Caro are , now} drawing up a new city charter, which Representative Bernice C. Papy will have passed in the next legislature. In discussing the proposed new charter today, Representative Papy said that wants it to represent the wishes of the ma- jority of the people in Key West, and, with that end in view, the public will be invited to an open meeting in the City Hall to dis- cuss the new provisions and come to an agreement on them. Mr. Papy added that, if one public meeting is not sufficient to reach a conclusion, he favors the holding of as many meetings as are required to gain that end. No date has yet been set for the consideration of the propos- ed new charter. As soon as the} attorneys have completed _ their work on it, the first public meet- ing will be announced in The Citizen.

Brown is somewhere in the South Pacific spreading his extra-wide grin around for the amusement {of American service men in the battle areas. He’s the first Hollywood actor to get down there, just as he was the first to get up There’s a special reason for this trip, though it won’t be just as funny as he knows how. It’s Joe’s boy Don. Don was in ; the ferry command and died in a crash. Joe was in Detroit playing in “The Show-Off” at the time, and when he heard the news he acted like any father. He didn’t say the show must go on. He just broke down and cried, and called off the show and flew home. When Joe plays the fox-hole cir- cuits down under, he'll be playing a memorial performance. eee Before he left, Joe finished up a picture called “Chatterbox” with Judy Canova, caught the Rose Bowl game to cheer his team —U. C. L. A—and took machine gunning lessons just in case he met a Jap or two en route. “Chat- terbox” is pure Brown-Canova comedy, full of the stuff that has made each of them famous — a yarn about a radio cowboy trying to get along in the movies when he’s never met a horse. It's just comedy — nothing about the war, nothing of social significance, nothing preaching anything. “We don’t aim it be- tween their ears,” as Joe puts it. “We aim it straight for their ab- domens.” He’d rather make peo-. ple laugh Hen Eeeca is fo recall Leah seas; that rent et trail as an acrobat. He ran-away from home in Holgte, Ohio, to do it for three: dallars a week. Most of his movies have at least one sequence in which he knocks himself around like a punching bag. But when you see the big Brown mouth — the same whose size once kept him out of a movie contract — it’s not easy to remem- ber that he first came to pictures in drama. He had death scenes in six of his first seven pictures. Even today, though a comedy star, he looks for characters to interpret rather than plots. No other. victure star could bring the boys down under more detailed sports lore than Brown. He's baseball crazy, football crazy, sports crazy. A whole room of his Beverly Hills home is set aside for a veritable. museum of sports trophies and mementoes. RETURNS $400 HE TOOK FORT WORTH, Texas...-~ Re; cently J. Frank Norris, pastor of the First Baptist Church here, re- ceived a letter from a former negro hotel porter, who asked aid in locating a man from whom he had taken $400 twenty-fours be- fore. The negro explained that he had “got religion.” The man was located and was identified as W. H. Sweetwood of Pittsburgh, Pa., who said he would buy war bonds with the money.
