ouARrERsAcKs EXPLAIN

Editor, The CltlZen
Please allow the Quarterback
Club space in your valuable paper
to state why objection was raised
to permission being granted by the
City Commission for a Rodeo to
play at Wicker's Stadium.
Neither myself, or the Quarter
back club as an organization, has
voiced any objection to a Rodeo
playing in this City.
I have and so has the Quarter
back Club as an organization pro-
tested to a Rodeo being staged IN
Wicker's Stadium.
The taxpayers money and con-
TibutionS from Key West Citizens
went into the Stadium with the
only thoughts in mind, of providing
a place for athletic events and a
recreation site where our citizens
may enjoy clean, wholesome ath-
letlc events.
Some several years ago, over the
protests of Citizens, Rodeo was
staged in Wieker's Stadium. The
owners of that Rodeo likewise as
sured City officials that there
would be no damage TO the Sta
dunn.
To the contrary. however, so
much damage was done that the
individual, who was mainly re-
sponSible for that Rodeo, was a

IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST AnvocATEl
BY THE CITIZEN


One of the most heartenng things to those who
know the progress made by the u S. military services
is the rapid growth of power in the Air Force Army
and Navy. Just short while ago-tte two years
the country practically a weakling.
Recent testimony before the Armed Services COM
mees of the Senate and House proves the
program this country embarked upon at the outbreak of
the Korean War has changed that situation. Men,
bers of these committees while wanting to be quoted
express keen appreciation of the fact that the ratio of
power between this country and Russia has changed
advantageously.
They are also pleased with the progress this country
is making in the field of secret and ultra-modern
pons There is longer feeling that Russian numeri-
cal superiority in the air is almost overwhelming In
stead there is confidence that the United States Air
Force is capable of licking any opposite force of
its kind in the world
Whether this is too optimistic or not we cannot
Judge but it is true that several members of the
mittees affected believe that the United States has
passed the hump in the program. That is
they feel that the country can take care of itself
in whatever circumstances occur. And that very
comfortable feeling compared to that which prevailed in
this country in November 1950--when the Chinese en-
tered the against us in Korea.
This balancing of the military power scales en-
hances peace prospects greatly and may explain the
slightly sofened Communist attitude of the past nine
months.

deliveries" were written with my
tongue in my cheek because most
of the time, these parked delivery
trucks seem to be congregated
around coffee shops.
If the City Commissioners con-
tinue to pass new ordinances and
don't take time out to repeal a
few of the old ones, our City Code
lis going to resemble the Congress
Sional Record. Granted that most
of the ordinances were originally
passed with the good intention of
improving Key West, a lack of a
proper means, Cor willingness), OF
enforcing them has effectively de-
Stroyed their power.
They Roll BY Night :
Unless you're a night owl, you've
probably never seen them but
every once in awhiie-about three
or four o'clock in the morning
certain dump trucks can be seen
headed toward the beach. Quite
often they run without lights. And
alwayS-they return before day
breaks but instead of being empty
as they were when they went out,
now they are loaded with sand.
! guess the owner of the dump
trucks buyR this sand. Far be il
from me to suggest otherwise
This Rock" is only mentioning
the early morning trips because i,
just goes to prove that we still
have ambitious men on the island
who are willing to sacrifice Q
nights sleep in order to build VI
profitable business.
However, since the island has
such little bit Of sand, it NIGH
be worthwhile for officials to find
Iout who is selling it at three
O'clock in the morning. VINO knows?
We might need some for the Gty'i
backgrounds someday!

What is Lat gilded baby whale

My theory is that q wife had
better forget all about goldfish
watching, buy her husband bowl
ing ball, and get him to join the
nearest bowling league.
Bowling has a number Of ad-
vantageS over goldfish watching as
. way Of calming down husbands.
It is also cheaper and safer than
either hunting or fishing. Few men
ever drown on a bowling alley or
are shot to death accidentally by
someone who mistook them for a
deer.
The best thing about bowling Is
that it gets q husband out of the
house one night a week, and en-.
ables him to satisfy a mans nor
NAL desire to destroy things. They
show him a shining alley with ten
bright wooden pins In perfect pat.

For the rest of the evening he

boy who is given fistful Of rocks

He comes home tired, but cheerful
and relaxed. It has been just the

But what about the wife7 What
should she do while her husband
lis out renewing his youth in a
bowling alley? After all, you can't
expect her just to sit at home and
do nothing, can you?
No, indeed. Many wives have
turned to goldfish watching. They
now watch the goldfish they once
bought their husband before he
found it was more fun to 60 bowl

Some goldfish find II makes them

The drug is atropine, until now

The firm has supplied $50 pounds

ment stockpiles. A life-saving dose
is only 1-1s0th Of q grain Of afro.

OF atropine is enough to treat more
than one million persons. The drus
can be stockpIed, in ampulei
ready for injection, at strategic
locations for military or civilian
use.
Atropine is obtained naturally
from atropa belladonna and daturs
