The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1954-06-09
By Bill Glib

xhefe seems to be q general mis-
understanding as to the Key West
Safety Council, its detectives and
operation. Let's see II we can't
straighten this matter out.
First, the Key West Safety Coun-
Gil is an Independent, non-commer-
cial, non-political. non-profit or
ganization. It's activities are con-
fined to Monroe County and it
meets at City Hall in the commits
sion chambers because the county
commission meeting room was re-
fused US. treason quoted The
public might dirty the place up.")
Since the Council Is q non-pro-
fit organization composed mostly
of men and women who want to
save lives, every penny that is col
lected goes toward work which Is
considered more important than
paying rent for q nice hall. The
group has no political connection
whatsoever with the City.
Second, the objects Of the Coun-
ell are to aid the citizens and pub
lie authorities in the prevention Of
accidents on the streets, highways
and other public places; in COM
mercial and industrial establish
ments; in and about schools and
homes, and wherever accidents &C.
cur.
Third, membership in the Key
West Safety Council is open to
ANY citizen interested in the prin-
ciples of the organization. That
means YOU If you're like most Of
us and don't relish the idea Of los
ing an arm, an eye, . leg = or
even your life - in q preventable
accident.
Four, finances for the operation
of this organization shall be raised
by voluntary contribution.
The fifth and final point to be
brought out today Is that as q SER
vice to members, the Council
seeks to ascertain the number and
cause Of accidents and how they
can be prevented; to promote an
energetic educational campaign in
the schools and with the general
public which will bring these facts
to the attention Of the public and
result in remedial practices; to CO.
ordinate all safety efforts made or
being made in Monroe County; to
work with public authorities for
proper legislation, enforcement,
and proper street facilities.

To date the heaviest work of the
Council has fallen on few loyal
members. You might be alive to-
day because of these peoples work

Council has to be measured by the

passage of time and compilation Of

The Council hasn't received the

think that this is partly caused
by the fact that each civic group
is afraid that they might have to
share the publicity Of their pet pro-
jects. That's foolish. Rather, the
Council viii help promote publ

BISMARCK AND JEzIBEL RENEW
DASCHUND POPUL ARITY HERE
By JuEL REED COVER

Dachshunds, the clowns of dog
dom, are reaching new high in
popularity in Port Clinton.
The long-bodied, sleek-haired
little dogs with their friendly eyes
and their amusing antics are rap
idly becoming a favorite breed
among local pet lovers. You can
see more ''wienerscElnitzels'
around town now than ever before
Fairly recent new additions to
the local dachshund set are Bis
marck and Jezibel, two German
born pedigreed pets that are learn
ing the American way of life at
Erie Proving Ground.
They are owned by Captain and
Mrs. Thomas E. Wright, who came
to the post six months ago. Bis
marck about eight years old, holds
lineage of a championship strain
from far back. The Wrights ac-
Quired him in Germany on their
first tour of duty there, and Jezi-
bel was added to the household
during their last stay in Germany.
But the American vet at Bre-
merhaven told the Wrights' that
the American Kennel Club does
not recognize German papers, be-
cause of the many counterfeit
pedigrees floating around immedi-
ately after the war. And so the
six beautiful little dachshunds
that Bismarck and Jezibel proudly
produced eight weeks ago can't
be registered.
Registered or not, their lively
little pups found quick takers.
One went to Pennsylvania, one to
Bowling Green, two are in Port
Clinton and one in Oak Harbor.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Centofanti,
Viola street, have one, and anoth-
er "Tena", is a happy addition to
the West Third street household
of the Stanley Hallicks and Mrs.
Mary Kelly. Marion Kreivck in
Oak Harbor has the fifth. The
Wrights' kept one male.
Dachshund owners say that two
big advantages of their favorites
are that the dogs have no odor
and don't shed.
:, They are amusing land they
are fisn. But, says Mrs. Wright
from long experience, dachshunds
are 'brick-headed." They have
will of their own. If you don't as
sert yourself at the start, you'll
find your dachshund taking over
bed and board completely
And with such appealing pets,
who can say no?

Hand Made Crystals
Spell Better Living

CLEARER

A CLEARER picture ON
IA your television set, an
improved gun sight, a better
hearing aid all may come
from the scientific gardening
being done at the Naval Re-
search Laboratory.
Chemists there are growing
crystals. In their workshops
near Fourth and Chesapeake
streets S.W., they are seeing
why crystals form in the
strange geometric shapes
they often do. They also are
trying to improve on natures
growth.
Why all this concern with
crystals?
The color of paint, the
power Of many explosives, the
strength Of materials all de-
pend on their crystalline
properties. Out of crystal re-
search have come discoveries
which mean much to our
daily living and to the defense
of our country.
Apparatus for locating sub
marines, instruments for see
ing at night, gun sights, de-
vices to test atomic radiation
are dependent on crystals. I'm
provements in telephones,
equipment for testing gaso-
line quality, fiuorescent
lights, jewels for watches,
light meters used in photog-
raphy, television picture tubes
are only a few of the civilian
necessities and niceties made
possible through crystal re-
search.
Crystals are formed in sew

eral different ways. In every
day terms, they may be
frozen, cooled, melted, heated,
or frosted.
Some materials can be
crystalized by dissolving them
in liquid, heating the mixture
and then cooling it. Others
cannot be dissolved until the
temperature is raised to be-
tween 500 and 1000 degrees.
Other crystals can be pro-
duced by cooling melted ma
terial in much the same
manner as ice cubes are
made. Finally, some crystals
can be obtained from material
which neither melts nor dis
solves only by vaporizing it
as frost forms ON a window.
What makes crystals per-
form their valuable work is
the orderly arrangement of
their atomic structure.
Gases, liquids and many
solids are composed of atoms
and molecules jumbled TO-
gether. Crystals, however,
are arranged as orderly lay
ers of atoms and molecules
in different symmetrical pat
terms. Thus light, electricity,
heat and other forms of
energy can pass through
crystals in some directions
more easily than in others.
The idiosyncracies of cry
stalls are utilized for both
civilian and military uses.
Some crystals conduct elec-
tricity better when hight
shines on them. Using this
principle, scientists developed
