NYA boys at the Craft Shop,
are pointing with pride to the
various toys which are being made
at present from scrap lumber col
lected from the stores of the city.
Practically ali of the material is
being used, and it is surprising to
see the finished articles which are

the direction of Pete knight, in
charge of operations.
Praise is being given to those
engaged in the work by those who
realize the care which must be ex-

one can hardly believe that the

Thanksgiving Day Here
Observed In Quiet Way

Thanksgiving Day observance
in Key West is as usual a day of
quiet and peaceful manifestation
of an attitude of gratitude and
appreciation of the blessings
which have been experienced
throughout the year.
Special services were held in
all of the churches, and in several
there will be song services and
sermons this evening, to bring to
close with song and gracious
ness, a day which has been one
of calm and holy observance in all
walks of life.
All government activities were
stilled, except the regular patrols
and observance of guard duty at
the barracks and naval station.
No activity was in effect on WPA,
NYA and other allied projects.

reads:
I'VE want to thank you for

will respond generously to
our Thanksgiving appeal. You
are rendering a great service

So many inquiries about fishing
reach the offices of Secretary S.
C. Singleton, of the Key West
Chamber of Commerce that he has
prepared a statement to cover the
situation. He says his will have
to do until he can get out that
record-breaking booklet.
Just now his main object in life
is to bring an armful of copy and
a fistful of photos to this office
and get out the booklet on the
Artman Press for the chamber in
Key West to give its sister organ
izations throughout the state
something to look at.
Mr.. Singleton suggested that
subscribers to The Citizen lend a
hand in the preliminary work by
sending out copy to northern
sportsmen friends whose greatest
thrill has been limited to catching
a one-pound perch or bull-head.
Briefly, the following is Mr..
Singleton's fish story:
"Of course every crow thinks
its own young one the blacklist.
And there is undoubtedly good
fishing along the line in Florida,
but Key West has a little hard
luck which by force of circum-
stances is transmitted into good
luck for fishermen.
"Since Labor Day, 1886, travel
from the mainland to Key West
has been at an irreducible mini
mum, due to the length of time
for the ferry trip, now soon to be
thing of the past. That is rea-
son No. l. Reason No. 2 is that
yaehtsmen do not visit Key West
in the large numbers that will
come when we get a protected
channel through the wonderful
Key West archipelago, so that the
40-mile outside run need not be
CHANGED.
The result is that we have had

photographic Survey Will
Be Made OF Florida KEYS
From Key West To Miami
Lid Blown Off Fertile
Sanford BOlita Racket

The bolita racket, which has
been strongly assaulted in the cities
of Miami and Tampa by grand
juries, has had the lid blown off
again in Sanford, where another
grand jury is exposing operations
and returning indictments and
where "Bolita Barons" are being
vigorously prosecuted by Assist
ant State Attorney L. F. Boyle.
The following article from Tues
days Sanford Herald gives an ac-
count of threatening letter re-
ceived by Boyle, and of his de-
termination to continue law en-
forcement:
methods smacking strongly of
Chicago gangsters were injected
into the proceedings surrounding
the investigation of the local lot
terry racket when a letter was
written to Assistant States Attor-
ney L. F. Boyle warning him to
''lay Off, it was revealed this
morning.
The receipt of the letter by Mr..
Boyle lent credenee to the report
on the streets that the Bolita
Barons who have been making as
high as $4,000 a week in San
ford out of the sale of tickets,
would not abandon field said
to be the most fertile in the
state, without a fight.
However, Mr.. Boyle made light
of the incident when interviewed
regarding it today. He admit
ted receiving such letter early
Monday morning but insisted it
was probably the work of some

