WHITE HOUSE FISHING at '-FINED TO PRESIDEN- TIAL PARTY President Truman’s promised arrival in Key West today brought forth an Immediate an- nouncement of the 1947 Key West Fishing Tournament Committee that the “White House Sweep stakes” are back in force. The Sweepstakes were ‘an; “nounced by-Lee Mason, tourna- ment director, last Thursday when it appeared the President would be here March 8 to 11. Operated in connection with the tournament, the Sweepstakes are limited to President Truman and members of his party, in- cluding his secret service agents and White House correspondents and photographers. Three eye-catching gold cups will be awarded to the Sweep- stakes winners—a large cup for “the best catch” to be determin- qd by the correspondents; a smaller cup for the largest fish, and a tiny vest-pocket gold cup for the smallest fish. All three awards are on exhibit in a down- town jewelry window on: Duval street. All fish must be caught on rod and reel. Either charter fishing boats or Naval craft may ‘be used. If charter boats are desired, Mason said, members of the White House party will be given prefer- ence: in making reservations be- cause of the limited length of ca enn oe hm SWEEPSTAKES REVIVED Girl Scouts Today Observe Anniversary Today is the. thirty-fifth anni- versary of Girl Scouting in the |. United States, and Key West Girl gbsexving the girls, led by Mrs. Juliet Lou of Savannah, Ga., in 1912, the Girl Scout movement has grown far of the world. H Girl Scouting gives each Scout ‘a high standard of ideals by which to live and opens many fields of learning and serving, not only their community, but | our country as well as other ; countries. Scouting teaches that by | learning and putting into prac- itice what they have learned, girls and boys of today are bet- ‘ter citizens of tomorrow, and by making friends of people of oth- er countries through the field of internation! friendship, will en- able them to lead more peaceful Hives in the future. During the war Girl Scouts gave many hours of needed ‘serv- ices. Today in peacetime, Girl! Scouts still stand ever reafly to serve whenever the opportunity } is given them. | Key West Girl Scouts are at} time they will stay here. Book-| present collecting waste fats.

Cornmissioner Parrish said the commission should follow the suggestion of the engineers, and select Stock Island site. He said the residential district around Martello site would be ruined by the construction: of a ‘public beach there. Saunders said, in answer to a question, that it might take a year to get title to all the lots proposed to be taken on Stock Island. Commissioner Parrish said that a beach should be selected that would help Key West build up through the years. City Commissioner Louis Car- bonell, a member of the county commissioners’ committee select- ed to study the sites, said he was opposed to Stock Island and {Boulevard and was in favor of Martello. Earl E. Adams, president of the Rotary Club, was in favor of deferring action on the beach se- lection. James Calloway said the com- mission had not properly studied the Stock Island and Boulevard sites and suggested further de-|* lay. Allan B: Cleare, Jr., said the engineers had made a fine report. He urged the commission not to rush into the selection of a site last night. Higgs then offered a resolution to defer action for 10 days. Later he amended the resolution to read April 1. It was seconded by Parrish. —_———. Maj. Gen. Harry C. Ingles, chief signal officer, born at Pleasant Hill, Nebr., 59 years ago, Todav’s Anniversaries (Know America) 1743—John G. E.

Telephone earnings today are the lowest in our history in face of a record volume of business. Southern Bell has applied to the Florida Railroad Commission for an increase in local service rates to help meet this condition.

We want rates no higher thamy necessary to safeguard the full useful- negs of the telephone to the state and this community. We believe you fea} the same way, even it the cost is some- what more, because the business and social welfare of this community de- pend on adequate telephone service, Your telephone rate is low and your Telephone Company wants to keep it a small part of your expenses. While telephone rates generally are lower today than they were 20 years ago, the total cost of furnishing tele- phone service to our Florida custom- ers has steadily increased. Since 1940 expenses have advanced 181 per cent while revenues increased only 129 per cent. : ' | Telephone wage rates in Florida | have been raised during the past two | years by $3,788,784 gn an annual basis. | The cost of erecting telephdne build- ings has jumped 75 to 100 per cent and the overall cost of providing’ tele+ ' phone facilities is'up 50 to 65 per cent.
