Middle- bush, New Jersey, have tried a new system to curb acts of juvenile vandalism. After rounding up a group of chil- dren who had carried out various escapades in their neigh- borhood, the police took them to headquarters and made tape recordings of their confessions. Then the police scheduled a date for parents of the children to come to headquarters and hear their children’s confessions. The idea is that the parents, upon hearing how their sons and daughters spend their spare time, will best be able to correct the wayward inclinations of their offspring. No doubt many of the parents will be surprised at their children’s free-time activities and the tape record- ings should be an educational experience for them. The Police believe that if the juvenile delinquents are not cor- rected in time, one or more of them could develop into a serious case. Then the police plan to erase the tapes after parents hear their children’s confessions. They are trying this remedy rather than sending the juveniles to a judge, but if this recourse does not produce results, then the delin- quents can “tell it to the Juvenile Court judge.” We endorse the method being tried in Franklin Town- ship, New Jersey, long having believed today’s juvenile delinquency is the result of two things: A lack of super- vision and care from parents and an ignorance on the part of parents as to what their children are doing in their free time. ARE PETTY OFFICERS PETTY? Representative D. R. Matthews, Democrat from Gainesville, Florida, comes up with a suggestion which we will support. He says the Navy ought not to call its enlisted officers “petty” officers. Matthews says he thinks the term “petty” was be- queathed to Americans by the British. And, although he says he is not an Anglophobe, he prefers to use another name in describing the Navy’s enlisted officers, The main reason he objects to the word is the dic- tionary’s definition of it. Petty is defined in the diction- ary as “small, trifling or inferior.” “I am sure these names have no part in the magnificent work that petty officers in our Navy perform,” says Matthews. We have often wondered just why the Navy’s enlisted officers are known as petty officers, and since the word is not a particularly appropriate one for this category of officers, we believe Matthews has come up with some- thing. His proposal to call petty officers “enlisted” of- ficers is about as good as other suggestions, and sooner or later, the Navy will probably discard the word “petty.” Crossword Puzzle ACROSS 1, Dislikes intensely 6.

