Civil Defense:
Some weeks ago, Charles Curry.
Civil Defense Committeeman of
Monroe County, came out during
a meeting of Arthur Sawyer Post
and gave us a sincere talk to the
Legionnaires.
We of Arthur Sawyer Post are
very much interested in Civil De
fense, hut Tm a little afraid that
we stand almost alone among the
civic organizations who have ac
tually done anything about it. I
personally have been in attend
ance at a couple of other civic
clubs while Curry made his talk.
It rated little more than a round
of applaow Md then was forgotten
about.
One of our members, Cliff Schu
macher, made a special trip to
Miami to see and study what Har
vey Seeds Post American Legion
has to do with Dade County Civil
Defense. They have taken over a
definite part of the program, and
stand ready to put it into action
at any time. After hearing Cliffs
talk, the Arthur Sawyer Legion
naires were convinced that our post
could play a definite part in the
Monroe County Civil Defense pro
gram.
Once before, Monroe County talk
ed Civil Defense and a few big
shots shouted and raved and then
forgot it. One' civic organization
alone can not carry this program
through. It must be the coopera
tion of all of them. Arthur Sawyer
Post stands ready to do its share.
Come on, you Civil Defense Com
mittee, get on the ball and past
the shouting stage.

Honoring B. C. Papy
On October 14, I had the honor
and pleasure of representing Ar
thur Sawyer Post American Legion
at a testimonial dinner given by
the Lions Club in honor of Repre
sentative from Monroe County,
Bemie C. Papy.
Legionnaires and citizens of Key
West and Monroe County; the lat

ped them all when he won the fight
to turn back to Monroe County mil
lions of dollars worth of valuable
land. I’m sure that differences in
political views will never blind us
to the fact that Bemie deserves
the credit accorded him.

Red-Backed Strike Keep Growing In Britain
By HAL COOPER
LONDON WV-The main Atlantic
liner port of Southampton was
threatened with a shutdown today
by a Communist backed water
front strike aimed at every major
shipping center in the British Isles.
The 16-day stoppage already has
closed the vast London dock area
and sharply curtailed work at
Liverpool, the nation’s second big
gest ocean cargo port. Nearly 35,-
000 of Britain’s 76,000 dockers are
off their jobs and 193 ships lie idle
at their moorings.
In Southampton, leaders of the
wildcat strike competed with union
officials, who are opposing the
walkouts, for the backing oi 2,052
stevedores. Whether the Southamp
ton workers would remain on the
job was in doubt.
Anxious owners of the liner
Queen —
000 ton ship in stern first yesterday
so she will face the channel and
can leave without tugs if neces
sary. The liner is scheduled to sail
tomorrow evening, carrying Queen
Mother Elizabeth on the first stage
of her visit to the United States,
Amid the mounting tension on
the waterfronts, a second big strike
by more than 20,000 of London’s
45,000 bus drivers and conductors
collapsed in a back-to-work move
ment.
