No Three Game
Dusty Winners;
Maisto Goes Well

Returns from the first Industrial
Bowling league competition of the
season held last night at the Malta
tuck alleys provided the odd result
that in five matches, and with three
new teams in the loop this season,
no one outfit was able to "clean
sweep" the opposition, all winners
coming through by 2 to game
margin.
Individually, Bucky Maisto of the
Ingerson team was the hot" roller
with high single Of 157 and high
three Of 407, an average of 1856. U. s.
Rubber took high game honors with
the champion Chase outfit rolling
1871 for high team total. Chase shows

PREACHINGS
Especial 10 The Citizen

TALLAHASSEE, Aug. L
Days of tax exemption 20 all
who apply. apparently are over
in the supreme court too. where
there seems to be a trend towards
making folks pay taxes-if the
recent decision in the Jackson
vile housing case IS any criterion.
The thought back of that Opin-
iOn-and carried forward in the
decision on rehearing last week
that the law on exemptions is to
be very strictly construed
seems to be that when public
bodies go into business they must
pay the same taxes as others. 1t
sounds very much IN line with
the preachngs of State Comp
tToller J. NJ Lee the past few
years.
There is a Jacksonville HouS-
ing Authority. created by the
legislature TO secure federal
grants and build low-rent apart
mentS and homes for folks in
moderate circumstances. The
legislature said the property
should be exempt from taxes.
Citizens mandan1uSed the as
SCISSOR to put the property on the
roll and lost in the lower courts
Comptroller Lee declined to sup
port the exemption and the case
was appealed to the supreme
court which ruled that govern
ment or no government, the en-
teTpTise looked like a business
proposition and ordered the as
SCISSOR to tax the property He
asked for a Tehearing and the
court has finally decreed that il
the housing authority can show
its project is a charitable purpose
1t Is entitled to exemption but
unless it can show this. the as
SCISSOR shall levy advalorem taxes
as the legislature can not grant
tax exemption to federal or mu-
nlcipal enterprises operating as
private business enterprises and

There are a number of streets
IN Key West that put a terrific
strain on the chassis of auto

thoroughfare at present is Simon

ruts and holes on that street to
loosen every nut on a car.
Thus spoke a Key Wester in

many who agree with him
Particular bad spots on this
thoroughfare are between Flem-

CHARLES THOMPSON'S WOODCARVINC
Plans Future LiUelihccd; Art Center Should Aid Him
REVEALS HIS ARTISTIC CAPABILITIES


It has been said that some peo-
pie are born" for certain fields
of life's work We believe this
old adage holds true In the case
of Charles Jerome Thompson.
Charles is II years old, the son
of MIR. and Mrs. Joseph R Thomp-
son, 1425 Eliza street. His father
IS a firSt-class painter and maybe
that is what gave him the idea
for the kind of work ne is ac-
lively interested in, although it
IS just hobby at present Yet
It IS a far-cry from painting
houses to painting figures one
has carved by hand. Neverthe-
less, there may be some connec-
ton.
Young Thompson, himself,
doesn't know why he began
wOOdcarving- The idea came to
me all of a sudden he declared.
In school did draw pictures of
girls and the like, but Il had
never done any carving of wood
until about two years ago..
Since then, Charles has carved,
painted and given away many
reproductions of human and
imaginary figures. He has lost
track of the number he has pro-
duced. Il like this kind of work
and intend to continue to do it .
he said
Most outstanding of his handi-
work is the full-length replica of
Charlie Mccarthy. He made
three attempts at carving
Charles head until he was salts
fled with the likeness to the
original The third carving re-
sembles Edgar Bergen's famous
dummy almost TO the last detail
Charles mouth opens and shuts,
operated by a wire and spring in
the back. which is pulled by
hand Although he has no upper
set OF teeth at present, Charlie
has a perfect white lower set
clearly showing the patience and
firmness of hand of his Key
West creator. Legs are IN Joints
that can swing freely and toes.
not fully shaped yet. have been
cut on Charles feet Separate
pieces of wood were carved and
painted for the eyes and placed
in the openings The dummy IS
dressed in a pair Of pants, sweat
or and shoes On the sweater Is
pinned a police badge
Charlie has been offered $50
for the dummy. which was carv-
ed-out OF a railroad tie, the head
of which is in two parts glued to-
gether. Dummy Charlie has been
given to his brother and under
no circumstances VIII young
Thompson offer il for sale.
Plans for another Mccarthy are
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-08-12

now in the mind of his youthful
creator The next Charlie will
be more elaborate. Artificial
eyelashes ana eyes that can roll
are contemplated. A new suit:
more in comparison 10 the ia
nous dummy'S nashy clothes,
will be purchased. What Charles
will do with Charlie Mccarthy
No. 2 of his collection has not
even been given a thought at
present. No l was nearly two
weeks in the making, but the ex-
perience gained will tend to
shorten the time Of work on No.
2
Another famous parsonage was
the object of young ThompsOn's
carving recently. He is Benito
MussOlini Only the head Of the
Italian dictator was carved, but
artificial hair crowned the wood
en- image to make it more life
like, contrary to the shining
dome of the living Benito. This
object IS now in Miami, a gift to
a relative, Imaginary girls in
bathing suits have been produced
IN large numbers, all given away.
We saw several that are in the
possession of ThOmpson's friends.
Practically all of them were
carved with a pen-knife, and al
though they are no more than
eight or nine inches in height
they are complete even to the
little finger. They are glued to
ornamental pedestalS. also the
work of Charles.
ThomDsOn's efforts are not con-
fined to the reproduction Of real
CT imaginary human figures. He
has constructed a number of
boats, picture frames, Orna-
mental shelves and has painted
leading figures Of the fistic
world.
One Of the boats IS a replica
of a coast guard cutter, complete
with a lifeboat and a gun up
forward. Another smaller ship
resembles a passenger steamer
idea for which was gained by
viewing the s s. Cuba and an
Italian vessel Several other
boats Charles has put together
have been given to friends.
The picture frames shown US
are original and unique One has
two openings for pictures. joined
together by hinge. The design
on the framework, although SIM
pie, adds beauty to the whole
which Is vanished. Another and
a more imposing one has three
heart-shaped openings. the CEN
ter opening being the largest.

pears the painted head Of Pin
