MET TWO FORMER co-WoRK.
ERs. JOHN coSTAR AND
KINGMAN CURRY

Harold Colee, executive vice
president of the Florida State
Chamber of Commerce. who in
1917 resided in Key West and
was in charge of the Florida East
Coast Terminal here, had the
satisfaction of meeting with John
Costar and Kingman Curry, two
former co-workers of those days
at the Lions Club dinner-meeting
last evening.
Mr.. Colee spoke to the Lions
about the assets of the great state
Iof Florida, and the part that
Floridians played in this war. He
lsaid that we should be proud of
the fact that the State of Florida
was the third greatest purchaser
Iof War Bonds.
He named numerous Florida
heroes who distinguished them
selves in the war fronts, and gave
an outline of the numerous in
dustrial activities, in which Flor
ida engaged in war production.
He adds that Key Westers can be
justly proud that out of three
businesses in Florida, which have
been operating for more than 100
years continuously, one is the
William Curry Sons Co., in Key
West.
Mr.. Colee expressed great sat-
isfaction at the progress shown
in Key West since he last visited
here in 1885, and assured his
hearers that the Island City has
a very promising future, provid-
ed that the civic leaders of Key
West do not go to sleep on the
job.
Other guests of the club were
Arthur Curry, Wilbur Gates,
Stephen c. Singleton. Hugh w.
Cox, U. S. Navy; Bud Stanley, u.
S, Navy; Stanley Moylc, Flint,
Mich; Charles Paris, Shanes,
Oklahoma; Bill Schmidt, Relief

engagements for a smoker~to- be
given the patients of the Naval
Hospital on August %.

and was provided his meals
by the Baldwin family.
Despite his many hours
of work, he found time to

Peace-Time Goods To
Be Made Available As
Soon AS Practicable

Every resident of Key West
wants to know when he or she
will be able to buy new refrigerat-
ors, new electric irons, new auto
mobiles, new washing machines
all the items that have been hard
to get for four wartime years, -
Jack Sellers, chairman of the To-
cal rationing board, said today.
And they want to know how
much these goods are going to
cost when they are once more
available. OPA's aim in its reton-
version pricing program is to en-
able the manufacturer to make a
fair profit and at the same time to
see that the consumer pays a rea-
Sonable price" =
He emphasized that OPA's part
in reconversion was only to es-
tablish prices" Mr.. Sellers pointed
out that thee agency has nothing
to do with allocating materials.
S DO oOoii eiS tiIOSC lid lti Ids
are apportioned, and manufacture
ers are ready to resume turning
out peacc-timc goods, we will act
as speedily as possible and with
an absolute minimum of rcd tape
to help thcm," he declared. 'The
objective of OPA's reconversion
pricing program is to encourage
maximum production which in
turn will help assure maximum
employment"
Mr.. Sellers concluded, "The
best way to smother the flames
of initiation is to bury them under
an cver-incrcasing flow of fairly
priced civilian goods. "
