"Increasinglv in the United States, at least two years of
higher education seems advisable following high school," says
an article in The Christian Science Monitor. Boys and girls
who in an earlier day would not have gone to college, now
realize that a high schoolidiploma is not enough"
This. of course. is nothing new. AS our population in
creases and the number Of young people who attend college
becomes greater proportonately, higher education becomes
almost essential in a competitive job situation. Bluftton VII
lage officials have recently been advised that the operator of
the new sewage disposal plant should have a college degree or
various equivalents in experience and other studies.
And as the need for college training becomes more and
more essential, children of Blufto1 area families find them
selves in b more Fortunate position than ever in having a col
lege right here at Aom&. ~
For theboy 81 girlwHo ia rather young for college away
from home, the Community college with its more sheltered
environment than, say, a big state university to be attended
later on, is often a happy choice.
Again for those WHIP must earn their way through col
lege, the first years at a community college or private junior
college near home may Save quite a bit, and make all the
difference between college or no college" the Monitor article
continues.
1t might be added that the educational program offered
by the smaller colleges often stands by itself, and not simply
as a crutch to further educational levels, unless a highly
specialized field is to be entered.
LAS long as the average American is free to read what
he pleases, listen to whom he pleases, travel freely, speak his
mind and enjoy access to all sources of entertainment, news
and propaganda he desires, communism will make no signif-
cant gain in the United States" Portsmouth, Neb, Journal.

READERS WITH A SCIENTIFIC
bent who have been intrigued by the
wrist-watch radio of the comic strips
will be interested in Maynard Gel
gers vest pocket radio, only slightly
larger than a package of cigarettes.
The small but powerful radio
receiver can be carried around
by Geiger in his inside coat
pocket, and his ear-phOne, a
small compact ear-plug (war sur
plus from intercOmmunication
leads formerly used in a tank)
provides the audiO for listening.
The tiny set may ALSO be hooked
to a larger speaker and provides
enough volume to be heard in an
average size ROOM
Geiger, who services radio and
television sets asia business, still
finds pleasure in designing and
constructing miniature radios as
a spare time hobby.
Housed jim. an attractive clear
plaStI case, the radio is a three-tube
sdperhetr6dyne shook-up which cov-
ers the regular broadcast f~requencies.
Tubes used in the set are the newest
sub-miniature types, about the size
of the end of a lead pencil.
A printed silver-mica circuit is used,
eliminating cumbersome wiring, and
the little receiverIis powered by one
ultra-small 22h-Folt battery, plus a
one and one-halfsvolt penlite battery.
The power supply takes up about half
of the small case. 1t measures two
and three-fourths by three and one
half inches andsis about q of an inch
thick.

THESE ARE THE DAYS when
anything is likely to happen in Bluff
ton to pry you away, from your dim
es and dollars, and such screwy stunts
as offering silver dollars at a ten
per cent discountf or soaking you
two bucks for a SECULAR one-dollar
haircut can be expected. It's March
Of-Dimes time and you fork it across
with a smile.
The "dollar-for ninety-cents" deal
is open at Rissers Restaurant. You
pay only ninety lcents for a silver
dollar or a greenback, but Dave or
| Harold Balmer keeps on eye on you
while you drop it Into the Test Tube
coin collector in the Restaurant.
Someone asked Dave how he
could afford to sell dollars at dis
count. WELL" said Dave, fits
BECAUSE we're able to do such a
volume of business, we cal sell
'em cheaper than the bank"
At Tuffy Swank's, where dollar
bills annually hang arouna the walls
like a lace curtain, Blufftpnfes are
happily paying 81 for a hairlut-cae
for fluffy and one for the wall. And
when one stopsEto consider the price
of a haircut in Chicago is reported
to be SITS, those are % cents dollars
going to the Polio Fund.

In Roman Film

20. K. Nero" American I. FL
release that opens Sunday at the
Monroe Theatre, was produced by
Niccoli Theodoli who. felt that
the public had wearied of seeing
ancient Rome treated with heavy-
handed solemnity in so many pic
lures and would prefer dancing
girls ami milk-bathing beauties to
roaring lions and pompous pre-
lateS.
The exterior scenes for 20. K.
Nero" were shot in Rome and its
environs, but very few authentic
backgrounds were used. Theodoli
was determined to make an 'un.
realistic" picture, and he chose as
the principal location site not the
Colosseum but the buildings Of the
1912 Exposition which blend ancient
and modern architectural styles in
a fashion designed to horrify STU
dents Of early Roman history.
The interiors Of 20. X. Nero"
were filmed at the Titanus Studios
on the outskirts of Rome and in.
cluded several mammoth sets
representing luxurious sleeping
quarters, meeting rooms and the
Empress bathing chamber, setting
for Poppea's sensational milk.bath
scene.

Praises Public Service

And here is another note:
"The growing interest that en-
ployees of the City's sanitation
department are taking in their
work is a source of satisfaction.
1T is indeed gratifying to note
that garbage trucks are being
handled in a safer manner" says
the letter, land that the employees
on practically all of the trucks
are more willing to cooperate
with the public and are a great
deal more courteous.
"The other day / called the
Sanitation Department and asked
them to pick up a load of limbs
and leaves in front of my house.
1t wasn't long before a truck ar
rived and the men not only picked
up the trash l called them about
but went next door into a vacant
lot and removed scattered debriS.
They then asked my wife to sign
a certificate signifying that the
collection had been made and the
job completed in a satisfactory
manner"
"This Rock of Ours" likes to
hear this kind of news. It means
that we're making progress in
shedding the slothful habits Gre
ated by WPA and other like
jobs.
1t is also nice to know that folks
are following up on the Key West
Safety Councils suggestion to
cleanup their yards as a hurri-
cane season precaution. There
certainly won't be any time to do
it during the few hours before a
storm strikes!

