KEY WEST, FLORIDA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1937, LLBURY ELE Planning To Develop Two Of Island City’s Most Valuable Assets * Rotary Club And Chamber Of Commerce Working In: Interest Of Mat- ter Rotary ‘Club and Chamber of Commerce have joined hands to develop two of Key West’s most valuable assets—her glorious sur- rounding sea, and her amphibian Incidentally, if the plans work out, as they can hard- youngsters. ly help doing with the personnel of the committee being what it is, Key West will sail into the News Reels of the world, it is pointed out. Sometime ago, Melvin Russell was named chairman of the Re- gatta Committee cf the Chamber of Commerce, and in the interval has not been idle. The Rotary Club heard his story, and their » oReereation.and Sports Committee, consisting of Major J. D. MacMul- len, U. S. A., chairman, A. B. Cleare, Jr., Lieutenant J. E Faigle, C. E. U. S. N., Rev. Joe Tolle and Jack Long, decided to get in the game and when Seere- tary S. C. Singleton produced some photos and tentative plans, for a South Sea Island craft, everything was setting perfect. Chairman MacMullen called a meting of the committee at his home last night, and in the call Mr. Singleton and Mr. Russell were included. Before the session was concluded it was decided that. those present would constitute a committee to consider ways and means to organize a yacht club, for the purpose of promoting re- gattas, water sports, and afford- ing the young men of the city the opportunity of competing with the sportsmen of the nation and to bring to Key West the prestige and glory which is its natural heritage, due to its location in these southern sunny seas. . Substantial encouragement is given to the plan by the active as- sistance of Major MacMullen,' and Lieutenant Faigle. The Rotary Club will be asked to sponsor. the formation of the yacht club. Mr. Long and Mr. Singleton were di- rected to prepare plans for the sensational sailing craft, while the other members of the group make pleas for a strong, active Cayo Hueso Yacht Club, which will be the southernmost yacht club in the United States. Surrounded as Key West is by the finest cruising and sailing waters in the country, and fast becoming the Mecca for the yachtsmen of the nation,. the proposition to form this club is one more evidence that Key West has ridder out the storm, and is squared away for a bigger, bet- ter and brighter future.
