THE STATE OF THE WEATHER Dr. Hans Ahlmann, director of the Swedish Geo- graphical Institute, says the earth’s climate has been warming steadily for the past century. He says the warm- er temperatures have caused significant developments in all parts of the world and that the warming-up process has been accelerated in recent years. Other weather experts agree that average tempera- tures are now about two degrees higher in winter and about one degree higher year-around than they were in 1885. The warming-up process has melted major glaciers and has thawed out areas in Siberia, Canada, Alaska, and Northern Scandinavia which were hitherto, uninhabitable and treeless, Long-term predictions indicate that if the present trend continues, the United States may experience a dust- bowl situation in a few years such as that experienced in thé 1930's. Many experts also believe that temperatures will continue to warm up and, that, in the not-too-distant future, semi-tropical weather will extend into the middle regions of the United States. This latter condition would require centuries of time to be attained, but if the trend is not reversed, the ultimate prediction is that semi-tropical and tropical weather will extend all the way up to New York and New England, and that palm trees and coconut could be grown in those regions. @PLY PILLS AND ULCERS A new 6-ply pill was recently exhibited at the Ameri- can Medical Association's St. Louis meeting. Doctors stag- ing the exhibit say it has been‘used successfully to treat ulcers in the stomachs of a number of patients and that so far no bad effects have resulted from taking the pills. The exhibit in the A.M.A*meeting was staged by Drs, Leo Hardt and Frederick Steigmann, of Loyola Uni- versity and Cook County Graduate School of Medicine, and Clarence A.'Maske and Robert Grover, of the Uni- versity of Colorado Schoo] of Medicine. The pills combine four different anti-acids. These acids counteract stomach acidity, which in turn is the cause of worsening ulcers. To these four acids is added 2 fifth element—an oatmeal extract. This extract report- - edly binds the anti-acids together and releases them over &@ period of hours. : The sixth element is a gummy material which coats the lining of the stomach and the duodenum. According to the doctors, the new pills—which are not yet for sale— have relieved pain from ulcers within days in most of the cases thus far tested. The most promising thing about the pills is that used together they produce no harmful effects, whereas used separately some produce undesirable effects. The incon- venient thing about the treatment is that patients must take about twenty-four pills a day for at least six months, after which they must take fewer pills for another six months. This is the only unpleasant part of the new treat- ment, which may represent a significant milestone in the treatment of stomach ulcers. WET MALT ARMNF IED) AIVIEMNPIAIRISIE!

Small fish Juvenile Delinquency Is Problem For Parents By EARL HOFELDT Monterey Peninsula Herald MONTEREY, Calif. (” — The other day I talked with a high school freshman whose parents are members of the Late Hour and Elbow Behding Society. Jokingly, I asked: “‘Do you think you'll be a delinquent?” “Well,” he responded, “I’ve got the right background.” As everywhere else, the causes and responsibilities for delinquency lie mainly with parents. Young- | sters know this, as the lad I talked with indicated cleerly. Monterey is an unusual area, in some ways. This city, and Carmel, | both on the coast, are areas of ex-| pensive homes, Carmel is a widely | known art colony. Monterey’s pop- | ulation is about 20,000. Carmel’s 8,000. Inland is rural King City, | primarily agricultural, with 2,600) persons in the city limits. | Yet it was here that the penin-| sula’s worst riot occurred one night last summer. It stemmed from a dispute over whether a gang of Mexican or Swiss-Italian youths had primary rights to “drag’—as they call it—the main street in their souped-up cars. Six- teen Mexicans and 31 Swiss-Ital- ians met in a vacant lot. When it was over, one of the latter was dying of a knife wound, two others were seriously hurt. Police rounded up every youth, lectured | each of them and their parents on| their responsibilities, Since then, | not one of the boys has been back | in court. The peninsula’s over-all rate of) juvenile delinquency is slightly un- der California’s state average, well | below the big metropolitan areas. | But it’s climbing steadily, par- ticularly on car thefts and bur- glas. Sophisticated Carmel