Community Auditorium, eee ee SAIGH TO JAIL Fred M. Saigh, owner of the St. Louis Cardinals, was recently sentenced to 15 months in prison for evasion of in- come taxes, At the time this is written, the disposition of the St. Louis Cardinal baseball chain is undecided. This incident recalls the turbulence which has devel- oped among major league baseball owners in recent years and the charges that several have hurled back and forth. While perhaps it is not fair to the owners, professional baseball has enjoyed such a high reputation over the years that major league owners are, somehow, expected to live up to high demands. Despite this obligation, the owners—amid much bick- ering—fired the baseball commissioner a year or so ago and hired a new one. Influential in this movement were some major league owners who had bought their clubs only regently. One cannot watch the baseball scene, without think- ing back to the late Commissioner Kennesaw Landis, who wielded such a strong influence over the sport for so Many years. Landis knew that the public’s confidence must be maintained at all cost, and he managed to do that as long as he was commissioner of baseball. . It is because of the high plane on which Mr. Landis placed major league baseball that we somehow expect to see no major league owners become involved in bickerings and other difficulties. Modern industry has developed many gadgets for smart people to own that only the very rich people can buy. The trouble with some religions is that their adher- ents worship words, without knowing the ideals that the words stand for. Advertising is good anywhere but better in The Key West Citizen, where you can have your advertisement read by the most people. When income taxes are reduced, as they will be re- duced, let us hope that the little man will be able to tell that they have been cut. ’ enone There are some people who believe that freedom of religious worship is a device that is planned to permit them to do as they please, when they please.

Hay que ha- cer excepciones, cuando se trata de acusar a los guardadores del orden. El cementerio tiene un Ce- lador, que debe de ser la persona mas interesada en evitar que alli se cometan depredaciones. Ese Ce- lador, a quien no conocemos, debe de estar siempre en guardia, co- nociendo que de algun tiempo a esta parte, Cayo Hueso ha dejado de ser aquel rincén floridano, tran- quilo, en el cual nadie tenia nece- sidad de echar llave a sus puertas, ni siquiera cerrar las ventanas. Cayo Hueso, de algunos afios a es- ta parte, ha tenido la desventura de que Hegaran aqui, algunos in- deseables de otras partes, capa- ces no solo de desttuir tumbas, si no hasta de jugar al baseball, con las tibias de los pobres muertos.

He- a brados como estamos, a ministrar otra forma mas de acuerdo con condenada, puede obtener que le suspenda el cumplimiento de la sentencia, sin haber cumplido un solo dia de la pena impuesta. Si do una falta, no es necesario que se lieve a presencia del Juez, para que despues de condenado, que es la definitiva prueba de haber co- metido el delito, o la falta, se le suspenda el cumplimiento de la sentencia. Los que no quieran ser sentenciados, que actuen dentro de lo que las leyes ordenan. Los que equipare con los que delinguen. O| io que e lo mismo: qué venta: tiene el que cumple todas las gun privilegio, en la sociedad en que viven... El caso concreto del Cementerio, es algo que pone los pelos de pun- ta. Segan nuestras noticias, ya ha sido detenido un ciudadano y esta siendo acusado de haber tomado parte en los hechos ocurridos en la necrépolis local. Pedimos, que se investigue amplamente todo eso. Que no se vaya a castigar a quien no ha cometido delito alguno; pe- To, en el caso de que se le pruebe, que se le aplique el maximum de la pena, como un escarmiento pa- ra el futuro.) Y recuerden los sefiores Juecep, que ellos también tienen deudos jen el cementerio de la ciudad y esos muertos me- recen el y la reverencia de todos los aqui conviven, A nuestro juicio, los hechos ya citados, parecen mas la obra de un degenerado, paranoico, de un lunatico, que de un profesional de la delincuencia. Qué puede obtener de beneficio quien tal cosa realiza? El ladrén, si no es capturado, dis- fruta del objeto robado. Pero, quien destruye una tumba, quien echa al suelo una columna, o un monumento en el cementerio, no obtiene beneficio de ninguna clase, como no sea la macabra satis- faccion del dafio ocasionado.

