hArY would have liked to sleep in Cleve's
bed, to caress his little collection of silver
loving cups, to hang her dresses in the closet
- empty now - where Cleve had hung his
things ever since he had been little boy
to live with the bright, gay prints he had
bought and hung on the walls Of his room.
But Mrs Logan only paused in the door

1t was like something familiar -
but at second hand.
The train was slowing down for the town.
1t ratified frostily over trestle, and Katy
saw the bend in the little stream - Hunters
Creek - and the pool which had been Cleve's
old swimmin' hole. The ancient sycamore still
leaned far out over the pool, SCARED by the
generations of kids that had used it as sort
of diving board. The pool was black, rough
ice now, laced with thin fall of snow -
enough to make it white Christmas - but
Katy could see the glare of summer sun on
open water, the greenish shadows along the
shore, sleek heads bobbing there, and thin,
wet brown arm lifted in greeting to the train.

thought bathing trunks were sissy; mainly
because our dads hadn't worn EN- when they
went swimmin' there as kids. 1t was sont of
tradition. And we'd always wave to the peo-
pie on the trains. Queer how kids wave at

lArY looked back, keeping the old SWIM

Travel, adventure, the far places, change.
All the things kids dream about. Well Cleve
was having all his boyhood dreams fulfilled
now. Palms, coral islands, the jungle - and
little yellow men with death in their hands
and hatred in their hearts.
Katy shuddered, and put such thoughts
out of her mind. The day before Christmas
was not the time, nor was this the place for
them - if there ever was proper time and
a place for such thoughts

1T was the worst looking car in town, bar

FOLLOWING THROUGH
BIG GAME SET FOR
JULY 4TH

Key Vests great ballplayer
and friend, William (Butch)
Gates, is back after a couple of
games in Miami and after re-
vamping the Pan-American nine,
which team he went to the
Magic City to manage.
Gates brought back Jackie
(T-Boney) Carbonell another
local boy who made good with
Pan-American. They put pep in
the club and the fans up there
hated to see these boys leave,
but Uncle Sam claimed them
and said he needed them down
here on national defense and
so they had to come back.
Gates now is interested in the
big All-Star game to be played
July 4th in the new stadium on
Flagler Avenue. He is getting
his boys together and with a
few workouts he will be ready
to meet the All-Service baseball
stars.
Gates has such players to pick
from as: Esmond (Tarzan) Al
bury, to catch; Julio Barcelo, to
play first; Gates can cover sec
ond; Jackie Carbonell, third
base; Armando Acevedo, the one
and only at short; Cyril Griffin.
leftfield; Philip (Cheta) Baker,
centerfield, and one of the fol-
lowing in right: M. Acevedo, c..
Rubberman) Garcia Mario Her
nandez, Castellano and others.
Another good combination
would be to have Cyril Griffin
behind the plate and Esmond
Albury cover the hot corner,
sending Carbonell to the out :
field.
Philip Baker has been tie
best lead-off man in Key West
for many years. He is a hard
batter to pitch to and is fast. A.
Acevedo in second place cam
not be beat. He can advance a
runner and is also fast. Bill
Gates would be the third man
up, followed by Esmond Albury
in the cleanup position. Botn
are dangerous sluggers. Griffin
could be fifth. He's old now
but is brainy player and a
dangerous hitter in tough spots.
Julio Barcelo would be sixth and
Carbonell in seventh place. The
rightfielder would bat in the
eighth spot and the pitch last.
Today the only pitcher in
condition is Salinero of the Pr
rates. He has been warming up
the past month and claims his
arm is fit as fiddle. Robert
Bethel of the Conchs will not
take long to get in shape, nor
will M. Sanchez, Puby Carbonell,
Joe Casa and other moundsmen
now in the city. However, at
present, Salinero tops them all.
If these boys get together we
can have very good club on
the field, and if Mario Pena
gets in shape we can have a
real outfit Then Jackie Car
bonell, .Barcelo and Baker would
be the three men in the gardens.
They are all ball hawks.
Pena, Gates, Albury and Ace
vedo would form the infield.
What more could we ask?
Fans VIII remember the old
days when this combination
clicked SO well. Ask Miami
clubs, they know. Old Man Grit
fin behind the plate could han
die any pitcher. He played
against service clubs in World
War ] at the corner of White
and Flagler streets when a
ball park was located there. And
he is still going strong.
The writer believes the great
est worry Gates will have will
be material for the mound. II
the boys come out and practice
he will have at least three good
pitchers in shape for the big
game-Carbdnell, Salinero and
Bethel.
We hope the boys will take an
interest and practice each after
noon from to o'clock.

Madame Perkins Sends
Message TO Local Women

Sixteen million women are now
working for total victory in the
American labor force, Secretary of
Labor Frances Perkins said today
in message to Waterbury women's
groups interested in the 25th an
nlVersary of the Departments Wo-
mems Bureau next Thursday.
GAS the war lengthens and our
manpower problem becomes more
acute, We are increasingly aware
of the Importance of the woman
worker in our economic life," Miss
Perkins said. War work no longer
has the narrow meaning which
many persons inferred not so long
ago. Today the woman clerk in
your grocery, who perhaps hasn't
worked outside her home in 20
years, is as much a vital war work.
er as the girl who rivets sheet metal
in an aircraft assembly plant. We
call the unromantic war jobs 'es-
sential civilian industries The
present chaotic state of the laun-
dry industry illustrates well just
how very necessary these mundane
jobs are to our entire war-gov-
erned way of life"
The secretary noted that although
the 16 million women in actual en-
ployment constitute an increase of
nearly 5 million over the 1910 total
there are still 100000 unemployed
women in the United States. Some
of these may be unemployable, she
said, or living in regions with a la
Dor surplus and not easily trans
ferrable to other sections of the
country.
THE scope with which woman
power is being applied in American
industry and commerce is shown in
the variety of jobs held for the
first time by women she said.
I'VE have women who scrape the
carbon from pipes in oil refineries-
a dirty job to say the least. We
have women who seal ton
rolls of paper in the pulp mills
a hard, painstaking job. We have
women who wash down locomotives,
women who drive buses, women who
operate foundry cranes, and women
who pilot tug boats.
I'VE can realize the extent Of this
expanded employment OF women
when a comparison is made
