At For Taylor Wil Only Be For Temporary Period * ' Senator Pepper Says It Will Be Closed For Sum- mer And Will Be Reopen-| ed In Fall (By Washington News Service) | WASHINGTON, D. C., June 28. | —Senator Claude Pepper said to- day that the closing of the CCC hospital at *ForfTaylor will only be temporary? Pepper asseried that his most recent information obtained is to the effect that the camp is to be closed for the summer months and that during October or early | November it will be reopened again. The reason is, Pepper explain- ed, “that the camp is chiefly maintained for CCC boys who have trouble with their lungs. | During the summer months it will not be necessary to keep the hos- Pital open”. He added, however, that equipment will be retained at the hospital, and that perhaps one or two capable attendants | { sal | | ' URGES CAUTION AGAINST FOURTH OF JULY FIRES | \FIRE CHIEF BAKER CITES DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE DANGEROUS IN HAP- PENINGS OF DAY Talking on the Fourth of July, which’ falls on next Monday and will, in all probability, be one ‘of the noisiést ‘ever experienced in the city, as ‘it will be the last of the three day celebration of the Overseas Highway and attendant festivities, Chief Harry M. Baker, of, the Key West Fire Depart- ment, gave a definite warning to | parents when he said: If you permit children to have fireworks you may see a ‘battle- | field’ develop about your own family group, a noisy engagement that will shatter nerves and the quiet of an otherwise peaceful holiday. But oftentimes that is the very least of it, and this is especially true of the Fourth of July, and that day will be the last of the celebration. “Every battlefield has its list of casualties, and the battlefields of the Fourth of July is no ex- ception. You have seen the sorry records in the newspapers. Each year’s celebration of Independ- ence Day brings a number of jdeaths from fireworks, firecrack- ers and other explosive pieces, and there are also recorded num- ‘Berless.injuries..

In fact, she ‘was so impressed that she imme- diately flew to Tallahassee and induced Julius Stone to come back here to look into the situa- tion. Everyone knows what was | done, and we feel the city owes Miss VanSickler a debt of grati- tude”. Miss VanSickler will be the house guest of Miss Harris during | the period of the celebration. _ OF WPA ARTICLES a KEY WEST, FLORIDA, TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1928.

FINDS COIN IN FISH | Gas models are a great deal! jharder to build, and approaches the science of full-size airplane | construction. In the nose of the fuselage is placed a tiny three- linch gasoline motor, which weighs | but a few ounces. The planes for | this type of motor are from four | to eight feet in length with wing 'spreads up to twelve feet. Faral- do’s championship plane is a large Yeabin model, silk covered with balsa framework. It is in colors. The forty-three minute flight is not only high for Florida model plane flights, but is considered very good for national competi- tien. The record, however, is well over that figure, model flights depending a great deal upon atmospheric and wind con- ditions. Faraldo not only won the gas model division, but also the ROG. is a light plane powered with a rubber band motor. Both j contests were won in the senior | divisions. JOIN IN PARADE Members of B. H.
