AGE SIX se bt ion bn itn Poth hittin Snir t CORAL ROCKETS. By L, P, ARTMAN, JR, i BAAAAAALAALAABBALALAM DBM MMA DM ah hee Wow! wow! On Monday in The Citizen there will be a picture of Miss Gloria Acevedo, the Rotary Club} candidate for queen of the Sponge Festival, attired in a leopard skin; Wathing suit. Candidates of oth-! ef clubs are welcome to have their cuts printed in The Citizen Without charge if they furnish the euts. Will be glad to order cuts for anyone wishing’ them. . e HOW ABOUT AN OFFER? Someone was asking ine what The Citizen’s interest was in Cleaning up bars and gambling | places locally. Our only interest is that we think the town is too; honky-tonk right now and every- om who comes here and knew{ that there is a. present lack of printer personnel in the country. Also of printing machinery. The Outpost is after linotype opera- tors. The Artman. Press was ap- proached, as-te: printing ‘Fhe Qut-} post but couldn't do. so at ,this tires ¥ Ehere willbe expansion bf The Agtmbfi Press, probably with- in a year after hot-shot Joe Allen, is reléased’ from ‘service. * for, him: to be'released..in a few months. Watch our. smoke! e, a OASIS IN DESERT You know, I drove out through Foinciana the other day chasing out after a newsy who was sick! and getting his papets. to him and I was smacked in. the old: beano! the town as it was before, states by an idea.

No one will be happier when. building materials ‘are unfrozen again and each man starts to plan toward his own home, built his own way, than I pw be. STILL. NEED.

Ah, well, that is the feward of The Citizen's clean comscience. It is one of the rea- sehs why this representation of} Key West thought has survived Where so many bitter, recrimina- tty sheets haye gone down un-} Siiing. It, is the reason we get support, because we. shoot, clean. And we bave had,offers. Once upon a denies the publisher of this ffered $30,000. Shucks, ant a motor boat right y, maybe they should have of- fered me this. ° ° CHURCH COLUMN TODAY Church service notices are cut to two columns today because of laek of space. Tell you the truth, | the way the copy has been brought in late after the Friday! fight deadline these church no-! fiees will suffer more and more} im the future unless this deadline’ ie observed. This is good reading! @fd it is up ‘o the ministers Whether they wish to present it to! the public in time to be set up by| the linotypes. * ° PRIVATE ENTERPRISE DOCKS There has been some discussion} about the docking. space available | to yachts and commercial: boats ‘in | this city. There is one thing cer- tain, it is not up. to the city to afrange for this docking: space. Only private, enterprise..can do this. Thus the Wilson proposition to put up a Yacht Dock in Gar- tison Bight.- Alse; the scuttlebutt going the rounds that another large pier will eventually-be con- structed at Porter Dock Company for the new ferries. Pfesent scut- tlebutt has the new steel ferry, Which will be ready for operation im the spring of this year, docking @t Porter Dock across the face of ome of the piers now available. It seems to be pretty definite that Craig Dock is still wished for by the Navy. One of these days, though, the cit} will have to fix up the Municipal Sponge Pier or lease the land to someone with the money to do it. It would Make a good charter boat dock, together with Gulf Pier close by. e e RELEASING BARRACUDA Local fishermen are coming fight along with the idea of re; iédsing barracuda. One fisherman. afmounced publicly that he re- leases all barracuda except about six a day. ersonally, I believe all but one, the biggest, should be released. Not too many grouper are caught right now. The pres- emt dope is that the commercial men are still trying to locate the kingfish schools after the recent blew. These schools are getting wiser and wiser and using new hideouts. ° ° JACKSON SQUARE OFFER Here's some action from Jack- ». Director Wil- on announces. via Rockets We have noted interest that you advocate parties by the various clubs in town for service personnel. We| think that is a superb idea. On behalf of the Jackson Square USO I wish to offer the facilities lub and the full coopera- taff to any club that 2 foci clubs, there you are. Next ‘one up is the proposition of having service- men up to dinner in individual homes. e e LACK LINOTYPERS ' Florida Key Outpost’ will sus- pend for two issues because of lack of linotype help. When you folks complain that The Artman Press doesn’t accept regular pub- lication printing jobs, remember STRONG ARM BRAND COFFEE TRIUMPH COFFEE MILL barracks and I for-orie: won't live ; any longer than Ihave to in these ‘community _jumbley’- togethers. when~*suddenly I burst on’ a_ priyaté-¢nterprise around and an. architecture Which was neat and ipdividualigt, | It was like an mae in a desert! | Here was, jndivi Cee was The Anteplcad we all knew so Well, wetting | back on are not going to fawn} family are arranged in tiers as in very easy to see that some will al-; ways require. these homes and! that others’ will live in them until the, day. whén they can afford Right now, we could even: use many more card- board-box homes in the city.
