It is hard to tell from the false names given on es-, treated bonds. Another two to put together with a first two to make four is the case of a large gambling operator carefully de-| fended in city court which re- sulted in a dismissal. e e WRONG SIDE OF THE FENCE Somehow or other I dislike, to} see. newspapers perverted to! truth and continually wallowing: in news: of corruption. «© _@ COUNTY FAIR OR FIESTA Here*'are ‘a few suggestions from "someone: who has given Key West much ‘to think about:} A County Fair, which should! prove an attraction for resi-} dents and visitors.

Key West tropical. /grawth! does the’ most 1g ever heard of. For instance. the! limburger tree with its fruit} which smells and tastes like the} famous cheese. Or the beautiful tropical air plants or the bur-} geoning banana stalks with their fruit emerging in the most in-| teresting way from the inside of} a leaf. : ° ° SCUTTLE AT NAVAL AIR STATION With the release of temporary employes at Naval Operating ; Base now comes the scuttle that! there will be some retrenchment! at Boca Chica. This is bound to! come with government sources seeking to economize and tight-! en up units which during the war could not be efficient completely from the very rush of things. But whatever my word is which is based on naval sources believe me there is no definite plan for removal of either the Naval Operating Base or Boca Chica Night’ Fighter Squadron from Key West. e ° HISTORICAL SOCIETY An historical museum and an) } historical society to collect and preserve as much of the old Key West as it is possible to find at this late date, with the date getting later all the time.
