Tropical forests are nearly always
crowded with many beautiful species
of ferns. From the minute ones to
the tree ferns, all carry family char
acteristics so evident that even a
novice can recognize them.
Here in the moisture-laden air
the tree ferns may be a major part
of the dominant growth, or they
may form the thicket or what is
termed the under forest which
flourishes in the semi-shade in the
areas where very high forest trees

The tree ferns" belong in the
Cyatheaceae to separate them from
species of other fern families which
are as a rule not at all arboreScent.
In most of the species of tree
ferns the trunk is erect, reaching
a height of to 40 feet. The whole
plant bears marked resemblance
to a tree, both in size and proper
tionS, and for this reason it has

Mrs. Max Eastman
To Assist Players

The Key West Players were
presented with a ''bit O. good
news last evening when they
learned that Mrs. Max Eastman
had volunteered to work with
them on the coming production
of 'Squaring The Circle" during
her stay in the city.
Mrs. Eastman will conduct
personal instruction for members
of the cast, assisting in estab-
fishing fundamentals of acting.
She brings a vast experience
from the play-acting world to
the local players, being one of
the original organizing members
of the famous Provincetown
Players, and acted in the plays
that Eugene O'Neill wrote for
that group. Later she starred on
Broadway in those same plays.
A short business meeting of
the organization will be held
next Tuesday night, following
which Mrs. Eastman will give in
dividual instruction. She has in
structed that everyone come pre-
pared to act a small episode or
mood, such as ''vainly waiting
for a girl. This type instruction
is considered quite valuable to
the group and all are looking
forward to the experience.

to Cuba by the International
Ocean Telegraph Co. Later,
with Mr. McClintock he became
interested in the salt pans. i.
Around 1870, he, together with
William Curry and the late Cap
tain Cosgrove, ST., purchased the
brig, ''Tropic Bird, and estab-
lished a freight and passenger
service between Key West and
New York. Two years later he
was instrumental in procuring
permission from Washington to
have the native coral rock quar-
ried at Fort Taylor for building
the Convent of Mary Immaculate
In 1878 he was placed in
charge of the construction of
FoWey Rock lighthouse. For
more than 80 years, Mrs. Brinton
has been stationed with the
colonel in practically every port
in this country and the ISthmus
of Panama. She has also travel
ed extensively in Europe, Central
America and the West Indies. :.
Home and garden is her hobby.
She is a marvellous housekeper
whose motto appears to be: "a
place for everything and every
thing in its place. She spends
many hours in her garden whose
beauty is testimony to her loving
solicitude. She has unusual eX-
ecutive ability and a gift of
adaptibility that is of immeasur-
able value to the wife of a mill
tary man. She is fond of out
door life and excelS in swimming
She is interested in civic af-
fairs and is a member of the
Woman's and Garden Clubs, and
the Community Art Center.
Love for and interest in her fell
low man is Mrs. Brinton's out
standing characteristic. She
likes the personal touch so diff
cult to attain in large cities: hence
the desire to make Key West
her home. Her love of people
finds its outlet in being of serv-
ice to the handicapped. She is
tremendously interested in any
remedial work and has accom-
plished splendid results with the
blind. She became interested
while stationed at the Isthmus of
Panama. DESTROYS of helping a
little blind girl, she learned
Braille, the wonderful system of
raised characters that enables the
blind to read. This was the be-
ginning Of a most worthwhile
work, which she has carried on
for the past twelve years. Dur
ing this time she has assisted a
number of blind boys and girls
to obtain an education and to fill
their niche in life. Mrs. Charles
Travelli, who heads the F. J.
Travelli Endowment Fund of Bos-
ton, has been of the utmost as
sistance to Mrs. Brinton in her
mission. This fund gives $780,
900 annually to the needy. One
hundred and twenty scholarships
alone are given to college boys.
1t is interesting to learn that a
protege of Mrs. Brinton was CIV
en- one of these scholarships.
Although she has been here
scarcely a year, Mrs. Brinton has
already taken up her work among
the blind of Key West. 1t is all
a thrilling adventure to her-this
helping the handicapped to help
themselves, and she goes into the
work with the greatest enthusi-
asm. The description of a lady,
they say, is one who gives more
to the world than she asks from
it. If this be true, then the name
of the Coloners Lady should head
the list.

