This is one of the conclusions reached by certain Chicago specialists who have been making a LEARN TO PLAY three-year study in Florida, The first report on this study appeared recently in the American Journal of Sociology, which was an issue devoted to the subject of growing old. One of the sociol- ogists, L, C. Michelon, says there is a great difference be- tween leisure time, when one has a job, and when one is retired. The leisure time, when one is retired, actually loses its appeal as leisure time, since there is no work a- head and, therefore, no contrast making leisure pleasant. He points out that television, rides in the country and hobbies are fine for the person who has regular work, but that they lose some of their appeal when they become nat the pause between activities, but the major activities of one’s life. No longer are these escapes a way to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily living, but they become living itself. If, in the mind of the indi- vidual concerned, he has some hobby which he considers work, then the situation might be changed entirely. The latest study, like many earlier ones, indicates that Americans now dedicated to the task of making a living, should spend some time and effort developing worthy hobbies. All of the research in that those who learn to play, while are better suited for retirement than those who have never taken time to learn how to spend their leisure time. Mother’s little man usually turns out to be just that. Very few joX€8 are new and very few joke tellers are funny. Baseball fats are beginning to stir, coming out of nation. their Coffee is good but more and more people are be- ginning to prefer money. One of these days the world may be peopled by saints but the time has not yet arrived. Many a wife takes credit for the making of her hus- band when, perhaps, it happened in spite of handicaps. Businesses grow when somebody mixes hard work and intelligent efforts; few men wake up to find them- selves rich, Crossword ACROSS 1. Statute 4. Style of Ne oP Aaiack 12. Have debts 13.

Compara- tive ending PII) Wednesday, March 17, 1954 NOTAS CUBANAS Por RAOUL ALPIZAR POYO COSAS QUE PASAN Un inspirado poeta cubano, que vivid en este Cayo los inolvidables dias de las emigraciones. revolu- cionarias y que fuera un colabora- dor diligente en todo lo que se relacionaba con la libertad de Cuba, me refiero a Diego Vicente Tejera, un dia hablando de las cosas raras que ocurrian en este Cayo, muchas de ellas, pintorescas y curiosas, dijo que Cayo Hi “era el lugar de los viceversas’”, 0 lo que es lo mismo, que aqui las cosas ocurrian de distinto modo a como lo hacian en otros lugares, Tenia sobradisima razon el admirado autor de “La Hamaca”. Véase si nd, lo que vamos a ex- poner inmediatamente. Se prohibe por una ordenanza municipal tener gallinas y gallos en el patio, dentro del limite de la ciudad, para que no molesten al vecino, ni perturben su apacible suefio. Tanto es asi, que en dias pasados, un sefor de malas pulgas, residente en el Hotel Casa Marina, salié en busca de un inofensivo gallo que cantaba placidamente en las horas de la madrugada y sin piedad alguna, le did muerte alevosamente, Mevando su cadaver hasta la entrada del mismo Hotel, con mas prosopopeya, que si hubiera dado muerte a Hitler, o Mussolino .. . Pues bien: no hay ninguna ordenanza que impida que el vecindario tenga perros satos y de raza, que se pasen la noche ladrando al transeunte y cuando no cruza nadie, la hagan a la Luna y no dejen dormir al vecin- dario y la Sociedad protectora de animales . . , Bien gracias . . . Con esto, queda plenamente justificada la frase del peeta Te- jera. Aqui las cosas ocurren de distinto modo a como suceden en otros lugares de la Union. En nuestra cuadra por ejemplo, hay varios canes, de lo mas divertidos y bullangueros, que se pasan la noche dando ladridos y haciéndole imposible conciliar el suefio a los que tenemos la des- ventura de vivir en esa cuadra. Sus duefios, si algun transeunte se enfada, al verse atacado por el can de marras, con frecuencia salen al portal y le dicen cuatro frescas al transeunte, que segin el duefio del perro, al parecer, esta obdigado a dearse atjacar y hasta morder el extremo del pantalon, por el perrito de marras, que es un sato, con todas las de la Ley... Si se Hama la atencion a la Sociedad Protectora, lo primero que esta exige es el nombre, etc., y todas las generales de quien da la queja, para darselo a conocer al duefio del perro y buscarle una nueva “tartaria”, al vecino que reclama su derecho. Nosotros nos preguntamos, sin ofender a nadie: qué molesta mas, el ladrido de un perro, o de varios perros toda la noche, o el amable cantar de un gallo, que nos avisa que el alba ha legado y que es hora de levantarnos, y que este canto no es molesto, ni pertinaz, ni se mete en el timpano, como el perverso ladrido del perro? . . . A los que hacen las Ordenanzas Municipales, a los pretenden servir con la mejor de las voluntades al vecindario que les diera el voto, le pedimos por favor, sin olvidar todo el sentimentalismo de “que el perro es el mejor amigo del hombre”, sobre todo, cuando lo muerde ete. etc., que dicten uma ordenanza, prohibiendo tener perros en las casas que ladren y molesten al vecino que no lo tiene ¥ que merece la consideracién de Que le dejen dormir durante las rn horas de la noche, que son, precisamente, las escogidas por los perros de mi cuadra, para molestarnos, sin consideraciones de clase alguna. El cantar de un gallo, es confor- tanble. Y conste que no somos jugadores de gallos, ni nacimos en el campo. Pero, siempre nos agrad6 saber que durante las horas del silencio absoluto de la media noche, habia alguien que velaba