The beginnings of the church go
back to 1892 when a group of Epis-
copalians decided to build a church
in the present section. LIE Roy
Tuttle, who later became the first
treasurer and registrar of st. Mar
garet's church, went to a prominent
parishioner of Rock Creek Episcopal
Church and obtained a $3.50 check
toward building fund.
In addition to Mr.. Tuttle four
other men comprised a committee
for the new church. These men,
who later formed the original YES
try. were George Truesdall, Robert
j. Fisher, James B. Winner and Law
renee Sands. After several months
they raised $4,000 for a building.
Early places where religious serv-
ices were held included the home
of Miss Sophy Louise Little and that
of the Baldwin family on Nineteenth
street and Belmont road NV, where
a Catholic social service school is
now located.
In 1894 Mr.. Howell moved to the
community and became interested
in the plans for a church there.
Meetings were held in his home at
1929 New Hampshire avenue NV,
among other places. During the
year the group became a mission of
Rock Creek Church, which church
loaned the mission money to pur-
chase property at Connecticut ave-

the original church was enlarged
three times, the parish house was
built in 1913 and overall improve
ments made in 1921. The church
debt and that for the parish house
amounting to 100000, was liqui-
dated. On May 81, 1911, the church
was consecrated by the late Rt. Rev
Alfred Harding, Bishop of Washing
ton.
An interesting occurrence during
his ministry was Mr.. Smiths officiat-
ing at the marriage of President
Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Edith

TOURIST CROP

The best guess right now for

per crop, heavy industry or what
have you is the tourist trade. A
concerted project, host, publicity
and advertising program must
be undertaken to bring them
down from other cities in South
Florida. This is Key Vests near
est opportunity. When will we
get going on it. Two bright spots
in the past year which have the
makings are $500 of Miami news

brought many to Key West,

have accomplished much. Dur
ing the first Florida boom there
was the magnificent Roosevelt
Boulevard around the city, Bay
view Park, the start of the road
to the mainland which were
worthy public works projects. We
have never brought any real in
dustry into Key West. Some say
we cannot because of transpor-
tation problems. Yet in transpor-
tation and freight we see new
plans ahead. The ferry company
is d step in that direction, there
is at least one other Latin
freight system planned for the
city. Long before he put the F.
E. c. in Flagler saw arteries of
commerce coming through Key
West from the Latin American
countries. 1t remains to be seen
if these dreams will come
through again.

Then In 1887 were completed
The highway water gap bridges.
This gave Key West a complete
motor highway to Miami with
the water gap bridges and road
ways beautiful and modern and
the rest OF the road still quite
bnmpy. Finally during the war
they tell me the military high
way was put through eliminat-
ING miles Of twisting roadway
and Key West had a wonderful,
extremely good motor highway
10 the mainland. Well, the winter
Of l9S7-3e was good. Many in
vestors then decided to come on
down 10 the city. The winter of
1889 was not such a good sea-
son and many investors were
disappointed. The winter of
l9ss-40 and the following sum-
ger were very good and Key
West seemed well on its way to
being a real tourist town. At
That time there was little Navy
hre, there being a neutrality pa
trol of destroyers and planes
which did not bring many to
Key West. Yet Key West pros
pered, apartment buildings went
up, new nice restaurants opened
and many gift shops sprang up.
The navy Is an important adjuct
here. The estimate is around 81
900 persons employed in Naval
groups here. That is the real
prosperity Key West is exper-
fencing now. But If Key West
does have to so back to tourist
days II will not be too great a
detriment. The mistake most new
comers make is thinking that Key

Compulsory Arbitration Hit
 By Both Industry and Labor

x Whatever else they may differ on, industry and labor see eye to eye in opposition to compulsory ar- bitration.
 That was made clear this week at meeting of union and manage ment representatives composing an advisory committee to the U. s. Consolidation Service.
 Edgar L. Warren, chief of the Service, told newsmen the com mittee had voted solidly against compulsory arbitration and favored instead attempts to work out, on a voluntary basis, the necessary procedures for handling labor dis putes."
 Also, the two sides agreed that "fact-finding" boards are no pan acea" for industrial ills, and that in general the use of such boards in major disputes this year was none too successful.
 Warren himself added a signifi- cant note of his own-namely, that labor disputes won't be automati- cally eliminated by legislation in Congress.
 ---- Industrial peace cannot be es- tabliShed by edict from Washing tOn," he warned.

