to Bertha and are to be drained
into the salt ponds, which have
an exit through a bridge on the
Bay side of the Boulevard.
Another crew of men is work
ing on the ditch which is being
dug along the old railroad right
of-way in the ''head of the island"
section. This ditch is over half
way complete from past work
and when finished will drain
several ponds in the area and
also connect with the exit to the
sea on the Bay side bridge of the
boulevard.
Funds have not been released
for ditching in the Stock Island

neers believe that if these other
two islands are ditched Key West
will be largely free from mos
quitoes both winter and sum-
mer. The Key West residents will
appreciate the present ditching
work being done next summer.

he proposed to do about his
Thanksgivin' service and it seems
his congregation is pretty much
divided on the issue and he was
downright worried. He said he
guessed the only thing he could
do was follow the scriptures in
such case and render unto
Roosevelt the things, that were
Roosevelt's and unto Cone the
things that were Cones. He just
naturally amt takin' no chances
and is workin' up two Thanks
givin' sermons.
If you ask me the whole
thing is screwy. AS far as I can
see, we were gettin' along very
well observin' the last Thursday
in November, and if we'd just
gone on dom it and left well
enough alone everything would
have been all right. But now
we've started controversy that
will get worse from year to year
and the first thing you know
some screwball will be findin'
fault with a lot of other holidays
and be startin' a movement to
have 'em changed to suit his own
particular fancy.
Well, / don't know about you,
but for my part I'm gonna be
plenty THANKFUL every day in
the year that I'm an American
and privileged to enjoy all the
blessings and advantages that
that implies.

program for this season of the
year was prepared by the 5A's,
under the supervision of Miss
Shine. This took up bird life
and the necessity of protecting
our birds here in Key West. In
teresting guest speakers on this
subject were Mrs. Hugh Williams
and Rev. Howell.
The Spirit of Halloween pre-
vailed the latter part of the
month. Given a good start by
the successful party held in Bay
view Park for the children by the
PIT. A, it carried over into 9TH
er activities. The IBIS, Mrs.
Jones grade, gave a play and
several suitable songs. An added
attraction to this was a dance in
native Hawaiian costume by lit
tie Lee McGinnis, who has only
recently come from Hawaii to
join the class. The 4A's decided
to have their Halloween play on
the very last day of the month.
All sorts of mysterious prepara-
tons were made for the event.
The las are circus-minded
these days. In fact, they have
one for their own enjoyment. The
lbs are being very practical and
building doll houses. The girls
are even preparing doll clothes
for the occupants of these houses.
Two things which have brought
a feeling of satisfaction to the
school last month are the inn
proved appearance of the grounds,
and the increased attendance at
the PIT. A. meetings. Each and
every room is striving for the
honors earned by having the most
parents present.

October has been a very busy
month at Division Street School
First came the launching of a
school-wide Identification pro-
gram. Each class was given
plot for its very own, and great
deal of interest and pride has
been manifested in the various
plots. The 2A's are carefully
tending a vegetable garden, the
products of which are to be used
in the lunch room.
While directly under the SUI
pervision of the PIT. A, the
lunch room has claimed much
attention of both teachers and
pupils. An average of over two
hundred lunches are served daily.
One pleasant feature to be noted
is the marked improvement in
conduct at lunch this year.
An entirely new venture was
undertaken by the three sixth
grades this year, that of publish
ing a school newspaper. The
Palm Leaf, containing items of
interest from each class, made it's
appearance on October 18. We
expect it to grow both in size
and circulation.
A New York Worlds Fair"
unit was worked up by the Obs,
under the direction of Mrs. May
Russell. This theme was carried
over into a splendid chapel pro-
gram on October 4. The second
week in the month brought Co.
lumbus Day exercises by both
the primary and upper grades.
The school orchestra, under the
direction of Mrs. Dopp, made its
first public appearance in honor
of Columbus Day. There are
fourteen pieces in the orchestra
this year and they gave two quite
difficult selections in an accom-
pliShed manner.
