FINLAND FEARS
RUSSIAN DEMANDS
DELEGATION RETURNS TO
MOSCOW WITH REJEC-
TON OF TERMS

LONDON, Nov. 1.-Finland's
representatives crossed into Rus
STA today with Finnish rejection
of a treaty Russia wishes to Sc
cure from the little Scandinavian
country.
Finland has said that the Rus
sian demands are unacceptable
and also said it believed that
Russia would try to force her
terms. Finland was prepared to
resist with arms if need be.
All warning nations seem to be
well pleased with the Molotov
talk yesterday coming from Mos
COW.
England and France said that
they were pleased to note that
Russia insisted on the Soviet
Unions neutrality. Germany was
pleased and an official statement
said that there was nothing in
the speech which Germans could
object to.
Talk of a treaty between Italy
and Turkey grew today, as Eng
land said that Italian rejection
of pro-Nazi elements in its Ease
lists lineup indicated that the
Nazi axis had at least been brok-
en- or sufficiently shaken that it
will not be resumed.

SOUND IDEAS FOR
BOULEVARD BEACH
COUNTY PUSHES PLANS FOR
W.P.A. CONSTRUCTION OF
900-FOOT BEACH

Under contemplation by county
sponsorship at present is W.P.A.
construction of a beach 900 feet
long by 125 feet wide to start at
Bertha street on the boulevard to
run northwards along the boule-
ward.
The plan, according to Chair
man Carl Bervaldi of the County
Commission, is to dredge the sand
from the deeper water and bring
it back against the boulevard.
There will be a bulkhead placed
along the boulevard to protect
the base of the boulevard and
there will also be three groins
extending out to sea to protect
the constructed beach from ero-
sion.
The groins, which will be built,
will also aid in building up the
beach further through the years.
Two groins will be constructed
in the Bertha street area and
one groin off Raul's Beach to pro-
tect it. One of the groins will be
in the nature of fishing pier.
which will be run at CONNER
cial rate with proceeds to be ap-
piled toward upkeep of the
beach.

CUBAN PILOT WAS FORCED
TO REMAIN ON BOARD
S. S. CUBA

There was a gale blowing in
the Havana area yesterday morn
ing that approached 40 miles an
hour, and passengers on vessels
had difficulty in the harbor
maintaining a standing posture.
Those seated at tables in the

to keep the dishes in place.
Pilots in the harbor could not
get back on their boats after they
had taken the vessels out of the
harbor to start on their voyages,
and one of the pilots, Fernando
.Panne, could not get back on the
pilot tug without danger to him
self and the craft and was
forced to make the trip to Key
West, arriving here on the
Cuba. He will return on the
vessel tomorrow.

STATE BOARD
BUYING BONDS
COOPERATES WITH COUNTY
TO AFFECT PURCHASE AS
ORDERED RECENTLY

County Clerk Ross c. Sawyer
said this morning that the county
had been receiving 100 percent
cooperation from the Board of
Administration in Tallahassee,
and at recent meeting of the
administrative body a purchase
of $4,000 bonds was authorized.
These bonds were of the 10000
bonds referred to in a previous
issue of The Citizen.
Huen Lassiter, of the r. E.
drummer Co., fiscal agents for
Monroe county, yesterday advis-
ed Mr.. Sawyer that of the offer
ing of 10000, which was
brought before the State Board
through the county commission
ers, but one offerer, in the
amount of $4,000 bonds, refused
to make delivery.
Cooperation by the State Board
of Administration means the re-
tirement of large percentage of
the bonds by the use of gasoline
funds, which would otherwise
have to be met by an ad valorem
levy.
Recent favorable action by the
Board of Administration au-
thorized the payment of all past
due interest on refunding bonds,
said Mr.. Sawyer, and the surplus
bonds were used to purchase the
above $4,000 bonds, which takes
Monroe county out of the de-
fault column.
