did fine job of rounding up
donors for the Red Cross Blood
mobile when it was stationed at
Glen Haven School last Friday.
A total of 152 persons went to
give blood for the Blood Bank
% of whom were refused per-
mission to donate.
The local Lions Club set a
goal of 128 pints this year, and
actually had 81 to the Clubs
credit by the end of the day
a considerable increase over the
70 pints to the Clubs credit last
year. Mr.. r. E. Staley, chairman
of the Lions part of the drive,
and Mr.. w. T. Robey were on
hand to thank donors for their
contributions.
You and your neighbors donate
blood so that you and your neigh
bors will have a supply on hand
for free use-so far as the blood
itself is concerned in participat-
ing hospitals when you need it.
The only charge in such hospitals
is the charge for administration
of the plasma, which is nominal.
The Red Cross is the collection
and distribution agency only-it
gains no profit-and as matter
of fact, pays 81 per bottle for
the processing of blood.
And don't fret-they won't
take your blood unless you can
spare it, as your columnist found
out to her disgruntlement. You
are questioned as to past health
history. Blood from the finger is
tested-and, in this case "Hemo-
globin low" disqualified the
would-be donor. A little debating
to say the least-but comforting
to know that care is taken not
to Rob Peter to pay Paul"
Think all of this over next
time the Bloodmobile comes
around. Donating blood helps the
ego-and helps the people who
need it.

Speaking of Urbana Drive

back to the small-town days
when the band played from the
stand in the city park, and ev'

Every so often Urbana Drive-ites

Did you know that for as lit

That's what consumer co-ops are:
Businesses owned by the consum-

you need not be a shareholder in
order to shop coop, anyone may
shop there, but it is satisfying
to own part of the business and
have your say in the operating
of it's affairs.
In order to understand co-ops
a little better, here are the basic
cooperative principles: Open

as a foster home, the state pays
certain set sums for each child the
family takes in.
Scale Of Payment
Here is the scale the state has
set:
$11.5O per week for a boy or girl
up to 10 years of age.
$12 per week for girls over 10
years of age.
$12 per week for boys from 10
to Is years of age.
$3.50 per week for boys from
Ii to IS.
Why the additional 50-cents per
week for boys from Is to IS?
WELL" johnson grinned, 81
guess it's to take care of little
things around the house a boy
might scuff up where a girl
wouldn't"
But don't think you can just pick
up the telephone, call johnson and
say:
''Hey, Johnson, want to run a
foster home"
1t isn't that easy.
The man and his wife who want
to take in children in need of foS-
ter care are given a thorough
check. The house itself is checked
- even to the sanitary facilities
by the County Health Department.
81 don't care if the man is a
ditch digger or a millionaire"
Johnson said, "as long as it is a
healthy, happy home and the man
and his wife really want children. 4"
Foster homes do not take chill

City MayFace
New Lawsuit

The city faces the possibility of
another lawsuit if they invoke a
penalty provision against one of
the contractors for the city'S sew
er project.
That information was given the
city commission last night in the
form of a letter from the officials
of the Powell Brothers Construction
Co., of Fl. Lauderdale.
The city warned them last week
that they are subject to a $3.50 per
day penalty for failure to complete
thair phase of the sewer project
on schedule.
Engineers Recommendation
Jack Cooper, of Clifford
Cooper Associates, the city's con-
sulting engineers, recommended
that Powell Brothers be penalized
but said that the Reinertson Con-
struction Co. should be given an
extension because Powell Brothers
had held them up on their phase of
the project.
But last night, in their letter,
Powell Brothers tossed the blame
right back to the city for their
failure to keep on schedule. They
also said that delays in the de-
livery of material from the manu-
facturer is also responsible in
large measure.
They claimed that the city de-
layed them by arbitrarily pro-
hibiting the use of dynamite in ex-
cavating' and by requesting that

Rental Agreement

Quick action by the city in pass
ing a resolution recommending the
sale of 368 units in the Poinciana
housing project to the owners of
the land on which they were built
was urged last night by City Com
missioner Delio Cobo.
Cobo pointed out that the owners,
the Key West Foundation Co., may
go over the city's head and nego-
tate for the Lanham Act housing
directly with the federal govern
ment unless the city moves quick
ly.
Earlier, the city arrived at an
agreement with the Key West
Realty Company in which they
passed resolution recommending
the sale of 319 units to the Key
West Realty Co. The buyers agreed
to keep the rents at the same low
level as at the present and to give
the city 212 acres of land for park
purposes.
Negotiations Asked
Last night, Commissioner Cobo
said that in view of the fact that
they passed a resolution for one
company, they can't discriminate
against another by not recommend
ing that they be allowed to pur-
chase the housing.
He suggested that the city nego-

