phenol or mentho, in it to relieve
the singing and burning. /

people who have taken the vac

FRED STEELY TAKES
OVER HIS POSITION
AT JACKSON SQUARE

Fred Lynn Steely has arrived
in Key West and taken over the
position vacated by F. B. MonSon
as director of USO in Jackson
Square.
Mr.. Seely came to Key West
from Augusta, Ga, where he
was doing volunteer USO work
and was a member of the fac
ulty of Paine College in that city
teaching sociology. He previous
ly did YMCA work in Emporia,
Kans., where his contacts with
Allen White, noted publisher,
brought him into the latter's ia
Vor.
Since graduation from Column
bia University Mr.. Seely has
been in sociology and education.
His teaching has not been con-
fined to the United States, hav-
ing taught English in China, ia
pan and in the Hawaiian islands,
in which countries he spent
about t%o~years.
Key West USO is fortunate in
securing a man of Mr.. See1y's
broad scope of vision, especially
in sociology and his influence
among the service men of this
city should have far-reaching
results in moral upbuilding it is
said.

CITE FIGURES
ON BUILDING
PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAM IS
BEING CARRIED OUT ON
GIGANTIC SCALE

Florida's construction program
continues to be dominated by pub
lie works and is not likely to be
unfavorably affected by recent
WPB orders. This is shown by an
analysis of construction figures,
including those for last month.
However, the gigantic public
works program now being carried
out will offer a fertile field for
postwar planners.
Florida construction contracts
awarded through September.
1912, amounted to more than
$246, 100000, an increase of 148 per
cent over the comparable period
of 1871. Contracts for the month
of September alone. III excess of
$33. 100000, were 70 per cent
greater. than in September, 194l.
Restrictions on government
building, just announced by
Donald Nelson, chairman of the
War Production Board, are not
expected to curtail construction
in Florida seriously. While 80
per cent of Florida's 1912 Cpn-
tracts have been for government
Work-rOadS. airpOrtS, bases, etc,
most are for military construction
of the first priority which VIII
not be cut draStically. There has
been almost no civilian Construc-
ton in Florida since early Spring.
Less than five per cent Of Septem-
Der awards were for private con-
struction and even this included
expansion of privately owned IN
dustrial and utility plants necessi-
tated by war work.
Material and labor shortages
and the need for speed in the con-
tinued expansion of the air forces,
as recently disclosed by Secretary
Stimson, have been responsible
largely for the new policy of the
armed services in leasing existing
housing and facilities - hotels,
auditoriums, etc. This policy has
resulted in the conversion to war
of a part of Florida's huge tourist
plant in certain sections OF the
state. Airports and other operat-
ing facilities must continue to be
largely new construction, how
ever and further expansion of
the building program IN FLORIDA
may be expected.
