Community Auditorium, PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES A recent survey showed that eight States are con- sidering proposals which would give their citizens a vote in the process of nominating a Presidential candidate. Only fifteen States, at present, hold Presidential prim- aries. Citizens voting in these primaries show their pref- erence by selecting delegates who are pledged to support their candidate in the National Conventions. Should the Legislatures of the eight States where the legislation has been proposed adopt Presidential primaries, it would bring the number of States holding them to 23, almost half the 48 States. The nominating conventions of both major parties in the United States are one of the oddities of the American form of government. Too often the conventions nominate a man who is not the choice of the average member of the party concerned, but who is the candidate with the best convention organization. In the 1952 election, it will be recalled that several candidates made major bids in the States which held primaries. President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Senator Robert A. Taft carried on a hot battle in the primary States. If each State held a Presidential primary, the people’s views on the candidates could be aceurately tabulated and, eventually, such a development might lead to the discontinuance of National Conventions for nominating purposes. This appears to be a long-term pros- pect, at best. There is much to be said in favor of the Presidential primary and against the system of nomination as carried on at National Conventions. The nomination system in use today in many states allows party officials to hand- pick delegates to the National Convention. In one-party states, where party officials and the State Administra- tion are tied in solidly, both party and State officials can sometimes succeed in controlling the selection of dele- gates. It is obvious that the most democratic method would be a Presidential primary, where the people are given a chance to vote on the delegates pledged to the various candidates.

Hill’s Audubon Screen Tour Mon- lina, the rare Sora Rail, who came to the door of the Key West High School Auditorium in time for the lecture, unescorted and unannounced. The dainty little bird hesitated outside the door, but was quickly welcomed by Dr. Hill and Mrs. Frances Hames, President of the Monroe County Audubon Society. One of the other guests present offered to provide lodging for the night and breakfast, after which he agreed to ste that the little Rail was sent safely on its way. The Sora Rail is one of the most charming of Florida's winter vis- itors, and only occasionally does it visit Key West. Its range is from Nova Scotia, the lower St. Lawrence River and Saskatchewan in Canada, Maryland south to Florida for the winter. It is quite coincidental that it should arrive in time for Dr. Hill's lecture, and was so un- obtrusive that few of the audience were aware of its presence, Breath-taking descents in search of falcons, hawks, and owls, over the steep Pacific Ocean cliffs on the California coast were featured in Dr. Hill's speetacular film, “Wings and Tal- ons.” Included was superb color photography of ‘he most stately and fierce birds of the United RARE SORA RAIL ON SCENE day evening was Porzana Caro-| States. Each chapter of the film began in the manner of an in- teresting book, richly illustrated with the famous paintings of John James Audubon. In the highest cliffs and sheer- est precipices along the Pacific Ocean were found crevices in which nests of the Peregrine fal- con were discovered. The audi- ence tensely followed every movement of Dr. Hill and his companion scientists, Dr. Woolf and Dr. Work, as they scaled the cliffs to the nests high above the water. The intrepid photograph- ‘ers, safety ropes fast about their waists, descended to a point near the nest, each taking his turn to regch a safe foothold, with ropes secured to another man seated on the ground at the top of the cliff. Unexpected Guest Attends Screen Tour Here acteristics of the two species are similar, there is much difference in size and in Key West. They are often misunderstood, and are most beneficial birds to mankind, since they destroy rodents and harmful snakes. The majestic American Eagle, the Golden Eagle, and the Horned Owl appeared on the pages of Mr. Hill’s story, as did the Barn Owl, whose children are so gro- tesque they can be loved only by their parents. The Barn Owl is known as nature’s best mouse- trap. Colorful Cacti blossoming in the California sunshine, and domes- tic farm animals added to the interest of the picture. A ring- tailed wild cat competed with a spotted skunk for a prominent place in the photographer’s flood- The search produced not only | light. the nest and eggs, but also the young of the Peregrine Falcon. Two tiny, fluffy Falcons, never before having seen the light of day, posed reluctantly for the photographer. While very young these birds are docile, but only for a short time, since nature has provided for their defense with sturdy beaks and sharp talons which endanger those attempting to approach the rest. A Prairie Faleon and a Spar- row Hawk, or Kestrel, having similar markings, were compared in close-up photographs.

