every weekday there are
from a dozen to 300 bathers at
South Beach" Turner said. On
Sundays abe number goes up
from 800 to 1000. This is too
crowded"
Turner said the Sun and Sand
Club has a fine dock which the
city beach should have. For all
property taken by the city, he
said, adequate compensation
would be given the owners, plus
reasonable interest on their in
vestment for past years.
He said he did not think it
would be necessary to take over
the South Beach Motel property
on Simonton Street since it is
not on the waterfront. Turner
would, however, eliminate Sim
onton Street near the waterfront
and extend the beach from DuVal
Street to the east end of the
present Sun and Sand Club.
Turner lived here from 1888
to l94l and returned here IN
l945.

Retired Businessman Offers Plan
For Low-Cost lOOO-Ft. CITY Beach

Matthias Turner of 704 Will
lam Street a retired business
man, walked into the Citizen Of
flee the other day and offered a
plan designed to give Key West
a sandy beach some 1000 feet in
length.
"The city could have this beach
for only a fraction of the $3.50
900 which the county is spending
to construct an artificial beach, J"
Turner commented.
Deity he sketched his plan
He would start with the present
South Beach, which extends
about 800 yards to the east from
the foot of Duval Street and then
more than triple its length by
condemning and taking the prop
erty beyond.
This property consists of the
South Beach Restaurant at the
south end of Simonton Street and
the Sun and Sand Club just
across Simonton. Total cost, he
estimated. would be much less
than 100000. He would tear
the restaurant down to permit
construction of the beach, Turn
er said.

Attendance Limited For
Orchestra Performance

will hear a concert by the North
Carolina Symphony orchestra
Thursday afternoon at 3:15.
An evening performance for the
general public takes place in the
high school at $3.50 o'clock.
Highlighting the concert will be
the appearance Of Jane Winfield.
12-year old Washington, N. C..
pianist, who will play the first
movement Of Mozart's "Coro-
nation" piano concerto.
Officials connected with the pro-
gram explained that the concerts.
originally planned to be held in
Legion Stadium, were moved to
the high school because Of diff
culties in Miss Winfield's being
able to play in the stadium.
Adverse weather conditions also
aided in the decision to move the
site Of the concert, officials said.
Since the number of school
children attending the free after
noon concert is necessarily small,
a set number of students from
each of the city's Is elementary
schools will comprise the concert
audience.
Ticket sales for the evening
concert, on sale at Yopps Piano
and The Jewel Box, were noted
as moderate. However, it was ex.
planned that increases in the mum
Der of tickets sold would proba-
bly, be apparent as soon as the
weather clears. Last years con.
cert was a sellout.
Wilmington high school children
wishing 10 attend the evening con-
cert may obtain tickets for the
event at reduced prices.
