Voting Still Goes On For Top Player d It’s still not too late to get your wote in for the outstanding Key ‘West High School football player of 1952. The selection of the player to re- ceive this award given by Pollock’s Quality Jewelers, is to be made by the football fans. The method of selection was suggested by the Quarterback Club and the football coaches. | Balloting may be done by means of the printed ballot to be found on page 1 of The Citizen today, or bal- lots may be picked up at Pollock’s store. They were also distributed to the fans at last night's ball game. Interested persons may deposit their ballots in the box at Pollock’s, 508 Duval, by Monday night. The ballots will be counted, and the awards made at a later meeting of the Quarterback Club. | Ballots must have the signature | and address of the person voting an the name or sweater number of the | player chosen. Incomplete ballots will not be counted. The winner of the award will re- eeive the Pollock Award of a 17 jewel Longines — Wittnauer wrist- watch, and the runner-up will re-| ceive a 17-jewel Evans waterproof wristwatch, both contributed by! Pollock's. The store is also awarding $20 tift certificates to the most valu- able player, the best blocker and the best tackle based on the choice of the other team members. Pollock’s has also made a con- tribution to the enjoyment and smoother operation of the football | games by supplying the large clock timer on the scoreboard and also the stopwatches for the officials to use in the timing of the games. | Smathers Makes Suggestions To Newspapermen | continue. to use his oversize nude business neighbors like it or not.

Village Reverts To Old Ways, But Memory Lingers By LEONARD LEDDINGTON MATCHING GREEN, Eng. ®#— Matching Green was one of those big bases carved out of the coun tryside in World War II. A thousand GIs built it. Many thousands more roamed its miles winding roads and flew off from runways towaru Germany. It was a big noisy base.

The big turnover in Washington | brought about by Ike’s victory has started already, Godwin said. “Unlike any President that I can remember, and I have been | covering them since 1908, the Gen- | eral is announcing his appoint- | ments long before he takes office. | This means that he has stolen the | play away from.

I don’t; think we have ever had such a! string of appointments of these people who have been chafing un- der the economics of the new and the square deal. I don't know what they're going to do but they all have a new look.” The trend in Washington will be away from the welfare state, God. win believes.

(at Fleming) Department of Agriculture have a more problematical future, God- win said. “A depression may come natural- ly, but at least we know more how to bulwark ourselves against economie storms,” he said “I have a high regard for Gen eral Eisenhower, and think he'll do a fine job, particularly on this visit to Korea which will be a great morale builder.” Korea is more on the minds of the American people than any other problem, Godwin has found through his huge mail on the sub- ject. It is mentioned constantly in the 200 to 300 letters a day he receives for his TV show which had good coverage over the East ern part of the USA.. The General's visit will also boost morale of the South Koreans who are waging their struggle with U. S. aid. tt is im Washington, however, that the major changes are being felt, Godwin said. Many “under- Ground Republicans” are new making their party affiliation known for the first time. Law firms are hunting fe: a good Repur acuak aon ie deer amy of tne ioe a name Se yers in Washington are former Democratic office holders. Even Washington society will undergo a radical change with the advent of a Republican adminis- tration for the first time in 20 years, + “It will be interesting to see how the capital’s leading hos- tesses, Mrs. Pearl Mesta and Mrs. Morris Kafritz, function under the Republican banner, Though General Eisenhower has declared himself for the simple life, his administration is being in- augurated by some of the most eleburate social plans in decades. $300 tickets to the inaugural ball and other signs of the fat years are in the offing. These are not of Ike’s making, but are the work of the men around him. Mamie Eisenhower too, will make the atmosphere of the White House dif- ferent from her predecessors, One man appointed this week by the President-to-be Particularly pleases Godwin. He is Maj. Gen. Wilton B. Persons, retired, named Ike’s special assistant. Godwin watched Persons’ excellent liason work between the General Staff and Congress all through World War II. “He is a good officer and did a great deal for Gen. Marshal and Eisenhower during the war. He always planted a good seeu, If Ike gets many men like Persons it is going to be a fine adminis- tration. This and other appoint- ments shows that the new Presi- dent is not picking out any gangs- ters.” Godwin, who has been president of the White House ccrrespondents for two terms also approves of the appointment of James C. Hag- erty as presidential press secre- tary. “The pattern of press relations of this administration may follow the others. Every new gover ment is friendly to newsmen. Then the time comes when the. press secretary must defend his boss against the probing press. and that’s when trouble begins,” Godwin says. Commenting on Presidential press relations, the commentator said. “Roosevelt didn't handle the press, he hypnotized it. Hoover be- | fore him had bad press relations. | He favored a few correspondents | but felt that the newsmen were nagging him.” Truman's press relations have been very fine, though the Chief | did. | hope can be held for either com “Srestone Store [New | Comes To Key West By JAXON It may come as a big to some, and no surprise 4 to others that the big new Fire- stone Store on the site of the old = Smith Grocery is being opened) 2. under the ownership of none Y other than Mr. Hastings C.