Border of a garment NOTAS CUBANAS Por RAOUL ALPIZAR POYO UN LUGAR ENCANTADOR A la entrada de la bahia de Cienfuegos, de esa bahia, una de las mas amplias bellas con que cuenta Cuba, hay un Club Turistico que se llama, PASACABALLOS TOURIST CLUB. Quien quiera sentirse durante unos dias, vivien- do en un_ pedazo del paraiso terrenal, de que nos hablan los “grados textos y que lo sitdan alla en tierras de Asia, que tome un omnibus, un avidn o el tren al llegar a La Habana y se dirija a Cienfuegos. Desde su puerto en tina cémoda lanchita, se traslade aPASACABALLOS y estamos se- ros de que al retornar, habra le Hevar en su memoria los mas Sratos recuerdos de su existencia. Hay en ese pintoresco lugar poco conocido por el turismo que visita a Cuba, verdaderos panoramas emotivos. La arboleda, las palmas reales, los arboles frutales y el coniort con que se vive en la Casa Club, son atracciones sufi- cientes, para hacer de dicho lugar uno de los mas interesantes que debe de conocer y visitar ¢l_turista. Hace mucho tiempo, desde que en Cuba se cultiva el turismo, que se ha concretado a La Habana. Cuba, no es la Habana y quizas si la Capital, por ser tan poblada ya y tam cosmopolita, no tenga la belleza, ni sea el lugar mas propicio para’ que el viajero co- mozen a Cuba y pueda formar de ella un acabado juicio. Es preciso visitarla. Es preciso internarse en sus verdes y pinto- Tescos campos. Hay que conocer la hospitalidad exquisita que se ofrece el visitante en lugares como PASACABALLOS, en la bahia de Cienfuegos, para poder tener una verdadera y justa opinion de nues- tra tierra querida. Alli, en ese bellisimo lugar de la Costa Sur, encuentra el viajero, motivos poéticos en grado super- lativo. Alli se cultiva la pesca, la caza y los pacos a través de la bella bahia, visitando el antiguo e interesante Castillo de Jagua, con su leyenda interesante y romantica. Desde PASACABALLOS, se or- ganizan viajes muy bellos por el tio Damuji. Durante los meses de febrero y marzo, se organiza la Pesca del “tarpon”, con verdade- ro éxito y entretenimiento, para los cultivadores de ese deporte. "In viaje a través del rio Caonao, en cuyas riberas paden admirarse frondosos arboles madereros, ya que en esa zona abundan las maderas preciosas. Para aquellos que sienten de- vocion por la caceria de patos, ningun lugar donde se puedan cobrar mas piezas, que en las pinterescas lagunas de San Mateo y Guanaroca. Estos lugares son visitados durante todo el afio, por un gran numero de aficionados a la caza de todas partes de la Republica y del extranjero. Otro de los grandes e intere- gantes atractivos de ese viaje a PASABALLOS, es la visita al hermoso Jardin Botanico que tiene instalado en Cienfuegos la famosa y conocida Universidad de Havard. A este lugar, que ademas de su belleza, tiene la atraccién de la ciencia, acuden los estudiosos de casi todos los planteles de ense- fianze de Cuba, en busca de infor- maciones y de nuevos conocimien- tos. Cerca de este bello lugar de es- parcimiento, se encuentra uno de los grandes ingenios de fabricar azacar de aquella provincia de Villaclara. Se trata del Central So- narias y por lo interesante que es conocer el complicado proceso de fabricar nuestro azicar, la mejor de todo el mundo. Acaso por poseer tantos atrac- tivos, han dado en llamar a PASACABALLOS el “Paraiso del Caribe’. Los medios de tranportacién hacia tan bello e interesante lugar, son cémodos y frecuentes. De la capital cubana salen diariamente dos aviones hacia Cienfuegos. El primero a las seis \y veinte minutos de la manana y el segundo a las ocho de la noche. Al llegar al Muelle principal de la hermosa bahia, muy cerca del aeropuerto, el viajero debe de tomar una cémoda lancha, que lo llevara tras un viaje lleno de emociones y bellezas panoramicas, | hasta PASACABALLOS TOURIST | CLUB. Esas lanchas tienen un comodo itinerario. A las 7 a.m., 7.45 a. m., 11 a.m., 12a.m., 3 p.m., 4 p.m. y 5.30 de la tarde. Por la linea de Omnibus Menen- dez, puede Megarse a la ciudad de Cienfuegos, en cémodos omni- bus, idénticos a los de la Grey- hound que circulan en este pais. Cada hora sale un omnibus rumbo a Cienfuegos. El mas interesante de esos viajes, lo es sin duda al- guna, el que sale de la capital habanera a las 6 a. m., aprove- chando el fresco de la mafiana, para que pueda admirarse la belleza de la campifia cubana, en esa hora temprana, cuando la neblina comienza a_ disolverse castigada por los rayos solares y va apareciendo el campo, como si se descorriese una simbélica cortina, mostrando en toda su plenitud nuestros campos, con sus Suardarrayas de lindas palmeras. En esa hora en que el campesino enyuga sus bueyes y sale a rea- lizar las arduas labores de romper y arar sus tierras, que mas tarde se convertiran en un emporio de riqueza, con sus cultivos menores y el verde de sus hojas. En PASACABALLOS el turista puede lo mismo alojarse en la casa Club, como alquilar una de sus lindas cabafias, en las cuales el confort mas perfecto se ofrece al viajero. Estas cabafias son algunas de mamposteria y otras de madera rustica, dando al lugar un verda- dero encantamiento. Ya va siendo hera de que se trate de llevar al turista, al interior de nuestra Republica. Sobre todo, a aquellos que viajah mas que en busca de diversiones mas o ménos licitas, al mayor numero, que es el que realiza sus viajes, en busca de descanso, de bellezas Panoramicas y muchos de ellos, con el justo afan de ampliar sus conocimientos. Todas las grandes ciudades son Poco mas o ménos iguales. La Habana, es innegable que posee atractives unicos, Sus avenidas, sus teatros, sus Hoteles y sus tiendas. Pero, para los que huyen del bullicio de las grandes ciudades, Para los que van buscando recu- Perar perdidas energias, ningun lu- gar mas apropiado entre otros muchos con que cuenta Cuba, que ese PASACABALLOS TOURIST CLUB, donde encontrara comodi-’ dad, afecto, buena alimentacién y al retornar a su pais, podra decir que ya conoce a Cuba....

A note on the homicide bulletin board failed to find an owner. Watts, meanwhile, left the pen| on his desk and it disappeared.

