Charles E. Smith, of the Chamber of Com- merce, announced that the cham- ber would act as the official sponsor for the concert. Mrs. Haydn Illingworth was elected as chairman of the Spon- soring Committee, and a_ pro- gram of promotion for the local support of the movement was outlined and adopted. This will be the initial appearance of a full symphony orchestra in this city. | All that is needed to assure! Key West a new standing in the music world is the show of ap- preciation, which is already as- sured. This event marks one more step forward for Key West in its cultural standing among the cities of Florida, it was explained by the committee. Announcement Of Marriage Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Taylor, of Key West, today announced the marriage of their daughter Miss Barbara Taylor, to Jack Hopper, of Saginaw, Michigan. | The wedding was solemnized in Springfield, Ohio, on the eve- ning of May 18. { secce wevecce THE WEATHER Seeeeessconseceeseoeesee Temperatures” 86 78 82 80 Highest Lowest Mean Normal Mean T.

The Key in other words, We Want Our Federal Arts Projects. Efforts to curtail goverrimental expenditures should be governed by sound discretion; the Byrnes Bill should be amended to include the Federal Arts Projects.
