The wind’s coming from that point proved conclusive- ly that the:center of the storm had passed north of our latitude. Besides, the Weath- er bureau here said so, the Navy said so, but an Army flyer, who declared he had penetrated :the center of the storm, main- tained that the center had not yet passed , || north of our latitude. A‘Weather Bureau man, discussing what the flyer had said, stated that he was willing to put ‘his faith in his bureau, the Navy’s report, and, above all, in the direction the wind was blowing toward ‘Key West. The Weather announcer in Miami subsequently gave the position of the cen- | ter as north of our latitude, but he order- ed hurricane warnings hoisted from K ey West to Fort: Myers. How he could reach that conclusion The .Citizen cannot de- termine. The only way the center could come our way from the position in which he had placed. it was for it to,turn due east, but he gave its forward movement as -north-northeastwardly. At 4:30 o’clock, at the Boca Chica air base, a radar beam located the center 50 miles northwest of Key West, which sub- 1947 | IMPROVEMENTS : ‘FOR KEY ‘WEST : “ADVOCATED ae THE CITIZEN Moré Hotels and Apattiouats: ‘Beach and Bathing :Pavilion.

BRITISH WOMEN KNIT Some ‘idea of the situation in Great Britain can be gained from the formation ef an organization of women to knit and sew goods for sale in dollar areas by a non-profit export company. Leading the women is the eighty-one year old Queen Mother Mary, who has already contributed six floral chair cov- ers, specifying that they be sold in a dol- lar area and that the money received be translated into. pounds and used _ for charity. Can the people of the United States imagine a situation in which women of | this country, led ‘by the wife of the Presi- dent, would undertake to knit. goods for export in order to secure credits in a foreign country for the purchase of nec- essary imports? | i OND) No sense and nonsense cause the most 1:00 accidents.

The. tone of the article might lead. the reader to believe that the teachers were asking -for something to which they had no right. It also seemed ‘to convey the idea that the Monroe County School Board, out of true generosity, was humoring the teachers by acceding to their demands: Monroe County teachers re- ceived from the School Board annual teacher contracts on August 1, 1947. These contracts stated ‘that teacher salaries would be paid in twelve equal installments falling due at the teachers, jend of each calendar month. During the first week of Sep- tember, teachers received their first ~pay checks which included compensation for only fourteen days. * Since contracts stipulated that salary payments were to be made in twelve equal installments, teachers protested to the School Board because the first check re-; ceived was in payment for only part of a month and therefore was in violation of the terms of the contract.

Unfortunately, ‘lment former “service men will ever make, veterans who seek GI loans should -be familiar with the problems and ‘responsibil- tities of Home ownership under many, veterans lack “adequate infor- mation about ‘the program. Here are the answers to a few questions about the most impor- tant’ aspeets of ‘the program: Q. Who lends money under the GI :bill? A. Private institutions lend: ithe money. The VA guarantees ta portion. of the loan, .usually helf of it. | Q. Who builds the ‘houses and who is responsible. for seeing that construction ..meets modern standards? A. The veteran and his lend- ing institution are solely re- sponsible for the type of house jto be built. ‘It is their responsi- bility to select- reputable archi- tects and contractors who will use the finest’ available material and labor. Q. Does the VA have inspec- tors to see that GI houses are well ‘built? A. No., Q. Does the VA employ ap- praisers to evaluate property for veterans? A. No. The VA does designate an appraiser to evaluate the property—usually only after construction is completed. This | appraiser is a reputable citizen of the community and is .not in the employ of the government. His fee is paid by the veteran interested.in buying the prop- erty. His job .is to see ‘that the sale price is “reasonable.” It is not his job ‘to ‘find (out:if:the: [sam is ‘the best ;possible. Q., Why ‘have ‘the appraiser? A. His appraisal iis accepted by ‘the VA. ‘His . responsibility is'{ to .protect ‘the -government -in its’ guarantee of ‘the ‘loan and ‘to; protect his ‘client, ‘the veteran, from unduly ‘high :priees iin «the, purchase of :the ‘home .of his, choice.
