something - in my opinion, such
statements are "hog-wash.
| couldn't find car dealer N
Miami who was able to make a
better offer then our own Key West
concerns. Sure! you can get pieces
of junk with fresh paint hiding the
rust for cheaper price. But qua
lity for quality, Key West and
Miami prices are pretty much
equal. The important factor of fu-
ture service needs actually places
the local buyer ahead of the game.
Miami is fine - for Miamians.
Those people don't come down TO
Key West to trade and there is no
reason why we should neglect our
own welfare by going up there to
do our buying. For my part, do
all my trading in my own home
town.
If | buy enough loves of bread
from the corner grocer, l know
that the time will come when he
will buy U. S. Royal tires or Lodi
recapS from me. If he goes to Mia
mi to buy his tires, that's O. k. -
I'll just quit trading with him and
find grocer who is loyal to Key
West.
Dicks Tire Service is headquar-

specialists in the business of tire
sales and repair. While you might
be able to find a shop in Miami
or some other large town that is
just as good as ours, I'm confident
that you can't find a better one

quality products at lower prices

Art Critic
Here is a portion of a letter
received from an out-of-state read.
er who knows that "ThiS Rock
doesn't care too much for pompous
stuff-shirtS and guShy art critics:
-. from my opinion, art loses
its value when it is not used in
practical life.
II stood in the Metropolitan Art
Gallery years ago before the 'Boy
Blue" painting and listened to peo.
pie around me rave and actually
get hysterical about a picture de.
picting very ordinary looking
boy in blue suit, with a wistful
childish expression that I have
seen on the faces of many, many
children. So what?
"The same people raving over
the painting would pass a ragged
little urchin in front of toy shop
or a window full of candy and
never give the kid a glance.
"All of this diatribe is simple
to state that Art is around you all
the time if you choose to study
and use your God-given imagina-
tion."
Personally, I think a minister
could take the thoughts expressed
above and make a rather nice SER
mon on the subject. They are GER
tainly true!

dation of public drinking water.
I've delayed voicing my objection
because l wanted to find an Asso-
ciated Press news release of about
two years ago.
Since I'm unable to locate the
story, I'll repeat the gist of it from
memory. A group of medical men
out West studied the results of
fluoridation of water and agreed
that the process did have a ten
dency to lessen tooth decay. How
ever, their studies also showed that
the deadly poison might be res
ponsible for rise in other types
of serious illness.
AS l remember it, the report
was summarized with suggestion
that communities approach the
problems with extreme care. Add
ing fluoride to water is a medical
procedure. 1t is also definite cur
tailment of personal liberty.
I've no objection to mass medi.
cation where it will prevent cpl
denies or insure the health of the
general public against a careless
individual. But | don't like the
idea of politicians telling me what
kind of medicine l have to take
just for my own personal health.
Too many authorities have an
nounced that fluoridation will help
prevent tooth decay for us not to
accept the statement as true. By
the same token, ingrowing toe
nails, premature badness, or even
the worries of a broken arm can
be eliminated with a good, stiff
dose of arsenic or Strychnine.

1t must be kept in mind that the Navy has played
the Russian submarine menace for all is worth since
World War H. Unfortunately the Russians do not have
much of surface and this has left Pentagon Ad-
