PAGE SIX Key West Society Turned Out To Witness Annual Fashion Show Fashion Show, by the Senior and Junior Women’s Clubs of Key| West, was held last evening at the Casa Marina.

As in previous years, the show was for the benefit of the Key West very praise- wortay and necessary institution | founded and maintained by the} Women’s Clubs. A more beautiful setting than that of last night could hardly be imagined. A brilliant ‘moon lit up the scene setting the stage for one of the Island City’s most colorful events. It was a per- fect setting for a fashion show with the broad steps leading down from the loggia of the Casa Marina through the tropical gar- dens to the sea. The palm trees, lining the path, were decorated with various colored lights with the spectators ated on each side. It mac very beautiful picture as each model came into view om the top step framed by the way of the loggia. Each model proceeded down the steps and halfway along the path; at that time the next model appeared. A great deal of credit is due the girls for the very ef- fective way in which they modeled the beachwear and gowns. Several show and wonderful The annual sponsored Library, a a hundred attended the emed to have a Earl Johnson did a ve apable job of an- nouncing h model, describing the costume and naming the store from which it originated.

The detailed statistics placed in the Congressional Record for benefit Congress, by Senator Pepper, showed that in spite of all the cor ons granted on Cuban end in spite of the tremendous imports resulting therefrom, the United State ill has a serious trade disadvantage purchasing much more from Cuba than Cuba purchases from the United States. The Florida Senator inserted an article from leading sugar acazinedinaicat gas pointed ae that while the concessions to Cuba were granted in order to increase their purchases, these same concessions meant decreas- ed production and decreased pur chasing power in the United States. It was pointed out that if our own people were permit- ted to produce they would pur- chase more in return than do the Cubans, hence the concessions to Cuba tended to decrease rather than stimulate trade. ; “As we-are getting practically |3,000,000 tons of sugar from Cuba {and the Philippines, it would tseem that the common-sense thing to do is to allow the cane |and beet growers of the United States to gradually increase their | production”, the article to which | Pepper called attention said. “The quota on Cuban and Philippine that produc of sue SUGAR IMPORTS 8. tates purchased more | ess during the} limitations plac- !
