PAGE FOUR -: SOCIETY -:-: MUSICAL SHOW TO BE PRESENTED AT LOCAL NAVY BASE The famed smooth and jive rhythms of “Music by Masters” will feature a special program for service men or the Key West area in the new theater at the Naval Operating Base here. It will be a performance by Frankie Masters and His Orchestra, nationally- known artists of stage, screen, radio and night-club reputation. This band that can play the blues with the best of them ap- pears here Nov. 30 under the aus- pices of the Coca Cola Company and will not be broadcast al- though the band’s offering at Pensacola Nov 4 was one of Coca Cola’s “Spotlight Band” series. Frankie Masters hit the big- time circuits about ten years ago when he was featured at the Hotel Taft in New York city. At that time he was on a daily coast- to-coast hookup and since then has presented his organization’s talents in most all of the top- notch clubs and dance pavilions of the nation. Although no definite program has yet been announced, this “Music by Masters” is expected to give all local lovers of popular selections an unforgettable hour of enjoyment. Masters has in his repertoire everything from the low-down blues of Basin Street to the best-known classics and all are arranged in his own distinc- tive manner. MARRIAGE MART Beatrice Alice Knight, 16, of Miami, and Harry Ralph Rob- erts, 18, of Key West, were mar- ried yesterday afternoon by County Judge Raymond R. Lord. COUNCIL TAKES UP (Continued from Page One) being made, but concluded by saying that he did not favor drop- ping the matter entirely, but what was needed was the neces- sary equipment and definite ac-|} tion in connection with a better garbage-disposal system. The matter was laid over for further consideration. A letter was read from the head of the Naval Hospital calling attention to the matter of taxi drivers overcharging passengers taken to and from, the hospital. The matter was referred to the taxation committee. A letter was read from the Board of Public Works concerh- ing repairs to be made at one of the gates in the cemetery. The board advised that work would be started in making the neces- sary repairs as soon as possible. A resolution was adopted re- questing the secretary of the State Board of Medical Examiners} to endeavor to have a temporary permit granted to Dr. Eduardo Gonzalez and Dr. Jose Portela to practice their profession in Key West during the emergency on account of the shortage of doc- tors in this. city at the present time. The doctors in question are graduates of the University of Havana, but have never been ‘declared American citizens in ac- cordance with existing laws. An ordinance relative to tear- ing up streets and sidewalks in putting down pipe, requiring that a bond be posted in all cases as a guarantee that the streets will be placed back in their original con- dition, was passed on its final reading. Insurance His car had taken fire, and was destroyed. It being insured, he went at once to the insurance of- fice and demanded his money. He was given a form to fill out, and was told he could not get the money, but that the car would be replaced. “Oh,” said he, “if that’s the way you do business give me back the premium I paid the other day on} my wife's policy.” IN THREE GROUPS CHICAGO — Geographers or- dinarily divide the South Sea Is- lands into three groups—Poly- nesia, Melenesia and Micronesia. REHEARSAL TONIGHT FOR NAVY SHOW Reports from the Defense Rec- reation Office at the County Courthouse are quite enthusias- tic in regard to the Navy-spon- sored Show, “Hi Ya, Mac”. Rehearsals are now in prog- ress, the next one to be held this evening at 7:30 o’clock, Key West talent for this Mu- sical Revue is responding well and combined with members of the enlisted forces, among whom are outstanding performers, it is bound to be good, it was predict- ed today. “We are fortunate to secure the srevices of Leon Kramer and Pepito DePoo, showmen of long standing,” Mrs. Eva Warner, rec- reation head, said today. “These performers are not only assisting in the show but have given the; Habana-Madrid Club as a facility | for the nightly rehearsals. | “There is room for talented | persons, who will be welcomed | for this show, or others that are | to follow.” i MONROE DEFENSE COUNCIL NOTES E. P. WINTER. Executive Director AA TTS At a regular meeting of the Monroe County Defense Council held last evening at their office, §22 Southard street, the resigna- tions of Chairman Everett W. Russell, Commander Action Divi- sion, Col. L. C. Brinton, and Chair- man Division Information, Educa- tion and Morale E. A. Ramsey, | were presented. In the absence of Mr. Russell, the meeting was presided over by E. P. Winter, Executive Director, and the resignations were ac- cepted. The inability on the part of Mr. Russell ard Mr. Ramsey to give the necessary time to Defense Council matters, were the reasons for their resignations. Vice Chair- man A. L. Murray will auto- matically become Chairman of the Defense Council and Col. Brin- ton’s position as Commander Ac- tion Division will be temporarily assumed by E. P. Winter, Ex- ecutive Director. Because of other duties requir- ing his full time, F. O. Eberharat, Senior Warden, found it neces-! sary to resign and Frank Gato, Warden District No. 6, was ap- pointed Senior Warden. The meeting was attended by | Colonel Waite, U.S.A., and Capt. | Quisenberry, Eng. Corps, USA, | and Lieut. A. D. McMaster, U.S.N. and all-offered fullest cooperation of their respective branches to the activities of the Defense Coun- cil. The important functions of the Defense Council will be carried on without alteration, and the Tuesday night meetings of the Council's Control Center will con- tinue as usual. Resolutions expressing thanks and appreciation of the Coun- cil to Chairman Russell, mander Brinton, Mr. Ramsey, | and Mr. Eberhardt, were passed. | | Com- |} Calm and Dumb — asta Dimchurch—“He’s_ one man who keeps his head when all around him are losing theirs.” Bungwit—“Yes, he’s so dumb he has no idea what the excite- ment’s all about.” .

Bassett "#eivil_en- gineer, employed by the Stand- ard Dredging Company, was the victim last night: of a hit-and-run driver, who raced away while Bassett was pleading to him to take him to a doctor. Bassett’s car was stalled on White street, between Flagler avenue and the waterfront, and he was-trying to push it when he was struck by another automo- bile and had his left ankle so badly broken the bone extended through the flesh. The car that struck him stop- ped and the driver got out. It was then that Bassett appealed to the driver to take him, Bas- sett, to a doctor. The driver evi- dently was so excited he hardly when he saw the condition of Bassett’s ankle, the driver ex- claimed, “My car, won’t run!” Immediately on his saying that, he jumped into his car and drove away. A woman who was riding with Bassett called up Pritchard’s Funeral Home. He was taken to | the Marine Hospital in the Pritch- ard ambulance.

J., Nov. 18.— Mpnroe F. Dreher has a lot of money tied up in banks, which wouldn’t be unusual except that the oftener it occurs, the happier | it makes him. Dreher, New York advertising man, possesses one of the coun- try’s most complete collections of antique mechanical banks, in- genious, cast-iron contraptions that do everything but reach in your pocket for the money. The banks represent a slice of authentic Americana—they were manufactured for a period of only 30 years, and they have not been duplicated since 1900. Dreher has 61 different: tnddels. Collectors value them at frém $3 “to $60 each. Older residents will recall some of the models—Jonah and _ the Whale, in which a coin is placed in Jonah’s hands, a lever is tripped and the whale gets the coin. Jonah gets away. In others, a mother eagle drops a coin into a nest of hungry eaglets, a base- ball pitcher flips a coin at a bat- ter, who misses, and the coin drops in a slot. All of the banks |—some of them 50 years old—! i are in working order. Dreher’s children don’t use the Dreher has discovered a practical side to the hobby.
