Here in Key West, where ma
ture natures early and blossoms
luxuriantly, are the budding nu-
raj artists of the future.
Inspired by the many decora-
tions so lavishly furnished by
Uncle SANS artists during the
FERA days in Key West, these
youngsters have painted from
their own designs, as imaginative
and colorful a picture of the spir-
il of Key West as only youth
can.
Done under the auspices of the
Roosevelt Summer Camp, which
ran from June 10 TO August 80.
this mural is an outstanding
achievement and a plea for some
foIm OF art instruction in the
public schools.
The camp directors, Mrs. Eva
Warner and George Mills White.
in charge of recreational activi
ties, and F. Townsend Morgan, in
charge Of the art program, are
to be congratulated on their eff
forts and should be encouraged
to continue the experiment an
nually, giving the children some
thing to look forward 10 in the
long summer vacation period.
The mural, an eight by ten
feet panel, was the idea of Roger
l. Wilcox, staff artist of the Art
Center. He asked for volunteers
for the project and five of the
class students were willing to
try their hand at this adventure
in paint. They are Ruth Strick-
er, Betty Lou Roberts, Nora JOr-
dan, Rose Marie Sawyer, and
Marion Solano.
Having prepared their designs
during class periods they were
eventually ready to begin work
on the full-size panel, which was
a piece of wall board furnished
by the students. Daily this COM
mon board took on added color
and beauty. Here in one corner
was an island dashed with savage
fury by hurricane. palms bent
by a titan wind, air filled with
flying debris. Emerging from all
this is a beautiful new highway
dotted with cars, symbolic Of
what was to come. Another stu

through youthful eyes, glowing
with color; a remarkable homo
geneous piece of work consider
ing it was the blending OF five
minds and techniques. Instructor
Wilcox added his professional
touch by lettering an inscription
round the border and the mural
was ready for the critical gaze of
the public.
This noteworthy effort on the
part Of these young people has
been suggested as a memorial TO
the late Professor Duncan, who
was the well-loved principal of the
Harris School. He would have
been immensely interested in the
project and proud of his five clev-
er students.

IT Is easy to look back now and
see that Sandra and Ivan be-

easy TO see why Sandra was not

and conceit. | believe her sue
cesses had convinced her that she
was infallible. On top of that she
was without discrimination, as her
weakness for IvaL shows; and
she believed in miracles.
This last is the most important
single fact to remember-the es-
Sential clue not only to her char
acter but to the terrifying events
which followed the death of Ivan.

moment on the barge when l had

Apparently she had. Then why,
in the name of all the saints, had
she promised to marry JEFF?
Perhaps if had been more fully

have pressed her for some of the
answers; might have caught her

That doesn't mean that there

The treasury,s statistics are based

A total of 6,155,856 returns were
filed up to June 30. It was found
