VOCATED L 2. 3. 4. 5. THE “POGO STICK” FLIES The Navy surprised a number of air observers re- cently when it staged a successful flight of the XFY-1. The XFY-1 is a revolutionary-type aircraft, which lands and taes off in a vertical position. Although the Navy made the first successful flight of the “Pogo Stick” in a huge hangar in California re- cently, the demonstration does prove that the new-type aircraft is feasible and that it will. probably become an accepted design in the aeronautical world. The major possibility in this field is that an aircraft of this type will be speeded up with either jet or rocket thrusts, while maintaining its very useful capability to take off and land vertically. The possession of a fleet of such fighter planes would give this country’s air arm tremendous advantages. For instance, a fleet of such fighters could land almost anywhere and would not re- quire a major installation for operational use. Such air- craft would also allow carriers to grow smaller, instead of larger, and enable these floating airfields to present a smaller target to enemy bombers. It is reported that the type aircraft recently success- fully tested by the Navy can attain speeds of five hundred miles an hour, or better. If a plane of this type can be produced which will achieve speeds comparable to those achieved by the F-86, and other modern fighters, it is likely that will become one of the major types of opera- tional fighters. There are people who think everybody wants to know how they feel, and why, What has happened to those people who thought it was wrong to take an automobile ride on Sunday. Civilization, thus far, has not produced many women who smoke cigars, but we expect the situation to arrive. A boy becomes something of a man when he under- stands that every boy cannot be President of the United States. 1 Every boy should have the opportunity of playing baseball in his youth but the game cannot be played in the public streets. What the nation needs is more statesmen who want to know what is right before trying to ascertain the num- ber of votes involved. ; Intelligent editorials should stress both sides of an issue and express an opinion. Editors who always come out fighting with solutions to every problem of the day, every day, often do more misleading than leading.

Dutch commune PEOPLE’S FORUM The Citizen welcomes ressions of the views of its read- but the editor reservists tight to delete any items which onsidered libelous or unwarranted. The writers should be fair and confine the letters to 200 words and write on one side of the paper only. Signature of the writer must pesomeeny the letters and will be published unless requested otherwise. PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL NEED Editor, The Citizen: I was amazed to learn from a good friend, a Conch, that there is no Psychiatric Hospital in the whole of Monroe County. That fact causes relatives to make an all day trip, up and back, leaving only a little time for a welcome and infrequent visit. To explain my interest in the matter, Phychiatric Nurse these past 23 years. Tama I am a proper- ty owner in your fair city and, like relatives of the mentally ill, my visits ate all too short, and too far in between. A mental patient, no matter how disoriented feels the need of seeing his loved ones. As a matter of fact, the visits can be of great therapeutic value. If one had to travel the same distance to visit a physically ill person, I can guarantee something would be done to alleviate the situation. .This is not a case of being out of sight out of mind. Relatives of the mentally ill in any given community are far in the minority and usually too ashamed to admit that one of their loved ones is “crazy.” Therefore this must be the reason no hue and cry has ever been made. To my mind the rich State of Florida could wall af- ford to build that convenience for the people of Mnoroe and neighboring counties. effort to try to get one.

August 16, 1954 SEA SECRETS Sea secrets prepared by the Marine laboratory of the Universtiy of Miami, acting as official research agency for the Florida State Board of Con- servation. Questions are wel- comed and should be addressed to SEA SECRETS, in care of this newspaper. . Q Recently I read where a member of the Marine Laboratory used a “‘Shrimplupe” on an ex- ploratory trip shrimp beds. Can you tell me how the Shrimplupe differs from the “Fishlupe” and a Fathometer? James Day, Miami. A.—The “Shrimplupe” is a shal- low water modification of the German “Fishlupe” and is used in depths up to 70 fathoms. The shrimplupe differs from the depth- recorder in that a small part of the water column can he focused on, giving more detail of this section, and omitting the water above and below.- The signal is in the form of light on a cathode ray tube. Thus, the shrimplupe does not give any permanent record of its findings as do most modern depth recorders.When the shrimplupe is in operation a one-sixteenth inch beam of light travels vertically down the face of the slope. As the sound impulse strikes the bot- tom of the ocean the ray fans out horizontally on the screen, giving a characteristic picture of the bottom. Typically the picture of the im- pulse is wide and thick in soft muddy bottoms; in hard bottoms the picture is narrow and some- what arrowhead shaped. The a- looking for new ‘in character. The pove form will also appear when a hard bottom that is covered with mud is encountered. Bot- tom objects such as coral and sponges are easly identified from their characteristic burst of the light beam as it strikes them. The burst that is characteristic of coral can best be described as a one dimensional view of a pyra- mid made by a child’s building blocks. Sponges give a flattened squatty signal somewhat elipsoid width of the beam under the boat is one-third that of the depth of water in which the shrimplupe is operating. For example, if the boat is fish- ing in 30 fathoms of water the width of the beam on the bottom is 10 fathoms. Considerable de- tail can be had of any two-fathom section of the water column under investigation by use of a device in the shrimplupe. A body of fish or any other object that has been spotted in the beam of light may be brought out and enlarged by selecting the two fathoms in which they are ‘present. MEXICAN PAPER RAPS PHONE CO. MEXICO CITY ~Ultimas No- ticias, Mexico City’s largest after- noon newspaper, complained in a front-page story yesterday that it hasn’t had a telephone for two weeks. . ‘ The newspaper said it had re- ported the breakdown to the tele- phone company and every day had been promised quick action. But two weeks have passed without te- sults, the paper said, and it is having “great difficulty” in cover- ing the news, Japan May Raise Reparations Pay TOKYO (~The top Byrma-Ja- pan reparations negotiators met in their second session today and in reportedly began point by point discussions of proposals made by both nations. Neither side would reveal the amount of war damage to be paid by Japan in the two proposais. An informed source said the total in the Japanese offer is close to 100 million dollars—mostly in goods and services. The source said, how- ever, that Japan is g0 anxious to settle the Burma rations ques- tion she may go er, if the increase is held to technical aid.

