Page 2 Air Force Cadets Can Enter Flight Training Young men who can qualify now: for Air Force aviation cadet train-| ing have the unprecedented oppor-| tunity for entering pre-flight class- es within from 30 to 60 days from the date they are se tae ified applicants, Capt. Fran-| br Baird. commander of South| Florida’s cadet selection team, said/ recently. | The captain also announced a } member of his team will visit Key West March 15-16 to answer queries and assist young men in- terested in the latest information on both the pilot and aircraft ob- server programs. Applications for both phases of flying training are now being ac- cepted from high school graduates who have reached their 19th birth- day. | “It’s only in recent months that) epplicants have had the chance to enter cadet training without meet-| ing the requirement of at least two years of college,” Captain Baird] explained, ‘‘and only very recent-| ly that they can expect to enter class so soon after qualifying.” “Testing to see if he can qualify for entering the program does not} cost the applicant a single penny, nor is he under any obligation to} the Air Force,” he added. The applicant is first given a pre- liminary mental and physical | screening examination at Miami, and if qualified, is then sent to the testing center for this area which| is at Moody Air Force Base, Val- dosta, Georgia. All necessary tra-| vel, lodging and food are furnished} at Government expense. Upon completion of the tests, the man learns whether he is qualified and then can select the approxi- mate date of entry into the Air Force and the pre-flight training class. Only after receiving his ap- pointment to a class does he ac- tually enlist. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Promotion Film Set Tuesday, March 2, 1954 Quickly Chilly Weather Hits Northern Part Of State By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Chilly weather dipped into Flor- ida today, covering the northern part of the peninsula with heavy frost and sending temperatures as low as 28 degrees in Ocala. The Miami weather bureau re- ported some slight damage to sweet corn, beans and other tender crops in the colder sections. In North Florida temperatures ranged from 30 to 35, with 28 in pockets and heavy frost. Sections of Central Florida re- ported 30 to 36 and scattered frost. In the Everglades it was 34 to 46 near Lake Okeechobee and 31 to 36 away from the lake. The weather bureau said frost was general in the backlands of the Everglades and scattered in the lake area. Ocala was the coldest spot in the state, with Cross City reporting 30. Miami reported 46, well above the| record for the date, a chilly 34 set) in 1920.

Monroney (D-Okla) asked Young whether this information was sufficient cause for separating these employes froms government’ service. “I don’t know,” Young replied. He said the heads of the agencies involved probably would be able to answer the question, Young appeared before the Civil Service Committee in response to Democratic demands for a probe of the disputed question of security risks in the government. He sup- \plied a new breakdown with some) more data than was contained in the one he sent to the House yes- terday. He boosted to 383 the number of persons separated from their fed- eral jobs by dismissal or resig- nation last year who had “‘informa- tion of a subversive nature” in their files. The increase to this figure from the 355 announced yes- terday was due to 28 persons the army got rid of in the past year because of subversive information. Young had sent up a report yes- terday stating that out of 1,782 se- curity separations by the Eisen- |hower administration between May 28 and Dec. 31 of last year, the 355 had subversive information in their files.

It is believed that the load test for fill land is 3,000 pounds, and that core pourings will be made. Also no construction will lowed within six months after land has been filled. eS BILL'S LICENSED PAWN SHOP 703 Duval Street | } |Your Grocer SELLS That Good STAR * BRAND araugis COFFEE BLACK HILLS PASSION PLAY Lake Wales Amphitheatre JA + 31 — APRIL 18 Sun., Tues,, Thurs. 8 p.m. Sat.
