At the request of Miss Parker, the plans were read by Rev.

Many of these tree; are grown by Miss Parker at her home and nursery on South street, and also by Mrs. Will Phelan at the Key West Botanica] Gardens, and will be utilized in carrying out the plans as submitted. CAPTION WHEN _ READING ITEMS: THOSE PERUSING OVER ”TEN| YEARS AGO” COLUMN UN- ABLE TO RECALL _INCI- DENTS AT THIS TIME Readers of The Citizen frequent- ly find themselves in a quandary to determine just When an event hap-| ,; pened of which they read but find that no one has ¥aid anything to them about it, and after making} inquiries to this office are inform- ed, to their chagrin, that they had been reading “Key West In Days| Gone By” or en incident of 10 roe once but on numbers of oc- office has been on several occa- sions asked to correct a statement appearing in the issue of the day previous, the caller asserting that} the information contained in the article was entirely incorrect. An- other case of not reading the cap-} tion and finding that the incident | described happened just a decade before. This is not an anusual ence as evidenced by the follow-/ ing: “An advertisement which still had pulling power fifty years aft-| er its original issuance, \¥ s dis- | covered by the Illinois Central R. R. at Freeport, Ill., when the of- fice was besieged by more than 40 men, many with tégms, looking for. work on the Northern Railway’ at $3.50 Work, payable monthly. The re- Sponse was. fact that the Freeport Journal- Standard had published in its perilous flights at all times of the day and night searching for boats that fail to return. Relatives No Help “Sometimes we find them and sometimes we don’t,” said Lieut. Commander R. L. Raney. “How- ever, the relatives usually aren’t much help. They don’t know the name or number of the missing craft and they can’t describe it. “When they do describe boat, they usually say it’s a 30- foot cabin cruiser with white or buff decks, and that fits a hundred charter boats.in these waters.” Some searches end with aviators finding the boat’ safely anchored while the ostensible anglers go on a spree. “Back home, they think it’s the boat that’s disabled,” Raney said, “but we don’t squeal.” Hospital Flights Dangerous The most dangerous flights are those to the side of steamships far at sea to bring ailing seamen back! to hospitals. The common diffi- culty is setting the large ambu- lance seaplane down in rough wa- ter. In addition to flipping over there is the possibility waves will prevent the plane from taking off after it has landed. The fliers have little trouble lo- cating steamships because their radio messages for aid always give the exact position. ‘Please Find My Parrot’ Along with these distress calls come others which give the gov- ernment men a laugh. One family, fearing the safety of an elderly man, asked the coast guard to warn hin not to fish Zrom a nearby dock, An amateur kayak builder war know where to buy “dope. That’s'the glue used on airplane fuselage fabric. And a woman enlisted the aid of the coast guard in her search for a pet parrot. It’s all a part of the work, the guardsmen say, while they tune up their plane motors and listen for radio buzzings of something more serious.

RUSSIANS MAY SOON OWN HOMES UNDER NEW LAW MUST WAIT AWHILE TO PUR- CHASE CARS; PROTECTION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY IM- PORTANT FEATURE By JOHN LLOYD (Associated Press Foreign Staff Writer) MOSCOW), Sept. 22.—Soviet Union citizens may own their own homes when thei tion goes ints effect, since pro- | tection of private property is one of its most important features. Only the “essential” part of housing in cities and industrial centers is still listed as irrevoc- able property of the state. Per- sonai onership of homes and ob- jects of domestic use is to be pro- tected by law. People cannot buy autos for a- while as they are not yet on pub- lic sale, but they can purchase ra- dios, silk dresses, electrical kitch- en gadgets, fur coats and such i things. | Citizens who have money may ‘“buy into” cooperative apartment houses on a cash basis or by the instalment plan. O.K.’s Building _To really understand the im- {portance of these commitments it (is necessary to go back to the time | when private property was nation- jalized, that is, taken over by the state. True, private ownership of some small houses was still permitted {and later private building of small individual homes was encouraged. {But always there was the ques- . tion, “Am I safe in the ownership here.
