Safety Plaque Presented City Willigm R. Neblett, Democratic nominee for the State Senate pre- sented the city commission last night with a plaque given by the American Automobile Association for the city’s record of no pedes- trian traffic deaths in 1953. “There is no value like that of human life,” said Neblett, ‘and it is our obligation to society to pre- serve it.” He also thanked the city com- mission, the police department and his fellow citizens for “‘keeping our city safe.” Mayor C. B. Harvey accepted the plaque on behalf of the city. LIGHT STEAM IRON A new travelling steam iron works on a-c or d-c and weighs only 27 ounces when filled with water. Using a detachable bulb as a water container, the iron supplies steam for 17 minutes Without the bulb, it becomes a fully automatic dry iron. WOMEN WARNED =o | SESE | CDR.

Other Complaints Patrolman Edward Pinder also testified that complaints had reached him that “the girls were throwing their arms around sailors ne the street and attracting atten- n,” Miss Dina her arrést, saying: “If I’m arrested for being dressed this way, then there are a lot of women in Key West who should be in jail.” Both of girls appeared in court in the clothing they were wearing when they were jailed. Judge Esquinaldo then a: them to step back so he coul observe their costume. He then consulted the city code and admitted that they were with- in the law. “But persondlly, I think those costumes are too short,” hé com- mented. He then dismissed the charges but warnéd the girls to stay out of trouble and wear more clothing. Altention Trailer Owners!

Ba ee baa Trailer Ordinance Is Passed Monday An ordinance prohibiting the parking of trailers in Key West without the permission of the city commission was passed last night on second reading. The bill, proposed by City Com- missioner Loyis Carbonell, also states that trailers used for moving purposes can only be placed in trailer parks which are already es- tablished. COMMITTEE TO STUDY (Continued From Page One) said: “Of course sodium fluoride isa ign — but I’ve also seen two chi die of an overdose of aspirin.” He went on to say that studies havé shown that there is no in- crease in degenerative processes in citi¢s where fluorides are pre- sent in the water supply. “There is a gentleman in Coral GAtlés who says that soda water causes polio byt that doesn’t mean it ig true,” Dr. Morrison added. He also pointed out that all of the Monroe County medical men that he has contacted are in favor “It will mean a lot to the com- munity. It will help children most- ly — but I don’t think there will be any ebjeetion to that,” Dr. Mor- rison concluded. Douglass based his argument on a collection of abstracts he has compiled. " “I’m not speaking as an authori- ty on water treatment,” he said. He said that fluoridation will re- quire another 10 - 15 years of study before accurate results can be dation in the Russian Ukraine and in Germany and added that fluori- deg have a definite effect on Aus- tralian sheep production, The commissioner Jack Delaney asked that a committee be ap- pointed by the mayor to conduct a study of fluoridation. “Ag far as I am concerned, I don’t know anything about it,” De- laney said.

GASOLINE TAX CUT (Continued From Page One) would receive one of the four cents held by the state road department for primary roads and administra- tion. At present, the city’s share of cigarette tax money can only be spent for streets. But Mayor C. B. Harvey said that the population law had no bearing on Key Weat and Com- missioner Carbonell said that he would not vote to annex areas ad- jacent to the city without the con- sent of the people residing there. Commissioner Delaney agreed with him and pointed out that “you will never get the people to agree to becoming part of the city — they want the services but they don’t want to be in the city.” The commission then voted un- animously to approve the amend- ed resolution. OTHER STORES (Continued from Page une) get into the act and promptly pro- ceeded to do so. A few of the participating 46 merchants questioned on the sub- ject, generally expressed agreeable reaction to the spread of the idea. “Next time,” said one, “it'll be a lot easier to get stores to join. We won’t have to prove that an organized city-wide .Chamber of Commerce sponsored sale can be successful — we have already proved that it is successful.” Identifying Banners The participating stores are iden- tified by red, white and blue ban- ners advertising Key West Bargain Days, and include dealers in al- most every line of merchandise, Each of these merchants must feature at least one item at a real bargain price, and most of them are backing up their featured mer- chandise with considerable dis- counts throughout their stores. Non-participating stores are hold- ing individual sales, and although they are not part of the Chamber of Commerce sponsored Key West Bargain Days group this time, Mrs. Mary Lee Graham, Chamber president, today expressed the hope that next time these mer- chants, too, will join in the organiz- ed sale. Meanwhile, Key West Bargain Days will continue through tomor- row. The stores are doing & bang- up business, and the customer is enjoying the largest array of bar- gains ever seen in these parts. IMMIGRATION OFFICER (Continued From Page One) processing the passengérs on the first plane. McPherson pointed out that all available inspectors attached to the local officer were on duty at the airport in anticipation of the arri- val of the dignitaries. Anonymous Complaint In commenting on the statement attributed to an un-named official that “‘we are never inconvenienced by a delay like this when we visit Cuba,” McPherson pointed out that, Havana is the largest port of en- try in the Caribbean area, where- as Key West is a small port with limited personnel. “We processed them as expedi- tiously as possible under the cir- cumstances, but it would be ap- preciated if in the future any group sponsoring the admission of foreign dignitaries would confer in | advance with the government in- specuont services,”. McPherson said. He added that Cuban Consul Os- ear Morales and Jesus Balbuena, leader of the Cuban contigent, were both aware of the situation and the reason for it and that they made no complaint. COAST GUARD DAY (Continued from Page One) duties are search and rescue, maintaining and‘ servicing aids to navigation, and weather patrol. The later job means keeping a vessel on a designated spot at sea from which weather information is| transmitted to a shore station. | The weather patrol boat algo is equipped with a radio beacon as ‘a nagivation aid. If needed, the boat also serves as an outlying | | search and rescue vessel. The marine inspection branch of |the Coast Guard checks the hulls | and machinery of merchant ves- | sels, among other duties. Port Security Duties } Port security also is a Tespon- | sibility of the Coast Guard — pa- trolling and enforcing the laws against espionage and sabotage in the area of major ports. Tomorrow marks the 164th an- niversary of the Coast Guard. The service was established in| 3790 under the Treasury Depart- ment but was not known by its pre- | sent name until 1915, when the re-| venue cutter service was combin- | ed with the U. S. Life Saving Ser- | viee. In 1939, the Coast Guard took | over the servicing of the nation’s | lighthouses. In 1942, the Bureau of | Marine Inspection and Navigation | was placed under the supervision | J of the Coast Guard. 4 (Continued trom Page One) the hospital.

New equipment for tax assessor and collector: $5,000. New equipment and attendants at county home for indigents: $5,000.

In 1952, this fund called for 1.5 mills. The 1953 budget showed a surplus and only .6 mill was levied. This year, however, the building certificate fund millage is upped to .8 mills in the tentative budget.
