Finch, Page 8 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Wednesday, March 17, 1954 Lelephone Company Constructs| Wing Ladies’ Lines To Serve Sigshee Park And Peary Court By April 30 Sigsbee Park and Peary Court gesidents will have telephone ser- vice by April 30, it was announced today by W. L., Gale, telephone @ompany manager here. Construction of new lines is in gress now to provide service to ,000 families in the two develop- ments. Gale said application blanks have been mailed to all families in the two projects and that per- sons desiring service should re- turn the blanks to the phone com- pany as soon as possible. The new lines being constructed are another important project in Southern Bell’s activities to extend and improve telephone service in the Key West area. Many smaller projects are under construction continuously but this project is a tremendous undertak- ing. It is expected to cost approx- imately $56,800, for the outside plant, This does not include the dialing equipment in the central of- fice that has been Previously in- stalled. In addition to the local construc- tion crew it was necessary to bring another complete crew from Miami to assist with the work, Gale added. Before any signs were visible to the people in the area that they would be receiving service, there was extensive preliminary plan- ping and engineering. Now that work is begun residents will see many new poles placed, a large cable strung from Roosevelt Blvd, to Sigsbee Park, men splic- ing cable into a network through- _ out the areas, cutting and splicing metal terminal boxes onto poles, stringing drop wires from the poles to the buildings and wiring the homes for telephones. “This is one more step in our m to extend the convenience of the telephone to all families in the Key West area,” Gale said. “The construction of new lines in the exchange not only furnishes service to those families but it makes everybody’s telephone ser- vice more valuable because they ean call more people and be call- @d by more people.” COUNTY REQUESTS (Continued from Page One) the Congress appropriates the money. i The request for Federal airport aid is the commissioners’ latest step to bring improved air ser- vice here. Since Jan. 1, Key West has been served by only one round trip daily from. Miami. On that date, National Airlines dropped three of its four daily flights. Tallahassee Trip Yesterday, three county com- missioners and Bernie C. Papy, state representative, were in Tal- lahassee to ask an okay for Pen- insular Airlines to begin daily lights here. The county commitsioners were Joe Allen, Harry Harris and Bent- ley. Barry Vaughan, Peninsular representative, also was at the meeting with the Internal Improve- ment Board. Peninsular wants to link Key West, Marathon, Miami and Tam- pa with a regular schedule. The improvement commission, with Acting Gov. Charley Johns presiding, took no action. The commission said it would deter- mine if it has authorty to issue a franchise for intra-state air ser- vice. It was indicated at the meeting that’ Peninsular can start the ser- vice without an okay from the oramistion. TODAY'S STOCK MARKET NEW YORK (#—Narrowly mixed prices prevailed today in a quiet Stock market in early trading. Prices seldom strayed as much as a major fraction from the pre vious close, Aircrafts were higher and chem- icals were lower. Otherwise, major divisions were steady to mixed. Among higher stocks were Texas Co., Paramount Pictures, Home- stake Mining, and Boeing. Lower were Gulf Oil, American Telephone Kennecott Copper, American Cy- anamid, Republic Steel, and Un- ion Carbide. Corporate bonds were mixed at the start. LAWYER SEEKS (Continued from Page One) wants to use the newspapers to exact a sum of money from him.” Lazar asked that reporters be barred and papers in the case be “One reason we seek to seal these papers is that Joan Benny is an innocent party in this mat- ter. She . . , may be injured by the publicity. Mr. Baker is a stock broker and he can be damaged also.” Eder turned him down, saying: “I am a firm believer in hear- ing satters in open court, unless there is something that will injure public morals . . . There is nothing here to arouse public pprejudice.”’ Joan Scott Baker’s lawyer, David J. Landau, denied any shakedown attempt and added: “There is noth- ing lascivious or scandalous about this matter.” Landau said his client, a blonde model, married Baker in Fior- ence, S. C., July 19, 1951, while he was an Army private. They kept the wedding secret from his fam- ily, Landau said. When Baker’s father found out about the marriage, Landau con- tinued, he put economic pressure on his-son and a Virgin Islands divorce was obtained Jan. 18, 1953. However, Landau continued, the two lived together for nearly 12 months after the divorce or short- ly before Baker met Miss Benny on New Year’s Day, 1954, WM. PRIMROSE WILL (Continued from Page One) day) which was kept—supposedly —out of reach, Aptitude Noted It was Ysaye who finally brought matters to a head. The great violinist heard Primrose play the viola, agreed that he had a special aptitude for the instrument and encouraged him to follow his heart’s desire. The words of the master were law in the Primrose household and the youth was allow- ed to give up the Violin and stake his future on the Amati Viola! His new career, auspiciously begun, was interrupted by a ca- ble from the London String Quartet. The group, then in the United States, was faced with a crisis. The violist was ill—a big tour was booked. Could Prim rose sail at once? He could and he did! Primrose remained with the Quartet from 1930 to 1935 and later gained renown as a soloist. It will mark a music mile- stone for Key West when Mr. Prizorose appears. _ Kay Faraldo Golf Tourney Kay Faraldo captured the cham- Pionship last Friday in the Annual Ladies Handicap Match Play tour- nament at the Key West Golf Club when she defeated Polly West, one- up. The match went the entire 18 holes before Mrs. Faraldo could pull out with a victory. The match, played under perfect weather con- ditions, proved to be a thriller. _Mrs. Faraldo fired a 43 on the | first nines as compared with Mrs, West’s 47 and was two-up on the turn. She took the tenth hole to in- crease her margin. But Mrs. West came back to win the next two holes and Mrs. Faraldo took the 13th. They halved the 14th and Mrs. West captured the 15th hole, leaving Mrs. Faraldo one-up with three holes to go. The final holes were halved to leave Mrs. Faraldo with a one hole edge and give her the match, Mrs. Faraldo’s 18 hole score was 91 and Mrs. West’s 94. It was the third time Mrs. Far- aldo captured the tournament and it gave her permanent Possession of the Joe Lopez Cup. She will also be presented with a trophy by the Ladies Golf Association.

One nuclear specialist, Prof. | Mitsuo Takeya of Rikkyo Univers- ity, said he believes the blast may have been a “hydrogen-caliber bomb,” basing his theory on the belief a regular atomic bomb could not have hurled the radio- active debris 80 miles. He said the ashes were pulverized coral. The United States has said only that the March 1 explosion was an “atomic device.” In 1952, it said a blast which destroyed a coral island was a “thermo- muclear device”—undoubtedly a hydrogen explosion.
