Father John Armfield, president of the Key West Minis- ‘erial association spearhead of the anti-track forces said: “If the people who are opposed will get out and vote, we have a fair chance of defeating the track.” Proponents of the track, led by Abe Aronovitz, president of the Key West Kennel club, prepared an answer today to the strong statements made against the track in Saturday’s Citizen by City Com- missioner John Carbonell and At- torney Julius Stone.

Recog- nizing the fact that most -work- ers in the city have only a_ five day week, allowing a full day of shopping on Saturday, the Beach- comber Jewelers have decided that beginning with the new| year, they will always be closed on Thursday, so that they too will have a five day work week. | | Then, they will also close at the | {usual 6 P.M. on Saturday nights. | It is Mr. Dicken’s contention, that if the stomers are aware of the store's closing dates and} hours, they will be glad to ar. range their own shopping time accordingly, and Beachcomber employees will be able to enjoy extra hours of leisure too.— of-staff at Fargo.
