Noticeable was the opinion expressed by all that they wished not to violate any laws of the city. What they were at a loss to understand, however, was the law it- self. It appears that, with very few ex- ceptions, other navy towns don’t have city auto licenses, and it appeared navy men here to acclimate hard hemselves to for the idea of paying for the privilege of op- erating their autos in this city.

A FLOWER SHOW —Paintings of flowers from many states are now on exhibition at the Art nter. Wherever this exhibition been shown, the local Garden Clubs have given it special at- tention and in most cities the clubs have held notable social gatherings to view these parti- cularly beautiful flower paint- ing The Key West Art Center especially invites all those people of Key West noted for their love ef flowers to visit the galleries during the next three weeks and enjoy this display. The exhibition was arranged by the National Art Program, Works Projects Ad- ministration, and is being circuit- ed through Flcrida by the Flor- ida Art Project, WPA. DURING THE PAST three weeks the Art Center held a spe- cial display t> popularize the work of artists in the Commercial | field. It was entitled the “Prod- ucts and Processes of the Art, Center”. The idea was to ac- quaint business people in Key West with the possibilities in the juse of simple art processes such, |as are used at the Art Center for | jart service to public agencies. There are a number of artists | right here in Key West able and | willing to give such art service to private business. Since the re- sponse at the galleries was some- what limited, as demonstrated by the low attendance, the Key West Society of Artists is being | requested to arrange the display | of these processes in a promin-} ent Duval streeet store window jin the near future. In this way |the ideas may be better brought directly to the attention of busi- ness people. | RRR st SERS ROE | BIRFH ANNOUNCEMENT Smiths Have Girl | Mr. and Mrs. Cecil E.
