THE ISLAND CITY

NOTICED a little old man in
town today. Now there are
many little old men who are in
town, but this one is in town in
a rather unique way. His lower
limbs are gone and he is support
ed by base mounted ON roller
wheels. Last Saturday afternoon
we were going north to Miami
and the little old man was roll
ing away southwark. He was
pushing along, using his hands on
| the road to propel himself. We
thought from distance it was a
schoolkid or something walking
down the highway. Today the
little old man is gazing at the
sights of the town with consid-
cradle awe. 80
ROY HAMLIN tells us W.P.A.
engineer was down this week
looking over proposed plans for
an athletic field. Roy immedi-
ately mapped out plenty am
bilious plans. The engineer then
asked about what the city could
afford. The figure reached was
not so very high. So the engi-
neer asked Roy to name the
principal structures needed in the
athletic field Roy then said
/ "a a good diamond with red clay
infield, dirt outfield and mari
under stands, all properly erased
| ~ bleachers with showers and
dressing rooms and roof (3) fence
around field (4) night lighting
/ system. This can all be secured
for around $4,000 total. Spon-
sorship would be around $4,000.
Now the city is expected to do
nate the tract OF land for the
site at the end of Avenue F
along Flagler Avenue. This will
lop off from $4,000 to $4,000. At
most there will be but $4,000
cash required locally. Several of
Key Vests more prosperous mer-
chants are expected to volun-
teer monies for this amount as it
will be q self-liquidating project.
One Miami person alone has
volunteered $1,000.

ably wouldn't announce it, nearly
all the older destroyers in the
first squadron which was sent
to Key West will be shipped back
to Norfolk and decommissioned
or junked. AS the Navy secures
funds for new destroyers it will
build them and scrap the old.
The old destroyers are very in
adequate with plates wearing out
and making them not as sea-
worthy as they should be. Orders
for the Claxton up until this
morning were to sail for Norfolk
to be laid up. However, counter
orders were sent down requiring
the destroyer to remain here. II
