For more than two weeks prep-j arations have been going on,} making ready for the start of the’ school. The first children were enrolled yesterday. Only a few are being enrolled at a time, since all must have physical examina-j tions before being admitted to the school. Persons who are interested in having their children enrolled in the school should communicate) with Mrs. Nina Ryder Johnson, director of relief here. If families) of the children, between the ages of two and five years, are found eligible to have their children | rolled in the school, nursery! school teachers will visit them} and explain the work of the proj- ect and-its advantages. A local committee will make the decision as to whether or not the applying children are to be enrolled in the school. Mem- bers of the advisory committee and WPA personnel, members of the Cuban population are work- ing out details in. connection with their celebration of El Grito De Baire which takes place Monday. February, 24, and which will come} the second day in the week’s pro- gram. Starting with the formal open- ing of the Key West Botanical Garden on Stock Island Sunday afternoon, events have been planned which follow in rapid succession throughout the bal- ance of the week. Highlight of the week probably will be the second presentation in the open air of Gilbert and Sulli- van’s operetta,.Pirates of Pen- zance, which again will be staged at the Navy Ball Field with o!d Fort Dillworth furnishing the background for the stage setting. Immediately back of the old fort lie the waters of the Gulf and At- lantie which last year added a great deal to the effective presen- tation of the operetta. The entire plot of the Pirates of Penzance centers around the birthday of Frederick, it will be recalled, which comes on Leap Year Day, and this year the Pi- rates operetta will be more ap- propriate, since it will be staged during Leap Year Week. Final Event The final event on La Semana West Botanical Garden alone aro! expected to be sufficient to at- tract many persons here.

He also took a latge part in the production of a sketch map of Florida, showing in pictorial form the variety and location of FERA projects and accomplish- ments in the state.
