Miss Marie CaPpick Relates Lore
Of Key Vest And Of EUents, People
Who We're A Part Of Key Vests Past

porter is evidenced In the classic
interviews with world reknown per-
|sonalities that she wrote from VIII
liam Howard Taft to the late Pre-
sident Franklin D. Roosevelt. She
turned from reporting to fiction
and wrote several novels based
upon the pirate lore of the Florida
Keys in collaboration with George
Allen England. She studied fiction
with John Galishaw, former dean
of English at Harvard College.
Educated at the Holy Name Con.
vent in Key West and studying
later with the French Order of the
Usulines in New Orleans, Marie
Cappick's literary talent was rec
ognized and she was awarded a
two year scholarship to the Flori-
da State College for Women.
Though the abiding interest in
her life has been writing poetry of
the land and people of the Florida
Keys Miss Cappick began what
was to be a lifetime work of COM
piling and collecting a complete
and detailed account of Key West
history.
Judge Jefferson Browne had
completed his volume on Key West
but felt there were gaps in it and
portions that required considerable
expansion. AS he was walking down
Duval Street one afternoon. he
met Miss cappick whose writing he
admired and they fell into CONVEX
sation. Upon parting. Judge Browne
asked Marie Cappick to write the
Key West History in full, saying
that she was the only one with
the background, patience and skill
required for the undertaking.
She collected material over the
years, and her long manuscript is
filled with the anecdotal material
that makes history come alive. 1t
is documented with the thorough.
ness acquired through her news
paper training and is written with
the sense of drama and poetry in
her later works.
1t can almost be said that Miss
Cappick is Key West. Aside from
her deep personal interest in the
city Of her birth, it has been the
home of her family for over one
hundred years when her maternal
grandmother arrived here, widow
ed after yellow fever had swept
the ship in which she crossed the
Atlantic from ireland.
1t was quite by accident that
Miss Cappick's family came to Key
West at all, as the ship her grand
parents embarked in had Charles
ton for its destination, but, in the
same way that many old Key West
families had their origins, the ship
was blown off course in a severe
storm and finally dropped anchor
at the little known harbor of Key
West.
AS Marie Cappick grew up. she
recalls the isolation of this island
from ne rest of the world. They
received their mail by sea once a
month # the mail boat was not
becalmed out beyond the Florida
Reef. She wrote of one of these
still evenings in her poem Sum
mer Night" which tells of a scene
along the Key West shore in its
lines:
THE stars hang over a coconut
tree
On the tip of a new born moon:
The south wind harps a melody
AS bright as a gold doubloon.
For many years Miss Cappick

He has been executive director
of the committee on Unity for
Palestine of the Zionist Organiza-
ton of America, and has travel
led widely in this. country and
abroad. In 1851, while on a trip
to Europe and Israel, he estab-
lished the new Hillel Foundation
at the Hebrew University in Jeru-
salem.
! During the program, traditional
Jewish music was presented by
Cantor Abraham Marion and the
Jacksonville wish Center
j Choral Society.
Professor Samuel Proctor of the
University of Florida was chair
man of the program.
. The Hillel Foundation first
came to the University in 1899,
and has showed a steady climb.
AT that time there were only $50
Jewish students, as compared
with the better than 800 the new
house will serve. Meetings were
held in a small apartment near
the campus.
Coming into its own in 1941 as
a full Foundation, Hillel pur-
chased a building site in 1916 and
moved a temporary frame struc-
ture onto the lot.
Construction of the new Hillel
House was planned for many
years, and finally begun last year.
The permanent home of the
Hillel Foundation on the campus
the University is of modern
'eSign, with student lounge,
two offices, a combined chapel
and social room, and kitchen on
the first floor. The second floor
contains library and lodge meet
ing room.
The Hillel Foundations were
launched in 1923 at the Univer-
Sity of Illinois. In 1925 growth
was accelerated when B'nai Birth
began sponsoring the program.
Directed by group of Rabbis
and lay people, the aim of Hillel
has been to deepen for college
students their knowledge of Jew
ish life, and to strengthen their
Identification with the great re-
ligious and cultural values of the
Jewish heritage It also seeks to
coordinate the values of Jewish
religious and historic experiences
with the finest values in Ameri-
can democracy. The programs in
clude both the religious and So
cial facets of life.
There are now 2O7 Hillel Foun-
dations in the United States, Can
ada, and Israel.

New Attack On
Taft-Hartley Law

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, R - The
American Federation of Labor to-
day was prepared to launch a
new and specialized attack on the
Taft-Hartley labor law expected
to focus on 10 or 20 major points.
AFL action will follow a state
ment issued yesterday by the Clio
executive board in Washington
criticizing changes proposed by
Sen. Taft in the Taft-Hartley law
The CIO said the changes fall
short of 'The standard of JUS
tice and fairness to labor pro-
missed by President Eisenhower"
and characterized them as "petty
liberalizations coupled with
new anti-union restrictions"
A special committee Of top
AFL leaders has been studying
the question for weeks. It's report,
based in part on answers from
presidents Of unions affiliated
with the AFL, is reported ready
for study by the AFL executive
council.
1t was doubtful whether the
council, headed by ALL president
George Meany, would publicize
at this time the amendments
which the committee thinks
should be the minimum target for

17-Year-Old Survives
Eight Hours Buried
In Snow Avalanche

SEATTLE, B - 81 just kept
praying" said 17-year-old Larry
Schinke Of his eight hours spent
buried in a Cascade mountain
avalanche "And guess it
worked"
Schinke was one of three Seat
tie boys, all II, caught in the
tons of snow that rumbled down
a steep gully Saturday afternoon
as they were climbing toward a
cabin on an overnight ski trip.
One died, Schinke was rescued
from what he was sure would be
an icy grave, and the third fled
from the avalanche's path and
raced for help.
The dead boy was Keith Jacob
sen, son of Berne Jacobsen, city
editor of the Post Intelligencer.
Word of the tragedy, in the Cas-
cades go miles east of here, was
brought out by Ed Almquist, the
third member of the youthful
party.
Schinke was dug out by res
cuers late Saturday night, eight
hours after he was entombed be-
meath four feet of snow. An arm
thrown overhead created an air
pocket, allowing him to breathe.
He suffered only from shock
and exposure.
Young Jacobsen's body was
found 18 hours after the slide,
about 100 feet from the spot
Schinke was located. He appar-
emily suffocated.

Become Addicted To Dope

SEOUL, REU.S. Army and Air
Force officers are worried about
a new type of Korean war cas-

comes addicted to narcotics
Official reports today showed:
Twelve to Is soldiers and air

charges. Most are convicted, but
many offenders are never caught.
Most offenders picked up the

the plentiful supply.
Korean peddlers sell heroin on
the streets. Marijuana grows
wild.
An agent of the Army's Grim
inal Investigation Division said
narcotics are cheaper here than
in the us.
The military courts usually SEN
tence narcotics offenders to one
