NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. g.
R.-Two New York stage fig
ures, dar c~r Paul Draper and
harmonica player Larry Adler,
are suing Connecticut woman,
Mrs. Hester Mccullough of Green
witch, for libel and claiming $780,

and Adler announced they had
withdrawn attachments on Mrs.
McCullough's bank account and
real estate.
Mrs. Mccullough had COM
planned the attachments hamper
ed her preparation for defense of
the Draper and Adler charges,
that she falsely called them Com

they had withdrawn the attach

to counterfeit what they called
widespread misinformation con-
corning the attachments, which
are permissible under Connect

More About Shrimn
BY JACK DELANEY. Fishing Editor

/ More About Shrimp
With more and more shrimp
boats coming to the city daily,
Key West is practically assured
of new industry for period of
from five to ten years, if present
estimates are correct. What this
can mean to the city in the line
of new revenue can hardly be
appreciated, but an estimated
payroll of $4,000 per week, is
not to be sneezed at, especially in
city the size of Key West.
additional Families
1t will mean that eventually
additional families will be Ioca-
ted here, all of whom will have
10 have place to live, buy gro
ceries, clothes, etc. And to a city
like Key West that must of ne
cessity depend on Naval activi-
ties in the area. any industry is
boon to the locality.
Plan Trip To Beds
l do not know if the arrange
ments can be made or not, but /
am going to try in the very near
future to make a trip to the
shrimping grounds and see the
operation first hand. If l do l
shall be gone for about three
days, but will guarantee you all
information possible on my re-
turn. Pm willing to go now if l
can only find some captain who
will tolerate me for the trip, I'll
be off.

Monarchs to Meet Bellefontaine
Here Friday in Season S Finale

Der, 1948, in the second game of
last season. The Scotties edged
the locals 27-25 in this meeting.
Marysville, of course, will be out
to extend that mark Friday.
This will also be the locals last
game before the district tourna-
ment at WeSterville. 1t will mean
the difference between going in
to the district with 15-game
winning streak or an excellent
1872 record, both losses to class
"a" teams, should Bellefontaine
take this final contest. A win
Friday would give Coach Widner
a record of 80 wins out of l08
games in five years at Marysville.
Bill Boyd, ace Marysville de-
fensive man, will definitely not
dress for this contest. Bill has
been suffering from a case of
flue this week and will not be
able to practice until next Mon
day. Smedley Hendricks will
probably take his place on the
starting lineup.
