The effort involved should become the ad- | hesive that seals all the wounds caused hy |) past fianecemet in cord of fic ne of committees ‘and the general plans of procedure to be followed by the arrangements group and then get out and work their heads eff for the suc- cess of our first real celebration in years. It is a foregone conclusion that the committees selected will seek suggestions. Lest séme point be overlooked we hasten to make a few suggestions. First, employ a bang-up promotion in handling such | celebrations. If possible he should be a first-class publicity man.

Federal No. 1 Highway association, the Atlantic Coastal Highway | association, the Tourist Commission of | Cuba, the Cuban Central Highway associa- | tion should be invited to attend, to send representatives or to ‘participate in the ar- | rangements.

A warrant for Demos Gorvas, manager of the Sanitary Restau- rant, was today issued by Justice of the Peace Rogelio Gomez, charging him with assaulting George Lazarus, manager of the Key Restaurant. It is charged that when Lazarus started to open the Key Restaurant this morning he was confronted by Gorvas, who held a gun in his hands and or- dered Lazarus to cross the street and go into the Sanitary Res- taurant. When he entered, Gor- vas blackjacked him, he says, choked him and rendered him un- conscious for a while. With that stitément Lazarus bared his‘Head and showed that the scalp‘''Had beén''split from the crown to’ foreHead’ and also called atten- tion to’ blue marks on the throat Where he alleges he had been choked. Lazarus was for a time employed at the Sanitary Res- taurant, but is now managing the Key Restaurant, and believes that the assault is the result of busi- ness competition. The hearing has been set for 2 o’clock tomor- row and Gorvas is to be charged with aggravated assault with in- tent to commit a felony. Backers of the movement to se- cure a field for athletic events and football and baseball, will meet Thursday evening in the American Legion Hall for the purpose of furthering a campaign with his end in view.
