A city official told The Citizen that he and another Key Wester, who is now residing in Miami, leased the building, now known as Duffy’s Tavern, shortly before the beginning of the First World War, and installed t0 pool tables on the second floor and box ball alleys on the first floor. “We sold no liquor and permitted no gambling,” the official said, “yet we aver- aged an income of $700 a week. Armistice Day came just before our lease ran out, and we decided to go out of business unless we could rent the place thereafter on a month- ly basis. aovin “The owner agreed-to that rental, and, to make avlong ‘story’ short,"at thé end of four months our income from'fhe business dropped from $700 a week to between $15 and $20 a week. So we sold’our pool tables, some of them to the ‘Blks’ Club, .-and took. up our box ball alleys.’’ curing the early part of the summer. The fight will be between the Con- sepvatives, backing Churchill, and the La- borites, backing their own leaders. The .etlere of the coalition war government to egree upon its continuation until the end o. the war egainst Japan makes it neces- saey for the people of the islands to choose begween the parties.

One bright prospect for the postwar world has entered the pi¢ture, and if it be- comes a reality, it will help immeasurably ‘n the days when jobs are scarce. “What we need is ¢ntertainment for } ‘ourists,”” we have hears said repeatedly.
