given him 4 reputation of being
one of the top boy wonders of in

While some rug manufacturers
were using their product to deaden
the sound of their own falling tears,
Gene has built his carpeting firm
to 4 point where it is now the
fifth largest in the world.

I've searched in vain for some
news item concerning the forward
advances being made by the Key
Fire Department. Guess I'll have
to write it myself.
Arthur Curry has been employed
as Inspector with the KWFD. You
can see him on the streets every
day checking buildings and fire exc
tinguiShers. Chief Cremata is to be
complimented for initiating this
program.
Fire can be a terrible tragedy
- to businesses as well as homes.
And the time to prevent q fire 10
before one occurs! Inspector Curry
has a lot of responsibility in his
new job. He can help all Of us to
lower our insurance rates by doing
his work properly.
Curry spent several years doing
similar inspection work with the
u. S. Navy. He is thoroughly qua
lifted - is conscientious and will
ing.
All of our firefighters deserve
praise. Past performance has pro-
ven that they are a select group
whose main duty in life is to help
others. Just recently, the KWFD
joined the Key West Safety Coun-
Gil almost to the man.
One thing has occurred which I
do not think is fair - the assign
ment of firefighters to make auto
mobile inspections. The men will
tell you that they are not mechari-
les - that they're not qualified to
make these inspections. I agree
with them.
But let's not get off on automo-
bile inspection today - it is =
headache! The merits of the pro-
gram far outweigh any bad points,
however, and time alone will work
out the present undesirable featur-
es of the inspection.
During the next few weeks while
you are having your car checked,
be sure and think about your tires.
Good rubber is essential to safe
driving. Visit Dicks Tire Service
and let experienced tire men give
your tires a free inspection.
Dicks is headquarters for U. S.
Royal tires and Lodi recaps. The
new U. S. Royal "S" is tops in
the tire field. Ask us about it. And
remember, our recapping is done
with steam. New tires as well as

we win soon be spared from the
think pieces" being prepared by
newspaper and radio writer's.
A few weeks ago it was the In
dol Chinese situation. Now it is For
mosa.
Almost daily we are exposed to
an analysis of the worlds military
situation written by some military
pundit who has never been closer
to the world military situation than
his armchair.
Reason for this particular piece
is a story we read in a certain
"big-city" newspaper yesterday.
It was supposed to give US the
inside dope on the volatile For
mesan situation.
It was written by 4 friend of
ours, who we happen to know, has
no more knowledge Of the situa-
ito than we do and that isn't
much.
The military experts" have a
4 style all their own.
There are several expressions on
which they lean rather heavily in
their writings.
Here they are, in part: The con-
junction "n," the prepositional
phrase "on the other hand" the
adverbs however and posi-
bly," The phrase, informed sour-
ces" and the verb doomed" also
pop up quite often in their writ

Q-Recently l read where a
member of the Marine Laboratory
used a "Shrimplupe" on an ex-
ploratory trip looking for new
shrimp beds. Can you tell me how
the Shrimplupe differs from the
"Fishlupe" and Fathometer?
James Day, Miami.
A.-The "Shrimplupe" is a shall
low water modification of the
German "Fishlupe" and is used
in depths up to 10 fathoms. The
shrimplupe differs from the depth
recorder in that a small part Of
the water column can he focused
on, giving more detail of this
section, and emitting the water
above and below. The signal is
in the form of light on a cathode
ray tube.
Thus, the shrimplupe does not
give any permanent record OF its
findings as do most modern depth
recorders. When the shrimplupe is
in operation a one-sixteenth inch
beam of light travels vertically
down the face of the slope. AS
the sound impulse strikes the bot
tom of the ocean the ray fans out
horizontally on the screen, giving
characteristic picture of the
bottom.
Typically the picture of the i'm
pulse is wide and thick in soft
muddy bottoms; in hard bottoms
the picture is narrow and some
what arrowhead shaped. The a.

THE "PoGo STICK" FLIES

The Navy surprised number of air observers re-
Gently when staged successful flight of the XFY1
The XFY1 is revoluonarytype aircraft which lands
and takes off in vertical position.
Although the Navy made the first successful flight
of the "Pogo Stick" in huge hangar in California
Gently the demonstration does prove that the newtype
aircraft is feasible and that will probably become
accepted design in the aeronautical world.
The major possibility in this field that aircraft
of this type will be speeded up with either jet rocket
thruss while maintaining its very useful capabily to
take off and land vertically The possession of fleet of
such fighter planes would give this countrys air
tremendous advantages. For instance, fleet of such
fighters could land almost anywhere and would not
quire major installation for operaonal Such air.
craft would also allow carriers to smaller, instead
of larger and enable these floating arfieds to present
a smaller target to enemy bombers
1t is reported that the type aircraft recently success
fully tested by the Navy attain speeds of five hundred
miles hour, better. If plane of this type can be
produced which will achieve speeds comparable to those
achieved by the F86, and other modern fighters it is
likely that will become one of the major types of opera
tional fighters.
