Mr. O’Hara has announced no defin- ite subject concerning his presen- tation, however it is understood that one feature of it will be “How to Write a Tune”.

For years, Miami was ahead of the game; came a string of new ‘cities to the north, Key West's new rise and old rivals across the “Trail” pouring out invita- tions. They lured away the gen- tle visitors, glad not to be met , with an outstretched palm.
