PAUL GWYNN DiNEGRO

Italy had its Leonardo De Vinci,
Holland had Rembrandt, France
had her Renoir, while Key West
proudly claims her native son
Paul G.. Di Negro. Born and edu-
Gated in Key West, his forebeaTerS
have bestowed upon him a mix
ture of Scotch-IriSh, French, tia
Ian and Spanish. An inheritance
which might well be an ideal
foundation for artistic talent
When quite young he struck out
for himself and left Key West to
seek his way on the mainland
Alert and keen in observations,
Mr.. DiNegro mentally catalogued
the things he saw while spending
time in Pittsburgh, Youngstown,
Ohio; St. Louis, Baltimore, and
Norfolk, Va. Sketching scenes that
impressed him most, his list in
cludes coal muckers, steel mills,
boats, docks and pastoral scenery
Naturally. then, Di Negro knows
exactly what he wants to do in
depicting his version of the Am
erican scene. Mr.. Di Negro stands
by himself with his emotional
comprehension of color and de-
sign, and deep founded structural
technique.
Returning to Key West in 1920
TO tranSpOSe his ideas and sketches
on canvas, Mr.. Di Negro gained
art plauditS in art shows and gal
lerieS throughout the nation. He
gained artists aCclaims for his
mural on the wall of the Key West
Art Center, a X 8 scene of Key
Vests shoreline. A tropical COM
position showing large crotons in
the foreground, a cOcoanut palm
in the midgrOund and the ocean
beach and cabanas in the back
ground.
A master of lush, vivid tropical
land and Seascapes, Mr.. Di NegrO's
studio is filled with colorful paint
ingS that have won him much
praise at art exhibitions. He has
successfully hung paintings al

A square tower surrounded by
galleries and classmates. The
original entrance was by a bridge
from the top of the ramparts.
Construction of this tower, one of
the finest Notifications in the
country, was begun at the out
break of the Civil War. The brick
work, particularly the valuting
in the tower and the galleries, is
noteworthy. Four heavy guns
were mounted on granite bases
On top of the tower, with smaller
guns in the slate paved case
mates. The fortification is so de-
signed that if an enemy gained
access to the central tower over
the ramparts, the garrison could
reach the galleries through the
tunnel and engage the enemy in
the tower by firing through the
rifle Sits in the interior wall
East and West Martello Towers
were designed as outworkS of old

TURTLE CRAWLS

On this pier is the only canning
factory for green turtle soup in
the country. Willy turtle, weigh
ing as much as 400 pounds, are
captured with nets in the waters
off the Keys near the coast. of
Nicaragua. They are brought here
by schooner five times a year,
their flippers fastened with thatch
palm strands, and slid into the
three crawls, where, swimming
about, they are fascinating sub
jects. They rise to breathe every
few minutes. The turtle steak is
shipped over the country as far
north as New York City. Soup
is made of the gelatinous por-
tions of the turtle. The shell is
saved for ornamental purposes.

CITIZENS MEMORIALS

One point which has been men
toned often is the fact that no
rich man of Key West has ever
left memorial to himself and his
family and given this memorial to
the city and citizens of Key West.
At Bayview Park there is a mon
ument to soldiers and sailors of
World War l, there is another to
Jose Marti, the Cuban patriot,
but all, as far as 1 know, are city
constructed. SOmeday l would
like to see some of the Weather
people of the city build, say an
auditorium, an athletic club, a
public library and give this in
their name for the use of the citi-
zenS of Key West.

BALLPLAYER BROOKS,

One of the great ballplayers of
old Key West days is a big color
ed player named Brooks. He was
in town the other day Brooks
was so tough that he often
caught ball games with bare hands
behind the plate and when you
consider that the siX-ounce base
ball is hard as a rock and when
thrown from pitchers distance
packs a wallop, your eyebrows
should lift. Brooks was principally
known as a pitcher and is now
managing a colored baseball team
which tours the country. Brooks
was considered big league mate
rial.

THINK CAREFULLY

One of the big considerations in
electric company rate-lowering
will be the consideration of what
the city will be like a few years
from now. If Key West suddenly
grows, why we will be caught
short just as Havana now is with
its small diameter city water
pipelines and its suddenly in
creased population. The future
population of Key West and the
future electrical demands must be
carefully determined before any
lowering of rates can be made.
Another thing is the installation
of the new engine and the re-
vamping of electrical lines over
the city to carry the load. Finally,
this leaves US up to the question
of what will happen when the
load is allowed to increase with
the new equipment. Should prof
its be cut down then and passed
on to the people and should the
extra profits thus resulting be ap-
piled to the city's electric system
bonds and retire them that much
earlier and save the city thousands
of dollars in all-consuming inter
est? These are questions for the
best financial minds of the city to
decide and they should be care
fully and courageous decided.
