Now Mrs. John W. Bowers, both she and her husband were amaz- ed at the change in the city and the island in general, Bowers said, “We just didn’t know the place.” However, Bow- ers knew what Key West was like 24 years ago when he was employ- ed by the P. and O. Steamship Company. He also worked at the Naval Station. He is now associat- ed with the Lewis-Shepard Com- pany at Watertown, Mass. While on The Old Rock, he met and married “Miss Ruby.” That was in 1912, Her old home was + what is known as the old Roberts house at Fleming and Grinnell Streets. Bowers, Canadian born, said that they had been spending most of their vacations in Canada, Shel- bourn, Nova Scotia, to be explicit, but that this time they decided to re-visit Key West, not only for old times sake, but because fishing is Bowers’ hobby and he expects to make catches while the sun hines « + or if it doesn’t. The Bowers’ are visiting with re- latives, Mr. and Mrs, John Richardson, 1406 Newton Street. DEATH MRS, ELLA R. DEMERITT | Mrs. Ella R.

Church Of Rock Bible School Closes Tonight The Church of the Rock, 535 Francis Street, will hold the clos- jing exercises of the Daily Vaca- tion Bible School tonight at 7:30. Everyone is cordially invited. The progran will open with the children singing the theme song of the school, “I’ll be a Sunbeam.” The group will then pledge alegi- ance to the American and Chris- tian flags and honor the Bible. These pledges will be followed by songs which they have learned. Students from the Primary group will recite The Twenty-third Psalm and sing “Savior like a Shepherd"’ in keeping with their study of Jesus as the Good Shepherd. The Juniors have been learning the meaning of names by which Jesus is called. They will recite Bible verses containing these names and give some pertinent in- formation about the Bible. Exer- cises will close with the school theme and the Benediction. Maid’s Night Out By RAYMER “MY OUTLAW BROTHER,” at the San Carlos Theatre A glance at the list of the tech- nical staff reveals that this Bene- dict Bogaeus picture was made in studios at Mexico City, confirming the authenticity of the background which is South of the Border. The fine satirical hand of Elliot Nu- gent, playwright who has long had a reputation for humor (The Male Animal revival is one example) in stage and movie presentations, is also evident. . .except that in this case the hand didn’t press down consistently. The result is a hy- brid type movie, a cross between comedy and tragedy. The story could have been a rollicking fun type. As it is, it’s just sort of mul- ish, It balks because Rooney can't make up his mind to be “one or tother.”” This fault may have been due to The story starts out well enough with Rooney as a tenderfoot driv- ing a carriage to the border in search of his longlost~ brother. Robert Stack is the kin. He’s a handsome fellow who probably hasn’t advanced to stardom be- cause he is too much like a young- ish Gary Cooper. Robert Preston is the second lead hero. Mexican actors make up the rest of the im- portant figures, outside of Wanda Hendrix, a delicious little senorita who twitches her nose like a bun- ny when she talks. Watch it in the rendezvous scene with Rooney. Rooney runs into the wild West at first shot. After that shots are exchanged with the frequency of those dots in a Winchell column. The brother turns out to be a vil- lian, and in the end its a case of Stack against his pint-sized broth- er in romance as well as in fight- hide-chase-fight-again sequences. Rooney comes out heads above, quite a feat in Adler Elevated cow- boy boots. You'll like the kidding of West- ern movies. There are lots of laughs. The trouble is, there could have been more if the picture had had a re-write, re-direct operation. There’s one scene in particular in which Rooney brings down the house, In most Western pictures the heros are brave silent men who never groan when hurt. In this one, Rooney manages to keep quiet though stabbed by a pitchfork when Robert Stack blows his stack and starts hunting for his needle-sized brother hidden in a haystack with odds stacked up a-| gainst him. (Whew!) But when the | wound is treated by pouring whis- key on it, Rooney stamps his feet and yips, ‘“Ow-ow-ow! That hurts,"” much to the delight of the customer.

