The State Board of So-; cial Welfare has offered to pay for the services of the supervisor ‘of the clinic, and the local phy-! sicians have offered their free services a certain number of hours each week. The local citizens’ advisory committee believes that Key West and Monroe County are interest- €d enough in assuming the re. sponsibility for own indigents and in continuing a medi¢al serv- ice which has already proven in- valuable. They are of the opin-! fon that people who are steadily émployed, even though only at a Rominal wage, will be very glad to contribute probably a small but fegular sum to. cover the ex- penses, of the people who fermerly were out of work and have now re- ceived either private employment or permanent placements on WPA! will be only too glad to help those! poor, faced with starvation health. Hope To Raise $500 The local citizens’ advisory committee is hoping that by Jul 1 they will be able to raise $500. A committee was appointed to: prepare a list of people in Key!/ West who are civic and socially and minded and who will be interested} in forwarding the above men-! geria where high-born Arabs chafe} tioned plans. These people in turn will be asked to contact: others regarding contributions to. ward the community fund. Fra. ternal organizations also are be contacted, and it is hoped that some money may be raised through entertainments, The local Wzens’ (Continued on Page Four) own; | | \ { | They believe that many’ 'ROTARY CLUB MEETS TODAY SEVERAL GUESTS WERE PRESENT AT REGULAR LUNCHEON | Paul’s Parish Hall at noon to- day, and after the ritual cf the salute to the flag and the pledge ; of allegiance to the United States; jot America, William Bates graced the table.

The film is not shown in America but a lot of Americans in England saw and heard it. One who went right straight up in the air was Charles W. Raymond, formerly of Bos- ton, who is now manager of Englanll’s biggest motion pic- ture house. Raymond has a lot of friends in Hollywood and ordered Brook’s speech im- mediately cut out of the film. Similar action was taken later by other movie houses and finally by distributors of the news film. :- FLORIDA BRINGS 63 PASSENGERS TONS OF FREIGHT “FOR KEY WEST Steamship Florida, of the P. and jo.
