Just got home from school last night.” “Ever visualize him, mangled and crushed, half buried in the \slime and mud of a foreign soil, with a flock of buzzards circling overhead?” I asked. : “Good God, man,” he stammer- ed, paling, “how can you say such a ghastly thing?” “It isn’t a very pleasant thought,” I admitted, “but you encouraged it with your tirade about bombin’ the Japs. You know it’s boys like yours that will velous, and I have just got to come back again.” Fred L. Wordin and Charles S.

DODGE CAR NOW BEING DISPLAYED Big “American Beauty” Dodge for 1938 has been attracting much attention since being placed on display recently by Navarro, Inc., local Dodge-Plymouth deal- er. Advertisement in today’s issue .points out just how little the 1938 edition of Dodge can be purchas- ed, Car advertised in the five- passenger touring sedan delivered in Key West which is the most popular model.

Children of the school were each given two suits of clothes, a pair of shoes and toys by the Board of Directors. Among the visitors at the exercises were two visitors, the Misses Barbour, from New Jersey, and they were jso delighted with the presentation G.} ED O'BRIEN IS VISITING HERE HAVANA PUBLISHER WAS CALLER AT THE CITIZEN THIS MORNING | Ed O’Brien, publisher of the Pan American Review, of Ha- vana, was a welcomed caller at The Citizen this morning, for a chat with the publisher. Directly after the Spanish- American War had ended and the political situation in Cuba had re- gained normalcy, Mr. O’Brien went to Havana and established the Times of Cuba, which proved a potent force in the island’s poli- ties. He continued its publication until a few years ago when he changed the name to P. A. R., which is still one of the widely read publications in Cuba and the United States, much of the im- | portant news of that island being in Spanish and English. During the intervening years, Mr. O’Brien has been a frequent visitor to Key West, and has a host of friends who are ever glad to welcome him. 25,000,000 NAMES e Veterans of ndertake to Ss to pe- the Presi- — calling for the adoption of policies designed .to keep the country out of war, according to | Scott P.
