Recently, visitors have commented on the tameness of a number of herons, blue and great white, and golding which seem to have found something about the island they liked and have made it their home. At the Yacht Basin there are a number of blues which perch along the breakwater and even gawkily walk on the asphalt roadway and along the docks. At other points in the city where they may come into the land along the waterfront they have been seen, notably along the Boulevard and the entire shoreline of the island. Of course scores may be seen on the small islands close to ihe city and farther out on the banks but these few “tame” ones are worthy of men- tion. E. M. Moore, conserva- tion agent with the Audubon Society, has been making an effort to induce more of the sea roving feathered flock to make themselves “at home” on the island. He makes daily trips to the points on the island where they may be found. SOIIII IIIS The matter was discussed from practically every angle and it was finally decided that a cpt OFFICIAL GROUP cial meeting of the city council’ beheld - Wednesday.’ “night at | which plans for furthering th project will be completed.

The families had held on to them for generations, and most of them had never been exhibited before. But now they feel that the por- traits of their ancestors will be safer on the American side of the water. “We are hearing about the dis- tinguished foreign intellectuals and great scientists who are com- ing to the United States refu- gees. We are fortunate in having some distinguished refugees in paintings as well”. When ennouncement was made that Dr. Eduard Benes, an ex- ile from Czechoslovakia, was to lecture at the University of Chi- cago, editorials commented that in this age as in the dark ages it might be the universities which would play a great part in carry- ing on the traditions of civiliza- tion.

They are very sympathetic!” Colonel Ful- gencio Batista, chief of the Cuban Army. said addressing the citi- zens of Key West from the San Carles Building 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. “I have seen the monuments erected in the city of Key West glorifying the memory. of the heroes who fought for the libera- tion and betterment of the Cuban people. My purpose in making the trip here is to see what can be done for betterment of those and their descendants who aided us in our fight for liberty prior to and during the Spanish-Ameri- can war! “Geographically, morally and spiritually Key West is a part of ' Cuba”, and-here Colonel” Batista smiled, “but I don’t want the United States to get after me. I’m not annexing Key West to Cuba. I mean only in spirit”. Regarding the offer of aid, Col- onel Batista’s remarks were in- terpreted by some to mean that he would like to improve San Carlos School in some way. The address followed an spection of San Carlos School. Arriving 1:15 at Bayview Park at the head of a_ motorcade Colonel Batista, smiling, stopped a moment to read the inscription on the Marti monument, then placed a large wreath with his name engraved on a ribbon on it.
