Buddie Dorgan, newsboy of The Citizen, can vouch for this, for he has just experi- enced the loss of certain parts of equipment from his Model T. and has not the slightest idea of who is responsible. The robbers who tackled the job of thievery from the car, did a complete one, for they not only removed the tires from the car, but also took every rim off the wheels.

Polly is the pet of the neighborhood and also among residents of all parts of the city. “Greenback” loves to sit on the limbs of a tree on the El- wood’s sidewalk.

The meeting last night was for the purpose of discussing plans of “Greenback” as one of Key West's attractions but very few visitors to the breadfruit tree fail to have a little chat but English. Several years ago the El- woods’ pet wandered off. An ad was inserted in the classi- fied column of The Citizen and “Greenback” was return- ed in three days after leaving with polly, whose squawking and talking draw their atten- tion. those in the city who are inter- ested in the celebration, of setting the date and naming a General |Chairman and Secretary.

The affair will be made both a national and international event with some details to be worked out tomorrow night. The main discussion last night hinged around the question of making the time in December or in July. Arguments for Decem ber included it being a tourist month which would attract a large crowd here, the fact that July is a warm month, and that the July 4 date will mean rushing celebration plans. Arguments for July brought out the fact that national news wires then will be open to the stery much better than next winter and the’ city would get widespread publicity frém, that facter,,, Also, that July would bring quite a large ‘rum ber of Florida people and summer vacationists, which would provide for getting the message of the beauty and charm of the highway drive to this city to a wide group which would in turn = influence winter visitors throughout Flor ida to come down here next year The vote in favor of the July celebration was very nearly unanimous.
