Members Aiding City » Dr. Gekeler then went on to sk several members what they| were doing to better the com- unity outside of their bread- @rid-butter work. As a whole the BASwers were very encouraging with members active in from three to four outside endeavours tach In discussion Sebastian Ca- brera informed the group that talks with high government! officials he believed definitely that Key West would get a perm- gnent Naval Base here. The club donated $25 toward the Key West Historical Pageant. Tt.also gave $25 toward the pur- thase of 2,000 flags to be distribut- to school children on the sevelt line of march.

Mr. Nich- ols said he came to Key West to get well and that he was “getting well”. Gene W. Ross of Los Angeles, California, said that he was sur- ised to hear the ill reports of ey West which are prevalent in other cities.

Doc. Baker of Williamsville, N. Y., said that he has just got- ten a report that there is three feet of snow in his backyard and ‘that although he had heard many reports of being snowed in, a friend of his has just written that fhe was “snowed out’—being un-! able to put his car in his garage or enter his home from the height of the snow drifts.

Peter Doelger mately 4,000 school children with! American and Cuban flags, eag- erly awaiting the signal for ac-} ; tion. ' When the signal was given the ‘WPA Hospitality Band began to play “Hail To The Chief”, which was followed directly by the singing of the pupils of that cheering number, “Happy Days Are Here Again”, led by George Mills White, director of the Fed- eral Music Project. Presidential Car Moved Fast The passing of the President’s and his party was so swift that there was little time for the sing- ing group to finish its song be-, ifore the presidential party was) far away down Division Street and was passing the Convent of, Mary Immaculate:.where there was another group of, pupils awaiting to bid a cheerful wel- come to the President and his, party. On down to Duval street where} another asemblage of grown-ups) and children, waving flags and, banners and shouting cries of welcome, while the great execu- tive waved his hand continually to the group and flashed his fa- mous smile. Onlookers In Gay Mood All along the line were gaily dressed children as well as the older folks, alive with the feel- ing of this great event, and cheers mace the welkin ring. at each passing of the official cars, and there was not one moment from when the parade started until the naval station was reached that the ringing of cheers and the singing of different ,groups did not keep alive the feeling of excitement which pervaded the ‘throngs, estimated to be at least. 12,000 and many. of them visi- tors. Colored children and. teachers {from the Douglass School were ‘assembled at Stowers Park and there was no doubt in the minds ‘of those who saw the happy ex- pressions of their faces and the sincerity of their greetings. Checks Arrangements Colonel Edward Starling, chief of the White House secret serv- Vice detail, arrived here shortly before noon yesterday, checked arrangements at the naval station for the President’s reception with Lieut. Fort Callahan and pronounced everything OK, ex- cept one thing: “We've got to install a special ; private wire from the naval sta- tion to Washington so the Presi- dent may talk with his advisers ‘before he boards the Houston”, the colonel said. Upshot of this statement was that Lieut. Callahan arranged for the wire service: and, decided , to install the telephone jn the quar- ters normally oceupied. by . Lee Pierce, aide to ,the officer in charge of the station. Entrance to the office was found to :be some three feet above the side- walk alongside the duty office, so carpenters immediately began construction of a ramp for the President’s use. “This is the first time I’ve ever been called upon to give up my office for the President of the United States”, Aide Pierce de- clared. “That’s something I'll al- ways be able to tell about”.
