center drawers were protruding
a couple inches & the locks were
missing. We have not been able
to obtain the opinion of a metal
lurgist as to the burning of melt
ing point of the material out of
which the locks were made. We
have observed and reported here
in that the screws which held the
locks in place were still there in
an unchanged condition suggest
ing that there had been no. strain
on the threads of these screws,
which in turn suggested that the
locks were not pried off. The abb
sence of a lock, therefore, could
be explained as having been
burned out. If the locks were in
fact burned out that would also
explain why the locks could not
be located in the ashes immediate
ly around the desk. If the locks
were in fact burned out instead
of pried out that would practical
~ eliminate the last circumstance
suggesting burglary. All of the
theories suggesting burglary are
further weakened by the large
quantity and the value of the ar
ticles of jewelry which have been
reclaimed. It is unlikely that one
bent on stealing would be selec-
tive under circumstances of this
sort and throw away valuables
out of packages of jewelry and
Just save certain items contained
in such packages.
"On the question of arson it IS
more difficult to form a conclu-

as if the arson aspect of the fire

TEN THOUSAND TOM.TOMS
by Rev. Jens Larsen
Jens Larsen

Those who have not read
T e n Thousand Tom-Toms
have a real treat in store.
A few weeks ago when !
saw the title, Ten Thousand
Tom-Toms," by Jens Larsen,
in our local papers, to me it
was just another book on the
market. Looking more care
fully and recognizing that
Jens Larsen was our own
Reverend Jens Larsen, a form
er pastor of the Frederiksted
Lutheran Church, I knew that
it was not just another new
book on the market, but one
that was sure to be breath
taking and exciting with in
terest and information.
A few days later | began
reading this book with the
most unusual title, for if one
doesn't know very much

about African life, tom-toms
will convey very little.
As a rule, an author does
quite a lot of writing, prepar-
ing his reader for what's to
come. This latest book of Jens
Larsen's starts with a bang.
You are captivated from the
first paragraph, for Kwoli, a
young attractive African
youth was returning home,
changed in many ways by
living in a Mission School.
With a few coins in his pocket
which he had earned during
his stay with civilized people,
he walked calmly along the
dusty road making plans to
buy himself a pretty wife. AS

officers
The Assistant District Attor-
ney and the Director of Police
have submitted to me an 8-page
statement of their investigation
and findings through January z,
1853. Let me read to you the final
three paragraphs of this report on
the investigation:
sThe inclination to suspect rob-
berry or BURGLARY has been con-
siderably weakened by the dis
covery of SO much of the jewelry
which was alleged to have been
missing, including certain items,
a watch and a wedding ring,
which had been contained in the
package of jewelry which MI.
Jackson said had belonged to his
former wife. In addition, the dis
covery of the metal portions OF
tools at the place where the miss
ing tools. were said to have been
stored tends further to weaken
the theory of burglary. Further
more. the electric sewing machine
and the portable electric light
seems to be accounted for by the
remnants Of what appeared to be
a sewing machine and the cells &
other parts of the electric light
In addition thereto, there were
four bags Of va1uables recovered
on the morning of the fire, includ-
ing a $500 ring and four dla-
monds representing possibly.
another $4,000 or more, plus other
items of value which, as previous
ly reported, were not itemized.
Subsequent to the findings OF the
first search, on December End,
there had been discovered and
turned over to Mr. Jackson the
star sapphire previously men
toned valued at $500 and an
other small diamond probably
worth five or six hundred dollars,
aside from cuff links, shirt studs,
ETC., the value of which we are
not undertaking to estimate. The
result is that the only remaining
strong circumstance suggesting
burglary is the condition in which

