Auditorium. FUTURE USE OF ARMOR It is reliably reported that the use of armor in mod- ern armies is being heavily emphasized by General Matt- hew B. Ridgway, Army Chief of Staff. There is little doubt that Ridgway is emphasizing the tank more than some of his predecessors, and, therefore, the question of the future role of the tank in atomic warfare hag been raised. We call attention to this, at this time, because the U. S. Army is now expanding its armored divisions (at a very mild pace) to three Regular Army and three Nation- al Guard armored divisions. Of the three Regular Army divisions, one is in Germany and two are at Fort Hood, Texas. The California, Texas and New Jersey National Guard divisions are either already, or being made, arm- ored divisions. The present controversy over the role of armor in modern warfare reminds us of that which raged in the 1980’s. It will be remembered that, at that time, the Russians were placing heavy emphasis on the role of arm- or, and that the German General Staff was badly split on the role armor should play in modern warfare. Ridgway, who has had considerable experience re- cently in Korea, values’ the tank very highly and thinks the U. S. Army should be more heavily mechanized. In this view we are in complete accord with him. In fact, we would like to see the day when at least fifty per cent of the Army’s divisions were armored divisions. The argu- ment that anti-tank weapons have increased inefficiency to the point where the role of the tank is debatable leaves us unimpressed. : : In the future, the tank will play’ an”enlarging role in warfare, and the tank which can be carried by large aircraft will be able to create more havoc behind enemy lines than ever beforer PURREIER SED = ‘SOC eaRaneneh am ‘; Too many peopléconfuse emotionalism with calcu- lated foreign policy. § : The voter will need a gas mask frequently between now and the November elections.

Pigpen This Rock Of Ours | By Bill Gibb William Russell—“the parakeet ;" man’’—has saved the day for this column by furnishing the following material. Personally, I think Rus- sell is actually working as an undercover publicity agent for the telephone company—nevertheless, the information he submitted is interesting: There are no business or personal listings under the let- ter “X” in the new telephone directory. This is the only let- ter of the alphabet that, does not appear in the directory. The first personal number listed is that of D. W. Abel, 2121 «Harris § Avenue. Five other listings precede — this name, all business numbers. The last personal listing in the directory is Zuhorst, B. W., 1213 White Street. 4 * ‘There are only five personal listings under “Q”. Four other numbers under this let- ter are business phones. There are no two names alike. Seven personal listings under “U". And again no two names are alike. All other listings under this letter are business, government agencies, etc. All listing under “Z" are per- sonal—sight in all. Only the Zimmermans predominate — there are two listings in this name. Fifteen personal listings ap- pear under “I. Ingraham appears three times, all other names are different. Other list- ings under this letter are for business establishments. There are 21 listings under “y", one of which is for a business. Young appears five times, Yates four times, Yaccarino three times, and Youmans twice. D. W. Abel D. W. Abel, 2121 Harris Ave., who—according to Russell—is the first -personal listing in the new book, happens to also be one of our newest residents. He is a Navy Chief. Transferred in to Key West from Pensacola last May. Darrel Abel is'* married to a beautiful young lady named Helen. They have three children —all girls. Like most Navy per- sonnel, Darrel is civic-minded. He fS the kind of guy needed to help build our town. I met Abel right after he hit town. He told me _ then, “Key West has the reputation of being a ‘hell-hole’ for sailors but by gosh, I’ve made up my mind never to see anything but the good side of the town.” Apparently, he meant what he said for he then proceeded to invest his-money in a home. I’ve seen him quite often since ahd have yet to hear him say any- thing derogatory against the town or the people though I’m bound to ad@it that I’ve suspected him of indulging in a few uncompli- mentary private thoughts at times. | I’m just mentioning all of this because I think that it does us good to pick a name at random and talk about commonplace events. Abel has a hobby of making motion, picture films. Already, he has pieced together more than four hundred feet of scenic territory in Monroe Coun- ty and probably knows our history better than many of us long-time residents, Hal Boyle _ Says NEW YORK w—Some people in|in copper mining.