crank and did not attribute much
Importance to it.
When asked if he planned to
secure the aid of federal ad-
thorities in tracing the letter,
Mr.. Boyle replied that he in
tended to ignore it since a per-
son who hides his identity in
such a threatening manner is like
a barking dog that never bites. "
He added, however, that the
grand jury is still in session and
it is expected that additional in
dictments may result from con-
tinued Investigations.
The threat note received by
Mr.. Boyle, postmarked Sanford,
Fla. and indicating that it had
been mailed at $50 o'clock Sun
day night, was as follows:
estate attorney L. Boyle
you had better get the
grand jury to lay off the
local boys you know what
we understand it is all your
doings and you had better
quit right now or it may be
bad for you"
The letter was typewritten, ur-
signed, and completely without
punctuation or capitalization.
"Such action on the part Of
those coming within the scope of
the grand jury's investigation, "
Mr.. Boyle said, "leads me to be-
lieve that those allegedly con-
nected with the so-called lottery
rackets must be considerably
worried about the final outcome
of the present activity on the
part of the grand jury and the
local law enforcement officers. "

new FORM OF
ADVERTISING
Is ADOPTED
FLORIDA FAIR ADVERTISING
TO BE CONFINED STRICT
LY TO NEWSPAPERS AND
STANDARD BILLBOARDS

TAMPA, Nov. (FNS) In
fluenced by appeals from garden
club leaders and those concerned
with state Identification, General
Manager P. 7. Shredder of the
Florida Fair, to be held in Tampa,
Jan. % to Feb. 5, stated that
Fair advertising this year will be
confined exclusively to news
papers and regulation standard
billboards.
1t has been the custom Of the
Florida Fair to use paper fur
nished by carnivals companies,
fireworks and automobile race
promoters, together with tack
cards and placards with bill-pos-
tiers plastered on barns, fences, or
tackled to posts and trees to catch
the eye of the traveller on our
highways. It is a practice used
for many years by all shows.
fairs, carnivals and similar events.
and the Florida Fair has been no
greater offender than a score of
other similar events, and the
Florida Fair has been no greater
offender than score of other
similar events held in the state.
But since the Florida Fair is
designed to advance the welfare
of the state as a whole and its
aim is to work in cooperation
with every interest ir organiza-
ton with similar purpose, man.
ager Shredder feels that it is fit
ting for the Florida Fair to take
the lead in helping to rid state
highways and communities of this
offensive form of advertising
known to the trade as "sniping."
Accordingly, money formerly
budgeted for this form of pub
LEFTY has this year been reserved
exclusively for use in accepted and
recognized mediums such as reg
ulation blllboards and news
papers.
Arrangements were' closed this
week with the Peninsular Adver-
Using Agency of Tampa for the
placing of both newspaper and
billboard advertising with an in
creased appropriation over last
year.
Manager Shredder expressed the
belief that Women's Clubs, beauti-
fication committees and state gar
den clubs would heartily approve
of this action and that results
would prove profitable from an
attendance standpoint.
Secretary Russell Kay of the
Fair Association concurred with
Mr.. Shredder and stated unani-
nous approval from the press of
the state could be counted on.

are all closed, as are many places
of business. Some of them for
the entire day, and others closing

Proposals To Be Opened
During Special Meet
ing To Be Held TOmOr-
row Night

Members of the City Council
met in informal session yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of dis
eussins matters relative to the
seavengeF service, and decided to
hold a special meeting tomorrow
night at which time sealed bids
and proposals for the removal of
garbage and trash from Key West
premises will be opened.
A contract covering this service
is now held by William Knight,
who took over these duties under
the administration of the old coun-
Gil.
Mr.. Knight is now taking care
of this service, and makes his own
collections for the work and serv-
ice rendered. The city trucks
were placed at his disposal, with
the understanding that he main
tain their upkeep. The city re-
imburses the contractor for hand
ling the trash cans that are placed
at different sections of the city
for the use of the public, while
this is only a small charge, how
ever, IL is shown.
It is understood that the city
at first desired to operate the
service itself, and make its own
collections, the same as that which
is now being done by Mr.. Knight,
in order that additional revenue
may be obtained to take care of
some of its operating expenses.
The matter, however, will in all
probability be definitely settled at
the meeting to be held tomorrow
night.
