be done with the money. For one
it could be used to build NUM-
cipal Auditorium which could be
used to great advantage especial
ly in bringing conventions to Key
West. Conventions bring paying
customers for almost everyone in
business. We would also have a
place where many different type
events could be held. Another
would be to have a modern City
Hall, something sorely needed in
the City. Another could be that in
developing an outstanding beach

flooded and outdated streets could

would relieve the congested shop

but what's the use!
A couple of other questions that
entered my mind (not related to
the swimming pool), which l hope
someone can answer are: What
happens to the fines average of
approximately. 100000 per year,
paid in City Court - understand
there isn't any law covering the
use Of it. Who determines what is
done with this and exactly where
does 1t 60?

This Rock
Of Ours

verse; newspaper publicity killed
the fluoridation project. Rather, !
think truthful statements of facts
concerning the experimental pro-
perties of the program caused folks
to ask for more time to investi-
gate the matter.
The Public Health Service and
proponents of the process are yet
to explain why they are so insis-
tent on fluoridating water when
there are dozens of other services
which they might perform which
would in no way irritate a persons
feeling of individual liberty.
Sympathy For Commissioners
Sometimes / feel sorry for the
city commissioners. They probably
have the most thankless job in Key
West - and they receive the least
pay for their efforts.
There are other times when I
feel that these same commission
ers deserve q lot more abuse than
they get = and that they are over
paid by about IS. at every meet
ing.
I'll say this much for our pre-
sent City Fathers - I think they
are honest and ] think they are
trying. Heaven along knows what
it is they':are trying" however.
They allow little things to build in
to headline gossip and fail to re-
cognize the many important events
which are giving us all ulcers.
Take ]. Y. Porter - know for
a fact that at least one commits
sioner knew in advance that Por-
ter was representing the ferry COM
pany. J. Y. was open and above
board regarding the condition and
the double representation practice
is so common in the legal field
that I didn't even think it was
worth mentioning.
Imagine my surprise therefore,
to see the situation blown up into
scare headlines! Woe is me - may
be someday I'll learn to recognize
news!

Dick
Says

For fifteen years l was a profess
sional stunt parachute jumper.
Never once during that time do I
consider that ! was gambling my
life the way those fishermen On
the Overseas Highway bridges dol
Last Labor Day / saw men and
women walk right out in the mid
die Of the road without bothering
to look for automobiles. They
would cast with their rod and reels
as if they were in the middle Of
the Sahara Desert and had all the
room in the world
l can't see that kind of stuff. The
Key West Safety Council - and
I'm member of 1t - is stress
ing safe driving. For gosh sakesl
Let's develop a little courtesy and
safe practices amongst roadside
pedestrians too! I'm going to APP
point myself as a committee of one
to study the matter.
Our Florida State and Monroe
County Highway patrolmen are on
the road twenty -four hours per day.
Surely they must see examples Of
this carelessness on the part of
bridge fishermen. wonder if they
couldn't take time out to lecture
some of the worst offenders.
None of us want 10, kill an inno-
cent man, women, or child but al
ready, there have been too many
deaths (and injuries) on the brid-
ges. OF course, the proposed cat
walks should help in the matter
but even then, thousands of folks
will continue to use bridge fishing
spots where there are no catwalks.
Heck, here / am using up all of
this space and forgetting to get my
advertising message in the column.
Don't have much to say anyway
You know that Dicks Tire Ser
vice, located at 929 Truman Ave.

Word from the charter boat
docks has it that preparations for
the giant fish fry to be held the
day before the Key West Cuba
ferry sails, are progressing in fine
fashion.
Under the capable direction of
Cap'n Johnny West and Raw
Knopp- both old hands at planning
such affairs, the fish fry promises
to be a huge success.
Knopp, also an old hand at pro-
noting, has repeatedly come up
with a few odds and ends such as
100 cases Of soft drinks and a
truckload of cole slaw. Business
men are beginning to vince when
they see him coming. But his
winning smile and silvery tongue
will undoubtedly win them over
and Key Westers--you are all in
vited-are going to have a mighty
good time.
West, who is in charge of gather
ing the fish for the affair, reports
that charter and bottom fishing
boatmen are cooperating nicely.
But West says that a lot more
fish is needed and asked that all
fishermen turn their surplus over
to him.

Recruiter For
Army Opens
New Office

u. S. Army recruiter for this
area, Master Sergeant Henry J.
Reynaud, Jr., will be in Key West
from Saturday through next Thurs
day to interview applicants for
Army service.
Sergeant Reynaud says that he
has received so many inquiries
about the Army on his trips here
that he is unable to handle all of
them on his two-day schedule, so
he has heightened his stay here.
A new office as been provided
for Army recruiting work. IL 10
located in the Post Office building,
Room 21s. Office hours are from
10 am until 8 pm. on the days
Sgt. Reynaud is here.
The new office viii contain

worn by men in the Army, as well
as the decorations and service
medals which can be earned while
in service.
Free literature on the Army
School Program Is available az
the office. as is information about
the II branches of service now
open to eligible young men and
women.
Sgt. Reynaud expressed pleasure
that the people of Key West are so

