The meeting opened with a reading of minutes of the previous meeting by Mrs. E. J. Bayly, secretary. “Old Folks At Home,” followed with Mrs. A. D. Luethi, song leader.

The memorial will contain the world’s largest caril- lon composed of 75 tubular bells built for the Foster memorial. The cost will be $350,000.

Miss Cappick read two recent poems accepted by Expression, one “Gran’ma ‘Rina of Cayo Hueso” and “Chinese Auction.” An original short story, “He Paid With His Life,” from the pen of Mrs. Luethi was , read, much to the pleasure of those present.

They were already for an eve- ning of fun and frolic and that thé object of the evening ;was at- tained was evidenced by the sounds of hilarity and happiness which were heard - throughout the evening. The first act of the evening was the game of Heart and Mind, in which the assemblage kneeled in an immense circle and recited a verse of doggerel which was concluded with screams of laugh- ter which could be heard for the space of several blocks. Art Center Open On Saturdays Artists of the Key West Society of Artists have volunteered their time to extend the hours of open- ing at the Key West Community Art Center Galleries.

After the meeting Geo. M. Gray gave a very interesting talk on Photo-lithographic offset printing with many examples from his Games of various kinds were played during the evening, and at last the appetites of the as- semblage demanded refreshments and they gathered to roast wieners which were then placed between crisp and delicious rolls and trimmed with mustard and saurkraut. As the hour of returning to the city drew near the members of the party assembled in ‘the ‘cars and sang a number of delightful songs, interspersed with joyous laughter, until the time arrived for saying “good night”.

Locke and _ her two sisters, former residents, were visiting the city, and sus- pecting that they might be re- lated to him he called on them, and after “comparing their genealogies, found that all were descended from Captain John Locke, who had come from Eng- land in 1638, and settled near Portsmouth, N. H. In 1696 when reaping grain in his field he was killed by the Indians. After the Lockes left town, Miss A. M. Locke started cor- respondence with Rev. Maureau, who replied and’ forwarded clip- pings from The Citizen, which pleased and interested her, as it showed what Key West was in 1939. Recently she sent him con- gratulations for his birthday, 70 years, and a present, a booklet published in England, “The Life of Christ”, by Chinese Artists, reproduced from silk- paintings, secretary | CROWDED FOR ROOM Mrs. Maria Gutset the Mercedes Hospital, states that owing fo present conditions, . matron of | that it will be impossible to ac- | commodate-any more patients at this time. = Does Your Roof Leak?

Some years ago a very successful stage farce was written around the idea of a vice-president named Winterbot- tom who kept: wandering about his party headquarters and could find no one who knew or cared who he was. And, in actual his- tory, the vice-presidency has bee: used more than once to “get rid” of some man whom party leaders thought too troublesome. “Roose- velt the first is a case in point— he was kicked upstairs into the vice-presidency beca he had made many enemies as Governor of New York, and he very likely would have been doomed to ob- security had not McKinley’s assas- sination taken him to the White House. Garner io the Fore Now “Cactus Jack” Garner seemed to be the perfect stuff of which a run-of-the-mill vice-president should be made. An able con- gressman, with decades of serv ice behind him, he was known as a hard: but unspectacular worker. And “when he assumed his posi- tion of -viee-president, he seemed to fit well into the @lassic mold. A good disciplinarian and admin- istrator, he apparently took little part in politics. He wasn’t often the headlines. But now, times have dramatically changed, and it in around the genial, plain figure |; of Jack Garner that much of to- day’s most important political discussion is centering. He has become the great hope of the con- servatives in the Democratic arty—and the leader of a quiet put unrelenting “rightist rebel- lion” against the New Deal. Well Suited For New Role In the view of some of the most political commentators, the Vice-President is well suited to this new role. In origin, train- ing and experience he is the log- ical representative of those mil- li of people whom little is heard but who nonetheless hold the real balance of power in America—the merchant, the farmer, the rancher, the small town banker and lawyer and doc- tor. In political philosophy, he might be termed a conservative liberal—he believes reform should be achieved slowly and cautious- ly without disheartening or dis- couraging business. He has cer- tain gifts of immense political importance—a nerveless patience (it is cl tteristic of the man that he is called the best poker player in Washington, where fa- astute with most of the faces, clothing and background; fully in Chinese style. ; cratic ape erally regarded a: for the mous poker players abound); a vast knowledge of the technique: of political strategy; a talent for making friends; a ing. home-spun” personality; a knack individually phrase comments on events. The latter is illustrated by a remark he rumored to have made to President: “You've got to the cattle (meaning busine chance to put some fat on their bones”. Leads Pro-Economy Group It is around Garner that the po- tent pro-economy group of Demo cratic senators has gathered. He is very close to Senator Harrison who is leading the economy @ on the floor. He is strongly = favor of tax revision—though like the cagey politician he is, he does his talking in the privacy of his office, and not in public it is univ: ally reported that he was largely responsible for per uading the Senate to reduce the WPA appropriation asked by President, to the tune of 000,000. As Time observes, “Ex mary fact about the Garner Rebellion is that its leader doe: not for one minute expect te w its Economy object; at this session of C is biding his time, getting m licks, and planning for the ture. Highly significant is the £ that Garner now leads in all standard polls for 1940's De presidential nomination On the debit side is the fact that he is 70 now—an age that is gen- w for terse, One Price To All Tek TOOTH BR - 89e 50c size ‘i $1.00 SH, 5le 29c s 2 for 50c Wild Root HAIR TONIC, with oil 50c Prophylactic TOOTH BRUSH —and— 40c size Listerine TOOTH PASTE, - aaa ae Cara Nome FACE POWDER $1.00 | BRING YOUR PRESCRIPTION HERE | i i TO BE SURE THEY ARE FILLED BY!
