D., the attention of the Rotary Club of Key West, at its regular luncheon noon today in Parish Hall, was centered on the business of the moment, which was a lunch, built around turkey as the lead- ing item. Visitors introduced were Lieu- tenant Fred Natilla, Coast and Geodetic Survey, hailing from Washington, D. C.; Dr. Stembler, of Cincinnati, O.. and Dr. W. P. Rice of Key West.
