THE ISLAND A NEAR TRAGEDY some weeks ago in a diving at- tempt by Gerald Pinder, dancing star of many of Key West’s birghtest floor shows. belonging to Willie Wickers and | was down around 35 feet below! for a hasty summation of figures,| Present were: the surface. Something he was carrying dropped on the bottom and Gerald bent over to pick i up. Unused to the rules of hel- met diving, Gerald did not think that bending over the water would flow into the helmet, which is open at the shoulder. Hardly having time to take a deep breath, Gerald threw the helmet off and swam frantically to the surface. He said he could see he was almost there when everything suddenly went black. The quick ascent and change of pressure had caused it. Above in the boat from which the air was being pumped, Harry Wickers, William Wickers’ son, noticed this shape floatit g some way below |the surface and taking no chance dove overboard after it. Finding it to be Gerald he hastily seized him and brought him into the boat, where it took some nifty first-aid to bring Gerald to. Ger-| ald is undaunted, though, and is not afraid to go down again. A CITIZEN |REPORTER bor- rowed the helmet from Wickers and going out to the shoals in front of Duval and Whitehead stre which are well marked with stakes, dropped overboard with a friend at the pumps. It s one of the most beautifil sights he had ever seen. As the helmet is placed over your head you hear the rush of air being pumped in.

'HIS little cottage with a low eave line and high pitched roof, without dormers, is remi- niscent of those found along the lanes of rural England. Because the form of the house is a simple rectangle and the roof is low and unbroken it is one that may be erected without penalty of extra con- struction cost. The house proper “con- tains” a garage, making it pos- sible to build it on a fifty-foot lot without having the back yard spoiled by a driveway. The living room is extra large, the dinette is almost a full din- ing room, and there is a thirty- | foot expanse of storage space under the front roof on the second floor. BACK FROM TRIP Mrs. Charles Aronovitz arriv-| ed in Key West last Saturday: from a full three weeks spent in New York City in the interests of Aronovitz Department Store. | Announcement is made by Mrs. | Aronovitz today of the highly successful trip, during which every department in the store received attention in regard to! new and modern merchandise. | “Mi-lady of Key West” will certainly be up-to-date during | the coming season if she concen- ! trates her buying at Aronovitz,! as an advance “peak” at the’ styles to be featured leaves noth- ing to be desired.

AROUND THE COUNTRY: New Jersey: Many of the fishing boats at Brielle a few miles from Bar- negat Bay, famous yachting cen- ter, fish in Miami waters during the winter and New Jersey wa-! ters for the summer. They are/ much prouder of their Florida} fishing though. In New Jersey, they catch sea bass, fluke, tuna, | bonito, mackerel. A big tuna catch as those 500 pounders you running around 15-20 pounds with occasional 100 pounders. | The big trouble in New Jersey | as in most places outside of the Florida Keys barrier reef section is that there are no reef shelters where fish can find protection and food, s° what do New Jersey fishermen do? Why about three ,;or four times each summer all the fishing boats load up with rock and scrap iron and other impedimenta and the fleet goes’ out to a designated spot about three miles off shore and drop, ,all their stuff overboard to form! an artificial reef. In Key West wet let nature do that little job. Famous Barnegat_Bay is dotted | with thousands of sailboats, in-| board and outboard speedboats | during the summer weekends. To |see a hundred sails in the blue haze of the horizon is a beauti ful sight. There are sneak boxes, which are almost flat, but slight- ly rounded. There are Comet classes by swanky Bay Head Yacht Club. There are short speed boats and long racy ones. The breezes are heavy and there are many upsets. The water from cedars along the shore is reddish | colored and mud banks are not! visible to the naked eye. There are many blue crabs at Manas-! quan inlet, which Key Westers ‘know as Sea Finicans. There are two candidates to be initiated, end the members of the degree team especially are re- qutéstedté be in attendance.

The group of talented ac- tors, led by promoter-mana- ger Alan Gray Holmes, will be remembered as those who coperated with the local Parent-Teacher Associations in presenting amateur per- fermances at Harris school during the past winter sea- son. The Red Barn Theatre is situated on the Boston Turn- pike in Westboro and is con- sidered by many, according to the article in the Gazette, as an important contribution to the entertainment field in that vicinity. It has a seat- ing capacity of three hundred and standing room only has been the going thing all sum- mer long. sf Many of those who /were. with Mr. Holmes in Key West last season are still with the troupe, including Miss Louise Galloway, who is director for the group, which numbers thirty. The Theatre opened July 2, 1938, and did fine in the first year. Followed the trek to Florida and Key West last winter.
