All ef-us.in the business life in Key West have much Yor which-to. be thankful during this year. As for The Ci- tizen, it made its greatest strides of progress during 1951. The Citizen not only grew in size and in the volume of its advertising, but it also installed machines that are essen- | tiak in the life of a modern newspaper. Outstanding among improvements in The Citizen’s composing room are the photoengraving machine and the teletypesetter. Both are wonderful inventions, so much so it is hard for one to determine which is the more wonder- fuli:Somebody, operating a machine in Jacksonville, or farther away, for that matter, sets type in The Citizen’s composing room. Wonderful? But is it any more wonder- ful that taking your photograph, putting it on a machine and having it reproduced, trve in every detail, for publica- tienin The Citizen. To these improvements that The Citizen in stride with fast-growing Key West, short- ly will be added a rotary press, capable of printing a page paper at one time at a rate of 20,000 an hour * Credit for improvements in The Citizen is due to the people of Key West.

The swept - wing B-52 is powered vith eight J-57 Pratt & Whitney engines, mounted in pairs near the middie and toward the outboard end of each of the knife - like wings. There has been some unof- | icial speculation that these newly jeveloped engines produce consid- erably more than 7,000 pounds thrust each. The use of the Air Force-ap— oroved name “Stratofortress” had significance in connection with the jet engines. Jets operate more 2conomically, at high altitudes. Thus, in their role of long range, strategic bombers they would have |‘o fly at high altitudes for opera- tional as well as tactical reasons.

Docs Something ‘Different In °5] By HAL BOYLE | NEW YORK #—Wilbur Peeble \is the kind of guy who puts every- | thing off to the last minute. Looking up from his evening paper in surprise, he said to his , wife: “Why, it’s New Year's Eve to- night, Trellis Mae! And we haven't | ‘made any plans. What would you like to do, honey?” “What would you like to do?’ she parried “Oh. I don’t know,” said Wil- bur. “Let's do something different for a change.” | “You want to do something dif- }ferent for a change?’ she mused. “Well, let’s see. Remember when |college bovs across the country | were swallowing goldfish?, At a |New Year's Eve party that year you went 4o the icebox and tried to swallow a three-pound trout.” Wilbur said nothing, but coughed | a httle. The: mere memory of that | episode always made his throat i feel sore. “1 will skip over the New Year's | Eve of 1947, when you picked that | ftight..with ‘the policeman,” said, Trellis. Mae. “Let's take 1948. H-m-m+m. We went to a night club : and you loaned to a total) | Stranger fram Keokuk, and we ended up walking home because | you didn’t have taxi fare.” i | Wilbur flushed ‘and chomped | ‘noisily. on his breakfast toast. ' “In 1949 we went to your boss's | house,” continued his wife, ‘and | you did that tight rope walking ; | aet of yours across the top of the | sofa. Everybody laughed. . . but| jthe boss didn’t laugh when you | | fell off and broke the floor lamp.” ! |. Wilbur put down his fork. He | }no longer felt hungry. | “And last year,”’ came the piti- less voice of his wife, ‘“‘we had ‘a party here. You invited a dozen People I never heard of, and you jarrived four hours late yourself | with a fellow you met at a bar} |and felt sorry for because he was | | alone.” ‘ i “{ don't remember him at all,’’} ; mumbled Wilbur. “Of course, you do,’ prodded Trellis ‘Mae. “He was the gentle- ‘man who kept throwing firecrack- jers because he said New Year's Eve always gave him a Fourth of July feeling.” | “How did I know he had fire- ‘erackers in his pocket?” said Wil- | bur. “Anyway, why do you always have. to put everything down in a j little black book? It isn't fair.” Trellis, Mae closed the book. “AN right,"’ she said, ‘I just wanted to refresh your memory. You‘said you wanted to do some- thing different this year. Well, what'll it be? Shall we go to the zoo and shoot a polar bear?” Wilbur walked over and pecked her on the cheek. | “Aw,” he said, “‘let’s just stay home tonight all by ourselves, Trellis Mae, and watch the new |year come in together.” “That'll be a real change, my dear,” said his wife, and gave him a warm kiss and sent him off to ; work, Then she pulled out her lit- tle black book and wrote a single word in it: “Victory!
