Practically every one of the
main highways from the north
and east into Florida are featur-
ing Key West prominently in
their advertising matter. This is
significant in the extreme. None
of these organizations are es-
pecially interested in this city.
Their giving it so much publicity
can mean only one thing-they
feel Kew West is a real drawing
card to travellers. =.
Peter o. Knight recently said:
I want every child to have an
education, but l want them to
have a proper one. The bunk we
now have in our educational sys-
tenn should be eliminated. 1t IS
not what our school system costs
that l object. 1t is the fact we
are not getting our moneys
worth"

vey by one of our large industrial cities shows that SOsS of highway accidents are occurring to defense workers going to, and from their jobs. Thousands of persons work ing for the first time in years have purchased automobiles and are driv- ing them to and from work"
 Throughout the cooperation of the employers of these workers, the study showed, the sharp upward trend of traftic accidents has been checked. It was found that one of the most effective methods was the plan whereby the police sent ro- tice Of every traf11c violation to the local safety council, which trans mitted copy of it to the employer of the violator, The notice was brought to the attention of the em- ploye by his foreman or other i'm mediate superior, who asked the vio-, lator in 8 friendly way to be more careful in the future. Along with other plans. this has cut the acci- dent record of this city more than 5O%."

 The feature match was the one between the Canaries and Deegan's Ducks, and was marked by the su- perb rolling of Charlie AngelliM and Ray Deegan who teamed up long enough to take one game and threw first place into a tie. In another exciting match the Orioles won two of three from Rosser,s Robins.

x5 ~%&Ae~@AAA SSA@N@ Europe, are piled high with food stocks and other war supplies.
 Lying at anchor in the harbor are United States, British, Norwegian, Free French, and other Allied ner- chant vessels.
 Adding to the obvious signs of war are the wrecks of numerous vessels pulled up on the beach or lying on their sides in shallow water. Some were wrecked in the tremendous gales which sweep Iceland. Of one, only the forward half remained. It had been torpedoed few miles off Iceland, sheared cleanly in two. Water tight bulkheads kept part of the hull afloat and 1t had been lowed in for salvage.
 Standing in from the sea, the first impression of Reykjavik and its harbor is of a huge watercolor, with low, white buildings glinting In the sun and / etched sharply against the blue-green of the nnoun- tains behind and on each side.
 Streets Are Narrow
 The narrow streets follow the pat tern laid down nearly 1000 years ago, crooked and seeming to cut in on one another without plan.
 Because Iceland has no trees and thus no lumber of its own, office buildings and home are almost all builE of stone or concrete. The tallest is six stories.
 The parliament building is of two stories, presenting much the same appearance as country school in the United States.
 On 8 diagonal across from the parliament building is the broad casting station, most modern of the buildings in Reykjavik. Across the city square from the broadcasting station is the Hotel Borg, the city's principal hotel.
 Reykiovik, because of the protect ing gulf stream, has a comparatively mild climate, subject, however, to frequent changes and heavy fog. One resident told me that last win ter the city had no snow and little if any frost.
 Tn midsummer daylight is 20 hours long.
 Sidewalks of the business section of Reykjavik were torn up just prior to the German occupation of Denmark, Icelands then sister democracy, to make way for steam pipes which were to furnish heating to the entire city from hot springs.
 The plan since has been ahan- doned temporarily because iron pipes which were to have been ob- tained from Denmark were cut off by the occupation. Dirt was thrown back into the trenches but the con- crete never restored. AS result the walks, like the streets, are muddy and filled with chuck holes.
 War Signs Everywhere
 Even in the residential section signs of war abound.
 Some air raid shelters have been constructed and here and there are heaps of sandbags. Barricades have been prepared against possible invasion along principal roads lead- ing into the city.
 Reykjavik thus far has had no air raids. although warning sirens have walled a number of alarms, one just q day before this correspondent ar rived.

SKILLED HELP IS
 GROWING SHORT
Workers in Conn. May Be Drafted From Non-De-
 fense Plants in State

Hartford, Conn. Aug p = (UPo Expansion of defense industries threatens to create shortage of skilled workers which may have to be relieved by drafting workers from non-defense plants, state Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher said today.
 A review of industrial conditions throughout the state during the past month, he said, sowed "the most significant development was the growing concern of manufacturers with defense contracts about the procurement of adequately trained personnel to take care of further expansion.
 "Concentration on the problem of materials priorities has obScured the more latent problem of skilled la bor supply, but the anomaly of nom defense industries with an adequate staff of trained nachinists and toolmakers operating side by side with concerns engaged exclusively in defense work has raised the question of whether 8 transfer of workers to defense industries may be arranged on a temporary, CO., operative basis, or whether more direct action may be necessary"
 Danaher said many women had been trained in machine shop prac- tices but there was a reluctance of some manufacturers to modify their employment practices so that these young women may be absorbed by industry, excepting hazardous oc- cupations or on heavy machinery"
 He said this would not solve the labor supply problem; and that the reservoir in iaon-defense industries must be tapped in the near future.

Why Aanicipdl , Court Judges
 Stop Smiling

After the criminal side Of the municipal court was ad- jOuFned, Judge T. E. Conway heard Q civil case presented by Atty. Lawrence katRlln in which judgment was notices to vacate.
 The chain Of circumstances presented to the court ran in this fashion:
 Nathan Ruhenstein bought house from the bank and Jul- ius Tar became his tenant; then the Tar family bought . house and his tenant became Nathan Shainc; then out went ShmiMe who also bought Q house and his tenant, a woman, refused to move, claiming be- cause of her condition and attendant circumstances she was allowed to live in the house by an. unwritten law.
