W. Comstock, a retired clergyman who came to Florida for his health and found no agen- ¢y or institution in the state at that time to take care of home- leas babies under three years of age, or equipped to do child plac- ing work.

Galey calling on tthe people of Key West to make Sunday. January 17, a day of prayer and to turn their hearts toward righteous government in order to improve existing condi- tions in this city, Rev. Alfred de Barritt, who has served the pulpit for ten years in Key, West, will deal with the question at the services to be conducted tomor- lrow at the Trinity Presbyterian Chureh in cooperation with all other churches of the city, which will conduct special worship on this occasion. The pastor will talk on the ques- tion of conditions in Key West and other places as they affect safety and security for those who expect to travel over the bridges when built. Rev. de Barritt is of the opin- ion that from sheer self-preserva- be fatal to prosperity to a city that is dependent on a_ over-the-sea passage to the mainland. “Just as our railway ‘ralway| have made travelling by railway | practically accident-proof, and our Washington officials are doing all possible to make our airlines just as satisfactory,” says Rev. de Bar- ritt, “I will urge that the respon- sible persons at both ends of our over-the-sea bridges take the most severe measures to see that these bridges are not used by those who are responsible for the loss of thousands of lives in the republic today.” SERVICEIN AFTERNOON | af In observance of the city-wide day of prayer as called for in a proclamation issued by the mayor of Key West, and also a resolu- tion passed by the ministers of the city, Fleming Street Metho- dist ‘Church will have a service at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon. The pastor will deliver a ser- mon in keeping with the occasion. All members and friends are in- vited to this service. | Dance Tonight », | At Raul’s Club Regular Saturday night dance will be held this evening at Raul’s Club on Rowevelt Boulevard.

J. Sears relative to the local postoffice building and its lack! of space. “We solicit your earn- est attention to the matter of the postoffice in Key West for the jreason that the government al- lready owns the site in this city, and has owned it for 13 years.
