Since the float won first prize in the judges’ opinion, the club was very ready to extend a “well done” to the two who did most of the work. The possibility of | entering a éloat in the Orange Bowl parade in Miami on New Year's Day was ordered investi- gated. Key West has never been represented by a float in this an- nual affair. : Dale Fllis, Key West High School student and recent win- ner of the essay contest on Navy Day, was a guést of the club. He declined to say much about the thrill he experienced while in honorary command of the sub- marine Corporal during the fes- tivities. Another guest was Rus- sell Baker. { ———— ASE | REDUCTION AT B ; 1d hi nig | ment that he would have re- duce his personnel only by 350 in January, leaving him 1080 ci- vilians.

Tourists warit to know what to expect in a city in which they plan to spend the winter season and, incidentally, their money. For instance, no one could hope that a tourist would take home with him or her, several hundred pounds of coffee (Cuban or otherwise); nor could one be expected to take home a bagful of fried black-eyed peas; as for rain-barrels, we’ve had ‘em in the north since the first barrel was emptied of Dago-red wine so they’re out; and, who in the {| bronx wants to take home a 250- pound turtle? And last, but, pos- sibly not least, the colored drum- mer makes it somewhat of an in- ternational affair—a Bahaman negro playing a Cuban rumba or ritual drum in the Southernmost City of the U. S. A. Okay by me! But do tourists have to come to Key West for such? No; Harlem’s full of it! For the information of pros- pective tourists, I think it would be wise if you published a few corrections of Helen’s supposi- tions after her two-day sojourn in Key West. For instance: Helen plays up Key West hur- ricanes in her article, which your publication seems to think bene- ficial to the city; the last hur- ricane which did any material damage to the city passed over the Island in September, 1919. The damage was negligent. The city is built to withstand any storm that could be expected in this grea. yo ee correction: At the time Helen’s “publicity” was published, there was no ferry service from Key West to Ha- vana. And, if such service were in effect it is very unlikely that the Cuban government will ac- cede to non-examination of in- coming baggage, tourist or not. | You might also say that the only point in Florida from which a passenger plane may fly to Ha- vana in 30 minutes is Key West, and that the only port of entry from Latin America at this end of the Florida peninsula is Key West, and not any of the Keys | between Key West and Miami. You are at liberty, of course, to delete from this letter, but 1 believe, as do many others, that in all fairness to prospective vis- itors to Key West, and in the in- firm.
