water, than was theirs before his
explanations.
The matter of the lay off Of
workers on the WPA rolls for 80
days and the necessity of recerti-
fication before they can be put
back to work was also discussed,
and c. G. Hicks, gave a clear out
line of the number of men who
had been laid off and said there
were a number of them whose
time was already up for replace
ment, the 80 days lay off having
been exhausted, but until some
provisions has been made for re-
certification, they. must wait, &C
cording to orders.
| At this point Mr.. Gross said
that he had been given to under
stand that it would be but a few
days befire some arrangement
was made for the recertification
movement to begin in Key West
and while he would not be GER
tain, felt that it would be within
the next week or possibly 10
days.
The question of work on the
highway from Big Pine Key to
Key West was brought forward
for discussion and after some
talk on the matter Dan Navarro
said that Arthur Hale, chairman
of the State Road Department is
back in the state and Mr.. Ma
varro made a motion that he be
consulted Immediately on the
question of the project.
Mr.. Gross then said he would
be on the East Coast for several
days and would contact Mr. Hale,
explain the situation to him and
would return with him to Key
West the latter part of the week
if Mr.. Hale consented to come
and discuss the matter.
There were a number of mat
tiers discussed during the meet
ing which lasted more than two
hours, and those who attended
were informed that there was to
be a meeting of the state body
held at some time in the near
future notice of which would be
received in ample time to permit
all interested to attend.
Among those attending the
meeting were: Mayor Willard AL

Arthur Sawyer Post Group
Attends Installation OF
COlOred Officers Yesterday

In short talks the LegiOnnaires
emphasized the importance of the
colored veterans organization in
furthering child welfare, COM
munity improvements and mutual
assistance among the colored peo-
pie of Key West. They were
seen by the Legionnaires as q
first line of defense among the
colored people in combating for
eign isms and in further Amer
icaniSm.
"The growth and development
of the Colored World War Vet
Grams in Florida is marked by
better understanding of Amer.
lean problems and a greater ap-
probation of the need for CO.
operation in solving those prob
lens amicably and satisfactorily"
Commander Davis said. eve
stand ready to follow the lead Of
the American Legion in Amer
icanism, constructive help for oul
former comrades in arms ano
; their dependents and in fostering
community betterment for oul
families and children"
Commander Schoneck of the
Legion post stressed the inn
portance of such an organization
among the colored residents OF
the city at a time when the foes
of democracy are everywhere
stirring up racial hatreds and ami.
mosities. The local colored post
was urged to sponsor such prof.
Gets as boys drum corps, Boy
and Girl Scouts, Fairgrounds fol-
colored children, a junior base
ball team and other child welfare
programs.

Arranging Entertainments

and for talent for such floor
show as has never been seen in
Key West before"
The Country Club will be COM
pletely redecorated. The Legion
plans to use both floors, convert
ing the upper floor into a night
club, with new lighting features
and with plenty of dance space.
The grounds surrounding the
building will be lighted, and the
stone staircase put into service
for the guests using. the club and
dance floor.
To insure those attending the
dance and show with plenty of
table space, the number of tickets
issued will be limited to the num-
Der of tables and seats. All
tables will be reserved and such
rights will be strictly enforced.
Arthur Sawyer Post believes
EACJ "CSb ID lCdAJ dll0 oAA<AAOAo
to participate in such affairs, an
committee state
ment reads. "The orchestra will
be of the type that generally sp-
ears at the finer Miami area night
clubs and the show talent will be
the best obtainable. There will
be an experienced and capable
master of ceremonies who will
handle a program guaranteeing
constant and varied volume of en-
tertainment.
I'VE intend to spare no expense
giving this city and its fun-loving
people something really new here
and something they will long re-
member. We are anxious to make
this affair a success, for if it is it
will insure the future success of
lother and similar events we are
planning" o..

Inspired by the success of the
recent district conference held in
Key West and confident of con-
tinued public support, the mem
bers of Arthur Sawyer Post No.
% of the American Legion today
announced tentative plans for a
series of high-class dances and
entertainments during the forth
coming season.
Although the affairs are being
planned on an ambitious scale in
volving a large outlay. the post
entertainment committee believes
there will be a substantial sum
available from the revenues for
furthering the Legion's child and
community activities in Key
West. For that reason the vari-
Gus parties will be staged as bene-
fits for the fund sponsoring Boy
Scouts troop, the junior baseball
league, a boys drum corps, q
community cleanup campaign
and other Legion activities COM
ing under the head of child and
community welfare.
1t is planned to hold the first
danre at Key West Country Club
some night before October Is. al
though that arrangement may be
changed later. Officials of the
club have made arrangements to
turn the big building on Stock
Island over to Arthur Sawyer

Officials Of Planning
Boards Visitors Here

George G. Gross, executive
j secretary of the Florida State
Planning Board, and w. Turner
Wallis, assistant consultant of the
National Resources Planning
Board assigned to the State as
consultant, met in Key West yes
! terday with Mrs. Robert Spots
wood, head of the Monroe county
planning council, who had ex-
tended an invitation to the visi-
tors, and a group of interested
citizens.
! Mr. Gross was introduced by
DR.. HI. c. Galley and said their
visit was for the purpose of get
/: ting clear idea of the needs of
Key West and Monroe county, and
lay out a plan of procedure to be
/ followed.
He then called on VIM. R. Por-
ter, president of the First Ma
tional Bank, who discussed the
matter of the proposed yacht
basin on the north side of the is
land, which is port of the .Trumbo
Island properties. He said that
under the present existing cir
cumstances he was of the opinion
that the use of the yacht basin
and the submarine base would be
denied to the city.
The speaker then took up the
matter of the water pipe line,
and this was discussed from every
standpoint and angle. He was
ably assisted by VIM. Doughtry,
member of the Aqueduct Com
mission, who has been active in
the efforts of the commission in
their efforts to secure from PWA
the funds for putting in this line.
He told very clearly and con-
clusively just what steps had been
taken in this matter, and the
question up to the present point.
Mr.. Doughtry gave a very clear
and succinct review of the water
fsituation and those who were
present were impressed with the
success which has attended the
efforts of the commission as ex-
planned by Mr.. Doughty, but
also realize that there is yet a
great deal to be done.
Mr.. Wallis then spoke for about
! Is minutes and touched on the
water situation in South Florida,
[explaining in detail the situation
as it now stood, and other mat
4 tiers in connection therewith,
! which were very enlightening
and gave his hearers clearer
and much more comprehensive

far, they state, II German bomb
ers have been shot down.
Germany, meanwhile, has made
vital thrusts into the Silesian
territory of Poland. In this area
are located most of the industries
of Poland. Repeated air raids on
Warsaw have also been made by
the Germans.
Foreign correspondents believe
that it is the intention of Ger
many to make a quick finish of
Poland so that its armies can con-
centrate on the French and Eng
lish troops coming up on their
eastern frontiers. Thus far the
armies drawn up on the borders
of France and Germany have been
regarding each other with
great deal of respect.
From Zurich, Switzerland, bor-
der officers report a terrific ex-
plosion in German territory from
the direction of where a huge
German dirigible base is known
to be located.
