One can hardly blame them. After explaining away a whole series Ree B: bonds, of delays, including the illness of Crummer, who is buying the county local ofiicials feel it is a little too much to have to tell the property owners they are now being held up because Commissioner Eddie Gomez has refused to attend a spe- cial meeting of the beard. Whatever the reasons for Gomez’ de- cisior. to hold off the release of funds sent here by Crummer until the regular meeting date in April, most Key Westers feel that he is blocking a program desired by the overwhelming majority of property own- er: County freeholders voted almost unani- mously in favor of the project and one of the arguments they heard most frequently were that speed and cooperation es- sential to its suecess. They were told again and again that unless they showed a united ront in favor of the airport, government of- ficials might think there was little desire for it here and put it some place else. Supporters of the project apparently because many vas d their aveument well, are wondering what the Boca Chica property owners and the government au- thorities are thinking now, * expressed desire to handle the all in- enough. Gomez whole affair in public and with terested citizens present is fair Verhaps he is right in feeling that a sud- called meeting Monday night would ens a chance to ex- denl not have given local ci press themselves. It does not follow, however, that the release of money for the land purchase ought to wait until a regular meeting date. Surely, if the airport is important Monroe county freeholders showed they think it is, one or two days would be suffi- cient to advertise the fact that the com- missioners plan a meeting. as as FRENCH SUFFERED HEAVY LOSSES French losses in the blitzkrieg, which resulted in complete defeat last year, were extremely heavy, according toa book by Captain Jean Labusquiere, whose position is generally taken as sufticiently important | as to make the statistics authoritative. | showing the losse in prairies are the haunts of bison | In May and June, of last year, he says, French losses were equal to those of the first three months of war in 1914. Eighty thousands graves of French soldier killed in the war have been located in France and twenty thousand soldiers are missing. One hundred twenty thousand wounded have listed. These are the casualties suf- fered in only forty-five days of fighting. The French captain reviews the his tory of France’s participation in the war, sustained because of in- ferior equipment. Officers paid even more severely than in other Thirty to thirty-five per cent of the casualties were officers. Nine French generals were killed and 150 and 1 generals were captured. Forty thousand officers are missing, killed or prisoners. Of the active Army officers, xty-five per cent fell on the field wars. 92 he say or were captured, GUARDING OUR HEALTH yuld worry ¢ biect that a imination should be taken w of r h has bee Some periodical liscovering any incipient diseases that such examinations te pre cated per warned } WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 1944 NATURE NOTES By J.
