cod CONTINUES DRIVE TO HELP
REDUCE USE OF SICK LEAVE

GlIC OAoi1dtlSC OCPOt COilI1tlu
ing drive to reduce the use of sick
leave to bona fide illnesses paid
off during the month of December
when employees of the depot used
/ the least amount of sick leave for
the same month since 1949. and
achieved the lowest rate for use
of sick leave attained during 1858.
Only 3.8 percent of the man
hours scheduled for work in Dec.
were utilized by sick leave, post
statistical branch of the manage
ment office, show. This represents
savings of $5,5O1 in reduced use
of sick leave over December of
1852.
Statistician Rodriguez estimates
that an aggregate saving of $685.
829 would result in 1854 if the
sick leave rate for the year was re-
duced from the 1858 rate of AT
per cent to the 38 percent rate
achieved for the month of Decem-
ber, and provided the employment
level remained the same.
The best records for reduced
sick leave for the month were
made by Transportation and Stock
Control Divisions.
1t is noted that Stock Control,
with % men and 100 women en-
ployees, showed pronounced re-
duction in sick leave utilization as
compared with other divisions.
During the early months of 1858
this division was generally in sew
enth place, and never placed bet
ter than fifth in the period under
review. During October and No
vember, the division climbed to
fourth place, and in December, it
was tied for first place with Trans
portation Division.
Transportation Division, with II
men and Is women employees, con-
tinueS to show one of the lowest
sick leave utilization rates on the
depot
A number of Erie Ordnance Depot
employees were able to work all
of 1853 without having to use
day of sick leave. Those who were
able to accumulate for time of
need all Is days of their allowed
1858 sick leave were:

A TWENTY YEAR MANS WIFE
The Key West citizen., 1954-08-25

Several years ago, ] happened to
sit in on q debate between car
toonist AL Capp and . group Of
noted educators.
They were. discussing the possi-
BILE bad effect Of comic books on
young children.
The educators claimed that youth
was being corrupted by tales Of
murder and mayhem in the comic
books Of that day.
Capp took the opposite view and,
at the time, he was the apparent
victor in the debate.
He said that kids could hardly
escape q certain amount of vio-
Ience and immortality, no matter
what sort Of literature they were
exposed to.
He cited some standard chill
dren's classics to support his con-
tention.
In Treasure Island, for example,
he pointed out that the boy hero,
Jim Hawkins, actually packs 4 gun
and used 1t when he shot poor Is
rael Hand off the rigging of the
good ship Hispaniola. Stevenson al
50 sketched several other unsav-
ory characters for the edification
Of the younger readers.
Capp also used Oliver Twist as
an illustration. He averred that
modern youngsters can get some
inside and authoritative Information
on how to pick pockets from the
notorious Fagan.
And the lovable Huckleberry
Finn would hardly serve as q shin.
ing example for our young read
erS with his penchant for law
breaking, Capp argued.
ALI Of this was in support Of
Capp's theory that kids are sure to
be exposed to a certain amount of
sin, regardless of what they read.
But Mr.. Capp offered that argu-
ment several years ago.
wonder If he still feels that
way, in view of the low estate the
comic books have reached.
If you don't think they are rock.
bottom in the, sin pit take look
at them.
L .
They are stepped in sin, sex and
degradation. They are on the bor-
derline Of pornography. They paint
an entirely unrealistic view Of life
to impressiOnable youngsters who
devour them by the dozens. .s

This Rock
Of Ours
By Bill Glib

/ walked into Dion 4 Smiths
and was greeted in . very un-
friendly manner by q guy !
thought was my friend. Charles
Smith, when he saw me. shouted
words reminiscent Of "Auld
Clootie" Mendoza:
''For crying out loud! What are
you trying to do?-put me out OF
busineSs?"
II seems that last week, Smith
gave me an ad to put in the paper.
One sentence in the ad was sup
posed to be deleted-namely,
ssYour old tires viii make the
down-payment." But Smith didn't
tell me to delete it--theretore, in
my book, he was wrong.
To make a long story short, the
next day I thought ! would try
to help Smith out. ] wrote 4
short paragraph correcting the ad
to read: "Your old tires viii not
be taken as trade"
That did It'll That's why Smith
is provoked with me. In trying
to pick up the tumble, ! fumbled
the ball right out Of the field. It
seems that tires are taken in
trade but not as q down-payment.
Sure wish could find . peaceful
job-something like being on the
police force and arguing with
taxi drivers!
Speaking OF Taxis
Because Of one or two chauf-
feurs who have difficulty in dis
tinguishing between right and
wrong, nearly all Of our taxis in
Kew West are getting bad name.
Let's not be too rash with our
condemnation Of others.
Take Flonnie Pellicier, as an
example. -.
Flonnie has been driving his
own cab for a number Of years.
He is q family man, has worked
as 4 school guard. and is about
as decent as they come. Not long
ago a passenger lost a pocket
book with a couple Of hundred dol
liars in FIonnie's cab. Flonnie
searched until he found tie pas
senger and returned the money.
Such action isn't unusual
amongst the taxi drivers. Time
and again, they have gone out Of
their way to do me a special favor
and they certainly didn't do it be-
cause they stood to gain anything.