has other problems, too. Police Chief Clyde Klaumann had to’ warn parents they could serve their own children drinks in their own homes—“but not other | people’s children or we'll have you | charged with contributing.” Easter | “Hell Week” in this resort town | was long a problem, with an influx | of youngsters from other cities to this resort area. They were de- structive, insulting, defiant. Klaumann’s men started picking them up and writing letters to their parents. It has helped keep the kids in line. They were tough just so long as Mama didn’t know. Klaumann firmly believes that the parent should be linked— through moral and legal responsi- bility—to the acts of his child. When a boy is picked up after Carmel’s strict 10:30 p.m. curfew, for example, he is taken to police headquarters and his parents Phoned. They are told they must come and take their. child home. Perhaps Pop has to roll out of bed to come and get Junior. Per- haps the police call broke up a party. Whatever the case, the par- ents have been inconvenienced. Thus their responsibility is brought home with emphasis. “We don’t want to send young- sters to court unless they're sbso- lutely hopeless or if they’re three- time offenders,” says Klaumann. “Usually, by maintaining a close link between the youngster and the parents, we can work out the problem right here. This works to everyone’s benefit. The youngster is not placed in official custody and no jail record is written up against him.” Here’s the program of Monterey Police Chief Charles E. Simpson for building sound parent-child re- lationships: had 1 Start working with your wt youngster when he’s very young, from the time he’s able to walk. 2, Be a real friend to your child. Talk his language. Be wise to modern slang. Thirty years ago you said, ‘Hot ziggity.” Today your son says, ‘‘Real George.” 3. Build trust. Don’t deceive your child. Don’t lie to him. 4. Build faith. Don’t let your youngster catch you boasting of some unlawful act you got away with or some crooked deal you put over successfully, 5. Get out and play with your child. Play catch. Boot a football. Take hikes. 6. Make your youngster con- scious of spiritual things, of the great unknown. ~ This Rock Of Ours ’ By Bill Gibb Juvenile delinquency is suppos- ed to be on the rise here in the State of Florida. That shouldn’t surprise any of us when we con- sider the adult attitude toward the problem. Few of us care, few of us show any interest in young ones—other than our immediate kith and kin, of course. And even with our own blood, we're not particularly interested in guiding their lives in the paths of right-doing. No, we let them blunder along until they are in trouble ,then we show our mag- nanimous hearts by ‘pulling strings’ to teach them that it isn’t ‘what you do but who you know ’that counts in this world. We have a Juvenile Council here in Monroe County, Have you shown any interest in its func- tion? Have you considered the need for a Children’s Home and helped in any way to secure one? You needn’t answer those questions. I can do it better and more truthfully for you—99 and 9/10’s of the residents of Monroe County have either been too lazy, too selfish, or too ignorant of lo- cal conditions to bother them- selves about the problems of chil- dren! Yet when we grow old, it is the young folks of today upon whom we're going to have to de- pend for help. Let’s hope they | have more of the spirit of charity and Godliness than you and I are displaying! Juvenile Delinquency Condemning the juvenile de- linquent without investigating the primary cause of his action makes my blood boil. It is the same type of narrow-mindedness which places a curse upon illegiti- mate children and allows the par- ents to escape with a sympathetic pat on the back. I'm not saying that there is no such thing as a bad child. There certainly is. But, outside of a few mental cases, I don’t think there is any badness in children which cannot be traced to adult delin- quency. There isn’t too much we can do to combat the situation amongst adults, Truth of the mat- ter is that the adult delinquent usually has enough political ‘pull’ to be able to spit in your face and tell you to go jump overboard, However, the majority of human beings are decent. We can see to it that our youth don’t come into contact with the adult criminal. A Juvenile Home is one step in that direction. Unwanted Children | You might be shocked to learn that there are dozens of unwanted | children right here in Key West. They wander the streets, search- ing for love ,and—incidentally— expressing