Page 12 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Friday, November 14, 1952 Bir d S on Rotary Hears Evans Speak On USO Work USO work was the theme of the @hief speaker, Dick Evans, head of the organization here, when he addressed the Rotary Club at their | regular luncheon meeting held yes- terday shortly after noon. Evans outlined the history of the USO beginning February 4, 1941, when it was decided by the War Department that activities of YM CA, YWCA, and other groups in @ssociation for the Armed Forces, should combine efforts. Evans said that after World War II was over, the activity died down, but that with the draft in 1948 and in 1951, when the Korean War ex- panded, the agencies were re- Organized over the United States and extends to Alaska, Korea and the Euro- pean and Pacific areas. USO is a national organization, Evans explained, but local per- sonnel and local cooperation utilized to provide recreational activity for men and women in the service. ~ “We try to help with problems, including the spiritual, getting ac- quainted and getting settled in new localities, and with recreation,” said, with emphasis on the latter. “The reason we don’t have great spiritual and religious problems is because local clergymen and wel- fare workers take capable charge. Our biggest problem is that of | finding recreational for service personnel.” Evans gave a sound financial re- | Port of the local USO organizations, a breakdown of the departmental expenditures and the programs pre-* sented. He also told of the $33,000 ex- pansion work on the new building here for USO Projects. The meat of his talk was to inspire citizens | to help in providing other outlets | for servicemen so as to include | making friends with a better ele-| ment. “Impressions of a commu-| nity are gained by the people they | | know,” Evans said. He emphasiz- | ed friendship, especially for those new to the unsettled routine of being in the country’s armed for- ces. Evans cited figures to underscore | activity The work reaches all | is | he | Today’s Stock Market NEW YORK — Stock prices moved unevenly higher in today’s | market.

The court ruled the legislature | rightfully exercised the police pow- er of the state in prohibiting trans- | mission of racing information dur- | ing the period beginning one hour | before the first race of ‘any day jand ending 30 minutes after the |posting of the official results of each race. | The Supreme Court’s opinion, jwritten by Justice Glenn Terrell, | reversed a ruling by the Dade County Criminal Court of Record jin which Judge Ben C. Willard threw out a charge against Benny I. Ucciferri that he violated the 30-minute rule on ‘communicating the result of a Tropieal Park race, Jan. 4 Ucciferri contended the time limitation violated his constitution- ‘al right of free speech. The legislature declared in adop- ting the act it was for the pro- | tection of the morals of the people and “we are enjoined to construe it liberally for that purpose,” Jus- tice Terrell wrote. “The purpose of the statute was not to inhibit the giving of racing information to the public as news, but to prohibit its use for an un- | lawful purpose that is to say, bookmaking,” the court said. “After the time limit expires,’ \the information becomes public property and is no longer valuable for bookmaking purposes, “The difference between private wire service and the same service furnished by news periodicals is one of speed and - organization | whereby the information secured jean be placed in the hands of the | purchaser and used for gambling | purposes before it is published and becomes. public property. “Except for this element, the | ‘bookie’ business would not be profitable, and doubtless would not exist.” SCHOOL EXPERTS (Continued from Page One) sions with primary teachers, | grades one through three at Tru- | man school Thursday at 2:15 p.m. At 3:15 all teachers will” meet with Robert Gates, who is the state’s consultant in education for exceptional children, On Friday at 2:15 all teachers of kindergarten and first grade will meet with these experts on the job of coordinating curricula of the two groups. | BRITISH LEADER ILL Anxiety was expressed today for | the seriously ill chairman of the Conservative party, Lord Woolton, who suffered a relapse last night.
