whole army of them-agreed to
attempt the gigantic task of writ
ing a street address on 100000
envelopes. Thursday, April II,
was selected as the day for stuff
ing the envelopes in the same
arcade where tables were pro-
vided by the Columbus Hotel and
chairs by the Biscayne Tent &
Awning Co., for Saturdays task.
Enclosures will include a picture
of the mascot of the society,
little Neil Harrington in base ball
suit and bearing the slogan Lets
Play BALI; an application for
family membership in the hospi-
tai at 81 per member of each
family and a return envelope, ad-
dressed to E. c. Romfh, First
National Bank of Miami, for use
in Miami and other areas outside
of Greater Miami territories.
Banks in Coral Gables and Mi
ami Beach will be repositories
for those cities.
Never in the history of Miami
has. any movement created such
interest. The price of member
ship, ST. per person, is popular
and since 100 cents on each dol
lar goes to the building fund (all
campaign expense is being fl
nanced by friends of the move
ment) everyone wants to help.
The campaign is expected to
raise $250,0OO.

KEY WEST, Fla, March 81
The Government plans to make
a great resort center out of this
lusty colorful village originally
called "Cayo Hueso" or Bone
Key after a great pile of pirate
bones once found here. The
word Key, itself, is a modifica-
ton of the Spanish "Cayo" mean
ing shoal, or little island, and is
probably of Basque origin. In
Haiti there is a city named AUX
Cages. 1t is French for "The
Keys" and. very probably the
origin of our ward ''Okay". Sail
tors liked the rum made at "Aux
Cages" and whenever they wish
ed to refer to anything of good
quality they always said "Okay".
1 wish I could use this term in
reference to the tarpon fishing.
According to the schedule there
should be q lot of tarpon here at
this time of wear. But, unlike
