Describes "Jamboree"
That evening the local band
was having a jamboree on the
street that attracted d large
crowd. A guy with a megaphone
was eXhorting the assembled null
titude to buy chances on a new
automobile, the proceeds from
the sale to purchase uniforms for
the band boys.
Three picture theaters were
noted on Duval Street, one of
them evidently catering to the
Cuban population, the billboards
portraying a thriller with scream
ing headlines in Spanish which
was all Greek to me. Sandwich
ed in here and there between
archaic buildings are fine mod
ern stores. An immense army,
navy and coast guard personnel
seems to keep them all busy and
is evidently the greatest CONNER
cial asset of the town.
The city of Key West is laid out
on a bias to cardinal points of

toned mooringS. 1t is only when
you get back to the mainland
where streets usually run east
and west or north and south that
you get oriented once more and
