. MARY ROBERTS, Society Editor Key West Called Jewel Of Island For Any With Beachcomber’s Soul Nationally-Circulated Magazine First To Use Story About 10,000 Navy Men Stationed Here The following article appeared in the current issue of Charm Magazine: Key West.is for you who have the’ soul of a beachcomber—a small, very small jewel of an island exactly two miles wide and five miles long. Although it is American—the U.S.’s southernmost city— it.is Cuban and Bahaman in spirit. It is farther south than Cairo, Egypt; it has never known frost;¥ it calls shrimp “pink gold”; it has a dashing history of pirates, rum- runners, shipwrecks; its balcon- ied old houses suggest both New Orleans and New England. It is ithe very last of the keys which extend from Florida 125 miles south into the Gulf of Mexico. Key West is the ideal and idyl- lic spot if you want tropical laz- ing—or sports—without the de- mands*of resort clothing,. resort manners or resort hubbub. You can live in denims if you want to—but you can also-put on a pretty dress and know you'll be appreci ina restaurant. or cocktail; Evening clothes not necessal _though—and _ sports clothes trees ntly curved. from past h nes, and flaming sun- sets sill ing the black tangle of the shrimp fleet, are free. If you like deep-sea fishing, Key West is:world famous for it—and there ate charter boats, complete with seasoned Captains, for hire —as wéll as bottom fishing over the coral reefs and day-long fish- ing from the docks. There is al- so marie sightseeing through a glass bottom boat, a tropical aquarium or, if you like, golf and tennis. ~ You.can stay at La Concha, Key West’s one commercial ho- tel, for tess than $5 a day, and there are numerous motels with daily. rates of ‘less than $5 - for Coming Events MONDAY, MAY 7— Key West Temple No. 20, Py- thian Sisters will meet at Knights of Pythias Hall..on Flemifig at 7:30.