Finally, Dora, a pert littl blonde, walked into the store pe told the owners she wanted that piano and would make payments of 50 cents a day on it. It was a deal and she made the money by selling newspapers. After she had paid $40, the piano company gave her the piano. The manager’s wife, Mrs. Lee Gable, even agreed to give her lessons. ‘That was two months ago. To- day, Dora not only can play tunes but she also has become a teacher in her own right. She is teaching a friend, Penny Tre¢ky, who al- ready can play two songs, Deed Mix-up Is Corrected OKLAHOMA CITY # — Two heighboring f a milies were sur- prised to learn they are living in each other’s home.

Reason for this particular piece is a story we read in a certain “big-city” newspaper yesterday. It was supposed to give us the inside dope on the volatile For- mosan situation. It was written by a friend of ‘Ours, who we happen to know, has no mote knowledge of the situa- tio than we do — and that isn’t much, The military “experts” have a a style all their own, There are several expressions on whieh they lean rather heavily in their writings. Here they are, in part: The con- Junction “if,” the prepositional Phrase ‘“‘on the other hard,” the adverbs “however” and ‘possi- bly.” The phrase, ‘informed sour- ces” and the verb “loomed” also pop up quite often in their writ- gs. Consider this mythical news story as an example: “TAIPEH, FORMOSA — The POSSIBILITY of an early out- break of hostilities between Chin- ese Nationalist and Red forces LOOMED today, aecording to IN- FORMED SOURCES. HOWEVER, the attitude of the Reds is the key to the situation. IF they can agree with Genetal Achoo’s terms, the NEW YORK W—“it ee a damy good man to owe a° million dollars,” said Eugene T. Barwick. It takes a pretty good fellow. to go on from thete and earn a miil- lion dollars, too. On both counts Gene Barwick is quite a guy. Now only 40, Barwick in five years has parlayed $4;500 cash into a 30-million-dollar yearly busi- ness in tufted carpets. This has given him a reputation of being one of the tep boy wonders of in- dustry. While some rug manufacturers were usifg their product to deaden the sound of their own falling tears, Gene has built his carpeting firm to a point where it ig now the fifth largest in the world. “But we believe there is room for a 100-million-dollars-a-year business in tufted rugs and car- peting,” he said, ‘‘and we are will- ing to be the first.” ‘ Barwick figures hé can do this if he can make wall-to-wall carpet- ing customary in the American home, and if he ean ane progeee cal cheaply enough so that a pen aah wi teak she ean afford to change them every time she changes her draperies. Small tufted cotton rugs boomed during the war period, but many manufacturers thought housewives no longer would buy them when wool was more pli “They liquidated,” said Barwick, “and they were wrong.” i In 1948 Gene, who had served as a naval lieutenant in the Aleu- tians during the war, quit his job with a Chicago mail order firm. He had been ‘ing its carpeting for years and felt he knew the kind women wanted—inexpensive but durable. “T met a bedspread manufac- workers one year to plan and complete the hat.

No paper.) Dick Says T’'ve searched in vain for some news item concerning the forward advances being made by the Key Fire Department. Guess I'll have to write it myself. Arthur Curry has been employed as Inspector with the KWFD. You can see him on the streets every- day checking buildings and fire ex- tinguishers. Chief Cremata is to be complimented for initiating this program, Fire can be a terrible tragedy — to businesses as well as homes. And the time to prevent a fire is before one occurs! Inspector Curry jhas a lot of responsibility in his new job. He can help all of us to lower our insurance rates by doing his work properly. Curry spent several years doing similar inspection work with the U. S. Navy. He is thoroughly qua- lified — is conscientious and will- ing. All of our firefighters deserve | praise. Past performance has pro- ven that they are a select group whose mein duty in life is to help others. Just recently, the KWFD joined the Key West Safety Coun- cil almost to the man. One thing has occurred which I do not think is fair — the assign- ment of firefightets to make auto- mobile ‘inspections. The men will tell you that they are not mechan- jics — that they’re not qualified to make these inspections. I agrees with them. But let’s not get off on automo- bile inspection today — it is a headache! The merits of the pro- gtam far outweigh any bad points, however, and time alone will work out the present undesirable featur- es of the inspection.
