PAGE FOUR ‘Night In Haband’ Hage Success Fifth Annual “Night in Ha- bana” is now history. But, ac- cording to eye-witnesses at the performance last night, it didn’t become so without a universal vote in favor of its being the greatest of them all. Chilly though the night was, the Habana-Madrid Club was jammed to overflowing by the time the first of a full one-and- ‘one-half hours round of acts was staged. The program, as an- nounced yesterday, was inter- spersed with surprise numbers in addition to the many acts re- hearsed and presented in finished style. Loud praises were heard on all sides for the beautiful decora- tions provided. Notice of the Cuban Village created by visitor Cyrus Porter, oi New York, had been spread around town, and the attendants at the affair com- mented on the unique creation enhancing the already pleasing tropical setting of the club patio. Proceeds, as announced, of the “Night In Habana”, go to pur- chase recreational equipment for the city parks.

It appeared that the Scandinavian countries would not allow a violation of their neutrality by letting armed troops traverse their countries. A great naval action may be the means of getting material aid to the Finns. Some thought the RAF, would be pressed into service to transport war materials and men, Finland’s firm stand. has_ en- tered into the picture to assure that Russia will not get any “too much of the bargain for peace”.

STILL THINK U.S. MAY MEDIATE PEACE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Mar, 9.—Pres- ident Roosevelt’s secretary, Ste- phen Early, today told the press that the State Department had not yet closed the door to the proposition of bringing peace to Europe: Silence met the question as to whether Roosevelt might yet be called on to mediate the Russo- Finnish peace gesture, which led many to believe that there is a _ chance for that eventuality. Secretary Hull stated today that “all was a condition of flux and fog” in dispatches coming from Europe, translating to mean that it was hard to ‘know just | what was happening—what dis- patches were mere rumors or ANSWERS TO TODAY’S DAILY QUIZ Below are the Answers to Today’s Daily Quiz printed on Page 2 1, Six—one each in Treasury, War, Navy and Commerce departments and two in Justice.

Iam »saddenéed by the news that our American Poet-Lauriate has departed this life, for he was fa dear friend of mine—and a guest at my home in Washington, D.C. He was always jolly and filled with the joy of life, but he lived in his poetic dreams. How well I remember him at Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, when he-was first becoming’ fa- magus. | Hudson Maxim, another great an and inventor, loved Edwin. ‘arkham and built a little house for him on the side of the moun- ; tain, above his own “Castle”. I} used to see the then budding poet walking back and forth on} his veranda, quoting to his wife, | who wrote down his beautiful words as they passed his lips. Hudson Maxim gave a dinner party one night at which Edwin Markham was the guest of honor. im was proud of his ability to boil beans in a pot hanging ona erane over the open fire-place. But Mr. Maxim also was a poet, a user of big words, for he had been a school teacher in his earlier days before his “Maxim Gun” made him famous. He! claimed that he had placed four | newly-coined words for the un- abridged dictionary. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN IN MEMORY OF EDWIN MARKHAM - Well, that evening it seemed not so much to honor Edwin Markham as to read his own poems as an improvement to “The Man With The Hoe”. Mr. Markham was.restless and annoyed and tried two or three times to leave, but Mr. Maxim would shout, “Sit down, Mark- ham”, while he continued to rea his new wording of that thinbu poem. ae | I could also write bask eet ing story about 4 for I lived near his 8 when at Lake Hopatcong and was a guest at his Brooklyn residence. T shall miss Edwin Markham, for I wanted to call upon him once again at his home on Staten Island. He is not dead, his beau- jtiful poems will remain with us for many years to come. My own little verses will apply to the great poet whom I so dearly loved. There is no death, there is only birth; We go beyond, as we came to earth— Leaving behind what was need- ed here, And passing on to a fairer there. | | All that we take with us as we| - go Is what we have learned— We reap as we sow.

NYA TRAINING PROVES ITSELF BOYS IN PRIVATE INDUSTRY KEEP POSITIONS: NYA OPENINGS NOW “It is surprising to know that a greater number of youths for- merly enrolled with the National | Maxim;}Youth Administration locally have been absorbed by private employment in the past two months than ever before in a similar period of time”. This statement came out of an interview with the local NYA Area Supervisor, Victor Lowe, who added that “private employ- ment is rapidly absorbing youth labor and that everyone’ of the | youths employed have been able | to retain the work assigned to them with the necessary amount of efficiency and skill”, The training given these youths by NYA is proving to be a great asset in the moulding of their in; dividual characters and prepar- ing them for the gradual accept- ance of life’s problems in the daily battle for existence. It is also learned that in find- ing private employment for these | youths a‘large number of vacan- cies have occurred in the local National’ Youth Administration | and sincé there have been a num- The RENDEZVOUS 410 Fleming Street 00-0 WHERE GOOD FOOD MAY BE OBTAINED is o—o—o Cocktail Lounge Lopez Funeral Service Established 1885 Licensed Funeral Directors and Embalmers 24-Hour Ambulance Service Phone 135 Night 696 TRY IT TODAY— The Favorite in Key West STAR > BRAND CUBAN COFFEE ON SALE AT ALL GROCERS REVIVAL AT UPTOWN|* Rev.
