Arriving in the European Com- mand in September 1951 Bill was assigned to the 1944th AACS Squa- dron outside of Munich, Germany, and was assigned to the 1812 AA CS Group in August of 52.

Canagta any- one? ; We wonder how many Key West | music lovers, whose appétite was | whetted by the magnifi¢ent per- formance of contralto Elena Ni- kolaidi in the first of this season's Community Concert series, know that a Havana radio station, CM BF, is offering the best in re- corded music 18 hours daily.

Boiled down into its briefest form, the plan is this: ‘ a All radio stations will be switched to one wave length band as soon as an air raid warning has been given. As all stations go to the same wave length the power will be reduced so that a minimum of interference and confusion will be caused. In other words, a powerful station which covers several states will be reduced to a coverage ra- dius of only a fraction of its former power. It will operate with just enough power to reach listeners in its area but not enough to interfere with stations (broadcasting on the same frequency) in other areas, The radio compass, which is widely. used in aircraft, will be ineffectual against such strategy. Aircraft navi- gators will not be able to tune in to any station on the basis of wave-length frequency, since all stations will be |! on the same wave length. In addition, the instrument will mer wi and therefore be useless. us, the nation’s radios will be able to stay on the air, bhpadcasting warnings or alerts, even during an ac- tual raid. This is an improvement over the technique which was relied on by most countries during the last war. In this country, infrequent warnings led to shut-downs by many stations and this impractical system-can now be avoided. Buying at home is a good way to make Key West prosperous, whether you believe it or not. Good health should not be a luxury and it might not be if adults see that children receive proper training and treatment. Ideal Economy: Where you sell what you have for the highest possible prices and buy what you need at your own prices, There is nothing inherently wrong with the sugges- tion that a subscription to The Citizen for a full year, makes an excellent Christmas gift. SLICE OF HAM “1 THINK THE OLD MAN NEEDS GLASSES 1° It has long been an axiom among lovers of good Cuban coffee that the closest available cup of the delicious brew can be obtained just 90-miles from here — in Hava- na. The beverage that is being sold here in restaurants just isn’t up to snuff and anyone who has tasted the real thing in the Hava- na coffee shops knows the differ- ever, we have learned, hap- pily, that this is not exactly the ease and there is hope for those who enjoy a mid-morning “ solo” -- the Centro Asturiano, a rather unpretentious little place on lower Duval Street is serving au- thentie Cuban coffee. Each morning, coffee Howev lovers clockwork for their tacita of the thick, black and savory brew. The city commission is numbered among the regular customers the place has attracted. After each meeting they flock there for re- freshments. We inquired and the fellow who presides at the coffee maker (he wouldn’t tell ee name) an ... Ear To The Ground By JIM COBB eel it through flannel. All of their coffee is roasted in Key West, which contrary to popular belief, is just as good as the Cuban varie- ty, he added. The secret is in the preparation. For one reason or another, I have never gotten around to play- ing much bridge. Co-worker Doro- thy Raymer, artist Lou Strong and a gal with red hair managed to talk me into a few rubbers at my house Sunday night after dinner. When it comes to card playing, I am not as sharp as I might be. Further, my addiction to cribbage makes me something of a pariah in the eyes of bridge aficionados. Lou devotes most of his time to painting pictures and conse- quently his mastery of the game places him in the same class as me ~- the bane of bridge addicts. Now Raymer and the Red Head | view the game with an enthusiasm |} bordering on the frantic. They are well versed in all of the latest sys- tems. Playing with them, unless you happen to be a really com- petent bridge authority, can be frustrating. Raymer is the scientific player, cold and calculating, while the Red Head knows more about bridge than I do about cribbage - which vention of Bidding.” When she broke this out on us, it sounded so imposing that Lou and I simply wilted and mentally conceded de- feat. It was pure psychological warfaré on the part of Raymer. This fellow Blackwood seems to have worked out a very. neat sys- tem of cheating whereby, when the bidding starts, you tip your part- ner off on what you have in your hand with a complicated code sys- tem -- which is something that is highly illegal in certain poker games that we have participated in. Anyhow, this system is a masterpiece of beating around the bush. It seems that when Raymer wanted the Red Head to know that she had a. fistfuk of spades, she would shout, “three hearts” which seemed to us to be a roundabout way of getting the information across the table. All of which led Lou to remark that “it is like going to the grocery store and asking for a qué@t of milk when what you really want is a dozen eggs.” Anyhow, we absorbed a drub- bing and when I arrived at the office Monday morning I found a book on my desk.
