10 pm. until morning.
This is the law. 1t is far better
for your dog if he is allowed to
run in fenced-in area on your
own property, and once or twice
a day taken for a walk on a leash.
Dogs learn to like the leash as
when walking in this manner they
have your company, and after all
that is what they like best. Above
all the leash insures your dogs
safety from traffic and contact
with other dogs, besides keeping
him away from other peoples
lawns and shrubs. Much trouble
would be avoided if owners of dogs
would keep them off others pro-
perty, where they are often very
destructive.

KEY WEST is BIFFED AND HAIRPULLED

thing YOU can say for the southernmost climate is that

BACKS DOG TRACK"


Editor, The Citizen:
I just read in your newspaper
of August 9th, which reached my
office this morning, that the State
Racing Commission has issued
a permit to the Key West Kennel
Club for a dog track to be built
on Stock Island.
am the owner Of the Casa
Marina Hotel in Key West, which
I believe is one of the largest
and most exclusive in the Keys,
and / would be very much in
terested in seeing a dog track
built there, and operated by
such high class individuals as
Mr.. Friedland of Miami Beach
and his associates.
am of the firm opinion that
the citizens of Key West and
Monroe County should be in
favor of this dog track one hun
dred per cent, as I fully believe
that it will be a credit not only
to them but also to the people
who spend their vacations in
Key West.
! have had several letters from
individuals asking my opinion
about this enterprise and my in
variable RELY was that was
behind it b the utmost, and
therefore, I believe that this
letter should be published, SO
that everyone will know my
attitude in his matter.

THIS ROCK
OF OURS
BY BILL CiB5

New commercial construction is
to start soon on the land of the
old Bethel home across the street
from the La Concha Hotel. Nostal-
gic memories are brought back by
the news because as a kid, used
to play all over the house with
Mrs. Effie Bethel Stuart's son,
Jack.
1t was either Bert Baker or Billy
Warren and myself who proposed
to teach Jack how to swim (for
the five dollar bill promised by
his mother, of courSe).
We took Jack out to a pier that
used to extend from ole Fort Tay-
lor and threw him over in the deep
water. The lesson wasn't exactly
successful because instead of
swimming, he darned near
drowned. We had to jump in and
help him to a ladder.
Oddly enough, his mother showed
a Discrimination to let us continue
giving him lessons. / still main
tain that if she had left us alone,
Jack would either have learned to
swim or drowned in the attempt.
We were determined instructors.
So They Serammed
An amusing incident occurred
the other evening in a combination
restaurant and bar. A couple of
off-duty Key West police officers
were sitting at the bar in civilian
clothes. They were quietly slipping
a drink and were in no way to
be censured.
Dave King, city manager, walked
into the place to speak with the
proprietor. Both officers looked
like children caught with their
hands in the jam pot. They gulped
their drinks and vamoosed in
/ about two seconds.
Dave King has reputation for
disliking alcoholic beverages. He
isn't fanatic on the subject - he
simply tells anyone who might
ask that he has no use for whiSkey
or any of its NEAR relatives. His
objections, however, do not reach
out to try to control his employees
who can drink sensibly off-duty.
Still and all, I can sympathize with
the police officers and understand
why they chose to leave the build
ing.
Fire Hydranis
The situation with regard to fire
hydrants in this town is rough
Key West pays SIS. rental for each
and every hydrant belonging to
! the Aqueduct Commission. What do
they get in return? 81
Well, you know the water situa-
ton. The fire department has or.
ders never to use a hydrant If it
is possible to draft water from the
ocean. These orders are OK, but
the truth is, that they've always
done this anyway.
Repair and upkeep Of local n.y.
drants by their owners, (aqueduct
commission) has been practically
non-existent. Weeds hide the plugs,
they are implanted, quite often
caps are missing from outlets, or
valves are frozen" so that even
if it were necessary, it would be
impossible to get water.
Ernest Ramsey is manager Of
the Aqueduct Commission. He
has furnished explanations for the
poor water supply in Key West but
has never said why other things,
such as fire hydrants, couldn't be
maintained properly. p?
