Dade County Scout Execu tive, saw the early establish ment of an honor court in lo cal scouting circles and many more scout camping trips to Key West because of the ex cellent outdoor camping spots here. Regarding the honor court. Mr. MacFarlane said he could recommend that one be es tablished as soon as possible. Key West should be the center of scout activities to compete materially with Mi ami in this respect in the very near future. Mr. Mac Farlane said. “Not only have you a wonderful group of is lands with many camping and fishing spots”, he said “but you have the best climate in Florida to make outdoor camping that much more healthful. It is my be lief that scout leaders will come to realize the oppor tunity in camping on the Keys and down to Key West.

This promises much for future de- velopment of Key West and the Keys”, Mr. Wood con- cluded. 6 hedkddke headed d) ARRANGING FOR MONDAY’S RALLY THREE SPEAKERS FOR PO- LITICAL EVENT SCHED- ULED THUS FAR John Costar vice chairman of Road and Toll was appointed | chairman of the central executive | committee in charge of the cole- bration which will mark the for- | mal opening of the highway on | July 4, at a general meeting held last night in the county court house. Mr. Costar, acting as temporary | chairman presided at the meet jing, and Temporary Sec Charles Taylor, acted in capacity. Mr. Taylor declined the nomination as secretary of | the permanent body, when nomi- | nated, because of the fact that an | executive secretary would be re- quired to devote practically all of his time to the work, and this ‘he was unable to do. because of the volume of work which must jcome undor his direct supesyision | daily. Followed a long discussion as to the suitability of a person to act as executive secretary. It was finally decided, after a num ber of suggestions had been made, that the All Florida Organ ization of the Chamber of Com merce, be communicated with and their suggestions be called for. Members of that organization have had wide experience in that phase of entertainment and ther are nong its members, men who have demonstrated their ability to organize and manage large celebrations such as conter plated. The suggestion that a person from the organizat mentioned, would be the proper one to handle the celebratior was heartily received After this had been d was suggested that employe who are on the lists of the WPA and NYA could be secured who could assist the executive sect tary in carrying out sc of thé plans made by him of valuable assistance pacity.
