PAAABAAMAARARABAAAAA BADD BOCA CHICA CARETAKER According to the latest heoat here, Boca Chica Air Field has @ present permanent group of 100 officers and 700 men. But according to news ftom Wash- ington it will soon be reduced to a caretaker status. The field will not be relinquished by the Navy. Captain F. C. Sutton, com- manding officer of the fleet Nactu unit, is in Washington at present for conferences with other Navy officials. As was pre- dicted in this column some few months ago the eventual loss of | the Night Fighter program seems very close to fulfillment. This judgment based on the informa- tion from Washington. . e TARGET AREAS The target areas just east of Snipe Keys and on Woman Key | are still dangerous, I was told} yesterday, and fishermen and spongermen going near those! nile delinquency there are two|Mr. and Mrs. Joe Torano, 624| his country in the Navy. areas should proceed with cau-| classes: 1.

Demeritt gives full credit for the ‘purchase of South Beach to City Manager Dave King. Incidentally the sale has not gone through completely but there is no difficulty other than a legal one—that of deter- mining if the city can give a mortgage on the South Beach} property which would be bind- ing on itself. The purchase was on time, not by payment in full. ° » AULD ACQUAINTANCE I still find a lot of staid con- servatism in some fields of civic endeavor. There is none of the vision which made Miami great. It can probably be safely said that work of this sort must now wait for an influx of those tal- ented along these | development limes. We seem:,to slack right down below trolling speed in the summer, wake upiwhen tour- ists come dowm)/in’ the|\winter, get all in al Murry and| bustle, and then sl. toff again}when summer réti |) Putting.

It is’ unthinkable! e . PART TIME ERROR For years we watched the part - time city -commissioners stumble and bumble, intertwine themselves with the seaweed. of politics, clash, and small person- ajities handicap work. Until one day the city got tired of this bumbling. It said to itself. We want a business manager to handle the city’s affairs. And it was so done. I do not think that there is anyone in the city who can conscientiously say that the mew city manager has not ac- complished far more in these six months than any group of city commissioners of the past 11 years. ° e GREATNESS OF WORK The only greatness Key West can ever boast of was the time it was a city of 24,000, second largest in the state’s pioneer days, bustling with cigar factor- ies and bristling with ihe masts ef sailing ships down by the wharves. Industries were every- where. Money was to be made and was made. The city was great then. It had good leaders. It was individualistic. It was vital. . . HARD PULL The greatness of those days was based on a hard, heavy pull and much overtime work. We have but, small remnants of in- dustries now. Yet as in the days when the first Bahaman immi- grants came to these Florida Keys and found wonderful re- sources of fish, climate for tobac- co manufacture and sailed the crossroads of ship travel, so to- day we who are here find a Key West once more in a pioneer state. There is a huge tourist crop waiting to be harvested, waiting to be brought in Ah, but these fish are wary. In order to bring them to the hook, the bait must be good, in order to bring them to this area to take the hook, there must be intelli- gent chumming or giving them the scent of the bait (advertis- ing publicity, could be, huh?)! and then when they get ready to take the bait the fishermen. must j be ready to set the hook proper- | ly (be good hosts and hostesses). | There is a great deal of science in being a tourist town. It also takes a special sort of talent. . . PLAN FOR WINTER From knowledge available this column I believe that some- | to thing of this sort is planned for next winter. The larger business representative bodies may soon get together on the start of an advertising program. . . JUVENILE PROBLEM _ Albert Cooper, city commis- sioner, believes that now that this community is ready to go juvenile delinquency that Na eh nn pe pein degen Key West Methodist churches had as their, guests Tuesday night, Miss Mary ‘Calhoun, con- ference director of . children’s it} tum, director . of intermediate should do so with intelligence} work, and Miss Dorothy Scholl, and a proper evaluation of: 1,| director of religious education of cause; 2, think of offense, then punish- lous examples of this sort of reasoning occurred in continent- al Europe days when a man who owed a debt was thrown into prison and kept there with- out further chance to redeem the debt and wipe out the offense.