What's this? They're selling fluor-
idized salt?
Sure sounds good, but there's one
big fault:
For fast-growing kids, too much
salt is not good.
And fluoride is best in water, not
food.

cheap,
Il can buy it and keep on boarding

Words are things, and q small
drop OF ink,
Falling like dew on q thought,
produces
That which makes thousands, per-
haps millions, think.
Being in a literary frame Of
mind, let's talk about words.
Ever stop to think of the beauty
and the power of the written word?
The politicians do, as well as
the poets.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, pro-
badly more than any other
political figure since Caesar, de-
pending on words to bring him
power.
A good illustration, we think,
occurred in the dark days of the
depression.
President Hoover, campaigning
for reelection against the upstart
Roosevelt made this statement:
Ninety per cent of our difficulty
Is caused by fear"
Roosevelt, in his first inaugural
address, made a statement with
the same meaning, but he put it
this way: "The only thing we have
to fear is fear itself"
That phrase is still quoted IS
a model of his oratory.
How sonorous it is, compared
with Mr.. Hoover's utterance.

Seldom have we suffered more
horrible tragedy amongst local re-
sidents than the one which recent
ly befell the Roosevelt Cash fam
lily. Four persons - including three
children - lost their lives in an
automobile accident.
Cash works as a laborer in the
rigger's shop at the Naval Station.
His supervisor, J. o. White, is try
ing to create fund to aid him.
Mere money can never erase the
sorrow but it would certainly help
to ease part of the burden which
the Cash family is experiencing at
this time.
Have any of you good folks 4
suggestion?
White would particularly like for
some organization to step forward
and handle the job. He feels that
aid could be rendered more eff
GENTLY in this manner. OF course,
the rigging shop is doing what il
can but the group is hardly large
enough to assume the entire res
possibility.
Delaney On Elveridssion
Jack Delaney, city commission
err, has told me that his position
with regard to fluoridation was moi
clearly understood at the meeting
in City Hall last Tuesday.
Says Jack. "My opinion the other
night boiled down to the simple
fact that / felt the entire matter
should be settled by a referendum.
While I'm not against huoridation
personally, l definitely am against
forcing it on the people"
Harvey and Cobo apparently rea-
lized that they could not successful
ly force the issue. In the mean.

by private. residents to present to
the County Commissioners repeat,

Editor, The Citizen:
I might as wen get my two cents
worth in on the Municipal SWIM
ming Pool idea.
There are many disadvantages
to the idea in my opinion and
many more advantageous things
things that could be done with the
500, 900 or $50, 600 dollars it will
take to build 1t.
I can't believe that q pool like
this would be a tourist attraction.
One of the best designed and most
beautiful pools in the world would
only draw spectators - not pay
ing customers.
II has been recommended that a
S per cent utility tax be placed
on residences and business estab-
lishments to finance the cost. This
would not be 2 fair tax simply be-
cause it wouldn't tax the people
that might use it. Tourists wouldn't
pay the tax and the bally-hoo OF
building it is that it would be a
great tourist attraction.
Another unfair part of the tax
is that those residents of Peary
Court and Sigsbee Park who aren't
even entitled to any kind of vote
would have to pay the tax too. The
majority of these residents are
military and there are five mill
tary pools available for their use
- 20 they wouldn't, in all proba'
bility use the municipal pool.
There are many things that could

NEW BOMBER RECORD

sweptwing reconnaissance bomber, designated by
the Air Force RB47E recently flew between Wichita
Kansas, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at an average
speed of 622 miles hour The impressive part of
the flight and above the fact that this was new
speed record this distance that the bomber flew
at this speed without using the full power of its jet
gines.
The sxjet bomber flew at altitude of 35 900 feet
and is reported to have carried 5000 gallons of fuel for
the test The big reconnaissance plane has several
tons which make of primary interest One of them is
approach parachute which the plane it en-
tiers the landing pattern The plane also carries another
parachute for brakng purposes, and is reported that
the first parachute allows the jet engines to operate at
higher rate of thrust than otherwise possible This
abes the pilot, if landing conditions not suitable to
cut off the parachute and Immediately accelerate rapid
y This has been of the problems with jet engines
which do not react to fuel increase rapidly.
Another innovation of the plane is water injection
system used in its engines The water is injected into the
engines and keeps the combustion temperature down,
producing greater power In the recent test flight the
water injection system used and those in the plane
said it was if had given the big plane swift
kick from behind.
Another strange feature of the new aircraft is it's
droopy wings The wngps have been forced up and down
in nineteenfoot without damaging the metal struc-
ture and the 116foot wing be moved several feet by
standing the end and pushing it up down.
The new reconnaissance bomber is extremely fast
and represents milestone in the construction of swift
jet reconnaissance planes capable of carrying heavy loads
over long distances.

Joe Boyle tells this one:
In the congregation of a local
church during Sunday morning
services there was a young bride
whose husband was an usher. Be-
coming somewhat worried about
having left roast in the oven,
she wrote a note to her husband,
sending it to him by another ush-
er.
The latter, thinking it was a
note for the pastor, hurried down
the aisle and laid it on the pulpit.
Stopping abruptly in the middle
of his sermon to read the note,
the astonished pastor was met
with this written Injunction:
please 60 home and turn off
the gas"
