Community Auditorium, eS COST OF DEATH DOWN The Atomic Scientists’ News, an English monthly magazine, reports that the per capita cost of exterminat- ing human beings is going down. In other words, there is a deflationary trend in the business of exterminating hu- man beings, The British magazine estimates that, in another two years, the cost of extermination will be down to $2.80 per person. This will be made possible by an increase in the supply of atomic fuel, which will provide material enough to permit production of some 6,000 atomic bombs a year. Whereas each atomic bomb can annihilate 25,000 persons, the ordinary high explosive bomb, which has been used for decades, will kill only a fraction of that number. And the cost of each death, by the ordinary high explosive bomb, is several times $2.80. Now that it appears that the hydrogen bomb is on the horizon, we might look forward to an even further reduc- tion in this field. One could conclude that the inflationary problem in the human extermination business has been licked, although we can hardly describe this as a cheerful financial trend. It is also interesting to note that those who predicted that the cost of waging atomic and hydro- gen bomb warfare would become prohibitive a year or two ago, are now confronted with the fact that human extermination, via atomic or hydrogen bomb methods, is fast Recoming one 4 the eheapen ways to die. LIFE AFTER FORTY Dr. H. C. Lehman, of Ohio University, recently told the American Psychological Association and Gerontologi- cal Society, that men over forty are more successful in Positions of \eadership than are those under forty. He Pointed out chat the Presidents of the United States aver- aged between fifty-five and fifty-nine years of age, prior to the term of the present Chief Executive, Leaders in industry and business average sixty to eighty-nine years of age. College presidents average fifty to fifty-four. Ambassadors average sixty to sixty-four, and Supreme Court Justices, seventy to seventy-four, Dr. Lehman pointed out that occupations requiring individual creativity depend on men in their thirties, In the field of science and research, the younger men are the more creative. But positions of leadership, such as those mentioned above, require an insight of other people and apparently older men are better qualified in this respect, Thus, while today’s world may bea “young man’s world,” it is the age group between fifty and eighty-nine which makes most of the major decisions in education, foreign policy and law. 1 2. 3.

PROTESTS BIRD KILLING Editor, The Citizen: aan I wish to protest against the wanton, senseless killing of birds in this city, Several early ai ps found a large paper sac! bird corpkes spilling out of it and thrown away in the vacant lot close to the sidewalk on Duval Street between United and South Streets. I called Mrs. Frances Hames, the bird expert in our local Monroe County Audubon Society, to identify the halfdecom- posed birds, hence this delay in writing. There were three red- breasted Mergansers (a kind of duck) and one Coot or American Scoter. I can understand killing for food if one is starving but killing just to kill is beyond me and frightens me. If we cannot have compassionate feeling for all living things then we cannot have it for mankind and that leads to a very black picture indeed. Please let us study the birds who do us no harm but goo. Let us give them water and *sanctuary and help ourselves to a better community and a better world. Sincerely, (Miss) Hilda 8. Cunniff HOSPITAL PRAISED Editor, The Citizen, Your Monroe General Hospital on Stock Island and its doctors and nurses deserve a commenda- tion for the speedy and efficient care they gave an emergency patient on Monday, November 24, 1952. A five year old girl fell from her mother’s automobile ontc the highway at Marathon and suffered severe and, apparently, critical injuries to her head. I was driving to Key West and picked up the mother and child and rushed them to the hospital. I was very much impressed with the way the child was promptly admitted to the emergency room, her head shaved, X-rays made, and stitches taken -- all without | any question or discussion of when | or how the hospital was to be paid for its services. When I left, the mother had been advised that the child should remain in the hospital indefinitely for observa | tion and treatment, but up te that | time not one word had been spoken | of money, | Some hospitals have been eri- | ticized for risky delay in treat-| ment of emergency cases pending satisfactory financial arrangements and, naturally, it does cost