The same boy, who has been thwarted and em- bittered by a pitiful home life, sometimes. by a good marriage with a good woman becomes a very fine citizen, a man with character. I cannot hold that anything in life is wholly bad. A fundamental: theological prin- ciple which is clear in my faith is that we are ever struggling to perfeet| ourselves, ever struggling upwards.

Mr. Cooper proposes that a juvenile commit- tee be formed with one or two members from each club in the city to sit in with Judge Roberts and give their advice as to prop- er correction, CONVICTS HOLDING (Continaed from Page One) had made careful preparations against the possibility of convicts coming into possession of an arsenal at Alcatraz. (This is the first time, he ad- ded, that an arsenal has fallen into the hands of convicts, and other precautions have been so strictly enforced only two con- victs have escaped from Alcat- raz since the federal government has been. sending prisoners there). CANDIDATES TELL (Continued from Page One) self,’ Mr. England said, “about the readjustment and their priv- ilege of seeing that it was right, but all told me they had confi- dence in me and my assistant, Franklin Archer.” While only one machine will be used in each of the precincts at Marathon and Tavernier, Eng- land stated that two machines will be taken to each, so that, should one machine not operate properly, it will not be neces- sary to send to Key West to get another. The four machines will be carted to Marathon and Tav- ernier tomorrow. Monday machines will be tak- en to the five precincts in Key. West to be ready for balloting on Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock. Total of voters qualified to participate in the election is 4,- 689, of whom 4,238 are white and 451 colored. Seventy-five Repub- licans and four Independents are registered, but they are not qualified to vote in the Demo- cratic primary. Tension describes the feeling of local candidates as election eve approaches. They have in- tensified their campaign and many of heir adherents also are working full steam. The strain is apparent, but, as one of the candidates remarked, “It won't be long now.” nounced today.

ESQUINALDO SPEAKER AT WELFARE MEETING Ctiy Judge Enrique Esquinal- lo, Jr, is scheduled as the speaker at a meeting of the Monroe County Child Welfare council at the Health Unit at 203 Fleming street. The meeting was to have been held several days ago but was postponed. The pub- lic is invited to attend. PETTEWAY URGES (Continued, from Page One) I will always be faithful to my oath of office. “I pledge also that in keeping | my oath of office, I will per-; form my judicial duties fairly, faithfully and intelligently with- out fear or favor, giving alway equal consideration to the rights of the poor and the rich, the weak and the strong, the under- privileged and the favored in life. “My reputation in private and public life, includes over 17 years on the bench, is sufficient as- surance, I believe, that I will keep my pledge and be true to my oath of office.” - | Judge Petteway has lived in Florida 37 years, was educated in the University of Nérth Caro- lina (A. B.), University of Flor- ida Law School (LL;B),; Colum- bia University Law School. He was admitted to the bar in Flor- ida in 1915; was over 17 years a judge, 12 years as Judge of Criminal Court of Hillsborough county, practiced law in Miami since 1937, and he is a member Dade County, Florida State and American Bar associations.

They said they found the four machines in the camp when they entered it at 9:20 o’clock last night. Mrs. Weaver was arrested but ‘vas released by Sheriff Saw- yer till this morning on her own recognizance. It was then that bond was provided and she waiv- ed examination. Three months ago Deputy Sheriff Wril Archer ‘seized thr: slot machines in the same camp} and arrested ‘Thomas .Weaver on a eharge of their unlawful pos- session. When the ease against him was tried in criminal court, | Weayer testified that he did not} own the camp or the machines. A jury found him “not guilty When releasing, Weaver, im- inal Court Judge Thomas S. Caro] directed the sheriff to keep the three machines. Supervisor Elrod said today that he did not know what effect seizing the slot machines would have. on the license that Mrs. Weaver holds, as that was a mat- ter for State Director James T. Voscelle to decide. However, Elrod declared, sa- loon keepers in Monroe county had been warned by Voscelle, | when he was here five months ago on a tour of investigation, this it was unlawful to have slot machines or any other gambling equpiment in a place that had a liquor license.
