‘Thursday, June 10, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN More Participation Urged In Program Of Council Of Social Agencies In Key West Area The need for more citizen parti- eipation in the various programs under the Council of Social Agen- cies was stressed at a luncheon meeting.of the council’s steering committee which met at the USO- YMCA at noon Wednesday. In order to achieve this, the council set up. three divisions on Tecraation and group work, on health and welfare, and on family and children’s service. Each of these divisions will have a non-professional chairman who will work closely with the profes- sional workers heading the var- fous agencies in the council. The council is actively seeking more interest in coordinating pres- ent services and to help coordin- ate plans for “improvement where improvement is needed.” It was pointed out by Miss Es- ter Bentley, field worker with the United Community Defense Serv- ‘ices, that the first step in the over- all program of providing better services in these three fields is to establish a structure through which these present and future services can be coordinated. She also said that the rapid growth of Key West and the ex- pansion of Naval activities in the area has brought many problems. make it possible for the communi- ty as a wi to carry out overall coming under Social Agencies. cil of Social Agencies organized to further the exchange of ideas and services the Boy and Girl Scouts, youth centers, recreation programs spon- sored by the city and civic organ- izations, and Community Chest agencies will benefit from the ex- panded scope of activities. In order to better acquaint the citizens of Key West with the aims and progress of this plan to estab- lish a community wide planning group, each member of the steer- ing committee will ask persons whom they know to be interested better community planning and ices to attend the next—tunch- eon meeting of the steering com- mittee which will be held at the USO-YMCA on Tuesday, June 22. Bell Descendent Is Recipient Of Free Phone Call FREDERICK, Md. (#—The tele- phone company opened a swanky new outdoor toll. booth near the junction of U.S. Routes 40, 240 and ‘340. ‘The idea was to provide a handy place for to make long- distance calls on their way through. Walter Lanius, company mana- ger, stepped out and hailed a driv- er waiting at a stop light. Would he like to make a free call just to demonstrate how the thing works? The man por no. a Lanius stopped er car made his offer again. “Surely,” said Mrs. Walter K. Myers, wife of a Washington phy- sician on her way home from Mer- cersburg, Pa. She called her aunt, Mrs. David Fairchild, in Miami—a daughter of Alexander Graham Pell.

