Colored People Ask
For O,pn Thp0fpr

A petition containing l16 names
has been signed by the colored
citizens of Key West asking that
AriStides Castro be allowed to
erect moving picture theater
at sos Emma street with a seat
ing capacity of from $50 to 500.
The latter figure would be the
capacity should a balcony be con-
structed.
Aristides Castro said today
that with nearly 5000 colored
people in Key West, they are
without theater of their own.
This petition, which Castro pre-
diets will contain a large portion
of the colored population of Key
West, has just been started.
Over two months ago, Castro
asked the CPA for permission to
build the theater, and to date
approval has not been received.
He is of the opinion that this pc
ton, when filled with names and
forwarded to Washington, may
help to bring quicker action on
the part of CPA.

Florida Boys State is an effort
on the part of the American Le-
gion to bring to the boys of Flor
ida a knowledge of the funda-
mental principles of American
government through actual prac-
tices in the duties of city, county
and state offices for the period of
Boys State.
The program is entirely nom
partisan and is not military in any
sense. Consideration of govern
mental problems will be free
from propaganda. The program
Is designed to teach boys that
there is nothing fundamentally
wrong with the American form
of government; that it has not
outlived its usefulness: that what
it demands Is an intelligent citi-
zenry, and a clean, honest, i'm
partial administration.
Each boy will have a chance
to learn for himself that govern
ment is just what he makes it.
Recreational and sightseeing
activities are included in the pro-
gram for the week. Approx
mately 800 boys from all parts OF
the state will attend the session.
