The appearance of the seventy
piece Florida Federal Symphony
Orchestra on Thursday evening,
June 8, at the Lighthouse Indus
trial Building under Chamber of
Commerce auspices looms in the
minds of the local sponsors as by
long odds the most important
musical event ever presented in
Key West.
A complete symphonic en-
semble of this character and size
is seldom booked for city the
size of Key West, the sponsors
pointed out, for the good reason
that ordinarily the minimum
charge for such an attraction
would be nearly $4,000 a per-
Torrance. Ralph Parr, business
manager of the orchestra in Jack
sonville has explained that since
the orchestra is, unsupported
institution the services of the or
ganization are "free to every
community in the state-F.O.B.
Jacksonville. Travel and SUBJ
sistance costs only must be
covered by local ticket sale and
admission charges are scaled to
produce sufficient revenue to
cover the costs providing local
support is adequate.
The orchestra will appear here
under the baton of John Bitter,
distinguished young American
composer and conductor. Mr..
Bitter was appointed leader of
the Florida unit by DR.. Nicholai
Sokoloff, National Director of the
Federal Music Project, last fall.
He is the son of Karl Bitter, the
famous American sculptor. 1t is
sufficient to know that he is a
talented conductor and that he
will bring splendid orchestra to
play an entertaining and inter
esting program in Key West on
Thursday night, June 8.
Tickets are on. sale at the
Chamber of Commerce office and

YOUNG BEAVER SHINES
IN DEBATE

Editor, The Citizen:
A couple of weeks ago "The
Citizen" announced that JOSEPH
Beaver, S. j. was on the
affirmative side in a debate, al
in Latin. Resolved, that the
best way to secure peace is fol
the United States to refuse aio
to nations at war
The associate dean of st
Charles College, Rev. F. K. Entz
S. j. wrote to Rev. A. L. Maui
reau about the result of the de-
bate. "Your friend, Joe Beaver
was on the winning side: nc
covered himself with glory. He
is a very talented. and excellent
student"
He started at st. Joseph's
School here, and is the only Key
Wester studying for the priest
hood. There is no wonder that
he is a good speaker: he made
his debut early, as 'Hogan's
Baby,'-a bowling success, when
his brother Harry, had the lead

the Thaw of the Frozen Face, a
comedy given by Troop 2, Boy