their rebellion against the injustice of humanity through destructive acts. While on the police force, I found children between the ages of 6-10 walking the streets at 1 - 2 - 3 o’clock in the morning. I’ve taken teen-agers—boys and girls —from adult males at all hours of the night. And what I did is being repeated daily by other po- lice officers. You may ask, why aren’t these j cases presented to the public? There are two answers—most po- licemen know that the child will be made the ‘goat’ if such cases are brought to court and, under present conditions, without a Ju- venile Home, the youth will be |confined in a morale-crushing, filthy jail. | The second answer is that the |public prefers to remain blind | to conditions. The police officer who pushes for decency is invit- | ing more trouble then he can han- dle by himself. We can conquer | juvenile delinquency but only when the public wakes up to con- ditions that exist in Key West. Price Reduction Rouses Suspicion MALDEN, Mass. (®—A haber-bought the goods from several men dashet is charged with suspicion of larceny because the young sales- woman of a rival store noticed his cut-rate prices. Miss Joan Lack, 16, spotted a sign in the store advertising polo shirts at three for a dollar. She told her boss, Martin Bron- identified employes, ORIOLE WANTS TO BE DOMESTICATED BALLSTON SPA, N.Y. w—Life in the wild is not for Tweeter, the Be ean ok Mr snd Mire Matthew as former Bronstein stein, 42, that “‘someone’s beating | Zee! your prices.” Bronstein’s wife investigated and found that the polo shirts resem- bled those stolen from che Bron- stein warehouse, The proprietor of the cut-rate store was arrested on suspicion. Police quoted him as saying he The Zeebs let the bird out for daily flights. An hour or so later, a pecking at the back door lets them know the bird wants to come in. The Zeebs found the oriole in a field about a year ago, apparently \ after it fell from its nest. i Hal Boyle Says NEW YORK (# — Will American women now turn to smoking pipes or cigars? There has been considerable hopeful tub-thumping that this will happen as a result of the .ecent discovery that cigarettes can’t take away wrinkles or build either muscle or character. The pipe manufacturers already are joyously rushing into produc- tion with .a series of dainty- stemmed, colorful little chimneys designed to match milady’s purse, belt and shoes. The cigar boys are less optimis- tic about invading the feminine market on a mass basis. But here and there you can hear them mur- mur wistfully “After all, ladies of fashion in some European countries have enjoyed cigars in public for generations. Why not here?” Well, if women care for what one man says (and what women do?), they'll either stick sturdily to cigarettes or, if they insist on changing their tobacco habits, switch to chewing tobacco or snuff. For years I was a voice in the wilderness, crying for women to take up cigars or pipes. I pointed out that cigars helped Amy Lowell write fine poetry; they made “Poker Alice” one of the best card gamblers in old Deadwood, S.D., palmy mining days, It seemed reasonable that since women wanted more and more to act like men, dress like men and talk like men, they ought to smoke cigars and pipes like men. This held out the possibility that in time they could even BE like men— reasonable, thoughtful, easy-going, peaceful, and less quick to detect and find fault with those small flyspecks that mar even the best of husbands, This illusion has vanished. I have thought the whole thing through and decided that a nation of cigar-or-pipe-smoking women would be a national disaster—from the male viewpoint. Take the simple matter of cost. No family budget today is large Novel Invention Offered For Cabs TOKYO (A Japanese Rube Goldberg has come to the aid of distraught taxi fleet operators who have been powerless to prevent cab drivers from syphoning off a ma- jor share of the profits. By failing to turn on the meter the driver gets the fee himself. To prevent this, an ingenious inventor has created a device which works thus: . 1, Passenger enters cab and sits on seat, thereby pressing button under seat. 2. Button under seat lights sign on roof of cab which says cab is ied and meter should be operating. 3. Button under seat turns on counter: which checks distance traveled between time man sits down and meter is turped on. To the disguest of the taxi driv- ers, more than 2,000 of these de- vices are on order with the inven- tor-manufacturer. Key West In Days Gone By (July 8, 1934, fell on Sun- day.

