 The Rt Rev. Everett H. Jones, Bishop of Diocese of West Texas, gave the baccalaureate address. He will be guest of honor and leader of the annual clergy con- ference of the Episcopal Mission ary District of Alaska which is being held now in Fairbanks.
 Following this a reception was held in the lovely new home of President and Mrs. Ernest N. Pat ty honoring the 35 graduates. At tending were members of the uni versity's Board of Regents and others interested in the develop ment of the university and AL aska.
 Monday morning the 32nd an- nual commencement was held. Dr. Patty was formally inaugurated as president of the University of Alaska. Both he and Col. Bernt Balchen of the US. Air Force were presented with honorary doctor of science degrees.
 The first graduate, John Shan ley, Class of 1923, was presented by Dr. Charles E. Bunnell, presi- dent emeritus.
 Mrs. Nerland says she feels proud that Alaska has such a university fully accredited, and would like to see more of our young people attending there"

John Joy Bell
Like the man in the verse, q lot
of Key Westers are fascinated with
ships - the "City of Key West"
in particular. They've been visit
ing the dock on Duval St. daily
and when the ship finally arrived
here yesterday, there were quite a
few Key Westers on hand for the
occasion. When the trim ship final
ly poked its bow around the point
at Fort Taylor, the news spread
like wildfire.
Open house was not scheduled to
be held until this afternoon but as
soon as the ship had been tied up.
they went aboard to conduct a per-
sonal inspection.
And they liked what they saw.

WHERE CAN SHE FISH,

Editor, The Citizen: .s-~. .~.
Here am again after more information.
Can anyone tell me where there is a good place to
fish? Where can really catch some edible ones?
Last year my husband and fished the boulevard
but now it is all filled in and Howard Johnsons restaur-
ant stands on our favorite fishing spot.
We also went out in charter boat but until INV
husband arrives in Key West wouldn't care to 20 out
alone.
In closing want to ask if you folks realize you have
one of the incest dog tracks in the U. S. A?
It's not large many but the location Is simply
marvellous. That wonderful breeze won't get in
the inland states where have been.
You see, aren't speaking from hearsay. We have
five thoroughbred greyhounds and we take them many
places In opinion Key West has the oveiest track
You also have the best year-round climate of any
state we've lived in.
That is why I'm here this season ahead of my hus-
band. It's my job to locate permanent residence
Last but not least must give your friendly paper

Formerly, the approach has been
for weather experts to look at the
atmospheric conditions over the
United States and then to pick
out those areas which were ripe
for tornadoes. The best warning
that could be given was an area
warning.
But if the jump line theory works

ALL HAIL TO THE GETTY OF KEY WEST"
ON ITS MAIDEN TRIP TO cUBA1

Key Westers have sound reason for being iubilant
the operation Of the ferry City of Kew West" be-
tween here and Cardenas Cuba Ten wears ago the
dent of the GulfAtantic Transportation Company said
that he expected to have ferry running between Key
West and Havana by the following June That June came
and also other Junes but the promised ferry didn't
come here from Jacksonville to begin operations.
And now along comes the Caribbean Ferry System
and without making any hopebuildng promises starts
to run ferry between here and Cardenas That's why
have sound to celebrate fed up on promises
that maeriazed and then presto we have ferry
that ypfies action by the Caribbean Ferry System not
promises.
Let's whoop it up in making the ferry fiesta a sue
cess And let's commend and congratulate Bob Reynolds
president of the Caribbean Ferry System and his
ciaes for their good old American way of giving much
action and few words. For decade after decade Key
West was connected by with Havana. The two out
standing steamships that made that connection were the
"Mascotte" and "Olvet" names that bring fond men,
ores to oldtme Key Westers. Later on the governor
Cobb and the "Florida" took in the run between
Key West and Tampa and Key West and Havana.
The *Cty of Key West" has an added advantage over
the other steamships that connected this city by with
the Cuban capital She will carry automobiles as we'll as
passengers and The Citizen predicts the
Ing feature eventually will meet nationwide popularity
Travelling by automobile exceeds by many millions
any other way of going from place place. and the more
places to go to the better pleased are drivers generally
But other place to affords the gamor of going to
sea in automobile and then resume its operation in
foreign country.
The operation of the "City of Key West means much
to us economically 1t will be the also of closer re-
latonship with Cuba which has played major role for
more than century in the development of Key West

BY DON WHITEHEAD

WASHINGTON R-There is rea-
son to hope that the us. Weather
bureau is on the track of a new
forecasting method which will strip
tornadoes of their death. dealing
element of surprise.
Last year alone more than $50
of the vicious twisters roared out
of the skies in sudden, smashing
assaults on farms, towns and cit
les. Most of them were in the mid
west and southwest.
Unlike the long-lived hurricanes,
which move slowly out of the Gulf
and the Caribbean as spoilers keep
close watch, tornadoes oftentimes
appear with no warning at all to
slash a path Of destruction and
disappear as quickly as they come.
Sudden local storms are the wea-
ther forecaster's nightmare, but
scientists are clawing into the Sc
crets of why these storms happen
when and where they do.
The answer, or apart of it, may
be in what has become known as
a pressure jump line" or "squall
fne," which advances before a
cold front smashing into a warm,
moist mass of air.
Meteorologists for some time
have known that when the cold and
warm fronts meet-and certain
other conditions exist-there is the
likelihood of tornadoes over a wide
area of the country.
Weather experts have found the
pressure jump line travels like a
wave before cold front. 1t may
be as much as $50 miles wide.
Experts have traced this atmo-
spheric pressure wave by means
OF instruments known as microbar-
ographs, which show that as the
jump line arrives there is sudden
increase in air pressure which vio-
lently disturbs the atmosphere.
Dr.. Morris Topper, 39-year-old
weather expert in US. Weather
Bureau, has taken jump line rec
ords and related them to midwest
tornadoes.
His preliminary studies show 70
to Is per cent of the reported tor
nadoes followed the path of a jump
line.
A special research network,
manned mostly by volunteers, al
ready is in operation over an area
covering Kansas, Nebraska, east
Colorado, northwest New Mexico,
the Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma
and edges of Iowa, Missouri and
Arkansas.
This region is known to meteor
ologists as "the area of maximum
tornadoes." Now it is dotted with
instruments for recording jump
line pressures and other data
needed for a concentrated study
of the problem.
Making a study of 1851 weather
in this test area, Topper and his
colleagues plotted $40 severe To-
cal storms and found:
TBS fell inside the swath of the
jump line.
76 fell outside the swath.
80 couldn't be related to the
jump line.
The Topper group then took
act beginning times. In this case,
81 per cent fell inside the jump
line and Sc per cent occurred with.
in one hour after the passage OF
the pressure wave.
This study, Topper is convinced,
shows the relationship of the jump
line and the storms to be more
than accidental. Since the jump
lines sweep across the land can
be plotted almost to the minute,
lit may be that towns and cities
can be warned in advance pre-.
cisely when to expect a tornado.
The weather bureau has been 50
impressed by the preliminary work