THERE WAS A REASON

Editor, The Citizen:
May reply to my friend Bill Gibbs article in your
issue of Aug 49, relative to Peary Court fairgrounds?
First The Key West Public Works Department is
fault having dumped street sweepngs at the
field at Peary Court made the request for it. With
this statement know that many will say "Thats fine
way to build a ball field or playground" That
would be true if it were to be left this way.
When work was started this field and play
ground area there many low spots that required
FILL No other fill was available except mari and this
was used Any one knows that you cannot play ball
anything else on white, glarey field therefore my
request for these sweepngs that to be spread over
the white mar then raked clean and all rubbish remov-
ed, leaving clean field.
After the sweepings were placed there, the grader
was tied up in essential street work and unable to
do the spreading Immediately. In the meantime work
was started on the playground Elizabeth Fleming
Streets, also the one adjoining the city building in
Poinciana. Work is to begin this week in completing
the cleaning up of Peary Court.
AS to supervised fairgrounds this play
ground area completed it will have supervisor from
to pm every afternoon except Sunday. There will
also be a supervisor at Community Playground at
Elizabeth and Fleming and one in Poinciana The City
Commissioners and City Manager have cooperated
wonderfully in the present budget and in the next two
months will have more supervised playground areas
than Key West has ever had
Sorry Bill had to come back at you but YOU

Floor Fight
May Ensue In
Church Vote
BY WILLIAM J. CONWAY

EVANSTON, III. IN The
possibility of q floor fight over the
election of the six presidents Of the
World Council of Churches took
shape today.
1t cropped up in the wake Of q
surprise move at the councils ses-
sion last night.
DR.. j. Earl Moreland, chairman
of the nominating committee, was
ready to submit a slate Of six high
ranking clergymen for election.
Then the delegates were informed
that requests had been received
to place q layman on the slate.
DR.. Martin Niemoller, famed
German Protestant leader, offered
3 motion to postpone the election
Tor "A hours = until tonight. Il
was approved 15S to 1l6.
DR.. Franklin Clark Fry, presi-
dent of the United Lutheran
Church in America, who was pre-
siding at the time, said the effect
OF the motion was to request the
nominating committee to consider
placing q layman on the LIST of
candidates for president.
DR.. Moreland called q meeting
of the committee for today.
There was no early indication
whether the committee would stick
to its six-man slate and risk q
fight among delegates on the floor
or revise the ticket to include 4
layman.
One alternative would be to sub
nit seven names, including that
OF one layman, and let the dele
gates choose the six winners.
The nominating commit.
tees slate included Bishop Henry
Knox Sheriff. of Greenwich, Conn,
presiding bishop Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United
States; Bishop Sante Uberto Bar.
bieri of Buenos Aires, head of the
Methodist Church in Argentina,
Uruguay and Bolivia; the Very
Rev. John BailIie of the Church
of Scotland, a noted theologian at
the University of Edinburgh; Bish-
op Otto Dibelius of the United
Evangelical Church in Germany:
Archbishop Michael of New York
City, head Of the Greek Orthodox
Church in North and South Ameri-
ca; and Mar Thoma Juhanon,
metropolitan of the Mar Thoma
Church Of South India.

I'm not a moralist and I'm not
trying to take away the kids fun,
but l hold that the comic books
/ have seen contribute nothing to
our society. Further, say that
they are big influence in leading
our kids astray.
All this discussion came about
when we sat in on = juvenile coun-
Gil meeting the other night and the
subject Of comic books arose.
One member pointed out that in
Tallahassee they are having q
drive against comic books which is
showing real results. Petitions are
