Horses are being permitted to roam free about the city limits destroying proprety and endang- ering the lives of children in the vicinity. A number of tmes light fines have been imposed onthe iowh- ers but it is of no help. I think one of our antiquated city ordinances protects our Froperty and our children by prohibiting the freedom of bothersome animals. The animals are a direct health menace to our city and a breed- ing place for the numerous flies that are now around the island. The owners spate that they stable the horses but the child- ren release them. This is not the These animals are lead to different sections and tied to small shrubs that are inadequate to hold a dog much less a horse. The horses get away and wand- er all over the surrounding ter- ritory. The city ordinance provides for a stable to be properly construct- ed so that flies can not breed and case. -| get in or out of it. It provides for screened stables outside the city limits. The above mentioned stables are not to be in the resi- dential section of Key West. The staples supposedly hous- ing these horses are right in one the biggest governmental housing projects in the city. From these so called stables the animals wander into the project and the surrounding properties and cause havoc and destruction tu landscaping that has no bounds. Yards are uprooted and torn up so badly that it takes months to landscape them again, I have been told of people be- ing awakened in the middle of the night by their child scream- ing. When they go to the child they find a horse’s head in the child’s bedroom window. My child was in the yard playing and a horse came in to enjoy of my fresh grass, The baby touched | the horse’s rear leg and the animal kicked just missing him by a fractioh of an inch, We have been waiting for action long enough now and I hope some members of our local government will do something.

March 17. — United States scientists here are growing white cotton, green cotton and eight shades of {brown cotton -—— but they. are quick to point out that the brown ,and green fibers are of “abso- ilutely no commercial value.” The Russians have claimed two additional hues, rose and lemon. | And Moscow radio says cloth— } 12,000 yards of it—was woven from colored lint last year. This year, Moscow adds, 700 tons will be grown from which a million yards of colored cloth will be produced. But the U. S. scientists appar- ently have not hit on the Soviet technique and up to now, they say, they have not obtained Sov- iet seed. Of colored lint fibers produced jat the U. S. Cotton Field Station jhere Geneticist J, Winston Neely writes: “Any statement indicat- jing that we anticipate their use jin manufacturing und; colored fabrics would be a misrepresen- tation of facts.” ! But another report from the field station d es; that: “These colored fibers have been By JACK STINNETT (By Axxocloted Prenay WASHINGTON, March 17. — The Commonwealth of Australia Information Department is really , going to town now in letting the! United States know about what is going on down under. One of the chief outlets for |this information is a slick paper magazine, not unlike our own Rockefeller office En Gardia.that goes to South America. It is call- ed Southwest Pacific. It is not so pretentious as En Gardia but it has a disarming frankness ithat often takes it completely out of the realm of publicity or propaganda. \ The most recent example of this frankn is an article called “An Aussie Looks at the Yanks”, | written by Bill Smith, an Aus- tralian writer who, I am assured, has lived and worked with the Yanks who are fighting the bat- tles of the Southwest Pacific. ‘ Smith doesn’t pull any punches. He likes the Americans and he’s convinced that most “Dig- gers” do. That’s his conclusion, and he has plenty of proof of it. {But on the way to that conclus- jion, he finds much to criticise and many differences between | these Allies. He finds the Yanks soft (sen- jtimental to the point of guilli- | bility) in several respects, espec- }ially toward women. He thinks |this may be because we are still | BOAT IMP for sale cheap. Lenath| clinging to the frontier tradition that “nothing’s too good for the little woman,” but he points out that it has laid the Yanks open {to gold-diggers who would never get to first base with an Aussie.

Only American upland cotton,’ they say, produces Green fibers which are bright colored when the bolls first open, but on ex: | posure to light gradually fade to a brownish green. But other than for use as “markers” in inheritance studies the geneticists see little value in the colored cotton they grow. “The colored fibers are char-! ‘acterized by very low yields and | very low lint percentages. The} brown lints are very short and weak, and fabrics made from! them are very mottled because’ of the variation in intensity of the pigments,” the station report says. “The green-lint fibers have, however, been made into yarn that is as strong as the yarn or- dinarily obtained from longer cottons. The instability of the! green pigmentation would pre-| vent the commercial use of green fibers as a means of obtaining natural-colored fabrics.” making deep inroads on their stocks of beer, and monopo- lizing their taxis and places of entertainment. Smith doesn’t think this is se-| rious. He points out that the! Diggers did the very same thing! when they were fighting with | the British Tommies in the Med-| iterranean theater. | However, the result is that on leave the Australians and Yanks} don’t mix much, * * * On the other hand, he has found the Americans generous almost to a fault. They’ll share their equipment, their food, their beer, their cigarets and the proverbial shirts off their backs. Smith asks “is the Digger, as/ a fighting man, tougher than the Yank?” He answers, “I don’t know. He certainly looks tough-| er.” He thinks however that’s forms are better cut, of better material and often much cleaner. Also that the Yank soldier gener- ally is much younger than the Digger. Given rough, often ill-| fitting uniforms, that jaunty,! floppy hat, and about ten years in age and maturity, and there's} littlé doubt the Aussie soldier | A U. S.
