TALLAHASSEE. Fla. Aug. 25
The average weekly number OF
Florida recipients for unemploy-
ment compensation was 2l,257
during last month, the highest
since August. 1910, when the

to 390,952 in the last year. Popu-

Although there was little diff

that wages. are higher.

Bv BILL LEE

This is the saga of Bill Hoffman
and his search for health, warmth
and friendship. 1t is the story OF
how he is finding all three in the
Island City of Key West.
Bill Hoffman is totally dis
abled veteran, but the cheerful
grin and bright outlook he poses
SEES bellies the suffering of his pain
wracked body.
Though totally disabled, Bill
Hoffman is determined to care
for his wife and 6-year-old daugh-
ter and give them an adequate
place to live. A great part of his
problem was solved when the
announcement came through re-
Gently that VA-FHA loans for
veterans, homes in Key West had
been approved.
Bill lost no time taking adj
vantage of the CT deal, and was
the first veteran to apply for a
home loan. His house will be
ready in a few weeks, when Sun
shine Construction Co. completes
it at 2415 Flagler avenue.
Warmth is something Bill Hoff-
man must have. He suffers from a
Gripping injury and the sunshine
of this island is blessing.
But there is another warmth
that Bill has found here that is
equally important. That is the
warmth of human kindness and
the acceptance he has received
here.
He says he spent time in Palm
Springs, Hot Springs, Miami and
many other famed resort places,
but in none of them has he re-
ceived treatment as a normal,
everyday American as he has
here.
