Imagination Brought
Into Play With
Decorations
Paint Styling Offers
Avoidance Of
BoxIike Rooms

The decoration of far too many
rooms is sadly lacking in imagina-
ton. In living room, particularly,
the four walls should not be bar
riers to shut out the world, but
rather frame for an area In which
a group of people can comfortably
watch and hear the pageant of world
affairs. With radio constantly i'm
proving our ability to visualize the
things we do not actually see, the
decoration of the rooms in which
we live should have. a quality that
stimulates imagination. Nowadays
with the aid of paint styling, that
new tool of home decoration, the
walls and woodwork of a room can
be treated in a manner in keeping
with the trend of the times. In
other words, rooms may be made q
part of the world of today and to-
morrow-even when they draw on
the past for decorative inspiration.
William Pahlmann, noted deco
rator, has just done a series of dis
play rooms in New York that are
unusual and dramatic. Combining
furniture of modern design with the
native art of tropical islands and
introducing a most interesting use
OF color, glass, material and light,
he has achieved a result that is likely
to make these rooms decorating his
tory.
One With Walls Of Pink.
One room in particular is Of de-
cided interest. 1t has walls painted
a distinctive shade of pink. This
same pink is combined with black

PLAN TEMPORARY
FERRY SER VICE
TO CUBAN PORT
PURCHASE OF TWO SMALLER
VESSELS CONSIDERED FOR
KEY wEST-HAVANA RUN;
LARGER VESSELS LATER

B. G.. Gill, treasurer of the
Pan American Link Transporta-
ton Company, told The Citizen
today that the company is con-
sidering chartering of two smaller
vessels to initiate the passenger
freight service between Havana,
Key West and Gulf ports.
The service should begin some
time before January, Mr.. Gill
thought. Backing of the COM
pany is principally through Am
erican capital out of Jackson
vile.
The two smaller vessels will
carry passengers and freight on
the round trip between Havana
and Key West. No cars are con-
templated to be carried on these
TRIPS Each ship should carry
about $50 passengers.
Later, the company plans to
have two larger vessels for the
Gulf service.

TWO WOSENTENCED
in CRIMINAL COURT
TWO OTHERS RECEIVE FINES
FOR DRUNKEN
DRIVING

Four pleas of guilty were en-
tered in Criminal Court this
morning at a brief special session
held at IL O'Clock in the county
court house at which Judge Will
liam v. Albury presided with all
court officials present.
George F. Sweeting, who was
arrested several days ago and
given preliminary hearing on
charges of contributing to the
delinquency of a minor girl and
assault and battery, entered a plea
of guilty.
The story of his offense was re-
capitulated by County Solicitor
Allan B. Cleare, Jr., who gave a
detailed account of the testimony
given by witnesses and the re-
suit was that the charges were
divided into three and included
one of indecent exposure.
Sentence as passed by Judge
Albury was as follows: For as
sault and battery the sentence
was six months in the county
jail On the charges of contri-
buting to the delinquency of a
minor the sentence was so days
and the charge of indecent ex-
posure was regarded with a SEN
tence of go days, making a total

CONTEST FEATURES
SCOUT CLEANUP
BEACH CAMPAIGN
LIONS CLUB ANNOUNCES
ADDITIONAL PLANS FOR
WORK THAT HAS ALREADY
STARTED

Arrangements are nearing COM
pletion for the Boy Scout-Lions
program to cleanup Rest Beach,
and, as announced by the Lions
Club which held directors meet
ing last night at the home of
Jack Delaney on Caroline street,
a contest feature in connection
with the project has been worked
out.
Work over the weekend on the
project consisted of dividing the
beach into. sections for the vari-
Gus troops, the stretches being
determined by troop member
ship. All five troops in the city
have signified their enthusiastic
support of the project with the
exception of Troop No. 81. Scout
master Albert G. Pierce, who was
out of town last week when the
initial meeting was held on the
plan. Mr.. Peirce has declared,
however. that his troop will fall
in with the others when plans
are divulged.
Signs to place at section
boundaries have been prepared
which will give credit !, to the
troops. The plan isSto have the
various troops work oatS their
own schedule of cleanup work;
although member Lions and any
other citizens interested, will be
on hand to assist the scouts. I
December has been named as
the deadline date at which time
work is, to be concluded. Judg-
ing of best work done will then
be conducted and prize awards
to the winning troops will be
made. 1t is also planned to hold
a huge scout jamboree soon after
that date to officially open the
beach for the season, and the
awards would be given out at the
affair.
The committee in the Lions
Club is investigating the posi-
bility of obtaining scarifier
from the W.P.A. to tear up the
vegetation. Then the scouts
could more easily clear away all
weeds, burrs and trash.
Contributions of gloves and
garden implements will be
sought in the near future from
residents and merchants. Troop
meetings this week will feature
complete working plans for the
scouts.

CONNABLES RELATE
OF THRILLING TRIP

Mr.. and Mrs. Horace Connable.
who have arrived for the winter
season, had an interesting expert
ence while making a tour of the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts this
summer.
On the British cruise ship,
Duchess of Richmond" they
were returning through the Carib-
bean after a trip to the Pacific
coast. Hawaii, Alaska and back to
the islands of the West Indies.
Suddenly the ship began to zig
gag and sailors brought out sand
bags and placed them around the
decks. Covers for all portfolios
and other lights were placed on
the vessel. Passengers were
wondering what it was all about.
Then it was learned that the
captain had received notice of the
approach of war from the ships
home office and had ordered the
precautions.
The connables were told that
the ships captain believed he
had seen a submarine at one
point in the Caribbean Sea.

BOWL OF RICE.
AFFAIR THIS YEAR
MONEY FOR CHINESE RELIEF
TO BE RAISED BY CON
TRIBUTIoNs

Officers of the Key West coun-
Gil of the United Council for
Civilian Relief in China, met
Monday afternoon with Mrs. M.
Z. Berkowitz, chairman, and
Mayor Willard Albury, co-chair-
man. when "A Call To Aims" was
sounded in behalf of civilians in
war-torn China.
Ways and means of raising
funds to assist the National Coun-
Gil in carrying on this humani-
tartan work were discussed, and
it was decided that voluntary
contributions would be solicited
during the campaign instead of
having Bowl of Rice Party as
last year.
Each contributor to the cause
will receive a numbered ticket,
which will entitle the holder to
a chance on a signed reproduc-
ton of beautiful water color
painting, First Lesson, by Use
Wing Kwong, San Francisco art
ist. The number of signed re-
productions of this painting is
limited to 100, one each being
sent to the first one hundred
cities which have organized their
council for Civilian Relief in
China. !,
As Key West made such
creditable showing in last years
campaign, the officers of the local
council feel that the city viii
again be listed among large con-
tributors to the cause.
Mrs. A. NJ. Hewett, treasurer of
the local group. will contact all
civic. fraterna1 and social organi-
cations in the city and enlist their
aid. Talks win be made to the
school children in order that they
may assist.
October 80 is the date set for
a one-day campaign to raise
funds for this humanitarian
cause, it is stated.
