Some of the personnel of the winter colony went quite beyond simply going north for the hot months. The Bredins, the Wal- lace Kirkes, and the Leland God- dards were among Key Westers who traveled in Europe during the summer, Commandef Bredin had some enlightening and apt comments to make regarding the European scene. He. says that America, both through its people and its lovely, lovely money, is having a terrific effect on the life espe- cially in France and Italy. “They were never so prosperous,” Cdr. Bredin said. He was especially impressed by the fact that there were no beg- gars to be encountered on the streets of Paris or Rome or any of the places where they used to be commonplace. A large number of German trovelers were touring the west- n European countries, Cdr, Bre- 1 reported, and he added that aside from the fact that they wore not so fat as in pre-World Wer IL years, they were much the same. Still bellicose, was the way he described them. fad to say, the travelers in Evrope were somewhat dampen- ed by an over-abundance of rain i ingland, France and _ Italy. he was asked whether he was happy to be back in the is- land city, Cdr. Bredin retorted, “When you have spent a lot of time where the weather is wet and cold, you then appreciate Key West.” Apart from the returning trav- elers other signs of the change of season are the preparations which are underway for the re-opening @: such landmarks as the Casa Marina and the Martello Towers. The Casa Marina will begin its season of activities in December and the Martello Towers, both} East and West, will open for visitors early in November. Of course, our calendar marks off the same dates as the calen- dars in northern cities, so Hal- lowe’en comes here just as it does up where “the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock.” What the kids lack in bonfires, they make up in spirit.

When he spoke about the rheumatic condition of hearts, especially in children, the thought came home like an arrow. My sis- ter Faith who died in March 1951 at the age of 26 years, after ten years of illness was a rheumatic fever patient. . .I went over the doctor’s notes, checking and re- checking with my own to be sure to wring out every bit of informa- tion of the preventitive methods, as well as those concerning the latest methods in surgery and drugs. INTERRUPTION at that point a lady came in to the office and said tearfully, “I just hit your dog with my car.” In the rush, I for- got to ask her name, but she drove me around trying to find Claude, He was rolled over after the glanc- ing blow and had run in panic down Caroline street. I found him after an hour of scouring backyards. Meantime the woman who was considerate enough to come and notify me had gone on about her business, Claude was dazed and skinned up, and had puncture in the left hip which bled a lot; but Dr, Landrum, veterinarian said he would be all right, and was a lucky dog., The female chien fatale in the chase escaped unhurt. Claude is confined to quarters. Thanks to Tomi, Karns for rushing us to the vet's on. Stock Island.
