nearest to Washington.
Crossing the Chesapeake Bay
Bridge, Rehoboth lies just ITO
miles from Washington by way
of Denton, Md, and Georgetown,
Del. It is the easiest to reach
of all the seaside resorts.
For many years Rehoboth
Beach has attracted diplomats
from many lands and officials
of Government and industry.
Its quiet. restful atmosphere
is a welcome relief from the
hustle of city life.
Forests Meet the Sea
Rehoboth is one Of the few
spots along the Atlantic where
the forests meet the sea. Here
groves of giant pines grow to
the edges Of the beach, and the
woods are filled with dogwood
and other blooming shrubs.
While Rehoboth is essentially
q family resort, with accommo-
dations for more than $4,000

There usually is a women'S
golf tournament each summer
at the country club with its nine
hole course, and trapshooting
events also are a summer fea-
ture.
One Hundred Fishing Boots
Rehoboth always has been a
center of ocean flShlng, ana
there now are more than 100
boats available for fishing par

SIGNALS" of today's do-it-your-
self group have lined up as many
outside maintenance or renova-
ton jobs as possible. But for
rainy days we have plenty Of
unfinished business indoors.
One of these rainy-day prof.
ects is removing wall paper from
couple of bedrooms and get
ting the walls set up for redec-
grafton. Just ask here and there
about the best way of removing
wall paper and you'll be amazed
at the various opinions advanced
and. methods suggested.
So far this writer has been
able to find specific products that
are marketed to do specific jobs.
Some of these are old standbys;
others are new.
This writer has found from
experience that when exact di-
rections were followed the results
were as advertised, and that on
those occasions and on this
most men must plead guilty
when he assumed he knew how
to use the products without in
struction, the results were far
from satisfactory.
Removes Paper Easily.
One wall paper remover now
on the market will remove paper
easily, quickly and clearly, if
the simple directions are fol-
lowed.
A pint Of the concentrate,
diluted with one gallon of cold
water. will do a large room.
Smaller quantities can also be
mixed, using a ratio of eight
parts water to one part con-
centrate.
The directions state: apply
freely to wall paper with brush
or sponge" This writer, using a
basin and a sponge. daubed the
solution on with the sponge
saturated, and held the basin
against the wallpaper as close
to the area as possible.
The application started at the
top of one width of paper and
was continued down to the base
board. Removing the paper was
unbelievably easy. A width six
or seven inches deep was scraped
clean with a wide putty knife.
Then, working the putty knife
behind the paper at the top edge
across the entire width, the pa
per was allowed to peel itself
under its own saturated weight.
The putty knife was used only
where the paper didn't peel fast
enough to keep the entire width
moving downward to the base

Smelt Spawning
Season Is Near
In Lakes Section
By JAMES A. O. GROVE

LANSING, Mich. Up - Any day
now, in some little stream con-
nected to the Great Lakes, the first
smelt will answer the call of warm
ing water and start swimming up
stream to spawn.
When that happens, one of the
zaniest of outdoor sports will be
under way.
The first spawning smelt will be
followed Immediately by uncounted
millions which will swarm up to
the streams in such hordes that
you wouldn't believe it unless you
saw them.

very little fish seldom 60 over six
or seven inches in length, but when
they are at the peak of their
spawning run, they pack the
streams from bank to bank and
from top to bottom.
If you think that behavior is
strange, you ought to see what
happens to the human species.
They swarm to the streams in
thousands. Dressed in warm but
motley clothing, they plunge into
the water armed with the strang-
est assortment of equipment you
ever saw. DipnetS, bushel baskets,
gunny sacks, old hats, dishpans-
anything that will serve the pur.

