It is a trip you will never forget. Visit the charming hill and lake country of central Florida, take a run down the glorious east coast with its marvelous beaches and beautiful tropical scenery. And you folks in south Florida, if you want a change of scenery and a trip that will thrill you, go north and west, drive along the Gulf Coast Highw: visit Port St. Joe, Panama City and Pensa- cola, feturn on State Road num- ber one. You'll find parks and springs, beaches nad many spots of historical interest.

By bringing 2| statement from his employer showing the date of termination of employment, reason, and pos- | sibility of reemployment, the worker is then in a position to be given immediate consideration for reemployment. “Some workers are of the opin. ion”, stated Mr. Gandolfo, “that their case is closed immediately upon their accepting private em- ployment. This is not the case. If a. worker receives temporary em ‘ployment his case remains open Tt is only in cases where employ- ment extends over a period of many months ‘that such employ- ment is termed permanent”. Ty View of ‘these’ facts: workers should not hesitate to take priv. ate employment as'every consid eration will be shown to « work et who is in need of relief and where he loses his private em- ployment through no fault of his own. The local Employment Division states that no request is too smal! or too large to warrant their prompt attention. If contractors merchants. or any other enter prises are having difficulty in se curing competent help, Mr. Gan dolfo would appreciate being so advised.

The upstairs is to have class- rooms, an office, and provision for an art reference library. | Many Arts The galleries are to be painted ‘in quite an unusual color-scheme, to make the building a most at- tractive center for local art and hobby groups. The Center’s in- terest is not limited to the visual arts alone, music groups, the folk- dancing group now being organiz- ed, but others will be welcome when the renovated building is opened. The circulating exhibitions sent out from Washington will give {citizens of Key West an opportun- ity to become acquainted with }every phase of contemporay ‘American art—painting, sculp- ture, graphic art, decorative art, ‘posters, photography, etc.; while jthe Jocal gallery will have exhi- bitions by Key West organizations such as the Camera Club, Art As- sociation and hobby groups. 1700 Visitors The Sponsors’ Committee have been working very hard in the interests of the community to put this project through, and they hope that more of the citizens will realize what a very import- ant part this Center will play in ithe future of the city by coordin- ating all phases’ of art interests and hobby groups, providing edu- cational and school facilities for children and adults, and making yan interesting attraction for tour- ists.