Cohoon is doing just the opposite. He’s one of a number ‘of men who are finding fortunes in old tree stumps. : He is pioneering in finding new uses for pine oil, found in cutover yellow pine timberlands of the ‘Deep South. z d “The tree doesn’t contain pine oil in its growing state,” explained . “It forms only in large stumps that have been in the ground for at least 20 years.” Qnce regarded as worthless, the But Cohoon has done as much as any man to popularize it as a nousehold deodorant, cleanser and laundry aid. He has a simple goal—to. make every home in America have a pine tree fra- grance. In 1948 Dumas Milner, a Jack- son, Miss., investor, took over a small janitorial supply house. Its product, called Pine-Sol, ‘sold lo- cally, did about a $77,000 a year busine: SS. Looking -about for someone to head the company, his eye fell on Cohoon, a former farm boy with a lot of experience in the soap selling field. Cohoon took the job, but wasn’t sure at first that he didn’t have a lemon on his hands. The firm hed only six employes—three men to make the product, three out trying to sell it. el’ Slated Wed. Three of screendom’s all time greats, Alice Faye, Dana Andrews and Linda Darnell, are top-lined in Twentieth Century-Fox’s grip- ping encore hit, “Fallen Angel,” which is for Wednesday at the Strand Theatre, Produced and directed by Otto Preminger, “Fallen Angel,” had been acclaimed as a gripping drama of desire and murder, as powerful as the screen has ever shown, The story of the love of a woman for a man, a love over which hangs the terrible fascina- tion of another woman's beauty, and haunted by the spectre of murder—is said to hit a new peak in sheer shock and suspense. “Fallen Angel” marks. Alice Faye’s most important dramatic ‘Fallen Ang }role. She had been previously Payne Heads Cast Of Post-Civil War Adventure A top-notch cast and a rousing thrill-a-minute story are combined in ‘Paramount's brand new Techni- color adventure drama, “The Van- quished,” which is due to open Tuseday at the Monroe Theatre. Starring John Payne, Jan Sterling, Coleen Gray and Lyle Bettger with Willard Parker, the action-loaded film is set against the teeming background of the old South dur- ing its most violent era. * The bristlingly paced yarn re- lated in “The Vanquished” is that of a Southern town’s struggle to free itself from the oppressive tyr- anny of carpetbagger rule and of the heroic figure who makes this liberation possible. John Payne, one of the screen’s top ers of adventure fare, is cast in the Tole of the returned Confederate major, who upon seeing how the parasitic Civil Administration is devastating his city, decides to throw in with them so as to gather evidence to ultimately expose their nefarious activities, How Payne, with the aid of Col- een Gray, is able to finally get the upper hand makes for what is reported tc be some of the most excitement-loaded film fare. to come along in many a day. Ad- vance audiences have been thoroughly entertained by “The Vanquished.” It has been describ- el as a gripping tale of high romance, intrigue and drama that that is thoroughly engrossing from start to finish. “The Vanquished” was produced by William Pine and William Thomas and was directed by Ed- ward Ludwig. THEY DIDN’T NEED IT THAT BADLY! LOS ANGELES # — The sign over the docr of the used car salesroom said ‘We need your car — drive in.” Lewis Jackson Jr, did — with his throttle stuck. His auto crashed through a heavy wooden door, sideswiped two cars on the showroom floor, ran headon into a convertible and bunched it into another auto. Jack- son, 38, was not hurt in the ac- cident yesterday. Scientists estimate that from 10 to 15 per cent of all deaths through- out the world result from cancer. our best market was the American housewife herself. Why wouldn’t she prefer — wees Ee fragrant - sme sul : stead of an evil-smelling one?” Cohoon also improved his ‘p; uct by putting a detergent in it so that it woald clean as well as de- odorize. Then he set out to get national distribution. “at first we were bottling and labeling by hand,” ‘he recalled. “Then we got semiautomatic and, finally, fully automatic equip- ment.” In five years he sold 20 million bottles, now distributes it in évery state and 11 foreign countries. He figures it is used in two out of every seven homes in this country. ‘The firm has become the world’s largest user of pine oil, does a multimillion dollar business each year. Cohoon estimates it will gross $10,000,000 annually by 1958. That’s a lot of monéy. but what will happen if the South runs out of old pine stumps? “Oh, there are still enough to “The first weeks I did nothing} last for another 35 years.” Cohoon talk to everybody I could find but who knew anything about pine oil,” said. “And, if it comes to that, oil can be produced syn-| he recalled. “Then 1 decided that’ thetically. noted for her performances in light, musical pictures, and re- ceiyed accolades for. her per- formance in “Fallen Angel.” Dana Andrews, who has a record list of hits to his credit, plunges headlong into this tense and grip- ping story of a man pbsessed by the promising lips and taunting smile of a woman whom only murder can get out of his life forever.

