Well Carnival is over but there
are always those last minute notes.
Unfortunately, the list of names of
all of the workers was not COM
plete when you wrote the publi-
city for the booth. My apologies to
those workers whose names were
omitted. To all workers, donators
of baked goods and to those folks
outside the club who gave so gen.
erousIy many thanks for a job
well done. We went over the top
this year!
Did you know that Mrs. Irving
T. Duke received the sewing
machine? The Martin permanent
wave went to Mrs. r. F.. Lyons
Of the VX-1 Group. Understand
that Mrs. Lyons did not need a
permanent - so presto = Mar
tins are allowing her equal value
in hairdos, etc. People down here
do so many nice things!
Friday and Saturday nights do
nations in baked goods from the
La Concha and Casa Marina were
sold in little different style and
SO the booth profited. A beautiful
pie from La Concha graced the
shelves on FRIDAY night. Did your
get a glimpse or maybe "a bit of
the extra special cake the Casa
Marina sent on Saturday? George
Hanskat was the lucky man to
own that cake! A cheer to Betty
Boyd who went out and made ar
rangements for getting these
things.
A line from my xii cores
pendent tells me that Betty Bal
lou was here to visit the luncheon

hours at the carnival, relaxed that

FISHERMAN PROTESTS

FISHERMAN PROTESTS
Editor, The Citizen:
So this is Key West, Fla, the
southernmost city in the United
States, where real southern hos.
pitality should be at its best.
Along with the best Of most every.
thing else, Key West Is widely
noted for its wonderful year round
fishing, so ably attested to By
those illustrous fishermen. Roose-
welt and Truman.
But woe betide the poor sports
fisherman who comes to Key West
with the idea of catching some Of
his favorite denizens Of the deep
and shipping some home to be en-
joyed with friends at q later date
when he would probably get big
thrill out Of telling how much
trouble this one gave him and how
much kick he was getting out Of
eating same.
In almost any civilized spot IN
the World today this would pro-
badly be true, but not 30 in Key
West, Fla.
Oh. no, here is this wonderfully
enlightened city the poor fisher
man is told after he returns to the
docks with his hard earned and
well paid for fish, that these fish
which he had to work 20 hard to
catch and which cost him 30 many
hard cared dollars, do not be.
long to him but to the Captain Of
the Boat, but the Captain may
decide to let you have . few to
do with as you please Il he %
desires.
This, mind you, AFTER you have
paid sixty dollars per day On the
bare chance that you may catch
a fish, or you may catch nothing
more than q bad case Of Fla. SUM-
burn, which happens quits ne
quently am told.
Imagine, Il you can 4 man and
wife who are ardent fishermen,
saving their spare money BY cut
ting corners on the budget, etc.
wherever possible In order 10 be
able TO make the trip to Key West
10 enjoy some Of the wonderful
fishing, and then after paying The
sixty dollar daily rate on 3 charter
boat and catching Z grand total Of
eighteen KinEfish whose food value

ing that mentioned budget, 10 be
told that those fizh, even though
you paid for the boat and actually
caught them, did not belong 10

let you know In no uncertain
terms that he intended to sell
them at q mentioned price Of
about eight cents per pound. tConi-
mercial fishermen whose hveli-
hood depends on the market,
please note.)
It certainly seems great shame
70 the undersigned that . slimy

Of some Of your so-caIled Captains
