THE SOUTHERNMOST NEWSPAPER IN THE U.S. A. VOL. LXXII. No. 88 arbonell Asks Ministers KEY WEST, FLORIDA, or Opportunity To Address heir Group On On Open Town’ Declares Key West Has No ‘Real’ Gambling Louis Carbonell, city commissioner, today asked the Key West Ministerial Association for an oppor- tunity to address the body on the subject of an “open town.” Carbonell asked that he be heard before judgement is passed. The city commissioner wants to make it clear that he is oposed to ‘thoodlums’ and ‘racketeers’. And if they ever come to Key West—he will be the first to drive them out. “When people say they are against an ‘open town’, are they also against churches and charit- able organizations raising funds by raffles, cards; bingo?” “Let’s take the Navy Charity Carnival? Where did the Money. go? Every dime. was. given to some worthy cause, such as the Red Cross, Polio, Cancer and other fine organizations. “One civic organization raffled an automobile in order to’ re! brant wt 4 money for x-ray Monroe Gace “If the town were closed, and the law strictly enfroced, all of this would have to stop. "I sincerely believe we do not have any ‘real’ gambling in Ker Wost. What we have can termed simply “ ‘ekichon nes” “This question of gambling has been brought up many times in city commission meetings, The game man who brings the matter up at the meeting, forgets all abput it at termination of ‘the affair. Nothing is ever done. “Once again, I'd like to ask the Ministerial Assocation for the opportunity of addressing their body on what I mean by a liberal policy, and an ‘ open town’: “I hope that they will grant me this request.” Ministerial Assn.

K. Langford Givés Examples Of Improper Methods Of Food Handling In an interview this morning, Dr. E. K. Langford, Monroe county health officer, gave a few examples of improper methods of food handling which one finds frequently in restaurants and bars. He called attention to the fact that customers served from.a lip- stained glass or cup seldom re- turn. This being but a small. sign that one of the many steps in the preparation of food and bever- ages has been neglected.

Pr. Langford calls attention to the fact that a swanky - front, veautitul equipment, and showy uniforms and menus do not make a restaurant the best and safest place to cat.. Only informed and ntious operators, trained and supervised food handlers, and above all, an aware and yigilant public is essential to prevent the} transmission of disease in our public cating and drinking places.

Roberts, is being postponed until Sunday on the chance, that his brother may fly from the battlefront in Korea for the services. Hicks’ widow, ‘Virginia Wil- liams Hicks, 23, told The Citizen today that her husband’ has an- other brother who has been report ed missing in Korea since Jan- uary. Mrs. Hicks. said: “The last time I saw my hus- band, he and the other men were still tied to the piling out at Boca Chica beach. I never saw them drift out to sea at all. “I was on the beach with Mrs. R. J. Caspar, my children and John Puopolo. When it began rain- ing we and a neighbor sat in our car for shelter. “At about 3:45 we drove to the point and saw my husband, his uncle and the other two men, stil} fishing from their boat, tied to the piling. “My. wv nd loves tw fish— and doesn't like to stop when he gets started. “About half an hour later we ie} vent back to tell them it was time ito go home. “We looked and they were gone. | We tried to geta boat from near- by. We went to Mac’s Junchroom. We were told to wait awhile be- fore notifying the Coast Guard—} that the men might show up. “We waited on the beach look- ing for any sign of the men. We} saw an obiect out-in the occan} but couldn't make out what it was. “At 7:45 John Puopole notified the operations officer at Boca Chica of the missi boat. Mrs. Caspar and I waited in the car outside Boca Chica e. He was gone about 45 minutes.” When he returned Puopolo told the women that they had been advised by the Coast Guard to go out to the point where they had last seen the men and blink their ear head lights five times. The Coast Guard boat searching for the missing men would answer in the same way. “It took us until 10 to get a re- ponse from the Coast Guard boat. Then they discontinued the search about 2 o'clock.” Meanwhile Mrs. Hicks went home and tried to rest. Sleeping |Legion Post Will REP. POSEPH W.
