PAGE FOUR FALSE RUMORS ABOUT CUBANS’ STAY IN CITY MEMBERS OF MILITARY BAND AND LIONS CLUBS SHOWN} EVERY COURTESY BY oF-| PICIALS HERE Attention of The Citizen has been called to rumors that have been circulated recently con- cerning the alleged lack of at- tention paid to the members of the Cuban Military Band and delegate members of Cuban Lions | clubs—both groups visitors in this city last Saturday evening. Investigation has proved def-| initely that no basis of fact ex- ists in the rumors as circulated. Chief reason for the visit of the Cubans was the strike con- dition existing on the P. & O. S. S. line which made it necessary for the delegates and band mem- bers, both returning from the Lions. International Convention in Pittsburgh, Pa., to seek other means of returning to Cuba. The band composed of some eighty members, chartered buses from Miami to come here to meet a Cuban gunboat which was to arrive early Saturday evening. Delegates to the number of twen- ty-eight, hearing that the. gov- ernment of Cuba had ordered the band to Miami, decided to come along and take chances on getting transportation on the same boat. The Cuban consulate here was advised that the band would be} in town awaiting the boat, and| every attention was given them by both Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Perez. Contrary to reports, none of the men, nor their wives, were without any care that they might | have desired. Baggage of both band members and Lion delegates was imme- diately taken to the dock to, await the boat. preferred to be on hand when the boat arrived in order to lose | no time in negotiating for trans- | The delegates | SCHALLER ‘DEAD’ BUT STILL LIVES WRITES LETTER INFORMING COMMERCE BODY SEC- | RETARY OF FACT | | “The cause of wildlife conser- | vation in South Florida has had {no more consistent and intelli- gent advocate than Herbert’ L. |Schaller, Miami. Plumbing In- \spector” says the secretary of the Key West Chamber of Com- merce. “When courage was need- ed ‘Herb’ had that too.” When the secretary read in the Miami papers that Mr. Schaller; |had passed on to the reward awaiting all good Game Commis- |sioners he remembered the many | years of helpful cooperation and | wrote to another good friend, Newt Lewis, for details. Today life around the offices of |the Chamber of Commerce is a lot brighter since the receipt of the following letter; in reply to! the letter written to Mr. Lewis, |and is addressed to “Dear Steve”. “A look at the date and another at the signature will be sufficient evidence yours sincerely has not passed on to the ‘long sleep’ as |stated in the newspapers I’m probably one of the livest ghosts that ever haunted the souls ‘of men who are not. conserVation minded.

And such proved the case. | When the boat arrived at a late} expected much} hour, although earlier, the captain refused first to allow the delegates to ride. In the meantime, Gonzalo Bezanilla, member of the local} Lions club, had met some of the} delegates and had inquired whe-| ther anything could be done to help. One of the visiting Lions, Antonio Alfonso Rosello, noted newspaper man of Cuba, was per- sonally known to Lion Bezanilla, | who was assured that everything | was in order and that his and the! parties’ only desire was to ob-! tain transportation. That desire, | as stated, was the reason why the | group stayed at the dock. Lions Rosello and Bezanilla| telephoned Havana at about o'clock Sunday morning and ob- tained permission from the Chief of the Navy for the delegates to ride on the gunboat. Farewells were extended at 4 o’clock and the boat sailed shortly after— evergindy ba napey. SCOUT GROUP. HAS MEETING!