nuestro svefio y nos decia a cada hora, que estaba despierto y que velaba por nosotros. Pero, no sabemos cémo ni por qué, en este querido pueblo, hay ciertas gentes que odia a los infelices gallos, mientras adora a los perros, por muy _ satos y sarnosos que ellos sean. Se quejan de los gallos, pero no se quejan de los perros ladradores .. . Ah nos figuramos que es, sencilla- mente, porque los gallos, no pagan licencia municipal y los perros si, es decir la debieran de pagar aunque la mayoria no lo ha hecho, ni lo hara jamas... En las grandes ciudades y conste que ya Cayo Hueso, va en ese camino de ser una ciudad de verdadera importancia, no se permite que deambulen por las calles esas caravanas de perros, que van rindiendo honores a una perrita casquivana y pizpireta, que les va haciendo la boca agua, ain a los mas viejos canes de la ciudad. Aparte de lo poco decoroso que es tal espectacuio, los vecinos corren el gravisimo peligro de que esos perros, al ser contrariados y echados lejos de la perrita casca- belera, se ofendan y ataquen al transeunte, obligandole al penoso, Prolongado y pesado tratamiento antirrabico. El microbio de la hidrofobia, tadica en el cerebro del perro que esta atacado por tan tremenda enfermedad. Aqui, desgraciada- mente, tenemos pccos laboratorios que pudieran rapidamente infor- mar al paciente, si el perro que le mordiera, tenia o no la rabia. Y, naturalmente, como medida de Prevencién, tendria que comenzar el proceso de inyectarse un dia y otro, durante algunos dias en evitacién de que la enfermedad entré en la mordida, que tome cuerpo y que mate al paciente, tras una agonia que no es para ser descrita. Eso, en modo alguno puede Producirlo el cantio de un simpa- tico y airoso gallo, que desde lo alto del _mamoncillo, saluda al vecindario cada amanecer . . . Ese peligro que traen consigo esos Perritos, tan mal Hamados “‘los mejores amigos del hombre”, no lo tiene el gallo, cuya misién es cuidar y atender a la buena alimentacién de un grupo de galli- mas, que le rodean y le miman, Pensndo que ese sera el padre amoroso de sus polluelos y que, a tanto, hay que tratarle como Nos agradan los perros, pero Para las cacerias, para.las exposi- ciones y para verlos dentro de sus jaulas y reir sus gracias en los circos. Pero, para tenerlos sueltos, sin chapa, ni bozal, en la misma vecindad en que habitamos, de- claramos, sin qué nos quede nada Por dentro, que odiamos de todo corazén a esos animalitos, que Por capricho de sus duefios, se Pasan la vida molestando a los que ningan dafio han hecho, ai &@ sus duefios . . . Ojala que nuestros flamantes Comisionados de la Ciudad, se enteren de estas quejas y actien en justicia, dejandonos dormir con tranquilidad ... Covering The Florida Keys By JACK M. LEVINE Legionifty: Marathon’s Ameri- can Post and Legion Auxiliary Unit 154, this week, got a special honor. A news report about its activities was included in a press release from the National Public Relations Division of the American Legion, Indianapolis, Ind. High- lighted, is a review of the progress of the Marathon Legion Post’s new Memorial Home. An invitation is extended, in the press release, to Legionnaires and their ladies, throughout the United States, to avail themselves of the hospitality of the Marathon Post and Unit. Simultaneously, Wesley J. Bartelt, Marathon Legion Post Command- er, received a letter from Jack Little, Chief of the Press Section at the National Headquarters of the American Legion. Mr. Little stated that his wife and he plan to vist Marathon in late May, and possibly do a story about the Ma- rathon Post’s progress. Mr. Little also complimented the Post for its continuous flow of news items to the National Headquarters. Your reporter and mate are happy to have made this possible. Travelks: The “For Elks Who Travel” section of the current, March, issue of The Elks Maga- :zine, makes descriptive mention of a segment of the Upper Keys. The article takes northern readers on a word tour to a point “four miles south of Tavernier.” We got to wondering why the writer of the article was so “Tavernier”, . .and yet so far. . .from covering the rest of the Keys and Key West. So, we got in touch with the Ma- gazine’s editorial offices, ‘‘Just one of those things,” was the explana- tion. Of course the Elks Magazine had given previous coverage to the southernmost resort area. Never- theless, here are a few points worth repeating in a future story. The Florida Keys Elks Lodge 1878, at Windley Key is Islamorada, is perhaps the only Elks Lodge in the United States to have the distinc- tion of being quartered on a house- country. Repeating what every- body knows? Not quite. The ad- vertising profession a since, discovered that the merits of an outstanding product must be repeated over and over again. How many people know about the Florida Keys?. . .That’s the $64 Key Westion!’ Te Life: Last Sunday nite’s Ed- die Cantor TV program featured the Look Magazine awards. Also featured was singing sensation Ed- die Fisher. In an exchange of re- partee with Fisher, the comedian performed magic by producing two botties of Coke. . .practically out of thin air. . .There followed an award to the young singer. . . more talk about the show business awards of Look Magazine. . .and then. . .a gulp of Coca Cola. But, not before Cantor had uttered “L'Chayim.” Thus Look had to share the spotlight with “1’cha. yim”. . .which, translated, means “To Life.” On The Banks Of The Keys: Should plans for establishment of a State Bank in the Upper Keys materialize. . there will come with it a claim to fame. . .It may prove to be the first community in the) | nation, where a bank was started by and with one “Buck.” The one I'S DEATH, MY DARLING!

