GET new CASES
STILL GREAT NEED FOR DE-
PENDENT CHILDREN
ITEM

For the March rolls of the State
Welfare Board in Monroe Coun-
ty, Is old-age cases, two new aid
to the blind cases and one aid to
dependent children case have
been added. supervisor Mrs.
Gladys Roberts told The Citizen.
In Key West at present there
are 487 old-age, lit aid to the
blind, and six dependent children
cases being supported by the
Board.
Greatest need is for dependent
children with a survey some time
ago indicating that there were 500
cases in Key West which needed
funds badly. The last state legis-
lature appropriated 100000 for
the entire state for this item. Eff
fort is being made to increase the
budget allowance in this particu-
lar.
Figuring on 500 cases the coun-
tvs needs would be for budget
of $l2,500 for dependent children.

Some very peculiar happenings
around the Key West Tropical
Open-Air Aquarium have been
noted by Superintendent ]. j.
Romero.
For instance, there is the shark
which was being changed from
one pool to another and bit a
boys arm recently. At present
he has been placed in a pool with
many grunts and snappers, He
doesn't bother them much, but
when he gets hungry, watch out!
Because he's going to grab up a
fish or two. fo1,
One of the most perfect speci-
mems of golden hind has been
placed in one of the tanks re-
Gently. When taken out of wa
ter it is like a freshly washed
piece of gold. Unusual in color,
too, are the royal purple parrot
fish, not often caught. Queen
triggerfish with their cannibaliS-
tic war paint colors are amusing
and really beautiful. Most NUT
tonfish have gray tails but in the
aquarium this week is one with
a red tail.
People passing the grouper tank
often think that they are al dead
from their lifelike positions. To-
day one was lying completely flat
on its side. having cameleon-like
changed color, and apparently
dead. Another was upside down
floating near the glass. Others
were sprawled all over the tank.
An interesting exhibit is that
of live coral polyps. Of brown
ish color and with the same trac-
ings as the type of coral they
leave behind them it is wonder
full to imagine that these crea-
lures build large coral islands.

Senator Andrews Action On
Submarine Base To Be Guided
By Report OF Hepburn Board
Statement Was Made In
Reply To Peter knight,
Who Is Working In Be-
half Of Key West

(BY Washington Correspondent
of The Key West Citizen)
WASHINGTON. D. C. March
Ex-senator Andrews declared
today that he would be guided
by recommendations of the Navy
Department and the Admiral
Hepburn Commission in any deci-
sion concerning the location of a
submarine base al Key West.
The Senator issued his state
ment in connection with a re-
ply to Peter o. Knight of Tampa
who wrote him recently urging
support for increased activity on
behalf of Key West.
Although Senator Pepper re-
ceived an identical letter from
knight, his secretary said that
he would not answer it because
it was duplicate of one sent to
the Senior Senator and thus re-
quired no reply. Peppers atti-
tude is also one of waiting for the
decision of the Hepburn commits
sion before making recommended
tons.
Knight claimed that Key West
had in effect been Disseminated
against because other communi-
ties with more population could
exert more political pressure on
the Administration in Washing
ton.
