This program was arranged and conducted en- tirely by the children of that school, and included the planting of a tree on the school grounds. Members of the Junior Garden Clubs in the schools are becom- entirety on this ficatibn and conservation, and this is gratifying, for it is justly felt that with the response, in- terést and efforts of the children, much can be accomplished in the beautification of the city.

There is hardly a per- son in Key West who has not in some way been benefited by the work of this group of women.

Also protesting the de-, cision of RKO studio to release “Stromboli” are _—_ censorship boards in various cities, and some state legislators.
