Gutted Warehouse Being Razed For Parking Lot SAUNDERS WHOLESALE OCCUPIED IT UNTIL 44 FIRE The former Saunders Wholesale building at Truman and Grinnell is being demolished o make way for a large parking lot for Dick’s Tire Service, it was !earned today. The poured concrete, two story building, is a delicate demolition job. Dynamite cannot be used be- cause of the nearby _ buildings. Care is being exercised with all |’ equipment to protect the neighbor- ing establishments. : The landmark was gutted by fire in 1944 following 28 years of occupancy by the wholesale firm. B. C. Papy and partners took over and kept merchandize there until it was destroyed. Among the valuable articles that went in the 1944 fire were 10,000 FERA pam- phlets on Key West, and hundreds of water colors and other art ob- jects done by FERA and WPA artists. Founder of Saunders Wholesale firm were T, A,. Lumley and Charles Saunders, The building and land are now owned by Gables Home Inc.,. from whom Dick’s Tire Service is renting the pro- perty for a parking lot. His store is at present on Tru- man Avenue on part of the pro- perty. He has a frontage of 81 feet on Truman and will now lease land running back 178 feet on Grinnell for his store use. The City of Key West condemned the gutted old building about three months ago. It has been a com- bination of warehouse and apart- ments. Demolition teams are building scaffolds and knocking down the building. The razing of the old warehouse becomes one . more change in the Key West picture. Plantation Key Channel Permit To Be Sought Application has been made to the Department of the Army by Mrs. Elizabeth Aikens, care of G. A, Crawshaw, Box 1221, Home- stead, Florida, for a permit to dredge a channel, and to con- struct a breakwater, in Hawk Channel, at applicant's property, a portion of lot 2, Plat of the Estate of J. K. Pinder, on Planta- tion Key, Monroe County, Florida. The applicant proposes to dredge a channel approximately 20 feet wide and 4 feet deep, extending into the waterway approximately 500 feet from the shore toward Hawk Channel. The northeasterly edge of the channel would be about 35 feet inside applicant's northeasterly property line as ex- tended, and parallel thereto, The dredged material would be de- posited on the northeasterly side of the proposed channel to form a breakwater. Plans of this work may be seen at the office of the District En- gineer, Corps of Engineers, 575 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida, and at the office of the Resident Engineer, Corps of En- gineers, foot of Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida.

BLAKESLEE AP Science Reporter DENVER (®—Death without dy- ing, is becoming fairly commyn. It always used to mean death when your heart stopped during an ‘operation. But now this heart-stoppage no longer means that the patient has | really died, Dr. Sanford E. Leeds, | surgeon of the University of Cali- | fornia Medical School in San Francisco, told the American Med- | ical Associat'on today. | By quick tzeatment, the person | with a heart and breathing sys- | tem which are in fairly good con- dition can be revived. Giving oxy- gen, reaching the héart to mas- | sage it, using stimulant drugs and electric shock can start’ the heart up again. | It must be done quickly, before | stoppage of blood flow to the brain | causes irreparable damage. Dr. Gerald Frumess, dermatolo- gist of the University of Colorado Medical School told the AMA a Person’s skin can give you tips about his emotions. By muscle control, you may be able to keep your face from show- ing what you feel, he said. But you can’t repress skin changes. These changes include blushing and the cold sweat of fear. Some skin changes or disorders may be the unconscious result of unrequited love, or lack of love. Severe itchiag and rubbing that removes skin may be a way of saying, ‘Stop picking on me.” There are several events that bring about skin troubles due to emotions, Dr. Frumess said: Excitement, hostility and embar- rassment may cause excess re- lease of a nerve chemical that stimulates nerve fibers leading to the sweat glands. Result is flush- ing of the skin, oil secretion, sen- sations of itching, or hives. Fear and anxiety may liberate another chemical that causes pal- lor, coldness, sweating, numbness, and crawling sensations. Under sponsorship of the associ- ation, television audiences were taken last night into the ward of a psychiatric hospital, a hospital specializing in heart disease and another where cancer is treated. The telecast, scheduled by NBC for 68 stations, was called the larg- est for a single network in history. From Los Angeles County Hos- pital, the Tv.eameras showed the beating of a human heart and heart diagnoses techniques. Scenes from Johns Hopkins at Baltimore, Md., showed a chant- ing auctioneer whose cancerous jaw was removed by surgery and another built in its place. A patient recently recovered from a mental illness and anotlier under treatment were shown from Colorado Psycopathic Hospital in Denver.