California Seout Held In Slaying LOS ANGELES # — A 14-year- old Boy Scout is held at Juvenile Hall today on suspicion of murder- ing his stepfather. Police said Larry Imler, a Scout patrol leader, fired five shots from aA .22 rifle at Irven Woodrow Loucks, 40, a truckdriver, after a quarrel between Loucks and Lar- ry’s mother. The ‘mother said Loucks pulled her out of a truck by her hair. He had been drink- ing, she said. “{ didn’t mean to kill him,” of- ficers quoted the boy.“I only wanted to scare him.” ? Mrs. Loucks, mother of 13 — including three by Loucks — said the argument was over. who was going to pick up nine children at a birthday party. Key West In Days Gone By September 13, 1934 Visiting Miami Rotarians were given a rousing welcome by the Key West Rotary Club when they arrived in their special car attach- ed to the Havana Special at noon today. As the train pulled into the depot, the Key West Hospital- ity band greeted the group with strains of ‘Hail Hail! The Gang’s All Here!” Tons of scrap iron salvaged from the coal shed and from other government property at Dry Tortugas is being brought in here on tugs, placed on flat cars, taken to Port Everglades and then shipped to foreign countries. Sherman Adler, who purchased the metal from the government, stated that he expected to be here | \f another three weeks loading the|/ iron on cars. At the City Hall this morning| _ shortly before noon, Chief of Police Ivan Elwood conducted an auction sale at which time various articles, which had been sejzed from dif- ferent merchants for failure to pay licenses, were disposed of to the highest -bidders, Re ee September 13, 1944 The City Council at a recessed meeting held last night passed an ordinance that calls for the im- mediate closing of all liquor, beer and wine establishments in Key West when hostilities in the Europ- ean war area are brought to a close. Ninety-eight more requests were received yesterday afternoon from Monroe Countians in the armed services for ballots to be voted in the general election in Novem- ber.

Editor, The Citizen: Some people say let’s build a swimming pool, others say let’s fluoridate the water while others ery wait, let’s have a referendum first. Fine, let’s do. My question is do I get to vote? I have two children who may be helped or hurt by fluoridation. Will I have anything to say about the future health of my children? I’m not sure that I want the cost of the swimming pool borne by a higher electric rate. I was a registered voter of the county and city before I was stripped of my citizenship. No! I wasn’t convicted of treason. I just moved to Sigsbee Park. If they have a referendum will I be able to voice my opinion by way of the ballot box or polls? Do I get to vote? F. E. K. WHY COMPLAIN IN FORUM? Editor, The Citizen: There have been several complaints in the People’s Forum about dogs that are kept tied and dogs that are free to roam. Complaints also about an “ittsy, bittsy baby boy” which is somebody’s pet cat. Previous to this there were complaints about men who are compelled to work late in the evening in order to pay doctor bills and make an honest living. This same person, or persons, simply couldn’t endure a prayer meeting which was being held in a neighbor’s home. The piano and accordion music and hymns evidently hurt their ear drums to such an extent they threw eggs at the home in order to stop the “dreadful racket.” We believe it was the prayers that hurt them most! Perhaps they are not accustomed to praying? We believe if they were, they would not have thrown the eggs, or made insinuating remarks about the appear- ance of a neighbor’s house, or considered trucks that are parked on a highway as a disgrace to the neighbor- hood. All of these gripes are against four families living in the vicinity of North Beach on Petronia Street. ‘There is now a small rooster which is evidently.some child’s pet, hopping up and down the highway. He is a pretty little white fowl, doing no harm to anybody. We are all wondering when this will be reported:as causing a disturbance. We wish these letter writers would come out of hid- ing, and instead of making false accusations through the newspapers, would come to us directly with their com- plaints. We might try to remedy our faults, for it is our de- sire to live at peace with our neighbors. - MR. AND MRS. L. T.

MURRAY RADIN According to official statistics, sacroiliac strain ranks third among compe: le injuries. Twenty years ago, the sacroiliac - 9 joints were still buried in the archives of hu- »| man biology. Today, the public is on speak- ing terms with the sacroiliac joints; in fact, these joints are mentioned or inquired about more than any articulations of the human framework. These two joints, situated where the base of the spine joins the large hipbones, can be, and are, the seat of much pain. a eo Whether it is called lumbago, rheumatism, or DR. RADIN ‘just plain back-ache, much of the pain felt in the lower part of the back is the result of sacroiliac strain. At one time or another you may have been a victim of this painful condition yourself. If so, you know how helpless and miserable one feels as a result of too much strain on a sacroiliac joint. The onset of this painful malady may be brought about ia any one of a dozen ways—c slip in the bathtub, or on a waxed floor; a strain from lifting or from working too long in a stooped position. The pain may strike suddenly while one is at work or play —even "ohan.the body seems to be under little or no strain. In cases of severe sacroiliac strain, home remedies can do little more than give temporary relief. Electric pads, hot water bottles, plasters, liniments, etc., may ease the pain for a time but are not likely to give ent relief. Such cases require the services of a doctor in the correction of sacroiliac displacement because there is usual- ly a partial dislocation between the base of the spine and one of the large bones of the hip. Any persistent or recurring aches in the lower limbs may suggest poalible scxrcilice trouble and should be referred to a ¢hisopractor for correction.
