Advertising Plan To Be
Examined At Highway
Commission Meeting 3
P. M. Pigeon Key

Mark Byron. III. who was ap-
pointed publicity director of the
Overseas Highway Commission
at its last meeting. has presented
an outline of publicity and adyer-
Using for the coming year which
will be considered al a meeting
al Pigeon Key 3 o'clock this aft
ernoon.
In Key West today is John
Slade, chairman of the Commits
sion. John Kennedy, another
Commissioner, is at Pigeon Key.
John Costar, vice-chairman; May
or Willard NJ Albury and c. c..
Symonette are other members of
the Commission.
The question of publicity for
the Highway has been a matter
of much dispute among the Com
missioners. One group favored
no ALLEGATION of publicity funds
until the Highways debt had
been liquidated sufficiently. An
other group thought the best way
TO liquidate the debt was to adj
vertise the Highway. Apparently
the excellent season during the
past summer, which far exceeded
expectations, has had something
TO do with the decision to hire a
publicity director and consider a
program.
Advertising men throughout
the country are of the opinion
that the scenic features of the
Highway may be illimitably pub
licized and that the thoroughfare
will be ore of the country's big
attractions.

ANDREWS LIKES
LOCAL HARBOR
WRITES INFORMATION RE
GARDING MERCHANT MA
RINE TRAINING SCHOOL

Senator Charles o. Andrews
likes Key West harbor as is shown
in a letter sent to the Stone
Church Service Club in connec-
ton with a Merchant Marine
Training School request. The
letter follows:
you have written with refer
ence to the possibilities of hav-
ing the United States Maritime
Commission select the City of
Key West for one of the proposed
Merchant Marine Trainin G
Schools.
Some time ago, / recommend
ed to the Commission that inves-
tigation be made of the advant-
ages being presented by several
cities in Florida, which are in
terested in having one of the
Training Schools, and | am in
formed that this request was
complied with, and that officials
have visited there in Key West,
and have made a very thorough
investigation.
Personally, l believe Key West
has one of the finest harbors in
Florida, and I have suggested to
interested citizens. civic clubs
and other organizations, that they
keep in direct contact with the
Maritime Commission in Wash
ington, SO that there will be no
question as to the interest being
shown there in Key West in hav-
ing this school established there.
