PAGE EIGHT en The | OBSERVATIONS “OF A FOOL By BILL LEE ‘Gagonepeeagrvnnunnngeanyannatnnnccnvoeeacaganeegenrenngo* ,What, no‘Santa Claus in Key West? No, sir, narry a one that we can find. It seems strange not to have the old bewhisker- ed gent hanging out in some store or maybe collecting money on the street. We went to the Chamber of Commerce about it. . “Well, we've heard from sev- eral mothers asking where they can take their children to see and to hear Santa Claus, said Lettie Sullivan of the Chamber. “They miss the old guy, they say, because their children want to*hear what's in store for them at Christmas directly from San- ta Claus.” . Well, we heard there is going to be at least one Santa in town. He is going to be at Bayview Park on Saturday morning at the annual Christmas Tree Party and if you've missed the old boy this year you can go right out to Bayview Park on Saturday. - k* wk * ‘Memories of President Tru- man’s recent visit to Key West still, linger. Emmett F. Conniff, Benerat- manager of the Casa Marina Hotel, came in the of- ficeu, 4o state that a party was held’ 'at the hotel during the President’s visit in which some Of: hé aides to Mr. Truman took part: ‘Among the guests were Rear Admiral Foskett, Naval aide to Save Food—DO YOUR PART NOW i Teer erenbeey .

He doesn’t know the name of the author of it, but the piece was given to him to'do what he wished with it. “You can run it in The Citi- zen, said Schopflin.

Re- mémber the story we had a few weeks ‘ago’ telling of the woman who fell among the seats in Cir- cuit Court? ‘Well, the Monroe County Commission authorized adver. tising: seeking bids for the pu chase of 120 seats for the court- room. ; “The present seats are wor out”, said Commissioner Clar- ence Higgs. “They are simply too old.” “We could have insurance to protect the county from _possi- ble, damage suits”, said Com- missioner W.

It’s still some- thing of a mess from the last high winds. Boats lay twisted and broken all around. “The wind must have caus- ed the boatmen at least several thousand dollars”, said Dr. A. M. Morgan, who was busily engag- ed in repairing his own sail- fret “It took the mast off my at and smashed up the gun- wale.
