PAGE TWO The Key West Citizen | WHEN THE BAND BEGINS TO PLAY! | The Citizen is a bit belated in ex- tending best wishes and a cordial welcome - to the 265th Regimental Band under di- rection of our good friend, Warrant Of- ficer Caesar La Monica. Of course, we! | greeted the National Guards when they i | encamped last week and wished them suc- SERIOUS ISSUES AHEAD cess with their training period.

The whole town, it seemed like, turned out to the con- certs in La Concha park last week and last night to hear La Monica’s talented bands- mer—and they liked every bit of the ex- cellent programs given, right down to the final, fading bars of the National Anthem. Incidentally, here’s where the Rec- reation Committee realized something on their efforts last winter when they strug- | gled to provide this center, only to find that servicemen didn’t approve of it. It’s proven a wonderful location in which to | hold these band concerts—centrally lo- | cated as it is, and will, no doubt, prove its | worth in many other ways as the seasons | advance. The Citizen is pleased, too, to note | that there is noticeably less noise at the | band concerts than heretofore.