might live, I found tears in
my eyes.
Although one learns much
about African superstition,
one also respects them for
many things they instilled in
their youth-in the Devil
Bush initiation school.
Perhaps most people will
find the story Of the beautiful
girl who was lost in the jun
gle and grew up as a leopard
girl" t he most interesting
part of the book. I think Ibid
and ones heart goes out to the
father who lost his broken
hearted wife but continued to
keep in touch with the mis-
sionaries hoping to find the
bones of his little girl. When
she was discovered, supposed
~ an African child who had
been reborn and turned into
a beautiful light colored girl
with curly hair, she had fallen
in love with our hero, Kwoli.
He had stolen chances to
teach her to read and to
speak a little English. The
story of her fathers return to
Africa to get his beautiful
seventeen-year old daughter,
who was lost at the age of 3R
gives the story a satisfying
and happy ending.
As / said in the beginning,
the book is interesting from
beginning to end and there
isn't a dull page in it.
It will be best to begin
reading "Ten Thousand Tom
Toms" on a weekend if you
are a working person, for
once you begin you will not
want to stop until you have
read the entire story.

One Mans Nuisance Is Another Mans Game
By Meredith S. Busl

RKoNT0oAGKRY COUNTY
N1 has come up with It's
own dispersal program-an
effective way to reunite trap
happy squirrels In suburban
areas with their country
cousins,
And. in effect, it's a defen-
sive measure.
In the past, squirrels have
been especially destructive in
the Bethesda Chevy Chase
area. They've unleaShed
acorns from the heavens on
unsuspecting heads, chewed
q housewives tomatoes of the
vines and, In general, run
rampant In attics and
garages.
& Recently, the county opened
an intensive squirrel-trapping
program In its suburban COM
munitieS. Lewis 8. Rudasill,
wildnfe field superintendent
for four counties, is In charge
Of the trapping campaign for
the Maryland State Game
and Inland Fish Commission.
Actually we're killing two
birds with one Stone," Mr..
RudaSill says. Both the
homeowner and the hunter
win profit. The trapped
squirrels are released north
Of Rockville in overhunted
areas or where game is gen.
orally scarce"
Although the program was
originated four years ago, this

was shelled by acorns that
rained down from an over
hanging red oak. "The SPUR
rels," he recalled, "peppered
us from about 50 feet, and
sometimes the acorns landed
in our coffee cups or in the
soup" He added it stung
quite a bit to be hit on the
head from that range.
Already, Mr.. Rudasill has q

desk from property owners
who want their unwanted

squirrels this year." he says.
He usually traps from the
first Of March to the middle
Of May and from November
to January, steering clear Of
the young-bearing months.
I'M only trap on the on
months when squirrels are
literally tearing a house up"
he adds.
A pair of squirrels can be
worth 10 to the hunter. They
usually have two filters Of
three or four a year, Mr..
Rudasill explains.
I'VE take utmost care to
build traps that won't injure
them in any way" he adds.
1.-THE squirrels are picked up
in the morning, driven some
times 80 miles and then re-
leased to lessen the chance
Of their dying"
Actually, they have a better
chance Of survival In the out
lying areas, he points out.
Many squirrels are killed each
year by electric wires and

MRS. EVELYN MCGEE
WEDS OLIVER LEE
ROBBINS. ID. CT

Congratulations are in order for
the Oliver Lee Robbins who were
quietly married on Thursday night,
January Is, 1858, at $50.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. A. Franklin Hooper, new
ly appointed pastor of Cornish
Chapel A. NJ. E., Zion Church, in
the church parsonage on White
head Street.
Mr.. Robbins is a service man,
rated d. c. on the u. S. S. Ho.
ward w. Gilmore, Key West Naval
Base. He is a native of Jersey
City, N. j. where he received his
scholastic training.
Mrs. Robbins is our own beloved
Evelyn MCGEE, well known pianist
and conductor of the city. She re.
ceived her scholastic training al
Rust college and Fisk University,
Her native home is Chattanooga
Tennessee, but for the past seven
years she has been a part-time
resident of Key West, where she
enjoys the love and esteem Of all
who meet her.
A reception was given the happy
couple on Sunday night at their
home on Howe Street.
We wish for them happiness and
success.

