THE WEATHER FORECAST (Till 7:30 p. m., Wednesday) Key West and Vicinity: Gen- erally fair tonight and Wednes- day; not much change in tem- Honored Guest At WPA Supper (By Associated Press) | Today Ward is a supervisor of. the Graphic Art Division of the New York project, and through his courtesy we are able to view his work. Dan Rice, born in New York, studied for a short time at Cooper Union, later at the Am- erican Artist’s school. His wood- engravings show dynamic black and white force. Specializing in portraying the working man, his life, work and problems makes jhis works most distinctive. In his work the delicate white lines .which mark the use of a fine burin, distinguishes wood- engraving from wood-cuts. The wood-cutter uses a knife to cut away the parts of the block not to be printed, resulting in more uneven lines which has little of the spontaneity and freedom which the finer tool affords the wood-engraver. All exhibitions and services at the Key West Art Center are free to the public and visitors to the city are cordially invited to {visit the Gallery.

TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY By RUSSELL KAY The box-scores on the guber-: natorial race show Spessard Hol- land winner for the first heat by a couple of lengths, which was the wrong answer according to my figures—but it only goes to Prove that just because a guy writes for the papers is no sign he can be depended upon as a crystal gazer. However, my jsuess was fairly accurate as to the other contestants and I did pick the two men in the run-off, which is some consolation. As far as the senatorial melee is concerned, I'm deeply grateful to Senator Andrews for sustain- ing my prediction so forceful! Fred Cone fooled me again this time just like he did when he ran for Governor, while Jerry Carter proved that he still kno his way around in the back- woods. But the one guy in the first primary who sure-nuff smeared all prognostications was Bernarr Macfadden—that’s one candidate I'm through taking LIBERTY with. Now if any of you folks are sitting around waiting for me to provide you with a form chart on the second primary, you are going to be disappointed. While I do have some personal ideas about what is going to happen, if I keep ‘em to myself nobody can charge me with leading inno- cent victin astray or prove how wrong I was. Of course, if you admire Con- jfucius and-believe in his psy- chology,-they tell me that .Con- first primary always come first in second primary”. While a lot of folks who their politics seriously are ting terribly steamed up some of ‘em are snarlin’ gnashin’ their teeth, I find averas citizen is still going jabout his business and is not viewing the situation with any degree of alarm. Ill admit the {opinion of the grocery clerks is pretty well divided, depending upon whether they work for a chain store or any independent, and certain selfish interests are squealing like stuck pigs. But run-of-the-mill voters are stili calm and can be counted on to go to the and mark their bal- lots for the candidates who, in ‘their honest <opinion, are best take get- and and the & Efact,@ lot of ple are firm in the belief that Holland should )be governor while, on the other hand, an equally fine crowd of folks are just as convinced that the man we need is - Francis Whitehair. Both groups are en- titled to their opinion. Political difference is a good thing as it tends to stimulate interest in government. Our greatest prob- lem and the Sne to worrf about is political indifference: With the choice now limited to two in each race, the matter of making an intelligent decision should not be as difficult as it ‘ lwas when the ballot was all clut- | Bridger. tered up with names. During the next six days you will have} an opportunity to see and hear! both candidates and in fairness to yourself and your state you should make it a point to do so, and you should vote as your own good judgment dictates.