Mastros plans to keep the seariet | FIRST A Letter From BILL LANTAFF Dear Neighbor: Recently Congress took action on one of the first bills requested by President Eisenhower. Back in 1949, Congress passed what was known as the Reorgani- zation Act. Under that law, the President was given the power to send to Congress a plan for reor- ganizing one or more rtments of the Government. e plan would go into effect at the end of 60 days unless either the House or Senate passed a resolution, by a constitutional majority disapprov- ing the plan. Using this procedure, President ‘Truman sent to Congress 41 reor- ganization plans, Twenty-nine be- came effective, eleven were re- jected by either the House or Sen- ate, and one plan was superseded by existing law. This was the meth- od used to reorganize the Re- construction Finance Corporation and the Bureau of Internal Reve- nue. This method for reorganizing agencies was originally recom- mended by the Hoover Commis- sion as the fastest and the quickest way to put in effect the govern- a reforms they had suggest- This law would have expired on April 1, 1953 but President Ei- senhower |her more often.

Distribution will be under the supervision of Ltjg, Frank Bar- decki and Lt. L. T. FAWTU. In addition to the courtesy tickets to the youngsters, FAWTU has an- nounced that many valuable door prizes will be awarded during the course of each evening’s activities | ” at the carnival. Everyone will be urged to hold their ticket stubs until departing. FAWTU is also sponsoring a shooting gallery and a drawing for a three day Havana tour. A draw- ing for the shooting gallery rifles will be held on the final carnival night. Tickets for both prizes will be available at the carnival. HAL BOYLE SAYS NEW YORK | Saturday was a day for the birds. For pigeons are in their cooing prime at Valentine time. But peo- ple often don’t fare so well. Many a romance reached a disastrous climax. For it was on this day bashful, woutfd-be lovers summoned the courage to bare their secret heart to the one they yearned for—and received im- mortal scar. How many desperate gamblers got a kick in the pants from cupid before nightfall of St. Valen- tine’s Day? One million? Two mil- lion? Three million? My advice is: “never give an older woman a present on Valen- tine’s Day. T tried it at the age of 12. Never really been the same since. At the time I was on the thresh- old of a promising career. I was one of the leading literary figures of the Linwood Grammar School, and earning up to 50 cents every afternoon peddling newspapers on a street corner. Ward of THIS ROCK OF OURS By BILL GIEs Champions Underdogs No one can accuse a_ certain friend of mine that he doesn’t al- ways champion the underdog — literally, that is. . I can’t use his name because he has threatened me with various forms of mayhem and assault if I wrote about the situation but the other night he came up with a beautiful “‘system” to win all the money out at the dog track. Now, anyone who has ever gam- bled knows that since time im- memorial, mankind has been un- successfully attempting to devise a “system” to beat games of chance. The most common method of working out an unbeatable plan to win is simply to mix up mathe- matical formulas so that even Einstein wouldn't know what they jmeant. My friend’s system was less complicated he merely chose to play the four dogs which experts deemed least likely to ‘in. Seventy-nine dogs raced during the night he was making his play. From amongst these he picked forty to win because they were the forty came home in the money. For my part I'll take the system of two ladies who had never been to. a dog track before and were selecting a dog each race accord- ing to whether it had a pretty name. They won five consecutive races that I know of. The management of the local track has made it plain that in pari-mutuel betting, the track neither wins nor loses when bets tare placed. Customers are merely |forming a “pool” amongst them- selves with the track acting as a “house.” That many people fail to realize this is evident by the talk in town of how the track makes a “killing” when a favor- ed dog fails to win. The money that is bet on that dog is always returned to the public through winnings on other dogs, | As for “systems.” the man or It is understandable that the boats go out every 9) cause of our short ever, I wonder if they ing a wise procedure leave port while small c if it 3 5 ; ings are being In the case of rough seas tend less inclined to fi: The net result of ually a wonderful sickness. ‘The si more serious with tom fishing boats. are often heavily sengers -- men, eh — vod if anything vy. seas ai a happen, the local pleasute industry would receive a.“ ° eye” that would be hard to come.
