Present were presiding officer, Mrs. Robert Dopp, second | vice president, and other board members, Mrs. William Warren, Mrs. Eugene Otto, Mrs. Winston Jones, Mrs. Edgar Stark and Mrs. Bernard Frank. Mrs. Jones told members that business men in Daytona Beach have regretted the dog track in Volusia county. Since its advent they have lost money to the track which is heavy competition for the consumer dollar. The Rey. Father Armfield, Pre sident of the Ministerial Associa tion, said his experience in fight ing the track in Volusia county helps him in the present battle The strategy of the dog track interests, he said, is to say nothing until the last ten days before the election.

Aronovitz has been invited by the civie club to debate with an anti- | dog track speaker, so that Rotary {members can hear both sides, “I would be glad to address oth- jer local groups who want informa- jtion on the dog track. I believe that those opposing it are perfectly sincere but that they do not have the facts. They are speaking in generalities,’’ Aronovitz said. A Key Wester himself, Aronovitz said: “I certainly would not be in thought our community.” The young Miami lawyer said | that the track will bring economic advantages to Key West. He spiked the argument that it would bring undesirable elements here saying: “All stock holders in the dog | track must have a certificate from the Sheriff and from the Chief of Police in their place of residence attesting to their good character and the fact that they have no | criminal record. This goes. to the racing commission of the state. No one would be embarrassed to be seén socially with any of the peo- ple connected with this track.” Undesirable elements might ho- ver around big city dog tracks, but in the small cities, said Aronovite, tourists and residents comprise the chief customers at the windows. “As far as taking business away from local merchants, many of them will benefit immensely by the track. And motel and hotel owners here have told me that the track will be a great asset in entertain- ment offerings for the city. Right now, they say, Key West has few - tourist recreation facilities.” Aronovitz pointed out that the people of the State of Florida ex- pressed their will on dog racing when their representatives made it a legal form of gambling, “The people have already de- cause their lights were still burn-| Navy ing. | Channel 420 60 Lt.
