T have always wondered why there ‘was so much furor on the part of American college professors and high school teachers regarding their loss of academic freedom in being asked to say whether or not they are Communists, because I have always felt it a privilege to be able to say: “I am an Ameri- can.” Being a U. S. citizen is one of the most: cherished gifts I pos-| sess -- I have probably done more talking in my speech and English classes to try to teach how false are the ideologies of Communism | catching of shrimp or prawn for than any other teacher in the Mon- Toe County School system because much of our time is spent in Speech learning democracy’s _ privileges and responsibilities, sinee speech is the essence of a free people. My record on’ my beliefs can be found by asking the boys and girls who have sat under me the past 12 years in Key West and the pre- vious 5 years in Illinois, I am not, I have not, I have never been, and T am sure I shall never be a Com- munist. The worldly possession I hold dearest outside my family is amy democratic U. S. citizenship. “Mr. Roberts’ charge of my lack of religious enterprise is in keep- i is implications of my communist leanings.

Papy, State Representative at Tallahassee in- troduced fousebills fixing ecompen- sation for Monroe County Com- missionsers at $300 a month; an- other bill requiring Key West City Commission to hold election on the question of changing to Mayor and Council form of government, and another requiring Monroe County candidates to file for running in election by February 1. The previous day, Papy intro- duced a bill permitting year round bait in Ménroe County waters and it was passed April 24. Also passed were bills relating to Key West Aqueduct Commission; the eliminating of some authority of Key West City Manager over the police department; providing salary for justice of the peace in first and second Monroe districts; and the use of Key West income from cigarette tax. The House also passed housebills 588, 589 and 590, $500,000 KW REAL (Continued from Page One) Street, where it is reported a Whe- lan Drug Store will open shortly. The E. H.

In one year, numerous landmarks have been sold, demolished and replac- block stores.

Evi- dently, her ire first began to mount when my son refused to de- lete any portion of his prepared oration. This obviously so deflat- ed her ego that she became in- flamed. “As to her vital interest in Am- ericanism, I probably have a dif- ferent interpretation. In my opin- jon, this interest is questionable, based wholly upon her unsports- manlike attitude. “Considering the fact that Mar- jon Stark was emotionally upset, | why did she attend this contest, if not for the sole purpose of heckling and annoying the rep- resentative of Monroe County and “As a member of Arthur Saw- to our organization as well, Our | er was unexpected and unaj ciated, “1 do not make a practice of €ITY WILL LEASE (Continues trom Page One) drawing up a formal lease for sub- mitting to the Commission. H. G. Williams, president of the organization and Fred Dion, vice- president, were told the city would make a written statement of terms they desired. Williams replied that the deal would progress along simi- lar ideas in Havana. The favorable step puts the reali- zation of the ferry service to Cuba and back, on firmer basis, but it will probably be next year béfore the dream becomes reality. As Charles Roberts, comptroller for the city, pointed out, about $75,000 would be involved in ready- ing the terminal and dock facili- ties at this end. Williams presented a plan and map of the proposed construction and ramps placement was foremost in the talk. The lease would be for 30 years and the city would be guaranteed a minimum of $30,000, annually. The city would also receive be- sides rental at $250 a month, 25 cents per passenger, one dollar per ton for freight and express. The company would pay for utilities but would have no personal or property tax assessment. The city would carry its own insurance on improvements in regard to fire and windstorm. The ferry company would sustain the liability insur- ance. Another point made in the contract which is still to be pre- sented formally is that no con- cession can be placed on the prop- erty without City Commission ap- proval. The city would have to construct the terminal according to’ the company’s technical plans.
