AMERICAN LEGION ECHO:
| Commander w. ]. Sehoneck and
his committee members Of the
Arthur Sawyer Post are receiv-
ing much deserved praise for the
good time had by all at the Fifth
District Conference held in Key
West. Bill Lee, who worked at
all ends of the affair as well as
lat publicity; DR.. A. M. Morgan,
POSTMASTER; r. "A. Lehman, John
ny Delgado, T. A. Woody and
others, made a great success of
the conference. Visitors report a
most delightful time and were
elated with the hospitality of the
Key West people. Among the
distinguished guests attending
the conference was Major Harvey
Payne of Miami, National Execu-
/ tive Committeeman. Harvey is
one of the best known, best loved
men in Florida, a native of Jack
sonville but claimed by the state
at-large. There was also p. N.
Hiatt, of West Palm Beach, chair
man of the National Committee
for the Sons of the Legion, accom-
panied by his lovely wife, who
has long been active in Auxiliary
work; and Mr.. and Mrs. James O.
Sheppard, of Edgefield, S. c. Mr..
Sheppard is National Commander
of the Forty and Eight and has
otherwise distinguished himself
by marrying one of South Caro-
lina's most beautiful daughters.
W.P.A.: Judging by the num-
Der of projects planned or pro-
posed for W.P.A. work in Key
West it sounds as if the planners
think in terms of third terms.
RESTING MATCHES:
Watching some of the new dane
ing, one wonders which of the
partners will soon take the
count.
TAXlCAB DRIVERS: None but
licensed taxi drivers should be
allowed to act as tourist guides.
These men pay an occupational
license, are competent to show
the city to the best advantage
and are among those who pay for
the upkeep of the city. With the
exception of one or two men who
are not really taxi drivers, who
drag the tourist off to slums, the
other men deserve this business
and it would save the tourist
from being annoyed, as is often
the case.
FAN DANCER: Sally Rand
claims a new speed record from
California to Reno. However, it
seems that the speed from Cali
fornia to Reno has been anything
but slow so far.
AFFLICTTON: The members of
our human race who move me
most to scornful diction are SEN
sitive and injured souls luxuriat-
ing in affliction.
NO DIGNITY: Business men
sending out cards by dirty UNI
kempt tramps on the streets to
solicit business instead of doing
legitimate advertising.
AIM
Il do not aim for wealth or fame;
I've other hope than that
/ long to find before die
Just one becoming hate Il !
BUSIEST MAN IN TOWN:
Rex (Deacon) Wilson, field engi-
neer for W.P.A. and acting area
supervisor. Things are humming
but some of the songs are bad.
ON THE STREET: Miss Addie
Blemus. neat in white uniform;
DR.. and Mrs. j. B. Parramore,
looking sweet at each other; John
Sawyer. with scholarly mein;
Mrs. Harry Prindle, in the cool
set of summer dresses looking
most attractive; Mrs. Bob Spots
wood, passing by she always in
spires one to something finer;
Mrs. Annie Page. smiling as
usual; Jack Long, who dates the
prettiest girls; there is AL Mills.
walking fast, and Edgar Stark
walking slow like ship in a
calm.
When pompous people
Squelch me
With their regal
Attributes.
It cheers me to
Imagine
How they'd look
In bathing suits.
