"—a songzj that could have been very aptly written about Frank Mata formerly a machinist in the X-31 Inside Machine Shop. Mr. Mataush, born in Russia, has thrilled audiences across the continent of Europe. Frank, now a naturalized American citizen; has recently resigned his job at the Key.West Navy Base and is returning to his former position as a member of the “Flying; Otarises”, a family aerialist teani now connected with the Ringling} Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Cir- cus. “The Flying Otarises” act brok2 up during the war when the Ma- taush brothers: Constantine, Bill, Alfred atid George, joined the Army 'to! help defend their newly adopied country, while ‘Frank plied his skill as an expert ma-, chinist with the Key West Naval! Base,'* At the cease of hostilities, | Frank is now joining the other} members of his trouping family | at Sarasota. All are again unite. | except Sgt. Constantine Mataush, | who lost his life during some bit-} ter fighting “somewhere in France”. Constantine enlisted in| the Army still a Russian citizen and obtained his citizenship as a private. He was offered an hon- orable discharge because of being 38 years old but refused it, pre-| Se bridges to Key West. I say, | “Thanks to you for your cour- | age. Tell sin to squeeze harder: and see what happens.” | Someday the good citizens and; taxpayers are going to get as the | Conchs says, “a belly full”, How about a? Hickel, pardnter—| but squeeze it. I'd park six blocks and walix: ten before T'll drop a nickel in those meters. ALBERT G. ROBERTS. Key West, Fla., March 10, 1946. By J. HARMAN BRODOWSKI NOB Civilian Publicity Director CAUTION CARS APPROACK '. ING BOCA CHICA FIELD 4 t "To facilitate the flow of traffic on Highway No. 1, Marine sentry posts there been moved to both sides of roads leading from the into the station at Boca Chiea. The former sentry boxes were located on the highway es to the Naval Air Station. Rear Admiral John F. Shafroth. Jr., commandant of the 7th Na’ District, issued the directive for ity; ferring to serve the country to which he had become a part. Mr. Mataush states that it took a long time to build up their top- flight original criss-cross aerialist act, and that much practice will be needed to limber up after a “lay-off” of five years. Doffing greasy, stained machin- ist’s work clothes for the colorful big-top tights, Frank Mataush and his troupe are well on t! way practicing for the “greatest show on earth”, which leaves Sarasota about’ March 27th for the circus’ grand opening in Madison Square Garden, New York. A LITTLE TOO LATE SPRINGFIELD, TIL—A__ post-! cerd, addressed to Abraham Lin- coln, of Springfieid, Ill., was re- cently received by Manager : Hayden Davis, of the Abraham ; Lincoln Hotel. The card read:,, “Dear Mr. Lincoln—Please send me a copy of your famous Get-| tysburg address. I need it for school. Robert Bendler, 211! York street, Camden, N. J.” He received his copy. ‘ TORTURED BY THIRST MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis citizens contributed to a fund to make it possible for little Linda: Brown, 3, who is suffering from , the tortures of an unquenchabie thirst unless given a daily in-' jection of petressin, to be sent to John’s Hopkins, in Baltimore, or the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
