Parrish the commission voted to pave Fifth street and Avenue C for a distance of about 850 feet. The pavement would be 12 feet wide, the bulldozing; of. the other streets would be the full 50 feet. A group of petitioners from the Lowe Tract on Big Pine Key asked for pavement of a road} through the area. It was deter- mined that no plat of the tract had ever been recorded in the eounty. i “You must record a plat and then deed property to the om which to build a roa Commissioner Parrish. “Then we can consider. receiving bids for the road.” ‘The petitioners left, saying they would record the plat and get all-the property owners to agree on deeding property for a road to the county. ) Allen Baker, owner of Key Largo Harbor, a yacht basin and hotel development on Key Lar- go, requested the ecounty to re pair the old county road for a distance of about three miles.

A “PEACE PLATE” FOR TODAY Save Wheat! Save Meat! Savethe Peace! Key Received January 6 6 Son to Thompsons 2 Mr. and Mrs. Clarence V. Thompson, 308 Margaret street, today announted the birth of a son on Saturday in the Key. West Municipal Hospital He -weighed | five pounds, eight ounces, and has been named Charles Clar- ence, TRUMAN REACHES (Continued From Page Gne) on the left side, and Capt. Adell, as his official host, sat between them, Every street had been cleared of traffic over which’ the Presi- dent's car was scheduled to pass. Roosevelt Boulevard, Division street, Southard street were lined with thousands of persons, His car slowed down as it reached Division street and ev- eryone got a good view of the smiling man who is the Presi- dent of the United States. The President looked clean } and fit, looked as though he had been taking exercises and felt ; tight up to snuff. To look at him you would have no idea of the worries the President is put to in running the country. As his car entered the Subma- rine Base a detachment of Ma- rines and sailors were on hand to give him a salute. Then a 21- gun salute was fired in honor of the President. Inside the base, which was swept clean of all leaves and debris, the car rolled rapidly to the temporary White House, the commandant’s quarters which will be Mr, Truman's home until Monday. Entering the home he found eight “side boys,” sailors who were drawn up at attention. Mr. |Truman saluted the “boys” and quickly entered the house. It was later reported the President enjoyed a rather late luncheon served in-the house by his own crew of attaches from Washington, who arrived here two days ago and took charge of the kitchen arrangements, Tomorrow morning -the Presi- dent is expected to hold a press conference. There are now about 20 newspaper men and eight photographers here. These men all are frrom Washington and reached here about an hour ahead of the President. At the Boca Chica Field the President took off his hat and smiled broadly at the battery of photographers. He was _photo- graphed with Adiniral Leahy and Capt. Adell. : The President is due to remain at the Submarine Base until Sat- |urday morning when he leaves for Everglades, where he is scheduled to deliver a 20-minute talk dedicating the Everglades National Park which has just been presented to the nation by the state of Florida. Right after dedicatory ad- dress, Mr. Truman will return to the Submarine Base here where he will remain until Mon- day. He leaves then for the re- turn trip to Washington. The beach at the Sub Base and a fishing boat is at the disposal of the Président. It is not known whether he intends to go fishing but if he wants to the boat will be ready for his use.

Your favorite recipe _ for rarebit can be varied by addition of chopped celery and green peppers, sliced olives or mushrooms, or condensed mush- room soup. To save bread, serve the rarebit over Julienne pota- toes (cooked potatoes cut in long shoestr! ips) instead of over th 1 toast. Rarebit mixture is jo delicious served over cooked green beans, broccoli, or other vegetables. 2. A good way to use up left-over mashed potatoes is to reheat them in a double boiler over boil- ing water, add a little hot milk, whip them up light and fufty and serve them with gravy, creamed fish chipped beef. or creamed |School Trustees Elected; Voters O.K.
