Right Turns On Red Light Many automobile drivers do not realize that it is legal to turn right.on a red light in Key West regardless of whether or not there is a sign to that effect on the light. The: one requirement is that the car must be brought to a full stop and then proceed with caution, yielding the right of way, of course, to the vehicles which are traveling with the green light. The only light in Key West where a it turn cannot be made on. a red light is coming South on Roose- velt Blvd. at the entrance to Sigs- bee Park. Here there is a sign ad- ‘the motorists to proceed ONLY.\6n the green light. These points were brought out at a re- cent Key West Safety Council meeting. Personally, I’m against permit- ting turns of this nature. Too many people fail to even slow down be- fore making the turn, much less stop. Moreover, the poor pedes- trian doesn’t know which way to look for a car if it’ can come up from in back of him as well as up or down the street. Until the city ordinance is changed, however, nothing can be done so if you like to make such turns, they are legal. Just make sure you don’t have an ccident, Judges Work To Save County Fees BOSTON (@—The City Council learned yesterday municipal jud- gés have been ‘‘working overtime” to keep $30-a-<day special justiees off the bench so five courtrooms can be repainted. The $6,000 they saved through the overtime now is in the Suffolk County payroll a¢count, Chief Jus- tice Elijah Adlow reported. The Council approved his request to have the sum transferred to the aceount for contractual services to brighten up the courtrooms. The aneient Greeks believed that the tongues of snakes had healing properties, hence the snake in the symbol used by doctors.

The four- ship was test flown there yesterday, a distance of 60 air miles, The craft has a wingspread of 182 feet, double wins & the nose gear and double landing gear wheels in tandem which retract into the fuselage. It can be loaded from the rear of the fuselage. Designed for logistics support, assault missions, and air evacua- tion duties, it has T56 Allison en- gines capable of lifting it quickly.

AAAAAAAAAAMAABADAAAALALASAAABZABAADASA, | Sacer Sn nm By unanimous acclaim, attorney Tom Watkins was named champion chilau chef of the Florida keys Sun- day by a goes at Hilario Ra- mos’ Big Key fishing camp. Chilau, for the benefit of those new to these parts, is an ambrosial preparation which blends our na- tive keys seafood (shrimp, craw- fish stonecrabs, ete.) into a savory and truly delicious dish which has been a favorite of Key Westers for years. Chilau, actually, is what those New Orleans chefs are aiming at when they prepare shrimp creole. A lot of Conch cooks could give them some good tips. Watkins whipped up several gal- lons of the savory concoction Sun- day, On hand to enjoy it were his daughter and son-in-law, Henry and Bev Smith, of Sarasota; Marge and Oliver Seags, of Tampa; Mary and Horace Stancel, and Carl and Catherin Fisher, of St. Louis; Ben Davis, Miami; Harold and Marion Sasnow, of Key West, and the writ- er. Now, to get back to the chilau. Watkins spent several hours in its preparation. Onions, garlic and sweet peppers were prepared early in the morn- ing and simmered to the right con- sistency in olive oil. Tomatoes were added and the stuff was simmeréd some more. Watkins culinary artistry reach- ed its peak at this point. Like a conductor drawing beau- tiful music from a symphony or- chestra, he added a pinch of ore- gano, some bay leaves and hot pep- rs. Pehen the crawfish and stone crabs were added. The mixture bubbléd as the guests, their appetites whetted by holiday pursuits and the tang of the galt air, eyed the pot hungrily.

In other words, it isn’t what you put in the chowder, it’s when and how you put it in. Oldtimers will remember Jesus as a partner in the operation of Delmonico’s Restaurant on Duval St. That establishment ‘was nation- ally kntwn for its superb Spanish | cuisine. Now the Key West Yacht Club has the benefit of Jesus’ epicurean artistry. ke Somebody dropped a couple of copies of the Auckland, New Zea- land Weekly News off at The Citi- zen Monday and there is a story therein which will probably stir the memories of many Navy men who took part in the Pacific war. It concerns their observance of the 12th annivers of the Battle of the Coral Sea. The affair was marked by a visit to Auckland of the giant carrier Tarawa. Hardly seems like 12 years ago that the nation and its allies were locked in a desperate struggle to hold on and prevent further ad- vances by the Japanese in the South Pacific, does it? The battle of the Coral Seas was a decisive factor in preventing the invasion of New Zealand. steaming rice with hot Cuban bread, they really did justice to it.
