Hears
About
The Weather
Goldsmith Tells
How To Prepare
For Storms Here
BY BILL SPILlMAN

"The tide is the thing that will
kill you in a hurricane" Sam Gold
smith, head of the local weather
bureau, told members of Key West
Kiwanis Club last, night at their
weekly meeting in the dining room
of the La Concha Hotel.
In describing the worst effects of
a hurricane and ways TO prevent
the loss of life, Goldsmith advised
people to stay out Of rickety shacks
near the beach.
Goldsmith said that only four
hurricanes have hit Key West in
the last fifty years. Key West gets
in the news but 1t is Miami that
gets the hurricanes, he stated.
"You can see that we don't have
many hurricanes here"
Bill Neblett, acting program
chairman, introduced Goldsmith by
saying that weather to Key West
ers is more than q conversational
matter when we hear of the rest
Of the country having temperatures
of ia degrees in some places.
Hurricane Prse avtions
In explaining some precaution-
airy measures to be taken during
a hurricane, Goldsmith said that
windows should be protected by
blinds or shutters. He said that
pressures of five hundred pounds
could be exerted against windows
by hurricane winds.
"Have ample food stored for the
emergency" he said. "Fill your
bathtub with water. Don't listen to
rumors. Listen to your radio for
the news. Just don't get excited
and trust in the Lord"
He added that people should not

suddenly stops because this is the
eye Of the storm passing over.
To prevent pressure being built
up inside houses and causing the
roof to be blown off, Goldsmith
said that a window or door on the

Eyed; Lang Says
He Wants Move

Indications are that most
city administrative offices
will be moved to Poinciana
shortly.
The switch of most of the
city offices to the Poinciana
Administration b u i d i n g
which was recently acquired
from the Key West Realty
Company when they pur-
chased 319 units of the
housing project, was recon-
mended recently by City
Manager Victor Lang. Fin
ance Director Craig Bowen
also spoke up in favor of
the change, along with other
city officials.
Reasons for the switch, include
the fact that the area is less con-
gested than the ore near the city
hall, there is plenty of parking
there and the Poinciana building
will provide more comfortable fac
ilities for city workers.
Nothing Definite
Lang said today, however, that
no definite steps have been taken
to move the offices. He said that
the Poinciana building is present
ly being used to store a quantity
of old furniture.
Lang pointed out that city Of

Rhee Proposes
U.S.-Supplied
Asian Army
Fiery South Korean
President Speaks
To Senate, House

WASHINGTON R-South Korean
President Syngman Rhee proposed
today that an Asian army of more
than two million men, backed by
us. guns, planes and ships, launch
counterattack on Communist
China.
In speech prepared for delivery
before a joint session of Congress,
the fiery 79-year-old Korean leader
said:
"Let us remember that peace
cannot be restored in the world
half Communist and half demo-
cratic.
your momentouS decision is
needed now to make Asia safe for
freedom, for that will automatical-
ly settle the world Communist
problem in Europe, Africa and
America.
Soviet Strategy
Rhee told Congress the essence Of
Soviet strategy for world conquest
is to lull Americans into a sleep
of death by talking peace until
the Soviet Union possesses enough
hydrogen bombs and intercontinen-
tai bombers to pulverize the air.
fields and productive centers Of the
United States by sneak attack"
Rhee has long advocated re-
Stunning hostilities in Korea to drive
the Communists out of the northern
half of his divided land. But this
appeared to be the first time he
proposed an about attack on the
Chinese mainland itself.
He did not call for the use of
us. foot soldiers.
Rhee'S call to arms ran counter
to us. policy, expressed by both
President Eisenhower and Secre-
tary of State Dulles. Both said
publicly last week the United
States does not favor resumption
of the Korean War.
Backing Needed
"The American Air Force as well
as the Navy would be needed to
insure the success of the counter
attack on the Red Chinese regime"
Rhee said, adding: "But let me
repeat, no American foot soldiers"
And, the South Korean leader
asserted:
"The Soviet Union will not stop
of its own volition. 1t must be
stopped"
Urging the United States to act
now, Rhee said the Republic of
Korea has offered this nation its
20 equipped divisions and the men
to make up 20 more.
He said a million and q Aaif

Council Asks Quarters For
Juveniles In County Jail
Discussion Of Work
Of Welfare Worker
Conducted At Meet

The regular business meeting OF
the Juvenile Council was held on
Monday evening at 8 p. m. in the
Monroe County Health Clinic build
ing. Albert Carey, president, pre-
sided.
After a lengthy discussion on
quarters for confinement of ju.
veniles in Monroe County, presi-
dent Carey appointed committee
to contact the County Commission
and request that the $1,000 in the
budget, earmarked for renovation
of the Jail be used to provide spe-
cial quarters in the Monroe County
Jail for juveniles.
Members of the Council asked
for a Qualification of an article
that appeared in The Key West
Citizen on Tuesday, July 20, in the
form of an interview between ia
mes Johnson, child welfare work
er and a Citizen reporter.
The discussion pointed out some
errors in the article, most impor-
tant of which is the fact a child
welfare worker does not have first
jurisdiction on dependent or delin-
quent children.
Referral Cases
Welfare workers work on cases
referred to them by the Juvenile
Court. Johnson was basing his in
formation on a 1916 law.
The 1851 Juvenile Act of Flori-
da gives the Juvenile Court,
throughout the state, first jurisdic-
ton over dependent and delinquent
juvenile cases.
1t was also pointed out that
Johnson is the third Child Welfare
Worker who has worked in Monroe
County.
After the above discussion Ju.
venile Judge Eva Warner Gibson
complimented Johnson on the
splendid work that he is doing in
Monroe County.
President Carey also appointed a

The injury of a two year old
boy yesterday when he was
struck by 4 car, points up the
fact that accidents can happen
IN the twinkling of an eye.
One moment the little boy
was playing quietly and the
next he had darted out into the
street.
The driver of the car had no
chance to stop. Happily, the
lad was not seriously hurt.
So, Mr.. Key West Motorist,

carefully.
