The Key fish was caught by Mrs, H. L. Breitback of Dubuque, Iowa, and measur- ed 82 inches long with a weight of 34 pounds. Charter boatmen comment- ed on the difference of weight in the two fish, with two inches more in one fish mak- ing a difference of 18 pounds. But this is not the whole story, since it depends on how much the sailfish has been getting to eat and on its individual “build”, just as in humans. These sailfish brought to six the number brought in this year in a slow sailfish- ing season.

During his service with the Corp of En- gineers, Mr. Carbonell had duty in Honolulu, Gitam and Tokyo. Mr. Carbonell witnessed ‘the two-way link sbetween the Red Cross field director stationed j with’ service ‘men and women both in this country and overseas and the home service department of the local chapters which acts as a medium of communicatoin between men and women in the armed forces and their friends and families, . “The Red Cross helped me most of all by locating buddies of mine that I had lost trace of”, said Mr. Carbonell, “as all locations were secret this was the only source of contact. I have watched my buddies receive mes- sages from the field directors giving them good news and sad- ness which proved to us that the Red Cross at home was doing a mighty fine job of keeping things going and relieving troubled minds of the service men of con- ditions existing at home.
