Key West, Florida, has the most equable climate in the country, with an average range of only 14° Fahrenheit VOL, LXXIII, No. 189 Parents Informed Where To Register Pupils For School Work On More Classrooms Is Being Rushed For Completion The four additional classrooms for Key West school children will probably be ready Septem- ber 4 for school’s opening, Super- intendent of Public Instruction Horace O’Bryant said today. : M. E. Bennett construction company is rushing through the '. completion of the rooms of which there will be two at Harris, one at Reynolds and one at Doug- lass. Meanwhile the school architect, W. H. Merriam and Federal En- gineer J. R. Brennan have made an inspection of the work in progress at the Poinciana school additions. Brennan will return to Key West for additional survey of the work whfich is being done with Federal funds on August 26. Turnover of Naval personnel is so rapid, O’Bryant said, that try- ing to figure the exact number of new pupils at county schools before September 4 is like play- ing blind man’s bluff. He could give no close estimate at this time. Places: Parents of elementary s‘udents were given instructions. as to the areas served by the various schools, Leland S. March, Gen- eral Supervisor of- Instruction clarified these areas in the fol- lowing _ bulletin principals and living northof and Bertha streets as far as the Marathon school line. Those pupils who ride the Marathon ‘school bus from the Keys will register at‘Truman Elementary school and attend there until there is room at Poinciana Ele- mentary school for them. Truman Elementary School: All pupils on the Atlantic Ocean side of Olivia street from Fourth street to White street. AU pupils on the north side of White street to the South side of First and Bertha streets. All pupils living in Peary Court and the Seaplane Base are to register at the Truman Elementary school.

Yacht Club Site Being Prepared Now Members To Study Plans For Clubhouse At Meet Tomorrow Garrison Bight is the scene of dredging and filling activities be- cause of work in progress for the Key West Yacht Club and basin. The Yacht Club recently in- stalled the fill necessary for a site of the proposed building. Fill has now set the required length of time, Commodore Glynn Archer of the club said today. At tomorrow’s weekly yacht club meeting plans for the new club- house will be studied by members. If approved the club will call for bids on construction to start in the near future. Key West at present loses yacht- ing tourist business because it lacks berths and facilities for plea- sure boats, Marathon, up the Keys, which has made an effort to provide fa- cilities for yachtmen draws some- thing like two hundred pleasure craft a season, who tie up there, according to one member of the club.

Rates Go Higher TALLAHASSEE (# — Basie au- tomobile liability insurance is go- ing to cost more in Florida after Aug, 25. State Insurance Commissioner Ed Larson has granted increases ranging from $5 to $24 a year on what is known as “5 and 10” poli- cles. These policies provide motorists with the minimum insurance cov; erage required: under the state fl; nancial responsibility law. A driver without the coverage must prove ability to pay the damages: if he is responsible for an accident. The insurance companies, said Larson, claim Florida traffic casn- alties have increased and property damage costs more to make good because of increasing costs of ma- terials and services. 1 The increases granted vary over (Continued on Page Ten) | TICKET OFFICE ' ALL AIRLINES PRICE TOURS 411 Fleming St. EE— PRE-HURRICANE DANCE American Legion Home Saturday, Aug. 9 9 P.M.
