Excellent Progress In Beautification Program The beautification sub-commit- tee of the conservation committee of the Monroe County Council for Unemployment Relief, is receiving exeellent cooperation in the work now being done in planting and beautifying vacant plots in this city. The location now under way is the former Catholic church site next to Colonial hotel, which will be turned into a park, and already men have volunteered their ser- vices to construct benches for this place. The wholehearted co- operation that is shown toward men and women who are trying to make Key West a more beautiful spot, is greatly appreciated by. the committee members who are giving their time to this worthy project. | Plants and trees have already been put out on this Duval street} location next to Colonial hotel, and those in charge of the work, are protesting against what almost proved a disaster, and perhaps a tragedy last night. Piles of trash on this lot were set afire last night by boys. An- other boy who saw the fire put it out, and not long afterwards the fire was again started and a man It is pointed out by those in- terested, that should a fire gain headway in this location, it will prove disastrous, and aside from the loss of time and effort expend- ed in trying to make the city more beautiful and attractive, such van- dals are disheartening those who are giving their time to civic im- provement. The committee Is in need of lumber for benches, and anyone who can supply a few pieces suit- able for these, will confer a favor on the committee by donating such. In the beautification plan to be carried out on the lot+ next to Colonial hotel, Wallace B. Kirke, who is in charge, states that only those trees, shrubs and plants that are given to him or to members of his committee are being planted, as the committee has no money to purchase rare and costly plants from greenhouses and nurseries. The plan to make this plot attrac- tive may develop it into a per- manent park, it is stated, where tourists may while away spare time. In time to come, if money is available for such purposes, rare Miss Anna DeBoer was a return- ing passenger over the East Coast yesterday from Miami where she was spending several weeks with relatives, |. Sir Henry Thornton, Canadian Railway magnate, Lady Thornton, and party, arrived on the Havana Special yesterday and left on the S. S. Florida for Havana. .

They were ac- companied on the return trip by Shirley Velasco, who had also been spending some ‘time at Fort Worth. SUBJECT OF SERMON LAST. EVENING; ANOTHER SER- VICE TONIGHT » Without uttering a word of at- tack upon those of other creeds or denominations, the Rev. Thomas J. S. McGrath, S. J.,.of Shreveport, La., who is conducting the Jubilee or Holy Year Mission at St. Mary’s | Catholic church that began Sun- day, held a capacity audience for an hour last evening with his lec- ture, “Why I Am A Catholic.” This evening at 7:30 the visit- ing priest will take as the subject lof his lecture “What Catholics Do Not Believe,” to which the general public is cordially invited by the Rev. Francis X. Dougherty, S, J., local pastor. | When making known his subject ‘for this evening, Father McGrath ‘said: “Many absurd and ridiculous things have been imputed to us as part of our religious belief which, as a matter of fact, are no more part of it than Key West is the jeapital of the Fiji-Islands.. But, given wide publicity both by the spoken word and the printed page, I deem it necessary to refute them Catholic parentage would not be a reasonable but a sentimental mo- tive for my religious faith. “Then, why am I a Catholie?’ 1 am a-Catholic because deep down in my heart I am conscientiously convinced and intellectually per- suaded that the, Catholic church of 1993 is the church thet ” Christ Himself established and sent, his Apostles out to spread and propagate. “Others, I know, do not believe as I do. To all such I give full credit of sincerity. Their religious convictions are a matter of their own consciences; a matter between them and God. So, too, is my re- ligious belief a matter of my con- |science and a matter between my- self and God. And just as I give others who differ from me full credit for sincerity, so do I expect the same courtesy from them. And as I refrain from attacking and be- littling them, so, too, do I expect the same kindly treatment from others.” since these calumpies have been}, bered by THOMAS BULLARD, MRS. MARY PENT, MRS.