Soldier’s Wife Is Stranded On The Border PITTSBURGH — A National Guardsman who sent his wife to stay with her mother in Europe while he went to serve in Korea says he hasn’t been able to get her readmitted to this country. His wife is not an American citizen. She’s now stranded in Niagara Falls, Canada, says Charles Ir- vine, 31, who commands Battery C, 708th Antiaircraft Artillery Bat- talion of the National Guard. After returning from Korea, he says, he wrote his wife Lori to come home. She had been with her mother, Mrs. Arthur Mullin, a British subject, in Garmisch-Par- tenkirchen, Germany. “Last month she and our son, and our dog, arrived in Montreal,” Irvine said. “I went up to bring them back. And, by golly, the im- migration officials ‘said she couldn’t come in on a visitor’s I didn’t. know what to think but they wanted papers about our mar- riage, papers about everything, Hell, I just gave up and came back home.” He said he was “getting damned mad.” “TI guess it’s just because of red tape but it’s difficult to understand that kind of red tape. I have my dog but my wife and child are in Niagara Falls, Canada. How about that!” Irvine met his wife while serving in Europe during. World War II. He said after the war he returned to Europe and they were married in 1950 at South Sea, England. “We got a visitor’s visa for my wife and entered the U. S. with no trouble at all,” he said. He was shipped to Korea in 1951 after service in the reserve. “T hardly knew what to do,” he said. “Here I was going to get in the shopting again. So I sent my wife and son to live with her mother.” There was no immediate com- ment from immigration officials on the present difficulty. Ike To Bid For Support Of Program By D. HAROLD OLIVER WASHINGTON (®# — President Eisenhower will make a fresh ap- peal for public support of his legis- lative program in a major televi- sion-radio address tonight. It is scheduled for 8 p.m., EST. His immediate audience for a half-hour speech will be a group of the National Citizens for Eisen- hower Congressional Committee. This group opens a three-day meeting tonight with a congres- sional reception to be addressed by Vice President Nixon. A hurriedly arranged dinner will follow with the chief executive speaking. Up until late yesterday the President had been listed ofly for some brief informal remarks tomorrow. The White House said ABC would ‘carry the speech direct on TV and radio, NBC direct on radio and by delayed film on TV (9:30 P.m., EST) and Mutual on a radio rebroadcast (10:30 p.m., EST). Other coverage was subject to pending arrangements. The President’s decision to go on the air and his choice of forum were significant. He has a strong attachment for the volunteer group that worked for him in his 1952 presidential race and is now en- gaged in a drive to marshal Dem- cratic and independent votes for Republican congressional candi- dates pledged to the Eisenhower program. Also, the White House decision is in line with the President's June 2 news conference statements that enactment of his program is so important to the national welfare that he intends to give what he termed his exclusive attention. He has voiced concern with slow con- | Sressional action on the program. Five senatorial candidates which Citizens Committee officials say have been promised the group’s support were announced today as Senators Kuchel (Calif), Cooper (Ky), Saltonstall (Mass), Fergu- son (Mich) and Cordon (Ore). Prank Injures Tot LONGVIEW, Tex. W—A play- mate, 8, gave a firecracker to 2- year-old Bobby Hughes yesterday, telling him it was a cigar. When Bobby lit it, it blew up in his mouth. Page 7 FOR CRYIN "|Commander Rice By AULD CLOOTIE William Meyers wrote an open letter to Auld Clootie in which he states that he read an article of mine “‘with trepidation.” Now, now, Mr. Meyers, please calm yourself. There is no need for you to get in a state of nervous alarm be- cause of- Auld Clootie. Auld Clootie would never pur- posely disturb your serenity. He realizes that you are a sensitive soul dedicated to esthetic pur- suits. He knows of the tender affinity you have for that exqui- site, fragile, blooming floral world. Among your flowers and roses and the birds and the bees you have found -your sanctuary. When you commune with nature you are lift- ed to transcendental heights. You are in harmony with all living things and you experience rapture: that are pure ecstasy. if This is all very wonderful, Mr. Meyers, so never, never, never ex- pose the gloss of your tender sen- sibilities to the jagged, raw, cal- lous reality of Auld Clootie’s world. Some of the vitriol from my “acid- worded missives” may irreparably tarnish the lustre that emanates from the sublime depths of your benign temperament. Unkind? Maligned! You state, Mr. Meyers, in your epistle to Auld Clootie that I have been unkind to gentlemen. ofxhigh integrity. Your employment of the word “unkind” is a mere’ euphe- mism, I was more than unkind. I just don’t toady to incompetent po- liticians. In private life they may be gentlemen of the very highest integrity. I wouldn’t.put anything Past theme However, my attacks on them have nothing to do with their vir- tues as private citizens. For all I know they may even be kind to children in private life.

You also state that God gave us two ears to hear, but only one mouth to speak and that the world would be brighter if we listened more, and spoke less. Well, the world must be awfully bright to the Russians because all the can do is listen not having a voice in their gcvernment. All-inclusive Clootie You. want to know ‘‘Who are we to pick flaws? Are you a trained engineer as is City Manager Vic- tor Lang?” I don’t know who the “we” is that you refer to but I can certainly assure you that “I” am not one to pick flaws. When you say “pick” you allude to a selective process. I haven’t been choosy about any particular aspects of their incompetence, I just let it ride as all-inclusive. And thank the powers that be that I am not a trained engineer as is City Manager Victory Lang. I have enough troubles of my own with- out wishing that on me. You say that “Only Christ was perfect: and they crucified Him be- cause of His perfection.” Why en- list the Lord’s name as a buttress | to your specious arguments? The Art of Criticism You state that it is easy to con- demn; to find fault. On the con- trary, it is a most discerning art. You have to develop a high de- gree of skill in order to properly exploit the failings_of others. And while you are about your condem- nations and your fault-finding you have to wire the bones of the ske- letons in your closet so that they won’t rattle and give you away. it isn’t easy at all, Bill. It is a most exacting task. To wind up your letter you say that “if possible’ we should all attempt to enrich, ennoble and in- spire our fellow brothers thereby bringing’ greater joy to all.

I’m all for this utopia that you have in mind, Bill, but before we can realize it we have to start at the local level.
