This was follow- | ed by a Run and Ride race, which consisted of a foot race to a park- ed motorcycle and then race back on the motorcycle. It was won by Henry Kapplau. A wheelbarrow-motorcycle race was taken by the team of Henry | Kepplew.and,Hully Stirling.

Then change from pas- senger to driver followed. Finally a pyramid with five on one motorcycle was beautifully car fied out. Riding the circle was the final stunt event in which fast handling of the charging, | bucking motorcycles thrilled the crowd.

Captain Clarence Thompson, of the pilots association, was in charge of the pilot boat and other members were on board assisting in taking the ill man from the ship. Captain Giuseppe Castag- na, of the Tampico, came with Giuffre, to make the necessary arrangements. Dr. Ralph Braund, of the Ma- rine hospital, arrived at the Por- ter dock, and after going into the matter, gave permission for the admission of the ill man, who was taken to the hospital in the ambulance of the Lopez Funeral | Home.

Guastavino, visitor from Fort Lauderdale. had the thrill of his life Friday when fishing for tarpon. He had a strike with which he fought for one hour and seven min- utes. It was a game fish and during the time the struggle lasted. there was not one minute in which the angler was not striving to conquer the catch and bring it to boat. When the magnificent sil- ver king was taken into the boat it was measured and found to be five feet nine inches in length and weighed 34 pounds.

Parade Precedes Raily; Local Scouts Do Well In Scouting Field and Swim Meets, Softball Games Saturday was a day the visit- ing Boy Scouts, Miami Troop 49 and Hialeah Troop 41, here to conduct a Rally—the first in elev- en years—with local scouts will not soon forget, judging from the amount of action they packed into it. Saturday morning there were diamondball games, at noon a swimming meet, in the afternoon a scouting field meet, at night a memmoth Campfire Rally pre- ceded by a parade. Whew, what a lineup! But kids can stand any- thing! The campfire rally most impressive. The first was started, by fristion Boy Scout fashion, as the scouts joined hands in a circle around it. With the started, Master of Ce! E. Corley, Troop 41 sci called the group to silent prayer, which is done in imitation of the Indian campfire custom Guests were then introduced. Mayor William M. Albury gave a welcoming address with a word on scouting. A. S. MacFarlane, Dade County Scout Executive and assistant Rance Osborn, Broward County Scout Executive, were in- troduced. Bill Watson, chairman of the Miami Scout - Commission, announced that the Snapper Creek Camp near Miami would be ready for scout activities in the early part of the summer, and that it would be available to Dade’ Broward and Monroe County troops, which comprises the scout council in this district (Continued on Page Six) well Ww ster, blaze monies atm; We Need A Federal Loan Bank TO THE VOTERS OF MONROE COUNTY: Five or six weeks ago we felt sure we were going to get a Federal Savings and Loan Bank in Key West. Then, all of a sudden, the pro- Position was killed. Who killed it? Why was it killed? Probably there aren‘t a dozen residents who can answer those questions, but all of us know it was killed. Key West is on the threshold of a great progress, but progress along some lines will be retarded and along others killed outright if we don't get a bank that makes the type of loans a Federal Savings and Loan Bank makes. Since I have entered this campaign for County Commissioner from the First District I haven't made a single promise, but I'm going to make two promises now. If you elect me your commissioner I am going Promise No. 1. to work untiringly to have a Federal Savings and Loan Bank estab lished in Key West. You may say, “What has the office of County Commissioner got to do with getting a bank?” Holding public office gives prestige and influence to any man or woman. You can work to far better advantage. with the backing of an official position, than you can in private life. I promise you, that if you nominate me for County Commissioner on Tuesday, May 3, and elect me next November, we will either get a Federal Savings and Loan Bank or drive into the open the small group of Key Westers who are fighting against our getting such a bank. It may be news to 99 out of 100 residents in Monroe County to hear that this county has paid five thousand dollars to Hill, who was secretary of the late Senator Fletcher, and Treadway. former chair- man of the State Road Department, to lobby in Washington for Monroe County. “What! Five Thousand Dollars! I'm a taxpayer, and this is the first thing I’ve heard about it. What have they done?” I don’t know what they have done, you don't know what they have done. and the public in general doesn’t know what thev have done. but I do know an agreement was made to pay them five thous- and dollars whether or not they did anything. My second promise is that I'll fight against paying those men an other dollar of taxpayers’ money. I promise further that if I ever vote at a County Commissioners’ me ey to lobbyists in. Washington or know it and approve of it before ig to pay a cent of taxpayers’ mon- anywhere else. the taxpayers will I vote favorably. And you may be sure too that if the county employs any lobbyists while I am in office they will gepresent all the people in the county and not any smal! group. We must cast off the millstones that have been around our necks and have nearly throttled us. been crawling in since the dawn We must get out of the rut we have of this century. We must progress and. to progress. we must get those things that will promete our pro gress. Federal Savings and Loan Bank What we need now more than anything is a bank like the Loans from it will make a reality hundreds of projects that are needed in Key West. Key Westers! Let us work to get that bank. and while working to get it. let us brush aside any men who raise their hands to try to | stop us. Respectfully submitted. WILLIAM H.
