What Went On
In Key West
|Duringl954
Ferry Start And
Sewer Completion
Lead Local News

The start of Key West
Cuba ferry operation and
the completion of the city's
two-million dollar sewer
project rank as the major
news stories of 1854, a year
packed with significant de-
velopments as Key West
showed its greatest progress
ever.
Probably the only bleak note in
the picture was the city's traffic
accident situation.
Damage in auto crashes has
mounted to well over $1OO, 900 and
the number of accidents eclipses
all records. Happily, there were
but two deaths.
The new year, according to The
Citizen files, started off with a
bang, with Mark Lawrence Miller,
of Big Pine Key, being the first
baby to be born in Key West. He
was showerd with gifts from local
merchants.
Political Picture
Politics dominated the scene
early in the year with county and
state primary elections. High point
there was the return to office Of
state representative Bernie c. Pa
py, who defeated Mayor c. B. Har-
yey and former City Manager Dave
King by the largest plurality of his
20-year political career.
During January, the Citizen was
packed with stories about snow
storms in the north - but Key
West had a storm of its own brew
ing - in city hall. Reason was a
police department shake-up which
saw Bienvenido Perez named as
chief. He still has the job.
On the crime front, Key West
had a relatively quiet year. There
were only two slayings that could
be termed sensational" They
were the cases of Bruno James
COlosimo, slain in Duval st. bar

No goal for the current drive was
announced, but knight said that
Monroe County had 81 new cases Of
the dread disease last year and
that there were Is cases from pre-

Clothes and the Man

The days of decision are at hand again.
We are so beset with the need for decision that
one more to be made should not bring the upset
that it does. But bird, false witness, is singing
outside the window. The sun is shining Even
though the window has been open all night, the
bedroom does not seem as chilly as on mornings
past. And man, the perennial optimist, is GER
tain that this is the day to leave the topcoat at
home.
It has been a hard winter, and it is only
right that the voice of the turtle should be
heard little earlier. This certainly is the day.
It might be WELL later, to inquire about storage
rates for the winter garments. For the sun is
shining and bird is singing outside the window.
The decision is made The topcoat is left hang
ing m the closet.
Within few minutes, the decision is re-
GREETED. The sun does not offer the promised
warmth. The bird song seems to have become
d nagging complaint as the bird huddles with
head almost hidden by ruffied feathers. AT the
bus stop, others are comfortably clad in topcoats
and SNUG attitude.
The next time the sun shines and bird
sings in the early morning, one takes down the
topcoat, dons It, and fastens each button Sc
curely. This time, the bird is frisking in warm
sunshine At the bus stop, others are in their
shirtsleeves, or have broken out summer suits.

This and That

In the old days, in the heyday of the
small country country town. the bully
was almost an official character.
He specialized in making nasty re-
marks, and carrying them out with,
blows. or strictly unofficial tortures.
He had a. way of grabbing an OPP
ponent. swinging him around, and fore
ing him to his knees.
Then the victim was made to say.
Uncle"
This childish procedure somehow
satisfied some instinct in the mind and
heart Of the bully.
He was not play bully, however: in
most cases he swung mean left, and
IN the old days thought nothing much
of gouging an opponents eye out.
This style of gutter fighting seems to
have disappeared, fortunately, being re-
placed mostly by wordy argument.
The town bully still survives, in little,
IN many business establishment.
10 Today he is held down by the ages
and by office rules and regulations. most
Of them unwritten and unspoken. They
function just the same.
Even the bully understands them.
This drives him to a petty form Of
intimldating his mates and associates,
one of which is mentioned by our COR
respondent.
He comes over and puts the window
up. preferably on the coolest day.

Then he stalks away. saying as plain

On the theory that the soft answer
turneth away wrath, the best answer
to this type of juvenile action is to
wait seemly time, then close the win
dow.
Do not jump up instantly. That
throws down challenge.
What the bully seeks is the enlarge
ment Of his own ego, and he secures
it by small passage of time.
Instant retaliation means to all
watching the scene that his ego is of
little account.
Let him, therefore, have a little salts
faction for his meager ego. Do not throw
down the gauntlet at once, but give the
thing time to work out, and he may be
satisfied After time, close the win
dow
If that doesn't work. G. L., you are
in for it.
Don't 60 numbering to your super
visor. He'll take the bully'S side. every
time. Let the fellow know, once and
for all, that two can play at the bully
game. Nine times out Of ten, he will
be so surprised that you will have no
more trouble with him. If you stand
up to him, he may even become good
friend! It is worth trying.

FulIs Church Finances

Your editorial of February Is asked
for facts concerning the possible eff
fects Of the pending school bond issue
on the Falls Church tax rate. Yours was
q reasonable desire to see the air
cleared of irresponsible claims that an
increase of more than one-third would
be felt in the real estate tax rate.
Falls Church seems to be just big
enough to break into the news with
its quarrels. but rarely to rate space
for the sober facts about our better
sides, Scant notice has been taken in
the press Of the favorable trends re-
vealed by the report of the councils
tax study committee, dated January
IL. or of the supplementary data on
bonded debt released in preliminary
form at the council meeting of January
IS and again as an attachment to the
resolution adopted February 8. or Of
the facts recited by Councilman Bonn
on February % concerning the condi-
ton of surplus and reserve funds. All
Of these showed that Falls Church.
despite its rapid growth, enjoys a
basically healthy financial condition.
For obvious reasons, the council has
been unable to predict next years tax
rate at this time. three months before
the budget customarily is considered.
From reports thus far, however. it APP
pears that without any change in pres
ent tax levels. city revenues will in
crease by about $55. 1000. or per cent,
next fiscal year. First estimates of ex-
penditures, including servicing of both
the school bonds and the 1858 general
Improvement bonds, are about twice
that amount. The council thus will
need to cover at most an apparent
deficit of about $4,000.
This is not a frightening prospect
The budget submitted two years ago
contained a larger apparent deficit,
and last year it was more than $18,-
600: in neither case did taxes have to
be raised. Aside from possible cuts in
expenditures, there are several exist
ing sources Of funds. Moreover, past
budgets have consistently underesti-
mated future income-last year by
$4,000 for the general fund plus $780,
600 for school aid.
It would be dangerous to rely too
heavily upon such special sources. but
they can and should be used for the
purposes they were intended to full
I'LL, including the covering of unusual
temporary demands for debt payments.
The following year, when we will not
have comparable increases in debt pay
ments cutting into the normal expan-
sion Of revenues, the comfortable safety
margin under which we now operate
can be restored. But whether we can
