WARREN

Continued rom Page One)
IN his championship OF the poor
and distressed Of this city and for
many years served as chairman
OF the committee having in charge
the wants Of the aged. infirm and
needy.
He was also an ardent advocate
OF complete aid from Monroe
County to the Key West Fire De-
partnent and it was largely
through his efforts that the help
given to the said Key West Fire
Department in the form OF addI-
tional employees paid by the
county was Continued.
Mr.. Warren viii also long be
remembered for his untiring eff
forts IN behalf of a motor road
from the mainland OF Florida to
Key West. He had the vision and
foresight TO see the advantages
which would accrue to Monroe
County by the establishment of
such highway and his efforts
were always untiring in this be-
half until he achieved his goal
Those of us who were fortunate
enough to know Mr.. Warren and
to term him our friend land his
acquaintance in this community
was widespreaO were most
forcibly impressed by his silent
courage and fortitude in enduring
the most trying of all physical
handicaps almost total blind
ness.
There are many who, under
ike circumstances and at Mr..
Warrens advanced age, would
have resigned themselves to
life of inactivity and Incidence,
but such was not the case with
Mr.. Warren His handicap SEEM
ed to stimulate his mental activity
and TO make him more acutely
aware of the sufferings of other
individuals, who were less for
tunately situated than he.
In fact, it may well be said that
through bodily suffering, which
he endured with uncomplaining
stoicisn, the true worth of this
mans character was exposed TO
the admiring glance of all who
knew him.
1t is not the purpose of this
memorial that it should serve as a
eulogy to Braxton Bragg Warren
The life of Mr.. Warren in this
community is a greater eulogy
and a more fitting tribute than
any words, which we at this time
In our humble way can express
However, we do think it fitting
that at the first meeting of this
Board held after the death of our
late fellow-Servant, we should
make a matter of record our SEN
timents and our keen feeling OF
loss occasioned by his death.

DIAMOND CLEANTNCS

SOFTBALL experienced an
other of a long series Of setbackE
early this week-a setback so Sc
we're the proposed round-robin
has been called off.
In an attempt TO revive interest
in the sport, plans for the tourna-
ment were worked out last Sat-
urday by two managers and a
captain of the city's leading three
teams Umpires. scorekeeper and
gatekeeper were appointed; first
round schedule drawn; method of
settling disputes arising in the fu-
ture agreed upon, and Christmas
prizes for the fans selected.
Only remaining obstacle was
funds for the deposit of the cleo
trio meter to be installed at Bay
view Park field The team rep
resentatives decided TO divide the
expense into three equal parts.
The measely sum OF $3.50 remain
ed in the treasury of the disband-
ed Service and Civilian Leagues.
To this had to be added S12-12
for the required amount that was
necessary to install the meter
earlier this year The managers
dug into their pockets and pro-
duced S4O5 each, their equal
share At last, they believed
everything was ready for the
opening of the round-robin Tues
day night. They soon learned
their optimistic belief was
groundless.
In due time. application was
made at the electric company for
installation of the meter. To their
surprise, the managers were in
formed the deposit required
would be $500 instead of $500
That was the knockout blow.
Only $1,000 more, you say.
Yes. a small sum to be sure. But
don't overlook the fact that the
managers, and not the public.
must bear the burden of this and
future expenses-for the public's
entertainment That's the catch.
The managers were wiling to
foot" the $500 expense but an
increase of $1,000 carried them
into the red.
Important factor to be consid-
erel is that softball in the recent
past has been losing PROPOSE
ton. Games have been staged for
the public's enjoyment but there
has been meager support There
fore, the managers were faced
with the problem of risking their
money without any assurance of
profit. or, satisfactory to them.

When the Service and Civilian
Leagues were organized the lat
ter part of September, nine teams
were entered. Each club was re-
quired to post a $500 entrance
fee that went into the general
funds. When the league disband-
ed in November that total of
S27.00 had been paid out for ex-
penses incurred and all but S2.S8
of the $500 meter deposit used
to satisfy all debt. Receipts at
the games never covered expens-

FATS IN THE FIRE

The fats in the fire and our navy
is in Hawaii. Our miniature army
is relatively equipped with bows and
arrows. It is pitiful Falstaffian
insufficiency. We are quibbling
about the design of rifle already
adopted and in production after
years of experiment. 1t appears
now that the navy has known the
facts of its weakness against bombs
from above, mines from below and
secret foreign building programs for
some time-without admission be-
fore the crisis.
Surely there was no ignorance in
this government about the absolute
" inefficient equipment of our army
in almost everything needful for
modern war and its own grotesque
inadequacy.
Everybody is now squawking
about our lack of tin and rubber and
our failure of action in motorizing
and mechanizing our army. This
column has been squawking about it
for five years. Seven years ago
this writer had written into the Re-
covery act ample authority and APP
preparations to do all these things
as a combination measure of re-
employment, recovery and defense.
That was the year Hitler started.
