ROTES PLANNING
BEACH CLEANUP
TOURISTS CLEANUP SOUTH
BEACH THIS MORNING:
HELP KEY WESTERS"

A committee from the Rotary
Club, composed of w. r. Fleck
and J. J. Trevor, are investigat
ing possibilities of establishing
hired help to clean up South
Beach regularly.
Appointed at the Rotary lunch
con yesterday the committee has
plans of hiring a man who will
work daily or one who will clean
up the beach weekly. Funds are
to be supplied by the Rotary
Club and possibly other clubs of
the city.
Much complaint of the untidy
condition of the beaches has been
heard recently and The Citizen
carried an editorial on the mat
ter yesterday.
i Thirty tourists headed by A. l..
Hunt today cleaned Rest Beach
thoroughly and were tapering off
their work when interviewed by
The Citizen.
Hunt said in learning that the
Rotary Club had appointed a
committee to consider the state
of the beach, 1--WE took up the
work from the resolution on. We
realize that the people of Key
West are working hard and we
who are mostly on vacation de-
cided to do the work for them.
All Seaweed and other untidi-
ness was swept away, and the
beach has a metamorphic look.

SOCIAL SECURITY
NUMBER IS SHOWN
TO BE ESSENTIAL
UNEMPLOYED WORKERS Ap-
PLYING AT OFFICE RE-
QUESTED TO FURNISH
NUMBER

Unemployed workers applying
at the local offices of the Flor
ida State Employment Service,
under VIM. v. Little, should be
prepared to furnish their social
security account number, accord
ing to Fons A. Hathaway, direc-
tor of the state employment
service.
The director points out that
numerous delayed claims for I'M
employment compensation in the
state now paying benefits, could
be traced to the failure of eligible
claimants to secure social security
account numbers while they
worked in covered employment,
or to the fact that they held more
than one number.
Every worker in Florida
should have social security
number, in order to avoid delay
in the payment of his benefit"
Hathaway explains, "but it is
equally important that the work
er have only one number as the
possession of more than one num-
Der is as confusing as none at
ALL"
Any worker who has no social
security number or who holds
more than one number is being
advised to report Immediately to
the local state employment Of
flee.
''The State Employment Serv-
ice will notify the Social Security
Board" he said, land where a
worker has more than one num-
Der the board will bring together
into one account the several num-
bers and all but one will be can
celled and the worker be notified
which number he is to retain"

| The Citizen Yachts reporter is
nervous wreck today!
! You see, Albert Pack of the
Yacht Chieftain who it will be
remembered caught a 100 pound
tarpon, a $50 pound Jewish, a
200 pound shark, one eight foot
, and one seven and e half foot
sailfish, besides a fishbox full of
stream and reef fish for one of
the best fishing days in recent
Key West history, has just been
told that more tarpon has been
rising to scraps thrown over
board by his fishing guide. That's
how his fishing day started last
time, when he cast a bait among
those tarpon and hooked the 100
FOUNDER.
! So if those tarpon right there
alongside his yacht are acting up
again, this reporter can hardly
stand the strain of preparing to
write another one of those
stories! BY the way, Mr.. Pack
has a beautiful new fishing boat
! in blue and white with flying
bridge. =

Darby, Jr. in the yacht, Sylvia

president of the Thomas Case

Captain of the boat is Arthur

to spend the winter in Key West.
On the Balmy Days is an, n auto

Portable, Captain Wade said A
radio compass is another feature
of the boat.
Rather strange appears the At4l
titude the David Garners-of st.
Petersburg take. toward fishing
here. but not so odd on further
investigation. Here on their
launch, ''Lapwing", a forty
fioter, the Carriers never go fish
ing in their launch preferring to
fish from bridges. During the
week they have spent most of
their time at Boca Chica bridge.
But-what's not so funny about
it all, is that the Carriers, who
like tarpon fishing best of all,
caught two tarpon there during
the week fishing with light
tackle. Larger fellows have brok-
en- their lines.

latter part of this month cele-
brating the birthday of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. will be on Satur-
day. January 20. The dance will
be held at Raul's Club on the
boulevard and il was proposed
that a supper be given at La
Concha Hotel. This was at the
second meeting held to discuss
the subject. in the office of DR..
H. C. Galley on Eaton street. last
night.
II was later in the evening de-
cided to make further investiga-
tons into the matter of the sup
per, and contact other institu-
tons relative to the arrange
ments. The price of the tickets
for supper and dance was pro-
posed at $3.50, but there were
certain objections offered as to
the price proposed for the din
ner, which called for the discus
sion and resulted in the PROPOSE
ton for further investigation.
II was the sense of the meet
ing that the committee, members
of which are c. G. Hicks, Fred
Eberhardt, George Lucas, DR..
Amanda Coho, Larry Gardner
and John Delgado, meet with
managers of other institutions
with facilities for furnishing the

each to hold a dime, be placed in
the hands of individuals who will
make an effort to have the spaces
filled with dimes and sent to
committee headquarters as soon
as ready.
The circular tin cans for the
collection of coins of any descrip-
ton, are to be placed in busy
places throughout the city, and it
is believed that the cans will be
well filled when the time arrives
TO collect them. Several of the
cans which have already been
placed indicate generous contri-
buttons.
1t is the intention of DR.. Galley
TO have the tickets printed for
the functions at the earliest pos
sible moment, and they will con-
sist of a coupon for the name of
the buyer, another coupon for the
dance and the ticket for the sup
per. The coupon for the name of
the buyer is to keep track of those
who have been contacted, and
provide against them being asked
again.
Distributions of the tickets will
be made to persons in different
walks of life, so many to llch
group, to insure the possibility of
every person being approached
for the purchase of one or more.
All matters are to be arranged
and worked out satisfactorily by
the end of this week.
