these recommendations.

Shown in Technicolor is this
true adventure story of Armand

Michaela, as they brave danger
with a camera instead of guns
on an 1S-month long safari into
seldom visited places.
Remarkable color photography
captures the brilliance of what
is mistakenly called 'the dark

are climaxed by a gorilla hunt,
in which the explorers join with
a band Of fierce jungle warriors
in what is actually a form Of war
fare declared by the natives on
the gigantic apes.

Miami Rape Case
The rape and murder case in
Miami startled everyone. 1t seems
almost impossible to believe that
creatures in the form of human
beings exist and are capable of
such crimes. Yet the only unusual
part about Miami case is that il
was close to home.
What can we do to prevent such
a horrible thing from happening
here in Key West?
Well-there are several things
We can start giving our police
men a little more backing when
they arrest known SEXUAL perverts.
Under present conditions the pub
lie pities this type of offender
until he has committed murder.
One of the books which "This
Rock" donated to the illfated
Police Library was a text on "The
Sexual Criminal. The book was
written by an authority in the
field. An odd fact which seems
to run true throughout the case
histories presented in the book is
the fact that sexual criminals are
usually of the "pretty-boy" type
and look like anything but killers

at the idea of police officers at.

by studying such textbooks. II

committed in Miami last week,

proud of its success in dealing with
the local variety of powder puff
boys and similar perverts. As q
