WHAT IS "HoNKY ToNK"?

Editor, The Citizen:
The Coral Rockets call for an
answer, and here 1 am back again.
As for the tall gentleman's re-
mark: Nothing is more hOnky
tonk than all the buses and ma
chineshop at South Beach. Who
is responsible for that?
Another disgrace is all the
chickenfarms in Key West proper
Now that farm land is added to
the city there should be poSsibili
ties for that kind of dreamer.
Is it necessary to have a gro
Gerry store on every corner, a lum-
beryard every five blocks, bottling
plants scattered here and there,
unsightly dry-cleaning stores or
other honky-tonk shops that
should be where the junk yard
is located.

The most thrilling game yet
scheduled will be played on Xmas

the Trojans. There has always
been rivalry between these two
ball clubs which would make this
game a most interesting and ex-
