R4Y BRADLEY’S pulse quick- ened with suppressed excite- ment as he entered the building. All the work of the past three days as a wiring inspector had been di- rected for this moment. Now he was actually entering the same space that, in 1950, had been occu- pied by the building housing his office where he had called into the the Vargi: the wor lips.. When he hung up and came back his lips were smiling but his two eyes were puzzled. “Everything’s O:K.,” he said. He took out a key ring and slipped off a key. “This is the master key. Any office that’s locked will open to it. It’s also your badge of authority. In case of trouble refer whoever it is to the manager of the build- ing or myself.” “Thanks,” Ray said. ‘There ’s lips and interpreted shouldn't be any trouble though, should there?” His eyes were inno- cent as they mocked the elevator captain.

The girl turned pale and kept her eyes on her work, refusing to answer. He turned away feeling a slow flush spread over his face. The girl's paleness had been due to controlled, intense anger, the anger one feels toward a person of an inferior race who has stepped out of line in a race-conscious com- munity. For the first time in his life Ray felt the bite of being dealt with as an inferior. _- KEY WEST NEWS | OF Days Gone By | | | | | ' | i | wen: >\ Taken From The Files | 10 YEARS AGO | A report calling for extension} of the inland waterway system ifrom Miami tp Key West has {been forwarded from the war | depart nen: trict engineers at: ; Richmond Va., to the chief engi- neer at Washington, it was — ECU UV UUUUUVUVYUYPYUYYY) | ed here today The information came in a copy of a letter from Col.
