‘SENTS INFORMATION PELATIVE TO UNITED SERV- National Catholic Com- inity Service Advisory Board, its regular meeting Sunday wishes to present the ing information regarding U.S. O. to the people of Key What is the U. 8. 0.7 is an organization set up to erve the recreational, welfare ind spiritual needs of young men’ military camp communities. 2, Who comprises its member- agencies; these are: The M. C. A, the National Catholic mmunity Service, the Jewish elfare Board, the Y. W. C. A., Salvation Army, and the Na- “3 ES gear Aid Association. 3 Who will operate the U. S. O. building? i Responsibility for operating a iven building will be assigned by the U.S. 0. to one of the par- ticipating agencies, 4 What will actually go on in aU. S, O. building? _. ‘There will undoubtedly be dif- .ferences in programs, depending -upon which of the organizations “is operating each of the build- ings, but the agencies together will aim to conduct social, rec- Teational and religious activites such as would be carried pn in home communty centers for young men. 5. How will this work be staffed? ‘This is the most important question of all. The work of the U. S. O. will succeed only.as it en- lists men and women who in themselves embody the _ ideals and spirit of the religious organ- izations they represent and who by character, temperament and training are qualified to work ac- ceptably and fruitfully among youth. A special committee on personnel of the U. S. O} is form- ulating personal requirements. Each agency shall recruit, train and supervise its own personnel. 6. Are other ¢ivie groups or agencies allowed the use of a U. S. O. building? Yes, all are welcome, but all activities or programs must have the approval of the agency who is responsible for the running of the building. ; ; | te WELCOME NEW PASTOR AT CATHOLIC CHURCH On Friday evening, August 8th. ‘ the parishioners of St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church gath- ered in St. Cecilia's Hall, at the Convent of Mary Immaculate, to welcome their new pastor, the Rev. Thomas Atherton, 8. J., who has recently assumed his duties | here. ‘ Mrrs. Jack Baker, Grand Regent | of the Catholic Daughters of Am- erice, delivered the address of | weleome, which was followed by a short musical program, consist- ing of piano solos by Miss Beatrice Moreno vocal numbers by Mrs. Charles McCoy and Mrs. Eva War- ner, and a majorette march by tiny Miss Patsy Wood. A light refreshment course was served after the program. Father Atherton comes to Key West from the Church of the Most Holy Name, New Orleans, where his many friends deeply regretted his departure. But his new parishioners feel that the loss to New Orleans is a gain to Key West. ‘ MANY TRADE INS ON AUTOMOBILES “Trading of Babies” with Dea- con Jones at Twins Used Car Lot over the week-end resulted in| quite a number of Key Westers/ becoming the proud fathers of | nice looking automobiles. According to the results of the trades, customers of Deacon Jones received the best end of the bar- gain in all of the deals made as) the Deacon was extremely anxi- ous to find good homes for the large number of cars brought here from Miami before the advent of new 1942 models soon to be placed on the market, This week the used car lot has many splendid buys for those in- terested in the purchase of a car. The lot is located at Division and Simonton streets instead of Divi- sion and Duval as stated in Satur- day's advertisement. a ( B Chris Cummings of Omaha | sued Luther Creek for $1,000, ; charging that when their dogs fought his wife was knocked down and injured so severely that she SHORT SHORT-STORIES MARK TWAIN ON ADVER- TISING—When the great humor- ist was editor of a Missouri paper a reader wrote in to say that he had found a spider in his paper, and would the editor please tell him if this was a sign of good Twain replied: “Finding a spider in your paper was nei- ther good luck nor bad luck for you, The spider was merely looking over our paper to see which merchant is not advertis- ing, so that he can go to that store, spin his web across the door, and lead a life of undis- turbed peace ever afterward”. MODELS THAT STARTED A WAR—When the French Revolu- tion broke out in 1789, a mob broke into the famous waxworks of Madame Tussaud in’ London and carried off the models of Necker, the French minister of finance, and the Duke of Orleans, who were popular heroes at the | time. The figures were sarvied | Sunrise i through the streets, all passers- by being forced to take off their hats to them. A riot occurred the soldiers were called out and the wax models are noted in his- tory as causing the first blood- shed of the Revolution. Light, to a painter, is often the | governing thing, - and —redeems anything that is capable, of re- demption, There is a story told of the famous English painter, Reynolds, that when someone came to sit to him in a very} ugly hat, he said, “Never mind; there's light and shade on it”. Those good oid days were simpler days, simpler in _more| than one sense, sometimes. There | is actual record, and that not so| very long ago, when a proposi- | tion to light the streets of a cer- tain litlte town was opposed by the common council on the ground that thieves would be en- | abled to see when they were| watched and consequently it) would be impossible to catch | them at night! ; PROMPTLY, TOO—India is} the place to find English—mur- | dered. One native with a smat- tering of English sought English business with this kind of a sign | over his door: Mooka Sing and Co., Merchants | Customers sending orders will be promptly executed | LIBERTY OR DEATH—“Lib- erty or Death!” shouted the mob trying to break into the strike-| bound factory. The policeman at the gate held up his gun, and} said, “I don't know about the liberty, fellers; but if you come} a step farther, I'll show you what | death is”, Epitaph of a doubtful in a country churchyard: “Too: bad for Heaven, too good for Hell; So where he’s gone I cannot tell.” case Two men running opposite ways round a corner bumped into each other, ' “Ouch!” said one, “you made | my head ring”. “That's a sign it’s hollow”. “Doesn’t yours ring?” “No”, “That's a sign it’s cracked”.