With Martyr Green, Sydney Gran

favorites of the D'Oyly Carte Opera

popular Gilbert and Sullivan opera

when photographed in this hand

fellow who impersonates Diamond

expect him to come riding into the

vate Pullman, is trying to make up
for that impression he created as
the conniving political boss of Mr..
Smith Goes to Washington He
was telling all up at Variety yes
terday afternoon, where he was
hosted by Carter Barron, and it
seems Mr.. Arnold really is a re-
spectable citizen, with the future
OF the country on his mind.
Major concern on this Washing
ton visit of MI. Arnold, who planed
out of here last night for retakes
to give a picture named Johnny

the motion picture business. Rather
Mr.. Arnold was here to discuss with
sundry Government folk the future
of a movement known as the Il Am

he is devoting considerable OF his
time.

ship is something important and that
the young man and young woman
who attains the voting age should
realize it.
There are ceremonies" he says.
'for birthdays, for marriage and Tor
everything else. But what happens
when YOU become 81? Nothing. You
are Just 81 and you don't pay any
attention. You are of age but 1t
means nothing in particular to you.
Maybe you vote and maybe you
don't"
Now if this plan. which has the
support of many influential admins
traitors of our affairs and many law
makers, goes through. there Will be
a day a year set aside for an ap-
propriate ceremony to initiate those
who have come of age into the
honors of citizenship. They will be
shown their burden and the part
they have to play and be brought to
the knowledge that now is the time
to take up the burden and play the
part.

HERRIN PREDICTS
FURTHER GROWTH
Sees Sea Island Resort Town
Ultimately Reaching Sta
tus Of A City

"Wrightsville Beach this year is
going to surpass all past records
in the field of entertaining the va
cationing crowds of the nation"
Dan j. Herrin, mayor of the town
of Wrightsville Beach, predicted
Yesterday as he sat on the front
porch of his beach home, enjoying
the cooling breezes.
For the past three years." he
said, 1--WE have had an average OF
SIS, 900 a year spent here on con-
struction," he said, land tn i S
years mark will equal that.
"Many improvements have been
made since the close of last
season and this year the re-
sort is in better condition to
care for crowds than ever BEFORE"
he said, mentioning such work as
the drilling of two new wells to
give the sea island beach a more
adequate and pleasant-tasting wat
er supply, the removal of street
car tracks from Lumina avenue
after buses replaced the ancient
electric trolley cars which former
ly ran to the beach from Whining
ton,, and the complete revamping
of the towns police force.
We have as fine a water supply
this summer as anyone could de-
SIRE" the mayor said, land when
we have completed project on
Lumina avenue there won't be a
house on the beach that isn't di-
rectly accessible by automobile"
Herrin said it is planned to tear
up, at the end of the season, the
boardwalk which now extends down
the eastern side of Lumina avenue
and to build one on the western
side instead. Lumina avenue then
will be made into a one-way street,
with traffic moving southwark on
it, so that those living in houses on
the ocean side of the boardwalk
will be able to get directly to their
houses by automobile.
It is not contemplated, he said.
that this street will be used as a
thoroughfare and will not be open
tc trucks, but will be available to
people desiring to reach ocean
side cottages.
"Wrightsville Beach is growing
rapidly, both in physical structures
end in popularity. The reason is
that it has blessings that no other
ocean resort has: a fine beach,
with a clean, wide strand; an ex-
celent sound. The island is al
most entirely free of mosquitoes,
though some few are brought over
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-06-16

from the man and in AUTOMOBILES.
There is practically no ragweed
here at all, anl what little bit is
mere $ rapidly being extermnated.
The people here pleasant,
friendly and cordially hosp,table,
and the people from away from
f:ere appreciate that and for that
reason are co-nirg to Wrightsville
Beach in greater numbers ,ach
year., he sa;a.
FIerrin envisiels a great future
for Wrightsviile Beach. In the near
future he sees the erection of a
combination assembly building and
motion picture theatre, sufficiently
large to care for all the larger con-
ventions, better bus service Up and
down the island proper. and :. con.
tinuarion of the tremendous puild-
ing program which has been car
lied cut there for the past several
years.
He is high in his. praise of the
work which is being done by the
Wrightsville Beach Board of Trade
in advertising the beach, pointing
out that even with all the God
given advantages which we have
here, the beach would not grow
unless people knew about it. But
more and more we are getting our
message spread over the United
States and people r coming to
recognize Wrishtsville Beach las
the premier sea island beach of
the Atlantic Coast.
Last year." he said, II person
ally saw cars on Wrightsville Beach
from ~ of the 48 states. Already
this year there have been visitors
here from II states and, though l
Go not keep the closest scrutiny
on them, I believe before the sea-
son is owe I will see cars from
every state in the Union" I

catch enough to fill a bucket in a
few hours.
The second method, usually more
popular with children who do not
have the patience to watch crab
lines, is to stroll up the shore of
the sound barefooted and catch the
crabs in a net as they make a dash
for deeper water at the approach
of the crabber. Though this meth
cd is not usually as productive of
crabs as the pier Grabbing, it has
far more excitement and fun, with
an occasional splashing when a
wild sweep is made with the crab
net, or a ducking when a youngster
loses his balance in a wild dash
for an elusive crab.
Dancing, INCORPORATING, sailing,
aquaplaning, beach basking and
other forms of diversion also play
a part in the happy life of a va
cationist at this sea island beach.
