While out, foul weather came up and small craft warnings were sent out and, of course, the base tried to reach the “Jane” with its high- ranking dignitary. The Admiral knew what the buzzing was all about on the boat and gave orders to ignore them and to kéep fish- ing. When no one could reach the “Jane”, .a_ blimp, planes and eleven PBY’s were sent out in search of the littie boat and escorted her back into port, with a very nonplussed Ad- miral aboard. xk kk New residents here are MR. AND MRS. ROLAND C. GOU- LET, who say they are here to stay. During the war, Mr. Gou- let was in service and Mrs. Vir- ginia Goulet came to Key West to sit out the war. While here she purchased the residence at 1214 Seminary Street and has re- sided here for two and one-half years. The Goulets are very much in | terested in the city and would like to work in a society to pie- serve the historical architecture of the island. kk * Visiting Mr. ‘and Mrs. J.‘Har- man Brodowski are Mr. Brodow- two fighter| . Cosas s| Friends Of Music Have Programme The Friends of Music of Key West met this week at the home of Miss Anita Gato on Duval Street to enjoy a most gratifying programme of classical and concert music. John Hayes, O'Neill, popu- lar tenor of New York, ac- companied by Miss Anita Gato, delighted a large aud- ience with his rendition, in excellent voice, of “May Night”, by Brahms, the Ave Maria by Schubert, Toselli’s “Serenade”, The Lord’s Pray- er by Melotte, Sylvia by Cox and “Morning” by Speaks. Mr. O'Neill was followed on the programme by Mrs. Dan Knight, Hungarian vio- lin virtuiso, whose technique in handling two very diffi- cult Hungarian numbers. Hejri Kati by Hubay and Csardas by Monti, was ex- ceeded, if at all, only by the excellence of her tonal qual- ity. Mrs. Knight was ably accompanied on the piano by Miss Oxley, assistant director of the U.S.O. Mrs. Knight and Miss Oxley concluded their portion of the pro- gramme with Kriesler’s per- ennial favorites, Liebesfried and The Old Refrain. ski’s mother, MRS. JOHN BRO- DOWSKI, and his sister, MISS AGNES. BRODOWSKI, The. two will spend about two}, weeks in this city before rturn- ing to Trenton, N. J. They are fascinated with the Island City’s charm. kkk It is most pleasant to talk to MRS. WARREN and MRS. NA VARRO about Woman's Club ac- tivities. These ladies and their husbands have been identified. with Key West’s growth for a long time.

But when old timers such as George Raft commended thit she hadn’t changed an iota, Car- mel was really happy. A beautiful face, says Carmel is partly the result of being completely relaxed at all times. She always manages to get eight hours sleep and never lies awake thinking about things io do. She gets rid of any prob lem that might be bothering her before retiring so thatshe can sleep soundly. Another method for relaxaticn, she says, is to have a hobby.

People will be asking, “Why do we have a Poppy Day?” First. we wear the Poppy once a year to express the feeling of reverence that is always in our hearts for the men who died on the poppy- studded fields ‘of France and Belgium: during both World Wars. ~The poppy is the flower of France and Bel- gium. So, tomorrow let us all wear a little red flower hon- oring the men who died on all battlefronts, that we here at home might live. Second, we wear the poppy to help lighten the burden for those who are still undergo- ing suffering and hardships because of wars, ‘When you buy your poppy tomorrow, think of the dis- BOCA CHICA ORDNANCE MEN * * * * * e, DO * Dump Old Ammunition At Sea: Made Harmless First DANGEROUS WORK Looking out toward the North- west from Boca Chica field, dune of white coral appear in the dis- tance fronted by scattered build- ings and surrounded.by a barbed wire ped fence.
