Page 10 Lower Keys School THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Saturday, August 30, 1952 Children Need Better School Bus Service Says Big Pine Man ASKS THAT SCHOOL BOARD ACT ON PROBLEM _Improved school bus service for children living on the Lower Keys who attend school in Marathon is urged by a parent, W. O. Blalock, in a letter to The Editor of The Citizen today. Blalock said that he thought the present bus driver does every- thing she can, the School Board must take some action to bring about home-pick up delivery of school youngsters, Blalock’s letter follows: “This letter is written only after all parties concerned have been contacted in an effort to work out some method for carrying children | to school at Marathon. Since this | attempt has failed, I would like | to bring it to the attention of the | general public to see if some solu- | tion can be arrived at to help us out.”” “I am a resident of Big Pine Key, having been for the past two years. This year a neighbor and | myself took our youngsters to | Marathon to register to attend the public school. We were told at this | time the school bus would come to the door of my home, pick up my | child, take her to school and re- turn her home in ‘the afternoon.” | “I was recently informed that board does not increase het remun- eration to take care of the addi- tional expense involved in the oper- ation of the bus,” that the Lower Keys are rapidly developing, that with this develop- ment more will eaee asec teh - Ht nice i children out to the i=! 2475 rf Bee BZ a Zz s je i ld 5 | er’s critical illness and the death * AF Sergeant Joins Tragedy Hit Family SIOUX CITY, Ia., W—A small, polio-stricken girl, unaware of the tragedy that has struck her fam- ily, eagerly awaited the visit today of her father who was flown here from a military transport at sea. The girl, 6-year-old Kathleen | Buggy, is in a Sioux City hospital ill of polio—the same disease that took the life of her younger broth- er last Tuesday. Her father, Air Force T. Sgt. Charles R. Buggy, joined his grief- stricken family here Friday night after a combined mercy flight by the Coast Guard and Air Force. The 28-year-old soldier plans to visit his daughter this afternoon after he and his wife, 26, go to their Winnebago, Neb., home to make funeral arrangements for their son. Kathy is unaware of her moth- m her 4-year-old brother Charles ir. Mrs. Buggy,’ now a frail 89 pounds after losing 31 pounds since March, has a spinal ailment. Surgeons have hesitated to operate unless her husband is at her bed- side. Her back was injured sev- eral years ago in an auto acci- dent. The grim-faced sergeant stepped off an Air Force B-25 here on the final leg of a relay race by air to speed him home. He was on rota- tion leave aboard the ‘ rt Gen. Alexander Patch en route to the U. S. when word reached the ship Thursday noon that he was to be taken off. Buggy was met at the Sioux City Air Force base by relatives.

Veterinarian Establishes Clinic Here Will Use Building Owned By Humane Society On Stock Island A full-time veterinarian has de- cided to establish a small animal clinic in Key West. The good news was announced today by Mrs. | George Mills White, president of the Humane Society ané long time crusader to obtain a graduate vet- erinarian so urgently needed in this area, The veterinarian is Dr. Paul Landrum, Jr., a Texan who is a graduate of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas which has one of the best veterinarian schools in the country. For some time he has been practicing in association with Dr, J. H. yar- Sorough of Miami. City Manager King and Mrs. Mills held several conferences with Dr. Landrum during the past week and the decision finds animal lov- ers and owners appreciatively ex- cited at the prospect of having a good, full-time veterinarian in the city. In the past, pet owners have had to travel to Miami when ser- ious ailments afflicted their ani- mals. Officials of the Humane Society and other townspeople have been pulling for proper veterinarian ser- vice for years. For the present, Dr. Landrum will use a building owned by the Humane Society at their new site adjacent to the County Home on Stock Island. Eventually, he hopes to build an animal hospital, LT.

Long negotiations between the Eastern carriers and 17 non-ope- rating unions ended Friday night with an agreement giving the un- ions their demands. Spokesmen said that there were important qualifications to the agreément, letting some groups of workers out of the requirement that they become union members. The extent of these exemptions was not immediately determined. However, a rail management spokesman said the agreement closely followed an emergency board’s recommendation several months ago suggesting complete union membership for all the one million non-operating rail workers. A number of the Eastern car- riers already have the union shop agreement. They include the ‘New York Central, Baltimore and Ohio, | Reading, Lehigh Valley and Lack- awanna Railroads. So this means that only a por- tion of the estimated 400,000 non- operating employes of the Eastern. carriers will now come under the union shop proviso for the first time, the others having been cov- | ered previously. The emergency board, named by | President Truman, recommended that all the nation’s railroads ne- gotiate an iron-clad union shop agreement with all the non-operat- ing unions in a single set of ne- gotiations. However, the Southeastern rail- roads refused to talk over the mat- ter at all with the unions, and the Western carriers have negotiated with some reluctance. V.F.W.
