J. Naval Amphibious Train ing Base at Fort Pierce was de- commissioned the other day and that meant the suspension of The Mock-Up, the base’s publication. For three years The Mock-Up re- corded the activities pf the base Starting out as a mimeographed newspaper, the final edition’ of the publication contained 68 Pages of text and printing. The “fare- well” edition summarized activi- ties of the base from its inception to decommissioning. Another publication here, the NAS’ elican”, is now appearing in a “new dress”. New Orleans Will Compete With Key West New Orleans is planning ferry service to the Yucatan Peninsula but admits Key West will it to the gun”. A recent article in The Port of New Orleans Record goes into de- | tail about the rising importance of the Yucatan in the tourist trade! amd reveals a proposed ferry route from that port to Progreso in Yucatan to compete with Key West. Key West holds a big advantage over New Orleans in time requir-} ed for water passage to Vacatan | The: 90-mile distance to Havana by ferry from Key West can be covered ‘in six hours. The tourist would then drive to the western- most port of Cuba at La Fe for the 120-mile jump to the Yu At present a boat trip fr New Orle: 40 hours. The Pan-American route through Key West will join up with the main trunk line from Laredo, Tex., by links across the ns to Progreso requires Western tip of Cuba and down the , Yucatan Peninsula. planning a new port eastern tip of Yucatan, where tke motorists will land from Cuba. From there a highway will run to Merida, then turn south to the port of Ca eche and continue on to join the Pan-Am an high: way at Tuxtla Gutier Concerning the route througn Key West, the New Orleans paper said: “According” to last reports, the ferry service to be inaugurat- ed for the benefit of tourists-—Key | Me -} West-Havana-Trujillo rida—is a foregone conclusion. The boats will be able to, take about 800 passengers with 150 to 400) automobi Rates ‘have! been tentatively set ata very low Scale so as to make this: tour avail- able to all.” City T€ll Cost More To Eat At Public Schools The Citizen published an ant- icle sometime ago revealing that state funds to public schools for maintenance of the School Lunch | Room Program woutd be reduced | and that local authorities would have to meet the reduction. Without state a lunch rooms h. elose. Others have had to resort to various means to remain open. Comes now announcement t the school cafeteria in Belle this week increases its pri lunches as follows: pupils, 20 cents instead of 15 cents, high hool students and teachers, 25 cents instead of 20 cents.

The new flour will contain by weight at jleast 80 percent of the oriignal wheat from which it is made as against 72 percent at present. The “off-white” bread is named after the President bevatse of his} ‘recent orders to conserve’ wheat !'so that more can be shipped over-j seas for starving victings of the past war. You Can Heip Solve Youth Problems Key West grotips interested in helping solve the youth problems of this state, and particularly thix city, will be afforded an oppor- tunity to do so in the near future. Governor Caldwell has called a state-wide conference on juvenile | delinquency to be held in Talla- hassee March-18, Among those invited -by the governor to attend the tonfer ence are: Juvenile court and county court judges, state we! (fare officials, PTA’s, educators ; religious, civic and fraternal or- ganizations and service clubs. } The invitation takes in prac- tically all: groups in Key West that: desire to better conditions | for the problem children of. this ¢ityy Emphasis will be placed on ae “problems.of the-incareerated ju |} > venile offender”. Look Out, 4F’s! "Key West’s 4F’s in the non-fa- ther ranks between the ages of 18 and 25 may soon:be called up 1 to meet the Army’s critical need for occupation troops. Draft boards all over the coun try, acting under requst from se- lective service to provide 75,099 physical rejects before May, are now scanning their lists of 4F’s. Admitting this will lower effi- , ciency and increase disability dis- charges, the Army ‘says it has failed to get enough fully fit men and must use other means to fii. its required quota of 250,000 mer during the first five months of this year. },yUnden thesurevised standards, ‘the: Army: will;accept men with certain -types of. hernia, -stutte. ing, or stammering,. mild chronic neuroses ;and mild mental .deli- ciencies. The draftees also will include some with physical disabilities at present deferred for agriculture and occupational reasons.

Well, I)says, it is on account of how our Govt. could take some pointers from the squared circle—- and when a labor dispute shov jup it should not take sides or look the other way, or favor one versus the other. Take one item like pickets, where they clutter up a neighborhood or keep the buss off his own property. That is not shootin’ square with the boss. A referee, when he gets to sid- in’ with one versus the other con- {testant, he is about washed up — jand his refereeing days are num jbered, like it was there with Bel- shazzar when he fell down on the job, in Mesopotamia.

Following in the footsteps of Miami and Fort Lauderdale, the barbers of West Palm Beach have hiked their price for haircuts from 75 cents to one buck. And it won’t do WPB males any good to whistle (in the dark), “Shave and A Haircut, Two Bits ’. As far as we can learn, haircu's remain at the 75-cents price in Key West, although there are a few considerate barbers still charging the. sensible price. It was reported recently that some barbers here, lifted the gost to $1.00.. There ‘may be “a few still charging this amount but they are definitely in the mincr-, ity—or should, be, Spanish Vets To Meet May 5-8 Spanish-American.

No More Boom Days But— Florida is not seeking to cre-: ate an jinflux similiar to the boom lays of the mid-twenties but it s exerting all efforts to brin more permanent residents and ir- } dustries within its borders and is going after summer vacationists.
