GIVES TALK ON
PUERTO RICO
Rev. Reus Froylan Traces
History of Island at st.
Peters Church Friday
HOLD SOCIAL HOUR

The strategic Importance of the
island of Puerto Rico due to its
position was emphasized by the
Rev. Francisco Reus-Froylan,
chaplain of st. Just's School for
Boys, in a talk given in the parish
house of st. Peters Church Fri
day night. He traced the history of
the island, and said that it is often
termed "the link of the Ameri-
cas-" and the watchdog of The
Caribbean. The contrast between
the island under the rule of Spain
and that of America was shown,
and the reasons for the feeling of
insecurity of the people developed
under the old regime. They now
have a national government, and
Puerto Ricans are proud of being
American citizens, despite the ira
gic incident staged by a few fana-
tics recently in Washington. With
more training, and more people
learning to think, the islanders
will be able to solve their prob
lens, he stated. The Episcopal
Church was founded there fifty
years ago, and "it is wanted and
needed in Puerto Rico" according
to the speaker. He illustrated his
remarks about the st. Just School
with colored slides, and said that
the school is now fifty percent self

T1CO-Ganle Series
Slated Thursday
And Friday At
Wickers Stadium,

The Key West High nine
goes back into action Thurs
day night when they meet
the highly touted Coral Cab
les Cavaliers. Following
Thursdays encounter the
two clubs will go at it again
on Friday night. Both of
these contests count in the
district standings. Each team
in the district must play
each other twice. At the end
of the season the two teams
with. the best records, repre-
sent the district at the state
tourney. The Conchs have
three wins against no losses
in district play while Coral
Gables has won two and lost
none.
The Cavaliers are paced by short
stop Jack LANCER and Joe Atwood.
LANCER besides being the best short
stop t. the Miami area is also a
pretty fair pitcher when called on
to pitch. Atwood is a Jack-of-all-
trades, playing just about any,
where on the field. Last year the
Conchs won the first game of a
two game series from the Cava-
hers. The second game was rained
out with Coral Gables owning a
one run lead. Most of the Gables
squad is back from last year and
a good contest is in the offing.
The Key West squad is intact
and ready for the coming battle.
Only position which is uncertain
is right field with Leeburg Knowles,
Jerry Pita, Fred Curry and Roger
Bean fighting it out for the start
ing berth.
Second sacker Eloy Rodriguez
and short stop Julio Santana have
both proven their value as defen-
SNe men having handled twenty.
one chances with but one error
thus far this season.
George Lastres and Gibby Gates
will hurl the two games with Don
Cruz and Stuart Yates both ready
for action. Julio Henriquez who is
leading the Conchs hitting parade
with a 400 average will handle
the catching duties with Sidney
Kerr available to spell him if the
need arises.
Harold Solomon bloSSomed forth
as a hitting threat during the last
game when he drove in two runs
on two timely hits. The heads up
play of Biff Salgado at first base
has proven him capable sue
CeSsor to Robert LaStres.
A public address system is be-
ing installed to announce the game.

will be sold at the game. Game
time is SIS at WickerS Field.

Estimote Bridge
Loss at $4,000

KALISPELL-Cost ofSrepair of
the North Fork bridge span which
collapsed July 6 is estimated at
$4,000.
This is the figure prepared by
T. A. Taschereau, county engineer,
and Harold Roatch, county bridge
foreman.
Flathead county commissioners
Wednesday afternoon expressed
interest in having the bridge re-
paired. The logging truck that was
on the west span when it col
lapsed July carried liability in
surance and there is prospect of
settlement.
The county itself cannot spend
more than $4,000 without bond
election.
Commissioners Charles Luke,
Wallace Monk and Reu Carr, all
expressed sentiments to the effect
that the bridge, even when re-
paired, was inadequate. Mills in
the Coram and Martin City sec
ton, especially, need a better
bridge.
They felt the county was not apt
to vote in favor and bond itself
for new North Fork bridge. Pos
sibilities are distant for a grant
for a new bridge under the Sec
ondary road program using fed
eral and state funds.
