 Most of Germany's present sub- marine fleet is good only for work in the Baltic and the North Seas. It is presumed the Nazis now plan to build a fleet of big sea-going submarines, capable of work in the Atlantic.
 This would fit in with the naval plans of the Berlin Rome axis in case there was war. Italy's job would be to work her submarines

WOULD GROW
PAPAYAS in
ISLAND CITY
OPERATOR AND OWNER OF
FARM LOCATED at DAY
IONA BEACH WRITES TO
COMMERCE BODY

c. S. Moore, owner and opera
tor of THE Papaya Farm" at
Daytona Beach, writes Secretary
Singleton, of the Key West
Chamber of Commerce, relative
to growing papayas in Key West
or on the Keys, and Mr.. Single
ton believes it will open up a
profitable opportunity for Monroe
county folk.
Mr.. Singleton points out that
anyone having doubts "about the
ability of this section to produce
fine papayas can readily have
their doubts removed by taking
a look at the yards in front of the
little houses on Thomas street
between Eaton and Fleming
streets.
The letter from Mr.. Moore
reads: "The Papaya Farm at Day.
tona Beach in addition to raising
papayaS in its own grove imports
from 1000 to $500 pounds from
Cuba each week in order to sat
isfy our local demands and ship
mentS.
1--WE do not get the best results
from Cuba, and we are wonder
ing if some enterprising Key
West citizen might not be inter-
ested in taking care of our needs.
From the fact that your loca-
ton is frost-proof, it should be
an ideal place for papayas if you
have suitable soil and irrigation
facilities.
''We do not presume that any
papaya development at the pres
ent time would be large enough
to take care of our business but
if some one was inclined to ex-
pand and go after our trade it
really ought to be a profitable
venture. It would require quite
large acreage and would take
year to develop, but someone
might be interested.
IF they are it would be to their
interest to come up to Daytona
Beach and get acquainted with
our situation. Our fruit comes by
boat to Miami and thence up on
truck. 1t could come just as cas-
lily by truck from Key West.

YACHT OWNER
HANDLED BOATS
Since AGE OF SIX
Mr.. GILMORE LIKES DIESELS.
WALNUT AND BUTTER
WOOD INSIDE FINISH. MO-
TORSAILER CRAFTS

At the Yacht Basin is the mo-
torsailer Trade Winds, with own
ers, Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Gilmore
of Long Island, aboard, and plan
ming first Tortugas trip and
then a trip around the eastern
Caribbean.
Accompanying them on the Tor
tugas trip will be Mr.. and Mrs.
N. Skillman and William Lafflin
of Detroit.
Mr.. Gilmore is one of those
yacht owners who really knows
his boats. He had his first boat
at six years of age. And he is
most satisfied with the present
large motorsailer.
His pride is two Diesel engines,
which pushed the motorsailer
around Florida and for a cruise
to the Bahamas for an amazing
total of $23. All future cruisers
will have Diesels, Mr.. Gilmore
believes.
Beautiful natural finish walnut
is used in the interior and is
treated only with wax. Forward
in the main bridge butterwood,
lighter wood, is used.
Interesting to boatmen is the
fact that the Diesels are fresh
water cooled, salt water not be-
ing introduced into the head and
block for cooling purposes. In
stead, a small three-gallon wa
ter tank is used with the fresh
water cooled by pipes running
into the cool seawater just inside
the keel where there is no dan
ger of injury.
If there is any swell in deep
water trips, Mr.. Gilmore said that
he raises the jib and mainsheet
on the motorsailer to steady the
boat and make it more comfort
able. To, if anything happens tc
the crew, Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore
could take the ship in.