his parents would have accom-
panied him.
1t can plainly be seen that such
a fear can easily follow the child
throughout his life, hindering him
to such an extent that he will
never secure an education.
The child must be continuously
in league with his parents. They
must make him feel that he is
wanted and that be belongs. He
should be able to offer suggestions
as we'll as obey orders. Being sent
to school should not mean that the
parent is relieved of answering
questions or teaching the child.

child be a success viii get To-

Children Are
Valuable Possessions

One of the most precious pos
sessions that one can have Is a
child. It stands to reason, there
fore. that since this possession is
so valuable, one should do all in
his power to safeguard it.
/ sometimes wonder just how we,
as parents, feel toward our chill
dren. If we are to be judged by
the outward show, we would GER
tainly be found wanting.
AS a parent and a teacher. I
shall here state some observations
that l have made relative to parent,
teacher, child relationship.
To watch the beginning child on
his first day in school, is always
a thrilling experience to me. ITO
the child, it is a direct change
in his life. Up to this time, he
has lived in his home around those
whom he has known all of his life.
They are familiar to him, ever
willing to comfort and ease his
pains or Danish his fears. School
life affords an entirely different
environment to which he must
gradually become orientated. 1t is
only natural for the child to be
afraid.
Should the child be sent to school
alone on his first day? Should he
be sent with friend or an older
sister or brother? The answer is
no! A thousand times, no. Re-
CARELESS of how busy the parents
may be, some sacrifice should be
made to take the child to school
on his first day.
You, perhaps have never had the
experience of seeing beginners on
their first day of school. If you
had, I'm sure that you will agree
with my obervations. The child
who is accompanied by a parent,
clingS to the hand of the parent:
he walks up TO the desk to be
registered still smuggling closely to
his protector. He feels that every
thing win work out to his best
advantage because his parent is
pleased.
There is quite a contrast with
the child who goes along with
relative, friend or alone. He does
not have the feeling of trust. In
his sub-conseious mind a fear may
grow as result of feeling that
If school were not a place to fear,

In
Hat Making

have told you the stories of
two local boys who made good
away from home. Now, / shall
| tell you the story of a local boy
who is making good at home He
is Mr.. Julius Nicely, son of Mrs.
Nelly Nicely of $40 Petronia Street
and the late Mr.. Lester Nicely.
Mr.. Nicely is halter by trade.
In 1850, he had an opportunity to
visit his cousin, Mr.. Howard Mar
shall of Miami, who also is a hat
ter running a successful business
there. He was Immediately fas-
cinated by the work and asked his
cousin to instruct him In the art.
This, Howard agreed to do, having
himself learned the trade from his
brother, Arthur, who had attend
ed an exclusive hatter's school in
New York to learn the trade, and
was at the time employed by Clark
Hatters, an exclusive firm in down
town Miami.
Mr.. Nicely has natural aptitude
for the trade and soon proved to
be more artistic than either of his
teachers. To return home and have
Key Westers benefit from his trade
was his first concern, even though
he was offered numerous oppor-
tunities elsewhere.
Mr.. Nicely specializes in making
velours, milans and panamaS. The
materials from which. these hats
are made are all imported; the
milans and velours from Italy and
the Panamas from Ecuador.
Mr.. Nicely who is the father of
Betty Lou, who is in her freshman
year at Xavier University, New
Orleans, louisiana and Julius
John, who is in the fourth grade
at Douglass School is assisted in
his work by his devoted wife,
Sarah, who runs the hats and a
sister, Mrs. Ruby Nicely Valdez,
who does secretarial work and puts
the finishing touches on the hats.
! had the opportunity of visiting
his plant and there had the ex-
perience of having him explain his
machinery to me. They were: ~,
the hat crowner, which crowns the
hats, ca, the Sandbag which press
es brims--especially panamas, and
go, the stretcher which stretches
hats to any size. There is only one
more machine needed which Mr..
Nicely hopes to get real soon the
hatter's sewing machine.
Our local boy who is making
good is located at TIA Thomas
Street where he operates a mis-
cellaneous store along with making
and, selling hats.
