SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1934. FORD EXPOSITION AT WORLD'S FAIR [IN PREPARATION W. E. O'NEIL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY OF CHICAGO 1s AWARDED CONTRACT; BE- GIN WORK The W. E. O’Neil Construction Company of Chicago was award- ed the general contract for erec- tion of the Ford Exposition at the Chicago World’s Fair, it was re- vealed in an announcement issued by C. J. Seyffer, manager of the Jacksonville Ford branch. Construction work has already begun, and will be completed be- fore June 1, it was stated. The building will be 900 feet long and rise to 110 feet at its highest-point in a huge central rotunda. Fourteen hundred tons: of steel will be used. Specifica- tions call for 700,000 square feet of fire-resistant wall board; 1,600,- 000 feet of lumber; 5,000 yards of concrete; and 160,000 square feet of ‘tile flooring. The entire space reserved for industrial ex- hibits -will be skylighted. Large quantities of chromium metal work will be used in both the in- terior and exterior embellish- ment, in line with the conserva- tively modernistic motif of the architecture. Fifteen bids were received. The three lowest were so close that two days were spent in con- ference between Ford officials and bidders before the award was finally made in the offices of Al- hert Kahn, Detroit atchitect. W. E. O'Neil, president, and C. FP. Trimarco, chief estimator, repre- sented the successful company. The Ford building, which is to be one of the largest at the 1934 “Century of Progress”, will be sit- uated on an 1l-acre tract with a frontage of 1100 feet on Lake Michigan. A five-acre park on the lake shore is a part of the general project, though this was not ineluded in the contract. ———__— SCOCCSCSOCOROODOROALCCES eseseeeceeansosecos: OF HOME PRODUCTS Editor, The Citizen: The longer one lives in Key West, the clearer do they perceive the possibilities within the reach of its people. In conversation with one of its oldest inhabitants, I was surprised to learn the products she had raised in the small plot in front of and behind her home, And as I visit I am now and then brought face to face with this same condition of things in certain homes. Not only flowers and ‘plants, which we all love and admire, not only “beautification seheme” so pleasing to the eye and suggestive and helpful in many ways, but the raising of the vege- tables and fruits, which make such a difference in homes where the pinch is felt the. most. If the same energy has been ‘spent ‘(well spent) ‘on, beau- tification, can be directed in the channels | suggested, I believe we ean do ntuch to jallevinte the sit- vation in which many are placed I birers sm the social visitors, as they go from house to house, can do fine serv- ice along these lines. We sing of Key West the “beautiful” and so oyr city is. Can we not make greater use of the magnificent climate we pos- sess and the soil so rich and pro. ductive? The covering of our homes with vines, the raising of food stuffs and a greater love for the home life, will do much to make our lives a little brighter and much sweeter. In a circular I have just re- ceived from the office of Harry L. Hopkins, administrator, Wash- ington, I find this paragrapb: “Some of the methods to be emplayed include building. . .the provision of seed, for other than commercial purposes,” Granted a city without a wa- ter system. No industries, A fruitful soil and exceptional cli- mate, then the problem is clear, if not easy, and a solution not impossible. In common honesty I am bound to add that our difficulties are greatly increased by the number of saloons in our midst and the amount of money that is mis- spent. It is painful te note the eut- come. Public records show that! the increase in drunkenness since repeal has been alarming.

I've never had any idea of marrying Matilda. As for mother’s coming to live with us—if Thad... well Tilda’s the only per. son she’s never been able to whip at bridge and life would have been one Jong tournament, and I don't like tournaments,” ae ee * a Judith wasn’t jealous of Mathile Bevins. She assured herself of this the day they moved into “Hillendale Cottage.” However, she didn’t un- derstand why, with thirty-one days to October, Mathile had to chose that particular day for the Naiad to dock at the turning basin. Someone had to drive down for Mrs. Dale, senior, and someone had to stay at the house to attend to the last moment affairs. Judith pre ferred being at the house. “This sho’ is a pretty house, Miss Judy.” wheezed Delphy, sinking inte a deep chair in the 'iving room, with the easy familiarity of one “bo'n t’ the family.” “And you like your quarters. Delphy? How about Lige, is it go- ing to be too far from town for him?” “Laws no, that boy he kin get up @ one man crap game, an ‘ts a sight easier on me when he loses to his self.” She looked out on the long room with Its quaint fixtures, pale yellow walls and sea-green drapes. “Drat Jahvary.

Some wo- men ought to have a dozen chilern’ or a boardin’ house :o keep them busy. and she’s one.” Judith smiled a small secret smile as she thought of Clia—“Mrs. J. An- thony Dale,” Clia had said, “is a fine example of a good business woman finding an outlet for her talent in social piracy.” FEW nights later, in the throes of giving her first formal dinner, she thought again of what Clia and Delphy had said. Trembling with fatigue and exeitement she sat be- fui her dressing room table trying to fasten the strap of her beige vel- vet gown. Twenty guests . . . suppose one or two were late, didn’t come... Lige Must remember Big Tom was to have only water, no wine, no coffee and afterwards, the orchestra was to begin -with the Venetian Suite . . . Dolores looked so lovely bebind her buge harp... she men- tioned this to Norman, who was struggling with his tie. “Reminds me,” he said, “I'l put up a card table in the den, that’s far enough away so the few who have to have their bridge won't be an- noyed.” Judith looked into the mirror. Would the time come when she would be like this mother of his? Would marriage and motherhood leave her life so empty she'd want to return to the business world out of sheer horedom? Norman and Judith spent their first Thanksgiving with the Bevins apd as fond as was Judith of Big Tom she began to look upon his family es flies in the amber of her honeymoon. But Thanksgiving was not as mo- notonous as Judith had anticipated. Big' Tom's delight at having her there made up for Mathile’s insist- ence upon monopolizing Norman, and when the engineer, so clearly showing the mark of illness, took her jnto the brary, to)show her a miniature dam he had constructed, she became completely absorbed in the project. And then time passed an¢ some- how it seemed to her she had always lived there; had always been mar ried to Norman. There was nothing tw watching the mantel clock for the hands to point to the hour his car would purr up the driveway and she would meet him at the door, to re mind ber of the lonely nights fn her apartment. The unity of their life and love was so perfect she made no attempt to analyze it, or fear it too perfect to last. And thea, like the shattering of a tragile prism, came a telephone mes- eae in the midst of their Valentine party. Tom Bevins had dropped dead.
