PAGE FOUR SOCIETY :- Key West Players Return To Footlights Thursday With Plays On Thursday night of this week the Key West Players re- turn to the footlights, presenting three, one-act plays. These have been in rehearsal for a month and are in finished state, promis- ing good acting and entertain- ment. The first is the “Camberly Tri- angle”, and, as the title implies, the plot concerns the eternal tri- angle, two men and a woman in this case. The treatment is fresh and essentially comic. Jerry Bogart returns from the wars to find his wife, Mrs. White, entangled with the other man, Mr. Carleton. The “Undercurrent”, which is serious in theme, deals with the forces which sweep a girl from her home into the streets. James Gerberding, whom you remem- ber from “Squaring the Circle”, plays the deeply religious, but tyrannical and domineering fa- ther, who unknowingly is wreck- ing his daughters’ life, and from whom she escapes. The final play, “The House of Sodality Honored Mothers At Breakfast Sixty-one were present at the Mother’s Day Breakfast Sunday morning at the Ambassador Res- taurant, sponsored by the Catho- lic Daughte of America and the Young People’s Sodality of St. Mary's Star of the Church. The tables arranged in horseshoe with striking floral decorations of lilies, lark- spur and poinciana. Corsages of purple and yellow static preented to all the mothers and officers of each organization. Miss Dora the Sodality, gave a special tribute to mothers and commemorating the day. Mrs. H. K. Demeritt, Grand Regent of the Catholic Daughters, read a beautiful poem honoring the Mother of God, and Rev. P. J. Kelleher, S.J., spoke a few words upon the occasion. The program ended by all singing the Sodality Song, “Christ the King”, and “Mother Beloved”. Members attending and guests included Mrs. H. O. Russell, Miss Mar- tha Rus: Mrs. Wm.

Dear Sir: As President of the Florida State Bar Association I am writ- ing to submit for your considera- tion some facts pertaining to the amendment of our constitution providing for a seventh Justice of our Supreme Court, which will be balloted upon by the peo- ple of Florida at the General Election next November. We need seven Justices in or- der to work out the impossible situation of three to three deci- sions now existing and also to aid in expediting the work of our court. Our Supreme Court decides more opinions per judge than any Supreme Court in the United States and their docket is run- ning nearly a year behind. The seventh Justice-would permit a division of the Supreme Court in- to two divisions thus splitting up the work. This would greatly benefit the citizens of Florida and prevent delays of justice. Twenty years ago six justices of the Supreme Court could de- leide the cases presented to them without difficulty. Since that time Florida has grown so rapid- ly in population and _ business has increased to such an extent that it is now impossible for six justices to decide the cases brought to them without over- work and undue delay. Florida is a progressive state. The population and business are constantly increasing. Legal de- lays in our Supreme Court may tend towards checking the de- velopment of our state unless they are remedied and I know of no better way to remedy the sit- uation than to provide for a seventh justice, which will re- sult in greater output of work, thus bringing the docket up to date, and providing more speedy decisions for our citizens. I trust that you will use the influence of your paper to bring home to the people of Florida the absolute necessity of the adoption of this seventh Justice amend- ment. Business men and in fact all citizens of Florida cannot af- ford to continue to tolerate long delays in Supreme Court pro- cedure. This can be remedied very promptly by adopting the seventh Justice amendment per- mitting the division of the Court into two divisions. Yours very truly, D. H. REDFERN, President.
