that morale Is up 100 per cent IN
the Police Dept. and much of the
undercover corruptness within our
town has been exposed to where Il
can be handled.
In many ways, Chief Kemp was
"a fine man. Quite often, be tried
Ito help me. However, there is no
use denying that the Police Dept,
was becoming stagnated in the op.
!inion Of quite q few Of its mem
|bers. Some Of the finest younf
men in Key West are on the Force
and they deserve the right to in

commends former Chief Kemp fol
his 80 years service TO the City d
Key West and it also feels that
he made a wise move by stepping
aside, at the present time.
Day and Night
Probably only the police realize
the difference between day and
night In Key West. Between mid.
night and dawn, there are charac.
tiers walking the street who couldn't
be found for love or money during
the day. These are the guys that
law enforcement officers learn to
watch.
Lately, however, there has been
a slight change in the picture. I'm
desirables from Tampa may be
seen stroliing around at any hour
of the day. It Is an unhealthy sign
because Tampa controls the crime
syndicates Of the South. Key West,
experiencing its wealthiest boom,
is going to have to be on It's toes
to prevent an invasion Of these out
side mobsters.
In Closing
Before putting a 30 to this first
column, may explain to new
readers the meaning Of its title?
"This Rock" means This Is.
land" There Is no implication Of
having q secret weapon which we
are going to throw at someone.
Key West has often been called
"The Old Rock" and that h how
the heading originated, ''This Rock
of Ours"
It's good to be back with you
folks. Until tomorrow.

MANILA - up - The Filipino
tenant farmer has been handed
what proponents call the most pro-
gressive land reform to be passed
anywhere in Asia to meet the age
old hunger for land. The new law
grants increased management
'rights to tenants and a better se-
curity of tenure. A tenant now can
be evicted only by court actior.
All doubts are to be resolved in
favor Of the tenant.
Land tenure reform supplements
the land for the Iandless program.
