It was id in the Wilson Yacht Basin project, for instance. It is being said at present and on scores of past Occasions. Well, there is a good reason. It is because pub- licity has been stifled, has been kept undercover and then an at- a tempt made to ram the project through fast in a coup. Then Key Westers, who are British and American in their desire for in- vidual “rights”, raise the roof. |Thus, “everyone has suddenly | hopped on the proposition.” What {is the answer? It is simply that the matter has not been well thought out for the common good | when first proposed in secrecy. Thus, in the Wilson project the obvious thought was for the city ty» own the land and lease the property, keeping ultimate con- trol. But the first proposition to come out of the bag was for Wil- son to buy the bottom lands him- self. Now the city will buy the al lands and nearly everyone is sat- in dtied on something which will {prove a decided asset to the city. . re in m- be id ed of o- om. m- as rs, m-} he mar nown t na ay ai at- | e TRIAL BALLOONS When you have a civic project, , send up a couple of trial balloons the late President Roosevelt j used to do. Thus, you crystallize public thought on all phases and when the subject comes through all are for you. It was the same j case with the Municipal’ Hospital. ; Ernest Ramsey certainly does not jexcel at publicity and there was ; a storm of criticism, political and ‘t; otherwise, brewed, which, upon ~} complete presentation to the pub- ©\lic, dissipated and Ramsey got a -|vote of confidence from the large ; gathering at the first city com- n.ission meeting. Darn poor pub- lic relations, I call these matters. Comes now the Chamber of Com- {me and the new secretary a- | Which is to be chosen. My stand dj is for a man somewhat like King, professional in his job, not just | anyone to take over the Chamber. ! There are‘plenty up the state who: I) re members of the Chamber of Secretaries Associa- ip ;ton, strong, middle-aged men who will make this little Cham- er crackle with the Island City’s in'€Vident charms, who will stimu- nd , late business not only for the big y man but also for the little man and that’s one big kick aaginst ; Chambers of Commerce here and «verywhere) and get the full sup- port of everyone behind the cham- ber. This man, I believe, should be mature and professional in his experience. This is my thought, call it what you will. I think I am right. The city is doing well with Manager King and the chamber would do well with a similar professional. Let’s stop beating around the bush, put a n- 80od captain in charge of the ship ng and run out a good course line. ur my in ur 1g st nd n- 1e ne is |b in it.) ite id: — Political Announcements ght, not inflamed, | e THREATENED SUIT TOMFOOLERY 'v.

GOEHRING, Chief Quarteman Pipefiitter Crowded Ships Deep down in, the roaring bowels of an itinerate tramp steam plowing its way through heaving seas, you will find the ship’s “Black Gang”. Oilers, stokers, engineers, all working together to keep a ship moving towards its destination. These are the real heroes of the merchant marine navy, the men who have answered the call of the sea and who transform an idle hulk of a ship into a smooth- working power plant. This, too, is the story of Alton B. Goehr- ing’s first love, the sea. Born in Key West in an evironment of ships and sailors from faraway} lands, young Alton decided at an early age that his life’s work would be a marine engineer. At the age when other boys would have been thinking of their newspaper routes and ma- rine Service. Shipping on dirty tramp freighters, sleek passen- ger lines, and heavy-laden cargo vessels Mr. Goehring visited geo- graphy book places such as Trin- idad, Port-au-Prince, Tampico, and Colon. Then, after receiving his marine engineer education the hard way, Alton Goehring returned home. Crowded Ships His clean-cut, weather-beaten face momentarily serious, Mr. Goehring tells of a wartime NOB, | when ships crowded the docks and waited in line to be repaired.| Naturally the navy vessels were repaired first and returned to the fight in a tip-top condition. While merchant marine ships could only be administered emergency repairs and allowed to proceed; to their private company docking facilities. Alton Goehring, Chief Quar- terman of the Pipefitting Shop, Coppersmiths, and Propeller Shop has been recently appointed head of the Boiler Shop. Mr. Goehring and his competent per- sonnel also does the Yard’s sand- Church Names New Officers POINCIANA PASTOR MAKES REPORT ON COMMUN- ITY SERVICE The fact that the Poinciana Community Church has_ con- ducted a “ministry to a proces- sion” and has had the “equivalent} ot three separate congregations during 1945”, was pointed out by Rev. John E. Pickens at the an- nual’ meeting held Wednesday evening. In spite of this condition caused by the rapid turn-over in population in the Poincianag, re- ports were most encouraging. The pastor also spoke of the com- munity service rendered through such efforts as the Hi-You Club which was organized and is now sponsored and directed by the ehurch, The Sunday School had a par- ticularly _fine record, with an average attendance for the year of 105. The average for January| TO: 1945 was 72 and this was the lowest for the year. At present attendance is running 130 and better. Mr. J. W. Windham, Moder- ator, who presided at the session, commented especially on the fin- ancial condition, stating that while no stress had been laid on money raising, the year closed with all bills paid and a balance four times that of a year ago. The missions and benevolence giving was good, showing steady in- crease during the year. The clerk, Miss Margaret Russ, called attention to the twenty young people and adults baptized during the year. The following officers were| - elected: J. W. Windham, moder- ator; Miss Margaret Russ, clerk; Roy Nelson, financial secretary; Charles Collins, treasurer; J. W. Windham, Roy Nelson, deacons; Mrs. Roy Nelson, Mrs. Wilbur Holzapfel, _deaconesses; Paul Campbell, George Pease, trustees. Three other trustees are in office, Albert Zepp, Walter Bak- er and C. O. Williams. Reports were also received from other organizations of the church. All indicating good work done by young people and adults. One of the most interesting was| ‘ presented by the Sunshine Circle, Women’s Society, which meets each second and fourth Wednes- day evenings. ublicity Director blasting, metallizing, hydrostatic testing, and steam cleaning. In addition, his men replace and re- pair any defective piping on all ‘submarines and naval vessels, | using a wide variety of metals {and pipe sizes ranging from | 3/8ths to 6 inches. ; The name of ‘Goehring’ is quite | well-known around the Yard.

Even though Mr. Goehring has; ‘hit-the-beach’ and now con- sidered a land-lubber by his former shipmates, he still keeps in touch with the merchant ma- rine activities and can very easily tell you where practically | any commercial ship is docked} and what she is doing.

Bill Kroll Proves Talk By Bringing In Sailfish, Other Fish One of the most popular of the winter Visitor Socials was held last week at the USO, cor- ner of Duval and Caroline streets out in the patio with colored lights and warm breezes making a delightful evening: Principal speaker was Bill Kroll, captain of the Charter Boat Sea Raider who delivered a talk on Key West ‘fishing with many humorous sidelights and then to prove that this was no fish story brought in two sacks from which he wonderously ex- tracted a 30 pound amberjack, a small grouper, a twenty pound barracuda, and a small mackerel and dolphin caught that day. The audience especially those who had not seen Key West fish before gasped but they were completely overcome when Mr. Kroll brought in a sailfish which Captajn Jakie Key had just cap- tured. Mr. Kroll also discussed the questions of whether barracuda were poisonous and said it was his opinion they were not; of mac- kerel fishermen. swinging a net around schools of mackerel and then racing the boat inside the the net, of the attempts to release many barracuda here.
