Some of them also recalled what our weather-man, | Sam Goldsmith, had said, in expressing his opinion to The Citizen. Namely, he did not think this summer would be as warm as last year’s. : Along comes the United States Weather Bureau to confirm, for a month at least, what Goldsmith had said. In a long-range forecast, covering a month, Washington headquarters, after speaking about probable weather conditions throughout the nation, ended its forecast last Tuesday with these words: “.... and near normal in New England, Florida and along the Gulf Coast.” If we get that “near normal” weather in Key West, and we are more likely to get it, because of our location, than any other part of Florida, then our heat will be sev- eral degrees lower than it was during last summer. Without naming other cities in Florida, because comparisons may seem to be a “knock”, residents who keep a check on weather conditions noted recently that we had lower temperatures than those that prevailed in most of Florida’s other cities. ' Humidity plays a major role in warm weather. For that reason it is hard for us to understand reports about the distress that is caused by temperatures of 90 degrees in mainland cities. There, land breezes, coming from areas just as warm or warmer, do not temper the warmth and may add to the humidity, whereas, every breeze that blows in Key West, regardless of the direction, comes | from the sea. People in other parts of the country, who know noth- ing about Key West, other than it is the southernmost city in the United States, believe, because of its being farthest south, our temperatures are the highest. But that conclusion is far from the truth. A good many cities in the United States have temperatures of 100 degrees or higher. The highest temperature in Key West, as record- ed in the Weather Bureau here in 65 years, was 95, and that occurred on August 8, 1951, a year of an exception- ally warm summer for Key West. Weather Bureau records also show that the average eummer temperatures in Key West during 65 Years is 84 A sign of good public servant fs ability to make good use of modern avenues of publicity, SLICE OF HAM “HOW'S THE WIFE AND KIDS BACK IN COMMANDERE™ Publisher | ey 4 i Harris School Graduating Class OVER 60 STUDENTS WERE GRADUATED from the Harris Elemen The class, shown above, received their diplomas from principal Randolph Russell.

They look alike. | His strong facial resemblance to Gen. “Ike” Eisenhower has been one long comedy of errors to Rel- man (“Pat”) Morin, Pulitzer Prize ; winning reporter for The Assgciated Press. It began nine years ago when Pat was first mistaken for Ike. | And it has gone on intermittently ever since, as Pat has spent a good part of those years reporting the varied activities of Ike in war j and peace’ for Ike when they are apart, they {mistake Pat for Ike's younger | brother when the two are at the same event.

Ike is tall, balding and 62 | The first instance of this “look alike’’ trouble cost Pat the annoy jance of a King | “It happened in a French village outside Bizerte during the tour of the North African battlefront made by the late King George VI in 1943,"" Pat recalled “I was among a group of eight or 10 reporters assigned to travel in his motorcade. Several of us were in the motor car immediately behind the King’s “While King George was being greeted by the village officials Frenchman in the crowd looked in our car, spotted me, and cried ‘Look, there's Gen. Eisenhower, toot Part of the crowd began surg ing excitedly around us.

The pair, one of whom still sur vives, were obtained by the uni versity 13 years ago at the con clusion of the World Poultry Congress in Cleveland. Since then the poultry science depart ment has been busy experiment- ing to produce geese which are | good layers and in which the sex may be determined by the markings. Prof. E. L. Dakan, originator of the project that whoever coined the expression, “Silly as says a goose,” didn’t know what he was talking baout. He also say geese are miserable when left alone but in fl s they “gab like a group of girls at a freshman| hop.” Mf, ] a ” aretessness POMPANO \.® — A guard at the Pompano State Road camp from ! which seven prisoners escaped Sunday night fired here for “carelessness the night watch.

I’ve had enough of it; Let the young kids carry the load from gow on, They can take the blame if the picture flops. Besides, acter roles are much more fun to do.” Kelly, who is currently playing a frontier character in ‘Rough- | shod,’ said he intends to stick to pictures for the present. Born in Brooklyn, he’s a naturalized Cali- fornian ard wants to enjoy the sunshine. He figures he can make more money in a shorter time by working in films, although plays sometimes pay off more in the long run. I asked him how his Broadway fame affected film producers. “Not very much,” he replied, “except in the money, Every time I do a show and come back here, they seem willing to pay me more money.”” Aside from his picture work, Kel- ly is embarking on a television series. It will be a filmed version of the career of Clinton Duffy, former warden of San Quentin. . . . Bob Hope will be on his guard | tonight when he does the telethon with Bing Crosby and others for the benefit of the Olympic Games Fund. Hope learned a lesson when he did another telethon a few weeks ago for cerebral palsy. The TV stage was somewhat confused, with performers walk ing all around and ad libbing their parts. At one point, Hope intro- duced an actor and then walked away. Suddenly there appeared be- fore the camera a singer who burst into song, accompanied by a pianist. After a few off - key bars of “Without a Song,” some- one decided something was wrong, and the cameras were switched elsewhere Hope said nobody ever found out the who unannounced baritone review: “Carrie” is an- © attempt at tragedy in face of an audience seeking Whether the film will audience remains to be t is an artful picture y acted and directed, and al to those interested done drama.

I called the local Welfare Board and sure enough, there is a fraud committee. But it is de- voted to trying to catch people who udulently apply for re- lief other types of welfare. The four members in District 9, are: Thomas B. Duff, chairman, Philip Bari, Glen Bludworth, and H. Meador, Boy! that news release sure had we worried for awhile be- cause I was thinking of the re- cent scandals of the Internal Revenue Dept., and figui.d that here was another department about to start operations openly. Royal Poincianas The most beautiful sight on the Island today are the flaming poinciana trees. Especially when they are near the water's edge and are framed against the deep blue of the ocean, | “Miami has its Poinctana Festi- val each year,” says Mrs. Jennie DeBoer. “Key West ought to have something of a like nature.” I'm inclined to agree ‘with her. We don't capitalize enough en our bounty from Nature. One of the reasons President Truman became so captivated with Key West and made it his winter residence was because of the beauty of the flowers—es- pecially the “Flame Tree” or ‘“Royal Poinciana.” RENT FORUM (These questions were selected | frei those often asked of the local | rent office.
