It was not a nice thing to see, people arresting each other. Key Westers do not act in thet fashion. I am glad John and Frank feel differently about the matter. e e BACK NATIONAL’ UP!' Sorry to hear those, rumors that the CAB is preparing to eut National's service into Key West. I suppose the basis is that * continuous scheduled service is not maintained, but after all who ts there to kick. Key West selid as a bunch, have appreciat- ed National's service as they have appreciated no other flying serv9 into this island. Something for us to keep our eyes upon is the fact that National has put im an application for Havana service which I hear by scuttle- butt is not too well looked upon by the CAB.1I wonder how much of a hand Pan American has in thet. Time and time again plane lines have asked for flight lines to foreign countries and invari- ably it has been turned down and continued to be manopolized by Pan American, I think Key Westers are one hundred percent behind National in its efforts to continue service between Key West and Miami and ALSO to make the Havana flights. It is time we put our arms around these who are helping us and cast out those who shave never helped us. tee . 7 SCHOOL BOARD'S SIDE The School Board has author- ized these statements: Albert Carey was appointed principal not by Superintendent Demeritt but by Superintendent Albury. This in refutation to statements by this column that politics were involved in the letter Carey re- ceived that he would not be re- appointed principal. Regarding teachers, not principals, the school board says “The school board and superintendent Will- ard Albury have never contem- plated discharging any teacher for the coming yetar”.. Finally ip regard to the appointment of principals the Florida. law, says, “the law provides that thé trus- tees are; to consider the recom- mendations+of the county. super- intendent regarding all persons to be nominated by them for dis- trict supervising principal or principals of all district schools and to make nominations for such positions to the County’ Board”, RAKING IS VITAL By GEORGE QUINT AP Newsfeatures | ATER the garden plot had been} it should be raked | thoroughly to make the surface } level and get rid of stones or) oth- | er rubbish brought to the surface. | Starting at the northeast cov- work backward to the south- | st corner, then continue the process until the entire patch has| been raked. | Next, start at the corner and work east, paded. ner northwest so that there will be a criss-cross raking | of the soil.

Se daetiageesserke cs Thousands of magazines carpets. the floors and swell into dust- covered, cob-webbed stacks, run by Sophie Sharan, a young wo- man with a spicy personality and a frightening memory, which she uses instead of a formal index or catalogue.

That concluded | the conversation. In a case-hardened New York accent, Mrs. Sharan is discursive about anything literary, knows: the work of thousands of writers living and dead, and can put her! finger on anything desired in the! store in about one minute. | She has her own system of jus- ; tice and is not afraid to use it.! “I get as much as I can,” she ad- mits. ‘It’s a case of supply and | demand.” When a mink coated! movie actress didn’t see eye to eye with her on the price of some 50-year-old style magazines the actress needed to study for part, the actress left empty hand-: ed.