Of Ours By Bill Gibb It is good to see that the Re- Publican party has been able to secure a couple of candidates to compete with the Democrats in the race for Florida governor. Dar- ing the past few years, Republi- cans have gradually been: building up strength and though I consider myself a Democrat, I’m glad to see this change in the South. I think it will eventually lead to more consideration being given the principles of government and we will have less of the mud-slinging that only serves to becloud an is- sue. The American people are rather odd in that their sympathy goes to the underdog—whether he is right or wrong. I wouldn’t be sur- prised if this emotional tendency doesn’t account for many votes being thrown to Republican can- didates even though the voter knows they have no chance of winning. Whether that is true or not, I’m definitely sure that many a candidate has defeated himself by creating sympcthy for his op- ponent. Rattling skeletons in a closet and name-calling creates a lot of talk and interest but it usual- ly has a boomerang effect upon its originator. This Column‘s Purpose Many folks will ask, if the above is true, why does “This Rock” so often come out with controversial issues? That’s a good question. The column seeks merely to sti- mulate thought on civic problems that are apparently in need of correction. By expressing an idea in a more or less emphatic form, we are sometimes able to create discussion amongst folks who know a whole lot more about the subject than we do. Sometimes it is a month, sometimes six months, but such discussions usually lead to action being taken. ‘‘This Rock” neither asks nor gets credit but there is a lot of personal satis- faction in feeling some responsi- bility for a few improvements in town. Incidentally, anytime a contro- versial subject appears in the col- umn, the same amount of space is always available to those who dis- agree with our presentation of the facts. Blissful Buying Have you noticed that the Citi- zen’s shopping column is being . . .Grundy of course. His interest in the new banking ven- ture seems to round out a normal cycle of events. As a former vice president of the Chelsea Bank and Trust Company in New York, years ago he apparently had his fill of bank deposits and migrat- to the Keys. . .where, as a reai- tor, he saw the new land created with deposits of fill, along the banks of the Keys. Actually, it seems that he’s never left the bus- iness of bank deposits. Both ven- tures seem to have proved to be done by a new writer? It is a fine bit of work she is turning out, too! I’ve always stood in awe of any- one who writes for the society page. Maybe that is because the editor once assigned me to that department when Dorothy Ray- mer, former society editor, was absent for a couple of days. Man alive! What an experience! It takes a vocabulary of ten thou- sand words just to describe a wed- ding dress, And when you do like I did one time and describe the bride’s mother’s dress as being the one worn by the bride—well, you just wish you had never been born. Here’s wishing Jeannette a lot of luck with her “Blissful Buy- ing.” If she maintains her present style, she will attract many .read- ers—both men and women. (That’s right, men read the society page too. Perhaps a little more secretly but just as avidly.) New Crawfish Rules The conservation boys have worked out a new set of regula- tions governing the catching of crawfish and their distribution on the market. As a result, restau- rant and seafood dealers now have another headache! They must file a sworn inventory report of the amount of crawfish that they have on hand within three days after ; the season closes. Otherwise, their stock is liable to seizure, I’m ail for eonservation but don’t you think merchants have enough papers to file, taxes to re- conserving, they might start ing to eliminate a lot work that now seems to main preoccupation of our burea' cratic government. At least, we’ preserve our forests.

Campaign Against Huks Revamped MANILA # — President Ramon Magsaysay conferred with his top military leaders Monday night on revamping the government's strategy in its campaign against the Communist-led Huks. The move followed discouraging reports on the three-week drive against rebels in central Luzon is- land. Operations by 10,000 troops have killed 16 Huks, the army said. The conference agreed to revert to guerrilla warfare, reshuffle army battalion commands and con- tinue rewards to informers.
