We never dreamed
Needing the services of an en-
tire community, the Tercentenary
committee of the Jewish Commun-
ity Council had reached out in
every direction and called to the
task a large number of devoted
Phoenicians, many of them work
ing together for the first time.
We were not long strangers. We
found that We liked each other, and
enjoyed our shared effort. Though
we might always have differences,
we learned that it was possible to
find common meeting ground
and, with common purpose, actu-
ally to create together something
beautiful and meaningful for all of
us.
Such was the stirring and poetic
Tercentenary pageant, "To Be
Free" which provided participants
as we'll as audience with an exper-
ience never to be forgotten, an eve
ming which might we'll prove for
many of us to have been one of
| the high points in our lives.
Such, too, was the Tercentenary
religious service held jointly by our
three SynagOgueS on Thanksgiving
morning-a truly stirring service
and a heart-warming example of
cooperation and mutual under
standing amongst the rabbis and
congregations of the community.
YOND THE frindships
formed and the great feeling Of
unity which the Tercentenary pro-
vided, there were many lessons to
be learned as We adventured into
history. We looked back into our
past, and all of us, in few short
months, became familiar with the
lives and careers of scores of out
standing Americans who came be-
fore us.
We learned their acts of hero
ism, and we saw them as proud
possessors of that great idealism
which made them inheritors of
jewish. and builders of American
tradition.
ASser Levy, Solomon Carvalho,
GerShom MendeS Seixas, David
Einhorn u names we never heard
before = are now familiar to us,
not only as ancestors worthy of
devotion, but also as human beings
whom we love and understand.
We feel their idealism stirring in
us. Perhaps We, too, can rise to
great heights as they did, if the
opportunity should arise.
\
NEW INSIGHTS into the role of
these heroes of our past, and the
part We can play today, came to
us in the Tercentenary sermon
preached by Rabbi Isaiah Zeldin,
Director of the Western Region of
the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations.
He reminded us that each time
our early forebears took a stand
for religious liberty, they did more
than simply bring equality to the

Americas best selling car.
Chevrolet, is sticking pretty
much to last years body style
but has shufiied its two engines
around.
The IFS horsepower BLUE
Flame" engine, used last year in
the Powerglide car this year is
used in the hand shifted models.
It's place is taken by another
engine of 125 horsepower, whose
boost in power comes largely
from a redesigned camshaft.
Compression ratio remains the
same. rs to l.
So, in effect, Chevrolet has
dropped the manufacture Of a
different engine for its manu-
ally shifted car and uses the same
engine, with refinements to one,
in both.
Exterior trim remains nearly
the same with only design
touches at the rear to identify
the series. The front grill has
been changed for a broader,
more rugged look and the bumper
guards, parking lights and hood
ornaments now conform to it.
The Bel Air series introduced
last year this year gains an
other member, station wagon.
About the most important
extra" news for Chevrolet this
year is that all models are avail
able with Powerglide.

SIudqe Remover in With Oil
HELPS Prevent Greasy Clutch

One advantage in using sludge
remover in with the engine oil
is to improve action Of the drain
which at the rear main engine
bearing helps to return oil to
the crankcase instead of letting
it work through to the clutch.
But this treatment is not adj
visable until the oil pan has
been taken down and manually
cleaned out first. In trying to
correct a minor situation in the
motor it IS unwise to run the
risk Of stirring up a large &C
emulation OF Sludge.
Regular use of detergent type
oils are most effective in keep
ing the oiling system clean and

free Of organic matter and
sludge.
But don't forget that sludge is
an emulsion matter, plus dirt
and water. The engine needs
good filtration, both of air and
oil.
Keeping the oil free Of excess
sive quantities of diluent, in
Guiding water, is a matter of
avoiding too many short, cold
runs. Make sure the engine
thermostat is working properly.
Avoid r-chocking. Take adj
vantage of upgrades to warm up
the engine and drive diluent into
vapor form so that it can escape
through the crankcase ventila-
ton system.

A Neat Trick
For Fast IdIinu

II you have been struggling
with the problem of setting the
throttle so that you can fast idle
the engine. you may be inter-
ested in a little trick that is being
passed around.
This calls for use of a monkey
wrench which is frightened up to
take hold of the brake pedal.
The handle then presses against
the accelerator pedal.
It isn't difficult at all to ad-
just for just the right engine
speed for the fast idling. Mighty
useful if the battery is weak and
you need to fast idle the engine
with the car out on the drive
way for 10 minutes or so.

