One Of the most entertaining
programs ever to be given by the
local boy scout troop No. 5, will
be the event tomorrow evening in
| the Monroe County High School.
There will be a number of excel
lent song numbers and recitations
also pantOmime sketches and a
wedding ceremony which will be
more laugh-producing than any
like skit ever seen. Much OF the
best talent in the city will be used
in the performance.
Local transportation by the old
street car system and the bus ser
wee recently incorporated by the
Key West Electric company took
up the greater part OF the time
today at the luncheon OF Key
West Rotarians. President Bob
Spottswood called on Base
l.. GrOOms, manager of the COM
pany to give statement as to the
difference in the efficiency or the
systems as well as the economical
aspects of each. Mr.. Grooms
complained and gave very inter-
eStlng and entertaining resume of
the old street car system as COM
pared with the present bus sys-
tenn. With the latter system in
augurated, said Mr.. Grooms, we
have simply added another step
in the progress of Key West.
Editorial comment: The fact
that angels commit no sin is due
to environment. The same sur
roundings down here would make
angels out of the last one of us,
no doubt.
