The sheli is saved for ornamental purposes. . ° TENNIS COMES UP Look for early resumption of tennis here. Cost is only fifty cents an hour at night under the lights at Bayview Park and many tennis-minded fans who have been off to the wars are expected to return soon and make up ten- nis leagues. ° . CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA Interesting broadcast yesterday was the Al Pierce show, ,broad~ cast from California, and taking a trip to, of all places, Florida. Pierce is a veteran of the Pacific war and had recently returned to the Hir!*"He spoke of Visiting‘St’ Augustiné and the Everglades and Miami but missed Key West. ° e BALLPLAYER BROOKS One of the great ballolavess} old Key West' days is a big ed player named Brooks. He ;was in town the other day. Brooks was so tough that he often caught ball games with bare hands behind the plate and when you consider that the six-ounce base- ball is hard as a rock and when thrown from pitcher’s distance packs a wallop, your eyebrows should lift. Brooks was principally known as a pitcher and is now managing a colored baseball team which tours the country. Brooks was considered big league mate- rial. e e CLOCK SURVEILLANCE City Manager King was prowl- ing around the city hall yester- day. He squinted up at the tower clock, which keeps very indif- ferent time, tested a few doors. indy in general continued ac- quajnting himself with the city. . 5] e STOP SIGNS those of you who are won- dering why the city does not mark the fstop streets, a budget is be- ing’ prepared by the police de- partment and city clerk which in- cludes recommendations for the purchase of stop signs. Commis- sioner Sweeting has already pro- posed employment of a full-time sign painter to keep these signs up and already city forces have been painting yellow “no park- i curbs all over the city. There is hardly a civic move which one ean think of which is not being actively handled, with the excep-} tion of the larger municipal con- struction projects which will take time. e e $25 TO $50 APIECE Shortly the Advertise Key West Council will start their drive to collect funds for intensive ra- dio and newspaper advertising in Miami and some in Key West. The goal is $15,000. Occupational li- censes, which number about 1,100, are being examined and it is ex- pected that the merchants will be pro rated on a percentage of their occupational licenses. Thus it is not expected to be more than $25 to $50 for the entire year for a merchant. This is not bad, and you will receive tons of publicity for your money. e e PRAISES HOSPITAL C. A. Van Deursen, manager of the Key West Electric Com- pany, wishes to say that his treat- ment at the Municipal Hospital was one of the best received any- where. He tells me that he found the Hospital very clean, very nice service and attendance by the SOREL fully and courageous decided. Full information, ° ° CITIZENS MEMORIALS ...

Listed in “WHO'S WHO IN} AMERICAN ART” along with Walt Disney, Rockwell Kent, and Norman Bel Geddes, Di Negro once pursued house painting as a} means of livelihood, using his spare time for his art.

Mr. Di monotype, Cove”, was reproduced with orable comment in the roto-gray ure sections of some of our Iead- ing east coast newspapers. | Qut-of-towners recognize Di} Negro’s individuality in painting! and his imaginative conceptions of life as it appears to him. Year in and year out winter tourists to Key West's wonderland, flock io) Di Negro’s compact, immaculate studio to gaze in marvelment at the host of riotous color display- ed there. Especially in the gorge-| ously painted miniatures mounted on cleved, tiny, artist easels. From his work you feel that Di Negro has been unhampered by distracting influences of metro- politan centers and that he devel- oped his natural born talent in an unhurried atmosphere. There are meticulous painters who achieve their results with infinite pains. There are swift painters who work | i with a rush. The hare and torioise schools decry..each other. Each method is proper when it works) and bad when it fails. A canvas is, finished when it is carried as far) as the nature of its technique rec-} | ommends. A painting is like a ges- ture.

He is a genuine workman. | One day, while visiting the Civ- ilian Beach Club, Mr. Di Negro) was charmed by its unique setting ! and friendly atmosphere and de-/ cided to paint the club in glow-| ing oils.
