Plan Sale of Army and
Navy Building Supplies

WASHINGTON. - The Recon-
struction Finance corp. announced
recently that it would conduct a Sc
ries of sales of building materials
at Port Hueneme, Calf, in the near
future.
The actual date of the first sale

nounced later.
The sales will be that part of the
materials and equipment which
have not already been sold locally.
The sales are part of the plan to
carry out recommendations made
by John w. Snyder, reconvers1on di-
rector, that surplus army and navy
building supplies be made available
for commercial, private and veter-
ans construction.
About 80 per cent of the mate
rails will be reserved for priority
holders and veterans preference
with the balance to be channeled
into housing with veterans housing
projects getting the first claim to
the materials.

Travel Around
World Predicted Soon

NEW YORK.-Business men will
soon have an opportunity to buy
tickets for a 30-day contact trip
around the world by air as well
as weekend jaunts to London and
Paris, it was revealed.
1T is obvious that these business
trips will be available within the
next IL months, we'll ahead of ordi-
nary pleasure travel" A. L.. Sim
mons, first vice president of the
American Society of Travel Agents,
said in a speech to 500 travel agents
at the associations 18th annual con
vention in this city.
On a weekend trip it will be pos
sible, he said, to leave New York

ming in Amsterdam or Brussels, pass
Sunday in Paris and catch the night
plane back to New York for bust
ness Monday morning.

comfort as on a trip of similar
duration in America, Mr.. Simmons
asserted.
America is destined to become
the mecca and gateway from every
of the earth," he told the
gathering.

Washing WOOlenS

Don't spare the soap when it's
time to wash your best wooden blan-
kets and sweaters, textile chemists
say. Too many people think they've
got enough soap just as soon as they
work up suds, but woolens, especial
ly if they're badly soiled, require an
extra heavy concentration. To insure
true cleanliness, an unce of mild
soap flakes or powder to a gallon of
water is recommended. Other sug-
gestions are that the article be
soaked and gently squeezed through
the soap solution, that it never be
crowded in a machine nor subjected
to extreme agitation, and that it be
thoroughly rinsed in clear, luke
warm water.

Personal Notes

Here is a hard working little
lady whose efforts have not gone
without reward in Parent Teach
er Association appreciation. She
is MRS. MYRTLAND GATES
who is president of the Junior
Senior PTA. Mrs. Gates is pres
dent of the association for the
second time. The members asked
her to again lead for the second
time because of the good job she
had done during her first pres
dency. A little reticent to come
out again and take the job which
includes much work, because of
her health at this time, Mrs. Gates
nevertheless decided to take the:
presidency again.

Key West has long been known
as a CLUB AND LODGE town.
The people dearly love to enter
tain in these clubs and to meet
their friends in socials and bridge
parties. There are few invita-
lions among friends to dinner
this being restricted mostly to
family invitations, but when it
comes to card parties and lodge
meetings and club meetings and
benefit food sales, Key Westars
are extremely active. Most Of the
dancing, however is left up to the
younger set.

long list Of grievances.
For a long time the attention Of
the company either directly Or IN
directly has been called 70 the i'm
adequate wage scale paid Liberian
employees but no reaction has ever
been forthcoming. The demands
brought forward are:
1. Revision or wages: the con-
tention in this is that the present
inequality existing il the Wage
scale OF the local clerical and tech
nical members of the staff as COM
pared with Americans and foreign
ers from other countries should not
exist beyond 20 per cent allowance
for overseas services, and an adjust