money | to operate a hospital. | Tt was gratifying to see how the | ors and nurses at your Mon-/ Toe General Hospital went right to | work taking care of this little girl. I presume the question of money was taken up later and I hope the parents will be in a position , to pay for the fine service. Sincerely, John R. Fean, Assistant Manager Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. BOOKIE ARRESTED IN COUNTY BUILDING CHICAGO @ — Police Capt | Kyrao Phelan Thursday arrested {2 litde old man whom he described as the busiest person in the Jodby , j with acceptin, Back Of Many Holiday Dolls By DOROTHY ROE Associated Press Women’s Editor This is a Christmas story for grown-ups who remember the spe- cial thrill of a Christmas doll. For 29 years the person responsi- ble for some of the most resplen- dent dolls in Santa’s annual pack has been a small, brighteyed wo- man named Mme. Beatrice Alex- ander. She never has outgrown her own love for dolls, and that may be the reason she is considered | tops in her field. Mme. Alexander can’t remer:- ber a time when dolls were not an important part of her life. Her parents ran the first doll hospital in New Yorl, and little Beatrice used to like to make dresses for the convalescent dolls. She contin- ued this habit after she grew up, and progressed naturally into the business of manufacturing dolls. ‘You may remember some of her more famous doll-people. One of the all-time best-sellers in doll his- tory was her series of Dionne quintupletolls, which followed the progress gf the five little sisters each year until they were 5. Currently her little women and little men are the prizes of many young doll collectors, as is her Alice in Wonderland, who looks as if she had stepped straight out of a Tenniel drawing. In less classical vein, Mme. Alex- ander makes plenty of strictly ; modern dolls, such as Maggie, the teen-age doll, who wears long nylon stockings, a real girdle and bra jand the latest styles of the teen set, including skirt, blouse and cinch belt. Among the lingerie and aces- sories that come in the dell ward- robes are real suede slippers, sad- die shoes, hats packed in their own boxes, nylon slips and panties and even a taffeta shoe bag, to-hold three pairs of slippers and one pair of boots. All the doll elothes are made with infinite attention to detail— tiny buttons and real buttonholes, dainty lace edgings on petticoats, costume jewelry scaled to size, shoes made like those worn by real little girls. Wigs are of a special woven plastic fiber that shines like real hair just after a shampoo, can |be washed, combed and curled without damage. It’s a safe bet that her next production will be a royal doll in honor of the coronation. Says she: “I suppose T should retire, but I can’t—I have so much fun all the time, with my family of dolls.” States last week end after deliver- ing a speech here in which he criticized U. S. economic policy in the Middle East. A former vice president of the Chase National Bank, Locke has been acting as a special represen- tative of Secretary of State Dean Acheson in charge of American technical aid to Middle Eastern countries.

The bitterly disputed question which the court must answer: do separate school systems for white | and Negro students violate the Con- stitution? Arguments ended Thursday. It may be several months before the court gives its answer. When it comes it will either reaffirm or overturn an 1896 decision which lestablished the “separate but equal” doctrine that segregation jis constitutional if equal facilities jare provided for both races. In five different cases, the high- {est tribunal is being asked to knock jout that doctrine and hold that segregation itself is unconstitu- tional, The cases came to the court from Kansas, South Carolina, Vir- ginia, Delaware and the District of Columbia. In all, 17 states and the District of Columbia have laws making |Separate schools for Negroes and whites mandatory. Four states per- mit local school boards to provide separate schools. The crux of the argument against a court decree outlawing segrega- tion is that nothing has happened since the 1896 decision to cause an upsetting of the “separate but equal” doctrine, and that the ques- tion of integrated or separate STRONG ARM BRAND COFFES Triumph Coffee Mill ALL GROCERS Your Grocer SELLS that Geod STAR * BRAND AMERICAN COFFEE and CUBAN -—-TRY A POUND TODAY—— EXPERT Radio Repairs BY FACTORY MAY All Work Guaranteed LOU’S RADIO & APPLIANCE 622 Duval Street DIAL 2-7951 PICK UP SERVICE Te ES SLOPPY JOE'S 1 Duval St Burlesque STRAND Last Times Today tered Last Times Today Cripple Creek WITH Geo.