ViOlatOrS Said to Include Judge,
 Mayor and County Com miSSiOnerS

Everybody's doing it, apparently. Now the War Assets Administra- ton complains that some state. county and local officials in the South and mid-East have used sur plus property priorities for their own enrichment.
 Violators are said to include a judge, a mayor and a board of county commissioners. More than 38 cases have been turned over to the Department of Justice and several cases have been passed along to United States attorneys for prosecution.
 Under the Surplus Property Act state, county and local govern ments are given preferential treat ment in obtaining surplus goods. but with the condition that they are for official use.

 He made the sensational charge that the Communists, in addition to their usual ex- ternaI sources of finance (frOm Russia), were reported to have seized nine billion francs from French banks in the period of confusion and chaos after lib- eratiOn."
 Political Terror
 Thereafter, purge" of collabor- ators started, but the Communists used the purge" Brown said, as "an instrument of political terror to smear and destroy all progress sive elements in the unions who opposed Communist domination" " AS a result, many trade union leaders who were not Reds" were busted.
 Opponents of Communism are rallying again in the French un- ions, Brown added. If they should win out, France will stay in the democratic fold, but if they fail, he warned, Communists may mount to power,
 Then France, and perhaps all of Europe 'may be lost to democracy" Brown declared.

of NO CONTRACT-NO WORK, finds little sympathy amongst the general run of New Londonites who through the years have maintained a lukewarm interest in Labor Un- ions and have been only too happy to maintain the VACATION LAND NINE MONTHS BLACK OUT STATUS for New London.
 The second conference that the Union Committee held with the Spencer Corporation in New York City gave little comfort to the membership, in fact it established definite LOCKOUT decree by the Corporation, inasmuchas MT. Spencer declared that There is nothing that I can do. The Yer mont Central Railroad will not pay the 10% increase, offered by the Corporation, under any circum- stances" He further declared that the raise must be absorbed by the Central Vermont Railroad and that they wished to survey and study the situation in order to determine as to whether or not they would discontinue the line.
 The ILA immediately treated this matter as definite LOCKOUT and appealed for unemployment benefits for their membership through individual forms that had to filled out. Appeals were made to Frank Shea, temporary unem- ployment commissioner in the local picture and Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse was requested to inter- cede for the workingmen through MT. William Fitzgerald, who is working in temporary state head capacity for Deputy Labor Com- missioner Ennis.
 If the appeal is denied, the Un- ion can appeal the decision within seven days and it is expected can appeal collectively for their mem- berShip.
 The majority of the Longshore- men who before the Union was or ganized worked for as low wage as 51c an hour, have had little op- portunity to build up personal re- serves or war bond pools to take care of their needs. The majority of their membership are men over fifty and some over seventy years of age. The average wage during war years was only 95c an hour. The Union succeeded in bringing their wages up from 51c an hour to the last contract that brought the men $1.1O, and the prospects ahead if the 1O% increase is granted will bring them up to . rate of $1.21.
 Now that the USES offices have been turned back to the State the National Labor situation will not enter into any decisions that are handed down by our State Board of Mediation and Arbitration. The still unsettled coal mines situation however, is apt to opinionate local decisions in any state.
 The New London Central Labor Union at it's November meeting voted unanimously to declare the Spencer Corporation area of the State Pier out of bounds. The Teamsters L-493, Secretary-treas- urer and business agent, Edward Rice, who is also president of the New London C.L.U. received ot- ficia1 notification of this move.
