Periodic safe driving contests, sponsored by the club and supervised by Wilder, have been held as part of the club’s activi- ties.

C ston THIS ROCK OF OURS By BILL GIBB Fred Dion is a mam I admire very much. He is smart as the dickens and gets his own way the majority of the time. He is honest can bet your last I don’t like the way Fred and his associates sort of shoved the Mallory Docks off on the City of Key West. It was entirely legiti- mate however. Fred has done a lot for Key West. He seems to have his fingers in half a dozen different pies pies around town -- all of them money makers. He keeps __his money at home, reinvests it, and makes more money. That is a lot better than many of our business men who make a few bucks and immediately sent it to Miami or New York for reinvestment be- cause they don’t have confidence for or love this Rock of ours.

He and Adams both stressed that the advent of tourists does not help motels and hotels only. Utili- ties, real estate and other year round businesses ar- the gainers 8 | when tourists come to town, Adams said. “President Harry $. Truman gave us thousands of dollars in advertising. He is now lost to us,” said Adams. “Now we must do our own rtising. We be- lieve in a big advertising pro- gram.” The Chamber tool kit, distribut- ed to each recruiter today, con- be right back where we started. CHRISTMAS Christmas is just around the corner now. I think the idea ad- vanced last week to spell the word correctly instead of “Xmas” is very good. For many people, the correct spelling has special signi- anaes and I’m ready to respect Personally, it makes little dif- ference to me how we_ spell Christmas, on what day it falls, or if we choose to call God, Jehovah, Yaweh, or anyone of a half dozen names, Nor does the fact that our Sundays are the first instead of the last day of the week make any difference. The spirit behind the entire situation is what counts. Christmas spelled in Greek, Chi- nese, or many other languages looks strange to us Americans. It isn’t a sign of irreverence though that those folks do not spell the word like we do. Still and all, I for one, am going to spell it the way an American expects to see it - CHRISTMAS. tains a list of officers of the group, the ten point program which is “an investment . . . not a cost,” achievements of the Chamber, and work of the staff in answering letter and in-person inquires. A kit containing six of the Chamber’s publications was also distributed. This kit says on the outside of it: “You can’t buy these things with Peanuts.” x The recruiters inspired by the talks and the group excitement left the Chamber with high re- solves to bring in the necessary 100. new members.

Injured Airman Reported Being On The Mend Now Ralph Placencia, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Placencia of this city, is now off the serious list at the Air Force hospita) in San Francisco, the Red Cross chapter said today. Mrs. Placencia flew out to be with her son several days. after he was injured by a plane propeller. Her presence is credited with marking the turning point of the boy’s recovery, his father said. The Red Cross in San Francisco has made all arrangements for Placencia. His mother is staying at} the Red Cross guest house in the city, according to the San Fran- cisco chapter. Mrs. Carola Nettles, local chap- ter secretary has been in constant touch with the Air Force since the} accident occurred. Navy Hospital Aids Snakebite Victim In Cuba The Navy here has told the story of flying North American anti- snake bite serum to Havana in response to a plea for aid. An urgent call from Captain William M. Rakow, U. S. Naval Attache of the American Embassy in Havana reached the hospital Monday afternoon at 1530. By 1600 the precious vials were flown by plane from Boca Chica to the stricken American citizen in Ha vana’s hospital. This is the second time within two months that the pharmacy was called to furnish snakebite serum. Neither of the instances involved military personnel.

Williamson, 610 White St., being the richer by $170. The difficulty with the station came up when their morning pro- gram “Party Line” called Mrs. Williamson for the answer to their quiz question. Although Mrs. Wil- liamson gave the answer which} agreed with the one given in the encyclopedias and reprinted in The Citizen, the station said she was wrong. Since that time, the station has been bombarded with letters from | Key Westers questioning their de-| cision. This morning came the} word that they have relented, and | Mrs. Williamson is to receive not only the $155 prize which was being offered on the day she answered | but also the additional $15 which has been added since that time. Special. thanks is due to Mrs. Marge Norviel, 2005 Fogarty Ave., who was the one to call The Citi- zen first and relay the answer. Mrs. Norviel followed through to | the extent of clipping the para- graph from her encyclopedia and! sending it to the station. The Williamson family consider this will be one of their best Christ- mas seasons, as Sgt. Williamson has just returned from overseas | duty and will spend the holidays | with his wife and daughter George |Ann..And the $170 is sure to be| }an added happy note.

Eddie V. Rickenbacker, president ard general manager of Eastern, said the strike was illegal and told the engineers they'd lose their jobs if they didn’t go back to work, “We don’t believe the company can fire us, we are not resigning and none of us is planning to go back to work,” said Jack Robert+ son, president of the Miami chap- ter of the union. Robertson said the engineers would go back to work if the com- |pany would grant them the same pay structure—not the same pay but the same rules for figuring it—that the pilots have. 4 CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the mai friends and neighbors for the rind. ness shown us during the recent ‘death of our husband and som James B.
