The box, however, proved to be too small to hold the dolphin, and as a consequence his head was left out of the box. This proved a fatal mistake, and it ap- peared that the dolphin was the first to realize it, since he started thrashing around in the box, and soon had the lid raised enough to where he could flop out. Realizing what was happening the skipper of the boat, grapped the dolphin behind the head, with a firm grip. The persons in the party said it appeared as though the dolphin was standing ip fighting like a man, until fin- hit the boat’s captain in the face, forcing him to release his grip. The fish flopped op the box, and with a lunge was over board and into the sea What a fish tale the dolphin must have told when he finally eached home Fish Four At A Time We have the photograph to prove it, furnished by the Key ally he college. In the year 1947, there were only 6,389 graduates from the 77 medical colleges in the United States. That meant that, although the present shortage of doctors is one of the most vital health problems in this country, the ranks of the medical profession are not being increased by a sufficient number to provide adequate medical care to our growing population. This .week\I introduced’ d bill in the house which would pro- vide federal aid fof the con- struction and expansion of medi- cal colleges. If passed, the bill would authorize the expansion of twenty million dollars during each of the next three years to expand existing public and non- profit medical colleges, and to aid in the construction of new medical colleges in states and areas where none now exist. Each state would receive an allotment on a population basis and, to the extent of such allotment, fifty per cent of the cost of the pro- ject (whether it be the expansion of an existing school of the con- struction of a new one) would be paid by the federal gvernment. Such programs are already in effect to help build and maintain our highway systems and air- ports. It sems to me the safe- guarding of the nation’s health is even more worthwhile and deserving of federal assistance. Last week I introduced a bill to provide federal help by a method of long term government loans for ~ students « desiring: a medical education. Providing the financial means for students to receive medical schooling would not be sure if there are no schools West Photo Service, to show just available for those students to what we mean. at one time.

Just goes to show that there can be no end of surprises for the fishermen in this area. Photos For Publicity ‘ No request of this column to Jeff Broadhead and Bobby, Braun of the Key West Photo Service has ever been denied. Prints to send to home town pa- {pers of fishers in this area have | been furnished as fast as humane- ly possible.

Tournament Committee | Meets Tonight | The Island City Fishing Tour- night at the Jay Flagler Avenue to judge winners | for the first quarter contest. Four sting rays attend. Consequently, the bill which I have introduced this week is for the purpose of sup- plementing my medical educa- tional assistance bill. The two bills, if passed, would; first, pro- vide a sufficient number of medical colleges for those desir- ing to enroll; and, secondly, would enable worthwhile —stu- dents to attend those schools to become doctors.