And if somebody has to serimp on his stogies, it won’t be mama. It'll be papa. He’ll be wan- dering around the house cadging TIME FOR FIREWORKS Editor, The Citizen: This is an appropriate time for © fireworks:— July 4th, 1954; — but her stumps from the ashtrays. The cost factor also will enter into pipe smoking. Do you think for a moment that a wife will be satisfied with Gen. Douglas Mac- Arthur’s famous corncob model? Nay, indeed. She'll need a separate pipe for every house dress or cock- tail gown she buys. A pipe will become just another accessory to her wardrobe, and don’t think the Pipe she wears out in the evening won't have to be plated with silver or gold and studded with some- thing more expensive than rhine- stones. There is still another problem. America doesn’t produce enough matches or lighters to keep the ladies supplied if they switch to cigars or pipes. Nor would the gallantry or muscle of American manhood be equal to the task of keeping mama lit up. I figure some man has to scratch three matches for every cigarette a woman smokes today. Think how arm-weary men will become if they have to keep her pipe or cigar fuming. All it can it in is more divorces, with the husband whining: i “Judge, she smokes 4 cigars a night, and I have to light each cigar 40 times, and that’s 160 matches, and I'm so worn out I can’t do my work next day. Give . me the kids, judge, and I'll be glad to pay her cigar alimony.” No, the sensible thing for women to do, if they must cbange at all, is to switch back to chewing to- bacco. Some pioneer mothers used chawin’ terbaccy—and when has the world created a finer breed? When a wife is gnawing on a cud of good old Peachy Plug you can be sure of one thing—she'll be too happy and contented to burn out her old man’s ear with small mean i talk. It'll bring peace and quiet to the home. Boy Carries Out Threat ToCome Home NEW YORK (# (P— For 14-year- old Peter Devlin Smith there is no place like home, even if this home is in hot, muggy New York. His parents, however, thought it would be a good idea if the boy spent the summer in Norway, where he goes to school. This idea Pete didn’t like at all. And the tall, blond boy had made it quite clear. ““If you don’t send me passage money to come home, I'll stow- away,” he warned in a letter. But his mother and stepfather, Nora and Kendall Smith, apparently had underestimated this grim determin- ation. Pete didn’t get the money. , when they returned whatever is written herein is the humble, honest opinion of the writ- er, who has tried to observe the truth during the 15 years he has | spent in Key West. I anticipate repercussions, I expect threats, none of which I fear. I have lived fully 65 years, and no man con- trols my thinking:— no man or men can persuade me in any way, by favor or money to record in- tegrity when it is lacking. I write as the heart dictates in an endeav- or to present to my adopted city; untarnished truth. Bienvenido G. Perez, Chief. of Police, in the City of Key West has been on said Police Force for 34 years. For the 15 years I have been here, I have often seen him mak- ing friends of visitors by his gen- tle, kindly manner. He has not known that I observed this;— he has not known that visitors have told me how generous he was with time explaining to them how they -- broke a law;— or guiding them to points of interest in this city. His is as fine an example of. - friendliness toward strangers as. - one may find anywhere, We all - owe him a bouquet of orchids for his splendid services, and particu- larly for his running of the Police « Department since our Commission- ~. ppointed him. Keep him where © . Many can possibly do as well;—few can better his wonder- ~ ful methods, This I learned from the lips of various officers under his command. They like him and - his fairness . . . That is why I ~ record it here. I wish him to know ~ what his fellow brothers think of “ him. They are giving him flowers * while he is alive and can smell them; — flowers he has’earned; ° flowers he richly deserves. A man of spirit cannot go through life without envious enemies; one can- e everyone. Don’t attempt : if you do, sorrow awaits, ie majority with your up- standing methods and fineness, and the people will reaognize your | worth, and back you to the limit,” as they are now doing. There are © people on this sad earth who do not relish the TRUTH:— the one ques- tion:— “what is best for ME?" If a vote of recognition and thanks were taken in this city, Mr. Chief of Police, Bienyenido G. Perez's, name would glow with the light of truth. WILLIAM, MEYERS, Hotel La Concha July 4, 1954. FELLOW TRAVELERS JAILED. IN BRAZIL RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil w— Police say they have arrested 29 members “or ‘fellow travelers in Brazil's outlawed Communist party in the last 10 days. It appears to be a pre-election crackdown. In 1953 the U.S. auto industry consumed 6,400,000 tons of cold rolled sheet steel. ; a passengers, playing deck games and sleeping in shower rooms. As for food — it was simple, ex- plained Pete. “Hallo, Papa,” he heard. here I am,” It took some time for Papa to figure out what was going on. Fin- ally an immigration official got on the phone and explained. Yes, Pete was here waiting to be picked up. Later, at his Manhattan home, hannsen decided to come over. So they walked aboard the Norwegian American Line flagship Oslofjord on the crew gangplank, and that was it. “I traveled on that ship before, you know,” Pete said. He had with him $10 and a bag containing pants, shirt, ¥ socks and underwear. The two spent nine davs aboard the ship, mixing with the paying The first day out when the ship docked in Copenhagen they © got landing cards like any other pas- senger and had sandwiches ashore. e rest of the time w cookies mostly,” said Pete. “We'd ask the cook for some and he thought we were passengers.” The pair was discovered in the luggage room, only five hours be- fore the ship docked last Frid: Jon, Pete’s compa: wal tained aboard to be returned to Norway Pete’s parents, however, could not be located as they were out of town, and the immigration ser- vice offered him a shelter at Ellis Island.
