These parties are held out- doors in their beautiful open; dance. garden, overlooking Bis- cayne Bay. This “66 St.” Ameri- _gan Legion is one of the most at- tractive of all the Legion Cen- “ters, any fete held there would ~be a glamorus affair.

If Mr. Demeritt, as alleged, made these statements then charges should be filed against Mr. King and the public allowed to sit in on the hearings. On the other hand, if the alleged statements of Mr. Demeritt can not be sub- stantiated then the public should know this also.