Brennan senior FWA engineer for the State of Florida, were in Key West con- ferring with city and Navy offic- ials and Ernest Ramsey, manager of the Florida Keys Aqueduct Com- mission and Curry Moreno of the Board of Public Works. They dis- cussed the water and sewer sys- tems in the city. The Key West Players were get- ting three one-act plays ready for production. The Players were “nicely settled in their play house back of the Woman’s Club—thanks to that organization’s civic con- sciousness.” Only $6,000 remained to be col- lected in order to put the Key} West Chapter’s American Red Cross drive over the top. March 31, 1934 Mrs. Calvin Bentley, of Miami | Beach was to arrive early} next week to help the Woman’s Club make final arrangements of the flower show to be held Thurs- | day, Friday and Saturday. The first flower show on a large scale that was held in Greater Miami was under the direction of Mrs. Bentley, who “is one of the best known private horticulturists in the United States. Judge Jefferson B. Browne was a returning passenger over the East Coast after a vacation spent a different points in the state. The roster of Key West Golfers | who were playing in the matches | with the Miami Biltmore Golfers was announced by Clem Price, | captain of the Key West team. | Some of the golfers included, Wm. Demeritt, Jr.; E. A. Strunk; W. P. Kemp; Sam Goldsmith; Prof. O’Bryant; Curry Harris and Berlin Sawyer. Things were quiet on the polit- ical front in Monroe County with William V.

Cousin Jeff and Lewis Haye rushed out of the house at once, while Bobby and Pick and I fol- lower more slowly. For the next fifteen minutes or so we just stood there with that desperately helpless feeling you get when you're forced to look on at wanton destruction, know- ing that you can do nothing about it. All of a sudden a thought ex- ploded in my head with violence. The fire had drawn ali of us away from the house—all, that is, ex- cept Aunt Delphine. And Aunt Delphine had just announced that ing that she knew something about the murders, and wanted to tell it to the sheriff! “Oh, Heaven! it’s all been a trick to get us away!” I cried. “Aunt Delphine! She’s back there alone!” I flung over my shoulder as I turned and started racing back toward the house. I found the front door standin, half open when I reached it, an I couldn’t remember whether we had left it that way or not. “Aunt Delphine!” I called, then held my breath. To my infinite relief, ner voice answered me. “Peter! It's you, chérie? Come and stay with me.” Then I felt her reach up and tug at my sleeve for me to bend cloger. “He’s here,” she whispered quickly. “He’s hiding over there in the closet.” “Who, Aunt Delphine?” I asked. She breathed a single word, Only her poor, misguided im- agination again! I started to draw a sigh of relief, only to have it turn into a gasp midway. She hadn’t said what we had all thought she had been saying ever since Lee’s death; she had said...

The man let out a yell than ran a good second to my own, and clenched fist struck the side of my head with a force that made me see stars, but I hung on. I closed my eyes and prepared to go down fighting—or biting, to be more exact. And then at the final second, help arrived. “Put up your hands,’ Pick’s voice commanded from the door- way. “I've got Grandpére’s squir- in gun, and you know I can use it” The man twisted his body half- way around. “Don’t be a fool, Pick,” he said sharply. “There’s been a mistake. If you'll put that gun down, I'll explain.” “You're right,” Pick said grim- ly. “There has been a mistake, and you made it. I’m keeping this hand back over my mouth, But I |}; let go of my throat.

Genesis 48.9, If you disregard God’s advice it is quite natural for your child to disregard yours. To say that your child would not yield to you under the proper training and right environ- ment, is acknowledging your own weaknesses. Then the only wise step for the law to take is to place a good-sized fine on your negligence. This would defray the expenses and up-keep of a home for your child and the more sober- minded tax payer’s money would not go to hire legal baby sitters, letting you go free from all care and expence. 4 FRIEND TO CHILDREN. POLICE OFFICER PRAISED Editor, The Citizen: When a City patrol car flagged me to the curb as I was dreamily driving along Roosevelt Boulevard the other night, I was, to say the least, mildly surprised. When the arresting officer said I'd run a red light a little ways back, I was more surprised. I didn’t remem- ber passing any kind of a light, let alone a red one. But he acted like he knew what he was talking about, so I kept my mouth shut. Then another surprise. A pleasant one this time. In- stead of him bawling me out like everybody says Key West cops like to do, this officer, a clean-cut young look- ing guy, quietly and courteously reminded me of the vital need for drivers to obey traffic signals for mutual safety. To add to the pleasant surprise, all the time he was talking, and even as he handed me the inevitable ticket, this astonishing young officer addressed me as “sir.” So by the time he got thru with me, I felt like I wanted to go crawl] in a hollow log. His name, I found, was Herman Conley. He’s from Vidalia, Georgia. Somehow, I get the feeling that Vidalia is a pretty nice town. Sincerely, FREDERICK H.

He said: “We should be doing a great dis- service to the free world if we sought in any way to impede the progress of our American allies in building up their overwhelming strength in the weapon which pro vides the greatest possible deter- rent against the outbreak of a third world war.” He told the House there is no foundation for fears that the Amer- ican hydrogen tests would get out assured the House U.
