PAGE FOUR SNAILS AEE, The OBSERVATION POST BILL TUT gohn G. Sawyer drew a laugh, even from Federal Judge John W. Holland sitting in the U. S. Court here, during the early stages of the trial of a negro Navy cook charged with first de- @ree murder in the death of a thipmate. “I can't hear what the hess says”, complained an sistant of U. S. Attorney Herbert 8. Phillips. “Mr. Sawyer is talking very confidentially to the jury and their voices don’t carry this fa wit- “Then you ought to get one of these things”, snapped Sawyer, pointing to a hearing device he wears Ce Kuk A cousin of the late Col. Wil- liam F. (Buffalo Bill) Cody is now in Key West and has leased the White House property at Du- val and Caroline streets He is J, Frank Cody, who was born in Oregon and who lived much of his life in San Fran- tisco, before going to Miami, where he was for a number of years. Cody explained that his cousin, Buffalo Bill, famous old | Indian fighter and crack shot, | died in Denver in 1917.

A motorcycle cop pulled up | alongside them. They were rested, admitting they were go- ing about 40 miles an hour when a sign on the roadside said the jthe limit for 25. Taken to Ft. Lauderdale police headquarters, they got to talking about the situation. “Nothing like this would have happened in Key West,” said one. “No, you bet your life there it wouldn't,” snapped another. i “But they're building a new city hall at Ft. Lauderdale and maybe they need the money,” snipped a third. “It will just cost you $15 bail,” said the desk sergeant. “You can get it back or pay a fine tomorrow at 8 a.m.” “But we can’t get back tomor- row”, said the driver of the of- fending car. “Then we'll just keep the $15”, réturned the sergeant. They complained to the Ft. Lauderdale branch of an organi- vation to which they belong. The sign reading 25 miles an hour was four miles from the business sec- tion of the city, they said. Fort Lauderdale kept the $15. x “Dog How calling. calling.” A radio enlisted, man was busy turning the dials and repeating these words on a radio in the of- fice of Comdr. Eli Vinock, opera- tions officer of the Key West Naval Base. “Dog How calling,” the radio man said again. “What's ‘Dog How'?” we ask- @d Comdr. Vinock, “That is a call name of the hurricane radio service the Navy has installed throughout ‘the area.” Vinock explained. “The call letters are really Dog How ar-| building will be used for hous- jout the Florida, to be staffed and Adventists, were announced by sentatives. jing in Highlands and Hardeexk- | counties now almost entirely [without opportunity for such/ medical care. | There are two large buildings on the five-acre property, which ! is situated between two beauti- | ful lakes.

Hackman, president of | Florida Sanitarium board, announced here that Dr. C. J. Larsen, formerly medical super- intendent at Orlando, will head | the medical staff for the new in- | stitution at Avon Park. It will; probably be named the Highland | Lakes Sanitarium and Hospital. Marvin Baldwin, now purchas- ; ing agent, has been named bus- j iness manager; and A. C. Larson, | general manager of the Florida | Sanitarium and Hospital, will! serve as comptroller for the two i institutions. ' Mr. Hackman said that be- tween now and November 1, the ! date set for opening, more than} $100,000 will be spent in putting | the buildings in shape and ir! furnishings and equipment to make the new medical institution modern and complete in every way. The Ridge Area Hospital Association; made up of a group of public’ spirited men and women of the area, is raising a fund of $150,000 for this purpose. , Mr. Hackman also announced the opening of a third Adventist | medical center in Florida, a 36- bed hospital in Tallahassee. This is a former private hospital building and nurses’ home pur- chased from the estate of the late J. K. Johnson. He stated that the Adventist denomination operates a chain of 184 hospitals, sanitari- : ums and clinics around the world | | | ing nurses and other personnel. | | ( | \more than 30 of which are locat- jed in the United States. noise was ridiculous”, said the old cabbie. “Know what I'd do?

There is no danger in Key West. We're just testing the ap- paratus to see how this station hooks up with others in the area.” The Navy is determined that if a hurricane is expected in Key West that all the folks will know what's doing on, and can take steps to protect themselves and their properties. So don’t get excited when the radio reports a high wind storm making somewhere in the Caribbean or the Gulf. The Navy will know of it in plenty of time and will send airplanes out to scout the wind area and mote the direction it is travel- ing. Then the airplanes will let the wind experts of the Navy here know about it—and you'll get the news, and fast. * The old cab driver, whom we Quoted last week, was exaspe- rated with the actions of the City commission which heard com- plaints of J. D. McAndrews, man- ager of LaConcha Hotel, about noise at the corner of Duval and Fleming streets “The idea of suggesting that the hotel air condition its, rooms and close the windows to keep “Any chance of it com-| and when, and so | janyone else.
