ME-EXEMPTED PROPERTIES ON | DELINQUENT LIST TAX DEEDS ISSUED WILL BE JUST AS VALID AS THOSE ON OTHER PROPERTY BE- COMING DELINQUENT Approximately 100 parcels of home-exempted property are in- cluded in the 1,500 parcels that are delinquent in Monroe County, County Clerk Ross Sawyer said today. The fact that the amounts on the exempted property are small, some of them little more than $1, under the law, Mr. Sawyer pointed out, the tax deeds issued will be just as valid as those that will be given on property on which compara- tively large sums are owed. Mr. Sawyer stated that,besides those owners of exempted prop- erty who thihk they are not re- quired to pay any tax at all, there are other delinquents in that group who are under the impres- sion that their property has been redeemed, because the date of payment was made some time last | year. But, he added, the fact that the payment was made last year does not “mean-it was paid on 1941 taxes;:ag ja man can payytaxes to- day that were due many years go, In. that regard, Mr, Sawyer Fesstui Owners of ent ptop- ty sHould “look at’ their retéipts to assure themselves that the pay- ments they made last year include also the 1941 taxes. ‘NEW ORDER WOULD AFFECT CONDENSED MILK’ SHIPMENTS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS MAKING EFFORT TO PRO- TECT KEY WEST AGAINST RULING The Chamber of Commerce has been informed by a Key West! wholesaler that an order shortly will be issued stopping the ship- ment of any more of one brand of condensed milk to Florida. The order will be issued by | Secretary of Agriculture Claude} Wickard, who is also food admin- istrator, so the secretary of the chamber wrote to Mr. Wickard, informing him that condensed milk has been used extensively | in Key West for practically a century, and that it will be a hardship in this community if} that particular brand becomes} unavailable here, as that has been the brand that has been more] easily obtainable recently.

After properly dis- Posing of the “good nutrition” so generously provided by the ladies of the church, the assemblage recognized the services of those who had a large or small share in preparing the building for its present work. Among the or- ganizations and individuals hon- ored were: The Junior Christian Endeavor, a group of boys, the loyal ladies’ group and, in par- ticular, Mrs. George Archer, Jo- seph Boza, Percy Roberts and the former pastor, Rev. Edw. S. Doherty. Rev. Doherty brought a chal- lenging message during the eve- nin. Afterward, the pastor read j@ Statement of purpose-- which was then signed by those pres- ent.

Other sing- jing followed, including several ‘numbers by an army chorus and solos by Alvin C. Johnson of the Navy and the Rev. Reinke. Mrs. George Archer and Messrs. Boza and P. Roberts each made a short talk, telling a little of the work and plan- ning that had gone into the Cen- ter and their vision for its fu- ture. The Rev.