There aren't enough of them, even in Texas. The best target is housewives. They have more money than any- body except Uncle Sam himself. Three merry young brothers now have a 12 million dollar a year business as a result of learning this simple fact. They built their business in three years by getting rid of the spots in front of house- wifes’ eyes—in this case, rug spots. But the brothers, who gave up other careers to gamble on a rug cleaning product developed by their dad, wasted considerable ef- fort before discovering that there is no market like a housewife. “After we beat our heads against the wrong wall enough times, we got smart,” is the way Clayton puts it. brothers, Jerold, 34, a former com- mercial artist, and Sheldon, 28, a radio announcer, are vice presi- dents. Their success story outdoes Ho- ratio Alger. In 1945 their father, B. M. Hulsh, sold his small chemical plant in | Chicago and retired to Florida and j went into the hotel business. But jhe retained patent rights on a rug cleaner and over the years con- tinued to improve it. Three years ago he called his three sons in and proposed they drop the jobs they held and go into business with him. He told them he was confident he had a product that would sell if properly mar- e faith in it—and I'll put my life savings into it,” he said. The three brothers had faith in their dad. They joined him, hired a small chemical plant to manu- | facture the rug cleaner, and start- ed beating the highways, byways, and bush paths of the nation to sell it. They concentrated on industrial customers—hotels, movie chains, big commercial rug cleaning firms. Then, early in 1951, a national magazine in a survey of rug clean- ers, recommended their product. Housewives wrote in by the thou- sands. “That showed us our true mar- ket—the home itself,” recalled Sheldon. Today the brothers have four plants scattered around the coun- try. They have traveled some 600.- 000 miles. Their dad recently re- tired again, on an annual pension that runs into six figures. Their business grossed 12 million dollars last year, may hit 15 million this - “It hit like lightning,” Sheldon said. ‘We're still trying to get over the shock.” Clayton, who answers 27,000 let. ters a year from housewives, gives this advice to them: if rotated regularly. “Most rugs are made of animal , hold 11 times as many bacteria as ja public sidewalk. | “If a small rug is kept in the jentrance way and cleaned once a week, it won't be necessary to Clayton is head of the firm.

He wrote: “I never saw a Purple Cow, I never hope to see one; But I can tell you, anyhow, I'd rather see than be one.” I wish I could be a purple cow for just one day in Key West. Just for the sake of the children. It would be the biggest thrill I can ever hope to experience. Just imagine the rapture and ecstasy of the wee folk at seeing an hon- est-to-goodness cow (and a pur-} ple one, at that)) for the first! jtime. The thought overwhelms me. I realize it is impossible for me to become a purple cow, even for a day, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t continue my campaign in behalf of the children. The chil- dren of Key West will get to see a cow even if I have to become a cow rustler! If I don't, look out} for me. My four boys have al-! ready given me the word—a cow; or else... What is a man to do in a situation like this? Now, I am not a demanding) person. I can overlook many of} the inadequacies that exist in our | |community, Such as an inade- quate public library; lack of piers | from which we can fish; lack of} imaginative public officials; lack | of B-Girls; lack of supervised tea! rooms; lack of registered voters; ! lack of money to lose on the| dogs; lack of bolita and umbrel-| la games. All of these things I somehow tolerate. But I refuse to tolerate the lack of a cow in our fair community. This is tanta- mount to criminal neglect of our children. If the City Commis- sioners don’t resolve this prob- lem in the very near future. I will form a Citizens Committee to spur them on. A_ disgraceful situation, I say. Notice of Intent The readers of this column are hereby notified that I may no longer be addressed as Charles G. Mendoza. You may address me now as C. Gonzales Mendoza. The reason for the switch of ini- tials should be obvious. A Grade A, grits-and- grunts columnist must have a prepossessing name if he is to succeed. Not only that, but if the reading public must milk me of my juicy thoughts they should grant me some con- cessions. An awkward name like Charles G. Mendoza is a terrible handicap to overcome. You must agree that C. Gonzales Mendoza has a certain flair, a dashing air, quite debonair, and also more |syllables. Those who dislike me | could ‘choke on a name like that. If anyone is dubious about the Grade A status I have*assigned to myself, let them check with Willie Saundeés, the 10tal' State Inspector for the Florida Agri- cultural Department. Mr. Saund- ers is famous for his horse meat investigations, also for his in- ability to pick out pennant win ners in the major leagues. I am sure that Mr. Saunders will con- ‘firm my Grade A status. If be does, I will let him look into my ‘erystal ball for free.
