sign is a very creditable achieve
ment and well-planned. Folks
have been kidding Mr.. Knapp of
WPA on comment of this column
that his Works Progress work on
Marine Barracks is slower than
that the Navy is doing on Sea-
mans Barracks. Those in the
know as TO the good Mr.. Knapp
has been doing in planning ahead
Key West would think this very
ungrateful of those people. Be-
sides this column has repeatedly
pointed out lately that there is a
new insistence on faster work of
WPAers on orders from Jackson

all relief is composed of workers
who have little training in actual
construction work the comparison
is favorable as to former WPA

NEW HOUSING PLAN and
location for Trumbo knocks out
the proposed athletic field plan
ned by Roy Hamlin. Hamlin is
now out scouting for another To-
cation. New housing unit will be
located near Armour plant and
will consist of about Is acres.
The proposed city athletic sta
dunn will be pretty expensive.
General thought is that we should
get a field and bleachers first,
then improvements later. A
smooth field probably laid with
red clay and grass is most import
ant. The Army project removing
fence on Fort Taylor will pro-
vide wire fence six feet high,
which the city might secure very
reasonably, if not gratis.
IT'S A SHAME. the reckless
driving prevalent here. Key
Westers have learned to watch
out for the other reckless driver,
but visitors are not so fortunate
as to be pre-warned. Commercial
trucks, and this is nearly 1000
come roaring across through
streets when they should stop at
the stop signs on the streets.
They know the stop streets very
well. Many come roaring across
a stop sign, see a car approach
ing on through street and bring
their car or truck to a quick
stop, giving the approaching
through street user heart sink
ings. Bicyclists are a special
menace. Their favorite trick is
to approach a through street at
high speed and just when you get
ready to take your car up on the
sidewalk or spin it around or
''sumpin" to avoid hitting them,
they neatly slant their bike
around the curbing to avoid you:
Bikes should stop at stop streets.
School kids, too, should be in
structed by the Schoolboy patrol
on traffic rules. Many of these
kids turn right across a car be-
hind them to turn a corner with
out a backward glance.

on this one but we've heard the
news from number of sources
so we'll pass the good word on.
There's a Dutch Steamship Com
pany seriously considering OPP
Grafton from Key West to Ha-
vana this winter. Key Westers
and Havanites would very much
like to see some sort of daily
service out of Key West and if
possible cheaper rates for trans
portation of autos. The idea is to
get tourists to go over the Over
seas Highway, which brings
them but 90 miles from Cuba.
The usual jumping off place is
now Miami, which is nearly 200
miles from Havana. Colonel
Batista of Cuba very much favors
the Key West jumping off
place.
