for any airline to operate intra
state. If CAB chose to take this
attitude it could only mean that
this government agency, like many
others, created for the benefit and
protection of the public, use their
power not in the interest of the
public but for the protection Of
big business which reaches out
and exerts so much influence thai
its true purpose is lost.
AS stated to you by Mr., Baker,
National Airlines primary objec'
tive at the present time is to enter
Boca Chica Field. Thus it is very
difficult for him to sit down with
the County and reach a satisfac
tory agreement. We have informed
him that we will meet with him
or his representative at any time
of the day or night.
Again | can assure you that il
would not be in the interest OF
the citizens of Monroe County to
entertain the idea of abandoning
Meacham Field without first Sc
curing another airfield to take its
place. Our air traffic has increas-
ed by leaps and bounds during the
past several years and it is our
aim to further increase it by pro.
viding the airlines with first class
facilities.
Thanking you for your assistance
and interest, remain,
Sincerely yours,
JOE ALLEN
County Commissioner

the present-day aqualung by
using a similar apparatus. based
on chemical publication rather
than on the simple compressed
air of the modern device.
OF course, Jules Verne scooped
both of them by anticipating in
his book both the aqualung and
the Momsen lung fused to escape
from trapped submarines). He
also anticipated the modern sub
marine - came indeed close to
suggesting atomic power as the
motive force. The first atom
powered submarine, whose prog
ress is being watched with such
interest the world over, is named
after Verne's fictional Nautilus"

VERNE was also far ahead of his
day (the 1868 in suggesting
the scientific use of the oceans
resources to feed the world.
John Williamson has made his
permanent home in Nassau, but
he is still sentimental about his
Norfolk years, apparently the
happiest in his life. The fact that
we. too. were originally from Nor
folk established a bond. He is II,
but still eager and youthful in
manner, and he showed us with
great enthusiasm his laboratory
in Nassau. a tumble of charts,
books. Photographic devices. He
is the author of an autobiogra-
ply. 20 Years Under The Sea"
and he still thinks journalistically
as well as scientifically.
Il used to be great friends
with Frank Wing. the Norfolk
writer and humorist. and we
planned to do book together on

you discuss it, please?
A. "Lunatic fringe" describes
those whose advocacy of any
cause is so fanatic as to ap-
proach lunacy. The term was
coined by Theodore Roosevelt. In
1918, in a letter to the late
Henry Cabot Lodge, he declared,
THE various admirable move
! ments in which I have been en-
gagged have always developed
among their members a large
i lunatic fringe" Also, in his Auto

Chiumunk.

Warm April sunshine coaxes
chipmunks to voice their happi-
ness from some perch. Many
have been fooled by the loud
chirpy, "chuck = chuck chuck"
thinking it was a bird. After
spending the winter under
ground, the chipmunk appreci-
ates bright sunshine. Besides,
there are so many enchanting
places to visit. The. young born
during the winter must be edu-
Gated. protected and introduced
to hunting grounds.
No one has ever seen starved
looking chipmunk emerge from
underground quarters: Through
the winter, the chipmunk has
had food stored during the sum-
mer. He may long for a mess Of
green's after the protein diet of
the winter, but his coat will be
thick and glossy. his manner
pert and Saucy.
His choice of residence is in
the open where he can excavate
shallow dugouts with little ef-
fort. Open glades appeal to him,
so do cemeteries. He is too clever
to betray the entrance to his
burrow by leaving a pile of fresh
dirt, as does the prairie dog. He
carries the loose dirt some dis
tance away or pushes it out Of
one of the many exits into the
grass.
The four to six young chip
munks who follow their mother
out into the sunshine are beau
tifully clothed in 'brownish-red
striped coat. He is easily tanned
and soon learns to search your
pockets for nuts and other things
to eat. In spite of abundance
before him, he will hide all food
he can lay paws on.
Chipmunks range from north
ern Georgia and Alabama to
Manitoba and Nova Scotia. The
West is their metropolis. In the
National Parks they have pros
pered greatly. Here many visitors
have become well acquainted
with pan-handling chipmunks.
Ground squirrels, as they are
often called. are unquestionably
the most intelligent creatures
seen in the open. Not over nine
and half inches in length, swift
footed, bright eyed and alert,
they go about their business with
determination and zeal.

The oxford Supplement says
that its origin is unknown, but
quotes a statement in Nation" !"
1915, that "the word is the Jewish
slang term for nickel" H. l..
Mencken (The American Lam
guage) says of this origin:
Nothing resembling jltney is to
be found in any Yiddish word
book that I have access to, and
I recall hearing it used to de-
signate a scent piece long be-
fore there was any considerable
immigration of Eastern Jews.
It began to be used to designate
