pill fields of training twice, and

there is a shortage of skilled
workers.

Mrs. Eulalie
Jones Praised For
Service ToCity

In commenting today upon the
forthcoming loss of Mrs. Eulalie
Jones to the Truman School IA
Guilty. Superintendent Horace
O'Bryant stated tina Mrs. Jones
had given over a quarter of a
century of most excellent service
to the children of Key West.
One of her former pupils is
now a member of the County
School Board, and hundreds of
other pupils who came up under
her guidance have turned into
valuable citizens of the commun-
itv and the State. and have gone
on to prove that they are a cred
il to Mrs. Jones teaching.
Mrs. Jones has given fully and
freely of her time, even to the
extent of teaching when she pos
sibly should have been home re-
covering from illnesses. She is
considered one of our better
teachers. and her ability and her
unllageina zeal will indeed be
missed in the months to come.
The Board. the Superintendent
and the Principal of Truman
School ali feel that her departure
from the faculty will mean a
distinct loss to the school and to
education in general in Key West.
The teachers of Truman Ele-
ancrfarva School issued the fol-
lowing statement:
ii @RSts. Eulalie Jones, second
grade, teacher of Truman Eie-
,nentarv school. is retiring after
g26 5ca1k of service. Mrs. Jones
has been a tireless worker and
5f5slsdntribAted much toward the
education of the children OF hey
West She has given countess
hours of her time to them. She
viii be greatly missed not ohis
hv the children but also by her
co.workers. Therefore. we, the
teachers of Truman Elementary
school take this means OF saylns'
Thanks Mrs. Jones, for a loo
well done

Period For Payment
Of Benefits Would /
Be Retained

TALLAHASSEE, May 5.-(Pf
-Florida's top payment to Job.
less workers would rise S. a week
under a bill passed by the House
today.
1t would allow maximum un-
employment compensation bcne-
fits of $50 week. instead Of the
present sis.
The measure now goes to the
senate, where a similar propose,
Is on the calendar with commit.
TIC sanction.
As adopted by the House, tho
bill would increase only the maxi
mum benefit. The i6-Week maxi
mpm period for payment of behc-
fits in Tie present law would be
retained.
Neither would there be any
ci ange in the present schedule OF
payments TO those not eligible for
the maximum, either because they
haven't earned enough or worked
long enough to qualify for the top
benefits.
As approved by committee. the
House bill called for maximum
payments, of So week for a
period of 20 weeks. but the House
decided to go along with the $40
figure provided in the Senate bill.
The House defeated several at
tcmpts TO write into the bill a
higher schedule of payments over
a longer period of time, including
a proposal by Rep. Okell of Dade
county of $50 for 20 weeks. Okell
said this was urged by the AmCri-
can FEEDER alton of Labor.
The senate voted 27-6 to raise
the salaries to Supreme Court
Justices to $l2.500 and Circuit
Court Judges to SO. 500.
Justices now get $4,000 and
circuit judges $500. However,
many circuit jurists have their
pay supplemented by county
funds, and would continue to
have the extra county pay if the
bill becomes law.
The Senate voted TO have an
other committee study the bill
which would do away with the
State Beverage Department by
turning its functions over to the
Comptroller.
The Senate's government re-
organization committee already
has theobiH and has set a public
hearing on ii for $50 a. m. Mon
day. s4$f4tA } 4tS

ond committee. He said the gov7

tee called a meeting and was
ready to approve the measure
just few hours aftef it was in

He is the latest person to be

who have visited the Banks, Wal

what it's like" as mere fooltshness-
It's like nothing else in the world,
Wally insists. It's easier to de-
scribe the wel1-known hospitality
of the people, however: He testi-
fies, eve had twelve invitations
to dinner. And when we went out
to, the property to look it over, it
seemed like everybody down there
wanted to help us.
