FOLLOWING THROUGH By PEDRO AGUILAR [2 A EN SOFTBALL GAMES TONIGHT In the first game of the twin bill at Bayview Park tonight, the Machinists,, who are runners-up in the league, will play the Amer- | ican Legion ten. Legion has} strengthened its club and prob-| ably will give the Grease Mon-| keys a run for their game hon- ors. Lucilo will catch for the Legionnaires, Floyd or Frank} Tynes will pitch, McCardle will be first, Jack Villareal at second, | Armando Acevedo at short, with McCollough Lou Gonzalez, Tor- res, Kelly and Labrada will be in the outfield. This will give Le- gion a good ball club and the Ma- chinists will depend on Johnny alker in the boxy and Buster ‘oberts behind the plate. “Crip” Lastres will be at first for the (Grease Monkeys, \T.

Helleats and Flyers have not} lost a game and the winner to- night will be on top of the heap. | Simms of the Flyers and Graham of the Hellcats are both | great pitchers and in the last game Graham allowed but one scattered hit and that in the sev-| enth. Simms allowed the USS} Chewink but six scattered hits in tie.

This paper has never failed to pay any of its obligations when due and all ordinary obligations on the tenth of the month. It has been ever thus since the present publisher took over the paper 35 years ago. 400 Bucks A Lot Well, the die is cast for those property owners who have vacant lots in the city. The city may soon force you to clean up your lots four times a ‘year, | Karl Thompson recently paid $100 to have his lot on Eaton between Duval and Whitehead cleaned. The lowest price for a cleanup of the average vacant lot is about $40 or $50. Thus, there will be added to taxpayers’ expenses about $160 to $400 a year on each piece of vacant lot property you own. Another thing, this ordi- nance is proposed just for those property owners in the “heart” of the city and not everywhere within the city’s limits. I cannot but think this proposition is most unfair. It is quite well to urge cleanup of all sidewalks, vacant lots and otherwise but to urge that all vacant lots are to be cleaned up is quite unjust at this time. Here’s a good time to wish that. you don’t own property in Key West. Guns, Gurtts, Guns Heard a fantastic tale from a sailor boy the other day.

The visitors are bringing a pitcher named Manuel Sanchez, better known as Mongolo, whose father, Manuel Sanchez, is a Key Westers but who moved to Regla in 1900 and has lived there ever Manuel, Jr., was born in 1925 and is anxious to pitch against the Conchs. He has promised his father that he will try to beat the club from his old home town. “ Cnochs will probably be made up of such players as Philip Bak- er, Esmond Albury, Mario Her- nandez, Jim Albury, Joe Mira, Machin, Armando Acevedo, “Bub- ber” Sweeting Lynch, Jesus Gar- “Buster” Roberts, Joe Na- varro, Tony Castellano, Bethel, others.

That's about 2,- 400 personnel. These are expect- ed to get here about the middlé of January. The civilian ranks at the Navy Bases and Naval Air Stations are rife with rumors that soon civilians will be largely re- placed.

New Textbooks Florida’s public schools may be getting new textbooks if the State Board of Education accepts the recommendations of the Florida Courses of Study Committee. The committee’s recommendations, handed State Superintendent Colin English last week, included changes in fourth to sixth grade readers, fourth to sixth grade books on health, music, writing and science, sixth grade history and elementary school diction- ary. Florida material would be included in foutth grade social studies. Changes in secondary school textbooks are recommend- ed in mathematics, biology, ad- vanced general science, world history, world resoutees geogra- phy, seventh and éighth grade literature and studies in agricul ture and home ecdhothics. Inclu- sion of Latin-American material on people and ctistoms is recom- mended in Spanish. textbooks for the ninth through twelfth grades. The Spanish textbooks would also use the oral approach to instruc” tion. The study committee is com- posed of county school and college instructors and department of ed- ucation supervisors.
