Louis Carbonell quickly pointed out that the city and county had already appropriated $2,500 apiece for golf and fishing tournaments and expected the Chamber to add another $10,000 to such a fund. Remarks were also made by Lawrence Polycarp Artman who pledged the support of the Flor- ida Keys Star to the Chamber’s efforts. John R. Vosburgh of The Key West Citizen, representing Publisher L. P. Artman, was invited to express his views on the meeting and expressed his gratification at the frank atmos- phere of the gathering and the jfreedom of discussion. He said ‘that the Chamber could expect |the whole-hearted support of The Citizen in any manner of benefit to the community. In behalf‘ of the colored citi- zens, F. A. Johnson volunteered ‘complete ‘support. Ellen Wel- ters Sanchez, who has composed a song, “The Isle of Key West,” will have a group of colored stu- dents at the next open meeting in order to sing the composition.

Wyatt is a master in an almost exclusive school of art, | running a shop that is one of four in the country turning out those gaudy banners that flap in front of some 200 circus and/| county fair carnival sideshows over the country. Wyatt is 40 and his real first name is David, but carnival people | changed that when they discovered he could turn out a canvas at the snap of a finger. Actually, he can complete a regular size ban- ner (8 x 10 feet) in less than two days. He says that to capture with a paint brush the psychological iquirks that draw people into tents, you have to live with show people—and that’s what Wyatt’s done much of his life for he ran| away from home when he was 14 to join a circus. | He was*put to work painting props and pdles. When he was 20) and working at Coney Island, he decided to study art at Coop Union Art School in New York. | He didn’t learn his present style there, however. It was under | Rube Merrifield, king of banner painters, who died in 1932. ® CHEESECAKE A LA SIDESHOW—Artist Snapp Wyatt knows how | to supply the proper ingredients, both in content and color, to make | carnival and circus owners happy. | Wyatt says he does not use models “because I know practically | every freak personally. Occasionally, however, I get an order for | a banner about a freak I don’t know. Then, of course, I have to! ask for details.” | Wyatt almost never gets specific orders, and an order will read like this: “Rush two girl show banners, one mummy, one pygmy man and woman, one pin head, one entrance banner, one giant banner.” | “They know that I know what they want,” he said. “They don’t have to give ’specifications.” i Wyatt explained that the showman’s favorite color is reddish orange because everyone associates this with carnivals. Since the war, however, this has been difficult to get. Now he has to rely on a yellow background as the next best thing. i Wyatt, who with his brother Bill set up his workshop here in 1936, is just getting back into the swing of things after duty with the Army Combat Engineers. : In the Army he painted maps.
