This brings to five the num- ber of firms here approved for vet training, Mr. Knight said. The automobile agency is training two veterans, one as a mechanic and the other as a receiving and stock clerk. Mr. Saunders is giving training as | asign painter to one veteran, while the appliance store is teaching another ex-soldier to become an electric and appli- ance service man. Firms wishing to offer training to veterans are re- quested by Mr. Knight to con- tact him at the USES of- fice. EC Ludeuatbede ude t Two Policemen: | Are Appointed To City.

Since some applications be- come matters of public contro- versary, has issued the following dealing with the matter: “The bays and lagoons behind the barrier beaches of the State OUTHERNMOST the engineering office! CPIM MSI ML LILO SI ID of, Florida constitute one of the state’s greatest natural assets. ‘He growth of such communities as Daytona, Palm Beach, Miami, Sarasota and Clearwater has been greatly influenced by the presence of these bodies of sheltered water. During the growth of these and other communities, the material in the bottom of these bays has been, in many in- stances, dredged and used to convert the bordering man- grove swamps into residential property, and similar opera- tions have resulted in the crea- tion of attractive islands in these waters. The work of this nature has, in general, been of great benc- fit to the community. It has re- sulted in the creation of some of the finest and most attractive residential property in the Unit- ed States. Some mistakes may have been made and construction has probably been done which has produced some unfavorable ! results, Nevertheless, the net balance is decidedly beneficial. It is obvious that the filling in of ‘the shores and the building of islands in the Intracostal waters can easily be carried to an un- desirable point, where the natur- ally beautiful open bays would be converted entirely into groups of islands. separated by narrow canals. The state and its subdivi- sions have full authority, if they desire, to prevent such develop- ment, provided only that their actions do not interfere with the actions of the United States in regulating commerce and naviga- tion, nor. conflict with the con- stitutional provisions protecting property rights.

Aquatic Expert To Be Director Of Water Safety Plans are underway for a wa- ter safety instructors training course which will be given in Key West June 25-July 6, according to J. W. Sellers, chairman of the Water. Safety committee. This course will be conducted by Har- ry A. Kenning, field representa- tive, who is attached to the south- eastern area of the Red Cross. Mr. Kenning is a veteran in this work, Mr. Sellers says. After _ conducting classes in life-saving for Red Cross chapters at large Atlantic coast bathing beaches, Mr. Kenning joined the American Red Cross disaster re- lief unit which was sent to Puerto Rico after the hurricane of Sep- tember, 1928. At the close of the relief work, he was assigned to the task of. arousing interest in Red Cross water safety in Puerto Rico and the neighboring Virgin Islands. He. also instructed police- men, firemen, railway em- ployes and electric light and telephone workers of San Juan in first aid to the injured. He made a subsequent tour of ser- vice to these islands in the early months of 1934. “He has served for a number of seasons as director of the Nation- al Aquatic school held annually by the Red Cross at Brevard, N. C.,” Mr .Selfers said, and add- ed: | “Mr, Kenning first became in- terested professionally in swim- ming and life-saving as instruc- tor for the Boy Scouts of Ger- mantown, Pa. So successful was he in this work that officials ask- sed him to conduct the first Boy Scout swiming meet to be held in | Philadelphia, which enjoyed such success that it has been an an- nual event ever since. He soon became an outstanding figure in swimming, life-saving and water safety in Philadelphia, qualifying as a Red Cross life-saving exam- iner.’* He conducted the most ex- } | { | in Philedelphia‘s history. This attracted the attention of the Red Cross and he was asked to become a member of the first aid and life saving field staff. He is a sound and en- thusiastic teacher of both first aid and water safety,” Mr. Sel- lers stated. To be eligible for ‘enrollment, candidates must be 19 years of age, good swimmers, and poss {| potential teaching ability.