Regardless Of whether the gov

Such a duplication of scheduled
routes would be the opening gun
in a race for all airlineS to at

Don't misunderstood me-I'm
all for Peninsular being allowed to
operate into Key West if NAL con.
tinues its stubborn policy of re-
fusing to send representatives
down here and at least attempting
compromise. However, it just
wouldn't be practical.
National Airlines would probably
love to have Peninsular set an
example Of two airlines operating
the same route because Eastern
Airlines has lucrative routes which
National could then claim a right
to operate on. The same thing of
course applies to Eastern, Pan

BAND PERFORMANCE PRAISED

| - ~ SNNsCNNS6
Editor, The Citizen
1t was my great pleasure to
have been in Havana recently to
witness the carnival. The carnival
itself was pleasure to, see but
my greatest pleasure was the
sight of our band marching in the
parade.
Of all the performances of our
band that it has been my good
fortune to witness l personally be-
lieve the performance on that oc-
casion was the best ever.
The quality of music as played
by them then was of the finest.
That in itself was enough to make
any Key Wester that was present
swell with pride.
Then the precision of intricate
routine as done by the band was
flawleSS in execution. AS viewed
by me, l could not see misstep
or other movement that was amiss.
Although the weather was damp
it did not dampen the enthusiastic
acclaim of the onlookers who ac-
corded them prolonged applause.
The favorable comments of the
crowds along the line of march
(both Latin and American) instill-
ed in Key WeSters a great feeling
of elation.
Not only was the bands rendi-
ton of music and precision OF drill
exemplary but conduct and per-
sonal magnetism of individual
charm captivated all who saw and
met them.
Though my presence in Havana
was in an unofficial capacity
was in constant contact with the
band and visited the schools where
the children were quartered daily.
The directors of both the Aguayo
and the Valdes Rodriguez schools
who are personally known to me
had nothing but praise for the de-
pertinent of our girls and boys.
Thanks is due the caretakers
and chaperones for the wonderful
job they did and their constant
vigil and understanding attitude
displayed by them toward our
children.
Harold R. CaSterton, our band
director, deserves the thanks and
appreciation of our city. We are
indeed fortunate to have one such
as he to teach our youngsters. His
patience with children and his
musical teaching ability are a
wonder to behold. May we always
be able to have a person of his
ability in our band room.
Let not the extreme good be-
havior of our children and the
outstanding musical performance
they rendered obscure the import

Cornell. He is and l am sure all
that know him will agree) rare
and valuable person in our midst.
Year in and year out he gives
unstintingly of his time effort and
knowledge of shown anship gratis.
It is through his efforts that ma
terials when needed are procured.
His intense interest and guidance
gives us outstanding drill perfor-
nance from our band members.
His method of teaching and his
kindness and ability to get things
done are rare and inspiring COM
bination.
Let us then be loud in our praise
OF all the members of the High
school band and its officers and
support it's activities. For they
are credit to Key West and its
people.

LESS CIGARETTE SMOKING


The Fifth District Bank of the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn reported recently that cigarette consumption was
apparently down about per cent.
The report was something of surprise because
cigarette consumption normally would be expected to
rise.
Coming on the heels of report from the East-re-
veang that tax collections cigarette sales in that
were down recentythe report tends to confirm the be-
lief that trend is underway.
In this connection it is we'll to note that the rate of
growth OF cigarette consumption slowed after both
World War and World War H. Now that the Korean
War is over the rate of growth in the consumption of
cigarettes not only slowed but consumption is actually
declining in areas. This trend is not altogether
result of publicity given recently to the connection be-
tween lung cancer and cigarette smoking.
It is probably due to many things, normal trend
which usually follows the termination of war, the in
PRODUCTION of longer kingszed cigarettes which may
be reducing the number of cigarettes smoked, and the
publicity concerning lung cancer.
There is no reason to believe consumption will not
continue to remain high or increase, in coming
months IT, for other reason the growth in population
in the u S. will tend to increase cigarette consumption
in the United States for number of years to come
There is denying the fact however, that very OBJ
vious trend toward lighter smoking has set in among
of the nations smokers.