One way to double check this
Is to note II the noise is from

the arrest of three persons for fail
ure to pay delinquent Scavenger
service bills as the first move in a
full scale drive to clear up more
than 500 past due accounts.

from them in instances TO verify
her claims.
Why They're Stocked
Miss Knowles was asked why
the local newsstands sold the OBJ
jectionable books. She said that
newsdealers in most cases had to
take certain amount Of these
books or else they would not be
given the better magazines to sell.
After Miss Knowles speech,
Commander C. C. Totherow, new
Naval Base legal officer, stated
that he was not q member Of the
council but that 1t was his sugges-
ton that the council pass . resQlu-
ton that would indicate the ais
favor to the obscene literature sal
es and that the council would take
all passable measures to boycott
newstands that sell the books.
Under Consideration
Joe Boza, president elect Of the
Juvenile Council, stated that the
Boys and Girls Committee of the
Kiwanis Club is giving the matter
serious consideration.

To Arrive In
City Wod-,oday
BY JIM COBB

Key Westers of Italian
descent are being screened
for possible parts in "The
Rose Tattoo" it was learned
today.
In interviews conducted
Saturday in the Casa Ma
tina headquarters of Hal
Wallis productions, dialogue
director Mickey Knox spoke
to more than a score of local
residents in an effort to find
talent suitable for the pic
ture.
Local Assistance
He was aided by Mickey Renna,
former stage star, now president
of the Key West Players. Mrs.
Renna said today that she ''had
nothing to release and that no de-
cision had been made concerning
any part"
Final decision, che said, viii
await the arrival of Danny Mann,
director Of the production Of Ten
nessee Williams play, which win
be released through Paramount
Pictures.
1t was learned, however, that
"matronly types" suitable to play
the part Of Burt Lancaster's moth
er, are being sought in particular.
Likely Prospects
\ Interviewed for that part, it is
understood, were Mrs. Luigi Gel.
luci, wife Of the Duval Street res
taurateur, Mrs. Charley TOPPING,
Mrs. John Anastasia, and Mrs.
Grace Cifelli, who operates q Tru.
man Avenue restaurant.
Meanwhile, Emmett Commit,
manager of the Casa Marina, said
that Anna Magnani, who viii make
her American movie debut in the
film, will arrive in Key West We'd
nesday, along with director Mann.
She will drive to Key West from
Miami.
Crowd Due Here
A group of 100 actors, technicians
and administrative personnel will
be in the city for about three
weeks during the shooting schedul-
ed to start Nov. 3.
At least two Key West homes
and a Duval Street bar will be
utilized as settings in the movie.
Tennessee Williams, who main.
tains a residence on Duncan Street,
will arrive in Key West on Sun
day. He has written the script Of
the movie adapted from his sue
cessful Broadway play and will aid
in the production.

the current Federal aid-to-air-
ports program.
That letter enclosed a sketch
and also told him about the pro-
posed east-west runway extern
sion.
The letter also asked for q COPY
OF Towner's recommendations TO
Washington that the land be
transferred to the county.
That letter, too, tol6 Towner
the county would spend money to
help relocate US. Ito aid Boca
Chica expansion-if the county
got title to the land.
Towner's Reply
Then, on Sept. "A, Towner
wrote that he had understood the
extension was to be on the north
west-southeast runway.
He claims the east-west run
way extension would bring
Meacham traffic into conflict
with Boca Chica traffic, even
though most of the extension viii
be on the west end Of the run
way-away from Boca Chica.
On Oct. S, county officials met
with Navy officials ct Boca
Chica. Among those present was
Capt. c. S. Willard, commander
of Boca Chica.
At that meeting the COUNT
agreed that east-bound aircraft
taking off from Meacham on the
eaSt-west runway would make
right turns away from Boca
Chica.
This plan even now Is in et.
feet.
County Agreement
The county also agreed TO ap-
propriate money to install and
operate a direct phone line from
Meacham to Boca Chica as
safety factor in controlling take
offs.
The county has officially okay-
ed this phone line and the funds
for it.
The operations officer of Boca
Chica said he believed it would be
safe to 60 ahead with the extension
with the right-hand turns and the
phone line.
But the county still Is waiting
on word from Adm. Towner.
He has told the county nothing
whether he will or will not okay
the transfer of the Ill acres so
the expansion program can 90
ahead.
"At least he could let US know
one way or the other" one county
official remarked.