Key West is finally getting some
action on juvenile delinquency and
children's problems.
1t has been Ill days since James
L. Johnson, a trained and exper-
fenced child welfare worker, took
over the state welfare office here.
An evaluation of his work today
showed these accomplishments:
1. Twice as many state-approved
foster homes as when he arrived
here April 1.
2. Less children being tossed into
the county jail to await juvenile
court action. j.,
3. A better understanding and
better handling Of juvenile delln'
uuency and domestic problems.

here.
His salary is paid by the Fed
eral government through the State
Department of Welfare.
More Homes Needed
But although johnson has doub-
led the number of state-okayed fos-
ter homes, he still needs and wants
more such homes.
When he arrived, there were
three foster homes.
Two Of those three closed when
the families moved from Key West.
However, he found other homes

City Is Offered
Parking Lot Lease

A lease on a parking area on Ba-
hama Street to ease the thorny
downtown traffic situation was Of
fered the city commission last
night.
The offer was made by Mrs.
Ruth Harden who said that she
would rent the land to the city for
SITS per month. Only stipulations
she asked is that the city pay the
taxes and return the land to her
in the same condition it is in now
when they no longer need it.
City Commission Louis Carbonell
moved that the city manager be
instructed to meet with Mrs. Har-
den to discuss the proposal.
Meanwhile, the city is still me-
gotiating for land on SimontQn and
Duval Streets for parking areas.
The city was urged to obtain the
parking areas by both the Cham
Der of Commerce and the city traf-
file committee.

Emergency
Minimum Size
Of Backwards
Here Reduced

The city commission passed an
emergency ordinance last night al.
lowing a reduction in the size of
the backyards of motels and apart
ment houses in Residence areas
zoned CAB"
But the measure was not passed
until both the planning commission
and Miami architects came in for
criticism.
Planning Commissioner Cecil
Carbonell appeared before the
commission asking the passage of
the ordinance saying that a pro-
vision in the zoning code which
states that motels in CAB" areas
must have back yards at least 20
feet deep, Is holding up consider
able construction in Key West.
He suggested that an ordinance
be passed allowing the minimum
size of back yards be set at 10
feet.
Discussion Held
He pointed out that the Planning
Commission has not been able to
consider the problem since they
have not had a quorum at their
last three meetings,
Which prompted Mayor c. B.
Harvey to comment: "rd like to
know who they are so that we can
replace them"
Commissioner Louis Carbonell
then moved that the coming ordin-
ance be accepted and Commission
er Cobo seconded the motion.
The vote was unanimous although
Mayor Harvey said that "he was
going to vote for it although he
did not believe in il"
ut behooves these Miami archi-
tects to come down here and check
our laws before they draw their
plans" said Mayor Harvey.
The ordinance, passed as an
emergency measure, becomes law
without the necessity of second
reading.
Three proposed projects were af-
fected. They include a motel on
Simonton Street, another motel at
Duval and South Streets and sew.
eral apartment units at South and
william Streets.

Man Wanted For
Mail Fraud Is
Picked Up Here

Edward Earl Tierney. So, who
was arrested here, today was in
the custody of the US. Marshal
in Miami on a charge of mail
fraud.
The marShal's office phoned the
Gheriff's office here yesterday af-
ternoon and requested that Tier
ney, who was stopping at the La
Concha Hotel, be picked up.
A few minutes later, Tierney
was in the county Jail. Deputies
from the marshars office return
I'd Tierney TO Miami last night.
The complaint charges Tierney
with devising a scheme to de-
fraud advertisers in the Union
Record of Florida.
The marshal's office said Tier
ney billed businessmen for ad-
writing which never appeared
in print.
K. H. Kiplinger, owner of the
Saltair Motel, 1880 Simonton, said
he had received a bill for $40
from the Union Record for an ad
which he never had ordered.
He said Tierney telephoned him
yesterday and asked for another

Kiplinger said he told Tierney
about receiving bill for an adj
Vertisement he had never or
dered.
Tierney explained. according to
Kiplinger, that he had had trou-
BILE with his stenographer and
that the bill was sent by mistake.

A four-man committee was ap-
pointed last night by Mayor c. B.
Harvey to investigate the possi-
bility of the construction of a NUM-
cipal swimming pool.
The Mayor took that action after
delegations from the Key West
Business and Professional Wom-
ems Club and the Lions Club ap-
peared at last nights commission
session asking that the city include
funds in the budget this year for
construction of the pool.
The proposal brought hearty sup
port from the commission but the
question of the possible location of
the pool is still undetermined.
Commissioner Jack Delaney said
that the proposed location - near
the site of the old WPA built pool
on Roosevelt Boulevard - might
not be feasible.
Not Sanitary
William Braatz, Monroe County
sanitarian, appeared at the meet
ing saying that from a health an
gle, the boulevard location "iS not

are many septic tanks in the area
and that there is not proper cir
culation of water there.