He told a news con-, ference recently that atomic power would be merely another way to power a carrier and in itself “would not give you a completely new weapon.” Rep. W. Sterling Cole (R-NY), chairman of the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee, said today that testimony before his group was that seven billion dol- lars earmarked in the budget for continued atomic research would be sufficient to continue develop- ments that might be applied later to Navy surface ships. I. I. Rabi, Columbia University physics professor, told the atomic committee yesterday the U. S. is technically ready to produce elec- tricity from nuclear energy. The committee recessed until Monday a series of cpen hearings on an AEC proposal -to let private business operate atomic plants and handle fissionable materials to spur the development of civilian power.

The men who attacked the woman on the evening of May 26, as she slept alone in a second story United Street apartment, ap- parently gained entrance by scal- ing a rain drain pipe and then slashed a screen. They then en- tered the woman's bedroom and allegedly attacked her a total of four times. Residents in the neighborhood are reportedly up in arms over the brazen attack.

DISCUSSION (Continued) At the May 29th Meeting of the Monroe County Juvenile Advisory Council: The discussion at this meeting was devoted to problems raised at the meeting the evening before. County Commissioner Allen’s proposal was unacceptable to the Council because it would not pro- vide the immediate relief the Coun- cil believes the Juvenile Court needs. The Council believes the need should be of greater concern to the Commissioners. A committee of the Council membership worked out a plan to renovate the old jail at no cost to the County Commis- |sion, Blue prints were prepared describing this proposal and a set was given to each Commissioner some time before’this discussion. | It was a disappointment to the Council Committee when the plan was not given sufficient attention. It was felt that the request for the | old jail’s use was sidetracked by the Commission. The Council Com- mittee was convinced of this fact when it was rumored that two other agencies were offered use of the building. There was recognition at this meeting that the County Commis- sion might not be free to release this building for a juvenile facili- ty since it had been condemned as unsanitary and unsafe for hu- man habitation. Members of the Council were un- able to understand why the Com- mission did not seem more inter- ested in the fact that may organi- zations has passed resolutions urging them to tdke early action on this problem. Members believed | this was probably the first time the Commission had ever received so many resolutions about a pro- blem. It was suggested that the Commission might have consider- ed the resolutions as criticisms of negligence rather than a expres- sions of support. It was finally suggested - that since the Commission’s plan for | renovating the jail would not bring immediate relief and since such a plan was far from desirable anyway, that other steps should be taken. One member pointed out that organizations are always look- ing for worthwhile projects in the fall. Perhaps the town of Key West could be alerted to this problem and by a combined effort of or- ganizations could provide a’ faci- lity without, county funds. Some- one else reminded the Council that UNDERST | DING (Continued From Page O=¢) both the Chinese anc U. N. fore; | from Korea and a mutual seguriiy | pact to be signed between the U. S. |and the Republic of Korea. Another proposal is that the polit- ieal conference (after an armi- stice) to be limited to a period of three months so that if no satis- factory result is agreed upon at the end of that period the armi- stice will be considered ended.” Asked whether he planned to | telcsse the 8,000 anti-Communist | North Korean prisoners remaining in U. N. camps since the break- out last week of 27,000 others, Rhee said: “TI have undertaken with the UNC —and with the Americans—to prevent further outbreaks.” The U. N. Prisoner of War Com- mand has already announced that U. S. guards have replaced the ROK guards at all POW camps on the mainland. Rhee said he did not wish to comment at this time on a ques- tion of whether the U. S. had noti- fied him it would withdraw mili- tary and economic aid if he still refused to go along with a truce. Asked whether he thought South Korea could fight on alone if U. S. | aid were stopped, Rhee said: | “If there is no other way to cease fire than to sign the truce jas it is, then I believe it is best |for the U. S. to let the Koreans try to save themselves. When the truce is signed, the U. S. can not participate in the fight, but it can allow the Koreans to continue the fighting alone. The Koreans believe land should be available from the County.