! don't know whether Kofoed has
heard from the American Legion
and the VIEW in his area, but I'd
like to hear the Key West veterans
make noise about the Keefe case.
I'd also like to know which group
OF fat-headed do-gooders okayed
the treaty that turns over Amer
leans to our freeloading allies for
trial.
Now to take up the case of the
two Key West servicemen that the
civilian authorities want but can't
get.
Edward Peter Quick, 2S-year-oid
sailor, was driving a car which
overturned, killing a 24-year-old
woman passenger, according to the
Monroe County Sheriff S office.
In another accident, the sheriff's
office says Ray E. Drake, 20-year-
old sailor, was the driver Of a car
that overturned, killing a 20-year-
old woman.
Civil authorities issued man
slaughter warrants for both sailors.
Did the Navy brass here break
their necks rushing the sailors in
to custody of the civil authorities
as the military in France evidently
did with Pvt. Keefe?
The Navy brass certainly did
not.
The Navy told the sheriff's de-
partment that if the department
wanted the boys, the sheriff or a
depuy would have to sign an agree
ment that at the end Uf the trial
or sentence, the sailors would be
returned to the Navy at no expense
to the government, or tc the per-
son delivered.
A spokesman in the Nays legal
department here said such an ord
er was contained in Section 7o3 of
the Naval Supplement for Courts
Martial, us. 1851.
The section was issued by the
Secretary of the Navy under the
direction of the president as con.
tanned in Executive Order No.
1924.
The sheriff's department says
Attorney General Dick Irwin has
ruled that a sheriff has no author
ity to sign such an agreement.
1 wonder if the military in
France got such a signed agree
ment from TIE French before they
turned Keefe over for trial?
And that's the way things stand
now. The Navy won't surrender
the boys and the sheriff won't sign
the agreement. Stalemate.
But meanwhile, Pvt. Keefe is
doing time in a French jug.
How about it, Sen. Smathers?
Would you pick your phone and
call the Pentagon? Maybe the
brass there can spring Pvt. Keefe.

Sitter Accused
OF Cruel Acts

PROVIDENCE, RI. R-Police
today accused a 2O-year-old baby
sitter of inflicting cigarette burns
on a 2-year-old girl-and then at
tempting to pass the burns off as
a possible case of measles.
Police Sgt. Edward J. Lovett
identified the girl as Gertrude M.
Polseno. She was booked last night
on a charge of assault on Francine
Coates, 2, daughter of Mrs. OAR
lene Coates, last July 8.
Lovett said two witnesses told
police Miss Polseno burned the
child on the arms, legs and body,
allegedly because she did not like
the child's looks. Miss Polseno de-
MED the accusation.

VoTELESS AREAS
Editor, The Citizen:

EQltOr, Inc Nitlzen'
Some of the fellows here in Wash
ington voiced surprise that Sigsbee
Park and Peary Court shared the
same "non-voting" status as the
District of Columbia!
Florida is one of the very few
states denying gSvernment-reser-
walton residents the right 20 vote.
Each state, l am informed, retains
this authority to establish certain
qualifications Of voters" either
locally, state, or federal. So the
state of Florida is entirely within
its rights, technically. The people
of Florida make the laws.
As l have previously stated, how
ever, such a denial violates the
spirit of the Constitution of the
United States. No one denies this.
Is Florida trying to be unique, or
infamous?
l shall say this. Florida is being
laughted at. If comptroller
general wants to make the state
look foolish, he's doing it. What's
more, I've reached the alarming
conclusion these reservation-resi-
dents don't want to vote. Mr.. D.
L. Black, clarifying the Welfare
State in his defense of Sigsbee
Park in his forum letter of June
18th, openly voiced his desire to
forego the privilege Of becoming a
"Key West citizen" to enjoy the
many advantages" of Sigsbee
Park.
What advantages? Of freedom?
Not at Sigsbee Park. Mr.. Black
stated the Navy Wives have the
privilege of calling the Shore
Patrol in times of emergency, or
for arbitration in neighborhood dis
putes. This is no privilege. This
is a limitation, especially when
their neighbors happen to be the
Shore Patrol and his family.
I suspect it is not clearly under
stood the Shore Patrol has no au-
thority except to maintain the
peace when on duty. They cannot
arrest any Navy wife anywhere
at any time. They have absolute
ly no jurisdiction over civilian
residents anywhere except to keep
the peace on military reservations.
Upon their recommendation, a
Federal Commissioner or the FBI
may be called upon the intercede.
This is also the privilege Of the
Navy wives, make no mistake Of
that!
What is SO tragic is the residents
resignation to such biased super
vision. Fighting such apathy ex-
ternally is not only difficult. its
nonsensical, come to think of it.
Why concern ourselves with others
inalienable rights if they voluntari-
ly throw them away?
Even the beguiled puppet does
not concern himself with who pulls
the strings.

This Rock

Moni Gomez, 721 Duval Street,
collects old coinS-gold or silver.
Personally, I do too. The differ
ence between us is that Moni
saves his-the bill collector takes
mine.
But that's getting off the sub
ject-what started out to say is
that Moni has built up quite a
collection of old coins and he is
looking for more. If you have
anything in this line that you
think is valuable, check with him
he might buy it from you.
