The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1954-10-05


Grafton point this Tuesday mas
much as a great deal has occurred
since our last visit. The ferry serv'
ice is an actuality - and almost
equally unbelievable-the GIANTS
WON! Ho-de-do and happy day anc
four straight it was! Recall read
ing that it was unfair for New
City to sprinkle the confetti for the
Giants when the Yankees had cop
ped five straight World Champion
ships - and been ignored in the
torn paper department-but do be-
lieve that part Of the great joy al
the Giants victory was based on
the fact that the Yankees consis-
tent winning was getting to be a
bit Of old hat.
Speaking Of things old-shali we
make the rounds again Of our
shops, and today shall tell you Of
the new merchandise which has
been received and new buys to be
found!

were patches Of real blue; with
enormous off-white clouds. Final
ly drops Of rain hit the windshield
and then heightened into Ion,

The hour finally became 1911,
Am. Of a Saturday morning =
October 2,1954 and it would seen
that when the giant of noise o
whistles and horns from the sur
rounding Navy Ships-decked on
at full dress-rose-so, at the sam,
time-a dazzling sun, with radian
blue sky took over. The first color
fully decorated ships appeared
round the bend and then--cam,
