ARTMAR, JR BADKBAAAAEBEEBAEBEEA AAA BABA ADAAASABERE BINGO! Bingo places all over town were closed down during the} Grand Jury investigation which| is going on right now and is ex- pected to be concluded today with the foreman giving a result of the findings. e « MINORS COMPLAIN Here’s a note from Rev. Pick- ens of Poirtiana: Please tell Mr. Artman, Jr.—his article of Sat- urday, per housing, in which the poor old West Poineiana didn’t do so good—Come on out a little further and look about you in the Old Project—we’ll be glad to show you some houses in- cluding our own at 55-1. Duplex and not bad at all. We really live out here and its not a bad place to bring up our children either. In fact I know many living in city proper now who would like to live out here. We invite a more thorough inspection of Poinciana and don’t forget we're part of Key West too. We don’t forget it. e e PERMANENT HOUSING Mighty fine little note. Rev. Pickens evidently is quite proud of Poinciana although I note he excuse the “cardboard boxes” of West Poinciana. The best thing to consider about West Pointiana is to see what the Navy ig doing out at Boca Chica. Everywhere are going up per- manent concrete block quarters and. mess halls. The cardboard box: barracks which were hastily flung up during the war appar-, ently were not considered ade- quate for permanent housing. ! é . BARRACKS LIFE My own thought is that Porter Place is quite nice. I wouldn't like to live even in Poinciana project proper. I just don’t think it has the excellence of Porter Place. West Poinciana, well let’s not go into my real thoughts after barracks life servicemen led during the past war. But my real is the beauty of private homes, individually built, indi- vidually styled by architects and personal taste. Boy to me that is) the free spirit of America. e e PEOPLE REPLY Regarding the old project of Poinciana here is a word 0} praise. The people are right on according to one city commissioner here who praised the recreation. program they have ; out there, their police system,' and their many other civic set- ups. There is a lot of action out there and a lot of fresh spirit, much as is in the ecasé up on Marathon on the Keys. This is all part of the new Key West which is coming around fast. But you already have my opinion on housing in this group. Incident- ally, I am going to come around and give the government housing projects in Key West a good writeup very soon as I have done in the case of the Health Unit and other units of city govern- ment. Also on the griddle are tours of NOB, NAS and Boca Chica which have been arranged. ° e YOUTH INTEREST Revival of interest in the youth of the city is coming along fine, Paul M. Brick, Field Scout Ex- ecutive states today. He said the slogan should be hats off to the past coats off to the future. On the way down Mr. Brick stopped at Islamorada and found out that Principal Pinder is going to or- ganize a new scout troop there and that Mr. Pinder will also call Tavernier and see about a scout troop at that place. Mr. Brick was kidding Mr. Moehrke of Key West scouting in telling him that it was a long pedal on his bike to cover the Monroe area. e e CIVIL SERVICE INTERVIEWS There are many at the Naval, Operating Base here who have been to civil service at the Base and asking about annual leaves, and transfers to other bases in-j cluding at least three to Pearl} Harbor. Long lines form on these matters. All came about follow- ing recent Navy announcements on annual leaves which must be taken now and on discharge of some temporary service em- ployes. e BOAT SERVICE Well here’s the latest news about the bottom fishing boat and the sightseeing boat. Be- cause of many delays in securing labor and materials the commis- sioning dates have been advanced slightly, but the bottom fishing boat should be ready in two weeks, the sightseeing boat is resplendent with seats installed, the entire boat painted in beauti- ful tones, the new flying bridge windshield’ installed and_ only, motor controls remaining. Owner says he'll be ready in two weeks. ; Well say a month and Key West, should ‘have these fields well covered. SMALL POTATOES A person small enough to hold back an article from Kis own local néwspaper and give it to an outside paper first becausé he*has not had just the kind of propa- ganda in the local papér he’ has’ dictated is aineatty rast HITTING on ALL ‘six Signs are sprouting from Bar doors: No minors allowed. I think King is hitting on all six in this move to maké bars of the city presentable and clean so that they make a good appear- ance. é é MAJORITY WISHES The more I think about it the more I think that the people of Key West, I am talking about the majority of the people, wish to have liquor dispensing continue and also wish to have bingo games continue. And if there is anything like bingo games—who said there was—continue also. I think this is the openion of the ,Majority of Key West citizens. e e TRIM LOTS Looks to me as if there might be a’ drive somewhere in the future to have the vacant lots trimmed down. Don’t think Man ager King will be too hard on property owners who already have their hands full with heavy city and cdéunty taxes but he is going to ask that at least the higher bushes be removed from vacant lots. The best way to clean: up vacant lots is to have homes) built on are a THE CITIZEN NEWSBOYS 3 Do you folks know the names of The Citizen newsboys, these young merchants who dispense The Citizen through the city each “day from four o’clock on. They are: Harry Carey, James Pettis, Tony Ramirez; Kenneth Key, Armando Ramirez, David Pettis, Harry Williams, Claude Valdez, Braxton Warren, Albert Teel, Stephen Camus, Charles Borntraeger, Jimmy Pettis, Jud- son Pettis, and Richie, aged newspaperboy. FIRST AMENDMENT DETROIT.—The first amend- ment to the Constitution guaran- tees, freedom of speceh, religion and the press in the United States. ick Hm-m-m! Here’s another one of those sil-} ly yarns that we’d never think of printing: “I don’t mind you naming me Alasper Smith, mother, but why Alasper Y. Smith?” “Why, after Shakespeare’s hero, of course! Surely you know of Alasper Yorick!” U. S. troops in Bavaria favor fraternizing with the Germans. NOB Transportation ade _ Officer ~~.
