Today, as the Tooth anniversary
Of the birth of Jose MART, is
marked, the thoughts Of a goodly
number of Key Westers of Cuban
descent hearkens back to the day
In 1887 when the Cuban Congress
made it possible for Key West to
have monument to the memory
Of Cuba's most reyered patriot.
In an April, 1887, edition of the
Citizen brought into the office yes
terday by Mrs. Bienvenido Perez,
wife of a former Key West police
chief, the story of how the Cuban
Congress, aided by public subs
criptions from the citizens Of Hava-
ma, provided the city with the
statue, is told. 1t was here that
Marti marshalIed his forces in the
fight for Cuban independence.
'sThe city Of Key West will have
monument to Jose MART donated
by public subscriptions from Hava-
ma, Cuba" the article read.

Sary.
Under the terms of an earlier
agreement, the city of Key West is
70 furnish the dock facilities on
this end of the line while the Gu
ban government viii take care of
that situation in Havana. The city
has been told that the only obsta-

vice is the naming of the board
of directors of the Marine Bridge
Transport Company, a Cuban Cor
poration which has been set up to
operate the line which will furnish
the first sea link between Havana
and ~ West in many years.
The city has agreed to lease the
newly acquired CIyde-Mallory
Docks to the corporation. It will
be necessary for the city to make
repairs and improvements to the
dock facilities before the start of
the service which win require
about 90-days. Williams letter
came in response to a query by
King.

Another dream place to go on a
picnic was Augustine Beach, later
called. Delaware Beach. In bygone
days all roads led to that resort
and a whole Gay was spent there
with its many diversified ways of
entertainment. The biggest day
we ever spent there was July 4th,
1912. The big events there that
day drew 1000 visitors and every
body was sure happy. That day
our town had 139 residents to go
there while Middletown had All
there. A big game of baseball
topped off the sport calendar there
on that day.
In the bygone days the dog
catcher used to earn his money by
being allowed so cent each for the
dogs he picked up. If he caught
none during the day he was fined
so cents per day for such failure.
He was compelled to work hard to
earn his pay and drove for miles
and miles to earn a living wage
Some days he would gather in 20
dogs but the off days would make
him earn less. Some days he would
go as far south as Blackbird, north
to Wilmington, only to get nothing
for his trouble. He called it hit
and miss job and the missing was
the worst part of the work.

says w. T. McAllister, marketing
specialist for the Delaware Agri-
cultural Extension Service. Put
ting it another way, having 80 per-
cent of your eggs A quality or
better can mean as much as a dol
lar a bird extra profit each year.
To get this extra profit, you must
sell on a market that pays prem
ium for quality eggs, McAllister
points out. He says there are
plenty of these markets available
to Delaware poultrymen if they
will take the time to develop them.
Egg routes such as those where
the consumer buys direct from the
farm usually require the highest
quality eggs and return the high
est prices to the farmer. Many
restaurants, hotels, industrial cafe
terias, and retail stores recognize
the sales appeal of quality eggs
and are willing to pay premium
for a dependable local supply.
On the other hand, egg buyers
such as grocery stores, feed deal
ers, hatcheries, and many of the
country egg buyers or hucksters
pay little attention to quality when
buying or trading eggs.
Good egg markets just don't
happen" McAllister observes, ''they
are developed by progressive poul-

Keeping summer eggs in good

also important. For best quality,
eggs should be collected in wire
