Tuesday, July 27, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Consideration Is Given To Sigshee Community Problems By BILL SPILLMAN “What we need is a back fence,” Bill Wood, a Sigsbee Park resi- dent, told members of the newly formed Sigsbee Community Coun- cil at their regular meeting last night at the recreation are. Wood has reference to the back fence where people talk over and pass the news, He had in mind a back fence to advertise for new members, he stated. Barbara Mitchell, chairman of the council, pointed out to the members that two of the most im- portant problems of the Sigsbee community are that water sur- rounds the area and is a potential danger to pre-school children, and and the older children. being con- fronted with boredom. “Primary, Problem Miss Kate Currei, an organiza- tional expert and representative of the United Community Defense Services,’ asid that recreation for the children of all age groups was the primary problem at hand. “If this problem alone was taken care of, I believe that we could consider the community council a success,” she said. The Sigsbee Community Council was recently formed to make Sigs- bee Park a community instead of a housing project and to handle the problems of the community in a organized and neighborly fash- mn. On the question of present play areas, one member told the group that her children could not play in the sun because it made them sick. Shelter Play Area This immediately brought up the subject of obtaining a covered or sheltered play area, Another mem- ber suggested that the manage- ment of the park donate one apart- ment in the housing area for sup- ervised children’s activities to keep them out of the sun. Mrs. Spear, wife of Claude Spear, manager of the housing area, pointed out to the group that there were 500 people now on the esting list for housing in Sigsbee Parl Mrs. T. H. Becker informed Mrs. Spéar and the members that there were many apartment vacan- cies in the park that were waiting to be sand blasted. T. H. Roberts, co-chairman of the council, in reminding mem- bers of the expense involved point- ed to the newly-constructed cover over the members’ heads. “It cost $2,500,” he said. “You know they have hurricanes down here and things have to be built to withstand the winds. When the wind comes, off goes the bath tub and in moves the Seminoles.” No Funds on Hand When questioned on what the council now has to work with, Rob- erts explained, “‘We don’t have any money and we don’t have any equipment. But we have been of- fered a lot of support.” He mentioned that the Navy, the American Legion, and City had offered support to the organiza- tion. ‘We've got to hit them while we're hot,” he said. “We may jar some people but we will jar some- thing out of them.” Roberts had reference to support for various recreation plans of the council. F. E. Betting in a discussion sta- ted that a good deal of advertis- ing was necessary to insure tht everyone knew what went on at the meetings and the plans. “I wouldn’t have known about the free watermelon the other night if my next door neighbor had not tokd me about it,” he said. During the meeting, several com- Peron Explains His News Aims BUENOS AIRES, Argent, i>— President Juan Peron says his aim is to place all newspaper enter- prises exclusively in the hands of a single organization of newspa- permen pledged to the service of the Argentine people. His views were expressed at a luncheon when he spoke to news- men who cover Government House. “It has been said we seek a Monopoly over newspapers,” the President said. “I would like a monopoly over newspapers in or- der to place it in the service of Insurance Men DALLAS, Tex. — Insurance executive Bo Howard says he’s amazed at a $205,000 damage ~ filed against him by movie actor John Carroll. Carroll filed suit in District Court here yesterday for injuries-he said resulted from a punch Howard Blind Man Has To Sell Motor SAN FRANCISCO # — Ronald Carlos Taylor, 25, always wanted a motorcycle. He had an opportunity to buy one from a friend last week, one that could do 100 miles an hour, The fact he has been drawing the full state pension for the blind eight years didn’t deter him. He bought it. He rode several interesting blocks before he made a left turn and ran into Miss Barbara Mur- phy, 25-year-old pedestrian. Yesterday, Municipal Judge Charles Peery gave Taylor 30- dy suspended sentence for driving without license, 30 days suspend- ed for violating a pedestrian’s right of way, and six months on pro- bation. Taylor sold the motorcycle.

Lawrence Mitchell, 23, and his brother James, 17, told police they had purchased new suits and were getting haircuts when they spotted thieves taking their new suits out of their automobile parked in front of the barbershop. The brothers chased the thieves. One of the thieves dropped Law- rence’s suit down an elevator shaft and the other robber got away. Lawrence recovered the suit but it was dirty and he said he wouldn’t have time to get it clean- ed before the wedding of his sister Mary today.

Rhee Sees No Unificati nification By SPENCER DAViS WASHINGTON ® — President Syngman Rhee of South Korea said after a conference with President Eisenhower today that he sees ‘‘no possibility of unifying Korea by a peaceful means,” Rhee made the statement to newsmen after the opening of talks with Eisenhower and other Ameri- can officials on military and eco- nomic problems confronting parti- tioned Korea. A reporter asked Rhee whether he and Eisenhower discussed the possibility of resuming the war in Korea. Without saying whether that subject was taken up, the South Korean leader replied: “We see no possibility of unifying Korea by peaceful means,” he said. “I think you all agree on that.” Geneva Conference Rhee mentioned the recent Ge- neva conference on the Far East and the conference at Panmunjom which led to the Korean armistice, and asked: “What have they accomplished? The only thing accomplished is to see the Communist cause grow stronger.” Asked whether Eisenhower agreed with him that there can be no peaceful unification of Korea, |Rhee smiled and said: | “I don’t think I can answer | that.” Rhee described his talk with Ei- senhower as ‘‘very interesting.” He referred to it as ‘something like a family discussion,” and added that neither he nor Eisen- hower was trying ‘‘to fight for his own cause.” The outspoken 79-year-old South | Korean President had set a blunt tone in an impromptu statement on his arrival yesterday for in- tensive talks running through Fri- day. He thanked the American people for their aid but said there would be no unification worries if |the Allies ‘only had a little more courage” in driving out the Com- | munists. He said the reds were not pushed | across the Yalu River because \ “some people had a little cold feet.”” iThe | Weatherman | Says Key West and Vicinity: Partly | cloudy to cloudy today thru Wed- | nesday; scattered showers or thun- | dershowers.
