The mantel in the assembly room was gaily decorated with candles, Jack-o-lanterns and crepe paper chains. The colorful dining room centerpiece of autumn fruit was arranged by Mrs. Robert Youmans and Mrs. Joan Lastres. Other table decorations carried out the Hallowe’en theme. Mrs. Richard Barber presided at the coffee urn when refresh- ments were served to the group. Several games were played, one of which was the making of unusuai Hallowe’en masks. The ladies. were supplied with paper, crayons and scissors, and a num- ber of clever and comical masks * \High School PTA \Has Week Filled \With Activities } | This was a full week for the Key West High School P.

If a | student begins at a job and finds, after a long enough period of time to give him a real concrete idea of what the job is like, that the job is really not what he wanted, Mr. Chapman helps him make a change which is amenable both to him and to the employer. Sometimes it’s a tough struggle getting a student placed, Mr. Chap- man said, because in some cases the ambition of the student doesn’t fit with any of the existing job list- ings. But he always hunts around, and so far he has been able to make placements satisfactory to the students. This is not simply a business of asking the prospective trainee what he wants to do, either, be- cause in some cases they don’t even know for sure what they want.

Everyone began talking about “coming to blows.” Several. sailors returning from leave said, ‘There goes liberty.” On Duval while walking home Dick Ertzman stopped me and told about cancellation of the plans for the drama visitors from Miami because of the impending bad weather. He said that Miami parents were worried about let- ting their teen-agers come to Key West in the face of a storm. Hah! I’ve only seen two mildies here but caught the Miami “tropical disturbances” five times, twice with the eye right overhead. In 1948 when I was on radio, and working for North American Newspaper alliarce, I went out to of Post 6021 which Mrs. Busehena attended, she carried ‘on initiation ceremonies for four new members of the group. They are: Dorothy Freeman, Doris Matthews, Flo- rence Katherine Fry and Ida Oli- ver. Mrs. Buschena said that she had observed the Post 6021 Auxiliary to be a very active group and that they are doing marvelous hospital work. She has found the group to be interested and completely uni- formed in the attractive tan Auxi- liary uniforms at all times, The Auxiliary of Post 6021 has the distinction of being the only colored V. F. W. Auxiliary in the state of Florida. They are an alert and willing group who have shown a splendid record of progress un- der the leadership of their past president Marie Walters and their present president Edna Carey. Included in this week’s activi- ties of Post 6021 was an official visit to the men on Tuesday by the 13th District Commander, Dr. W. W. Davis, Coral Gables. Two MRS. MARIE WALTERS (left), and Mrs. Edna Carey, are the immediate past president and present president of the Ladies Auxiliary of V.F.W. Post No. 6021. Winter activities of the club were, sparked by the official visit of the department presi- | men were initiated into the organi- | zation at that time. | Forthcoming in. the calendar of dent of V.F.W. Auxiliaries this events for the Auxiliary is a fash- ion show to be held at the V. F. W. home, 711 Whitehead, on Octo- ber 27. Both the Auxiliary and the Post are looking forward eagerly to the anticipated move into the new Post Home, which will also be Post Home for American Legion Post No. 168. The combined quar- ters are in a beautiful new build- ing on Emma Street, which has been built entirely by the mem- bers of the two organizations.

The little exotic fish theif, outdoor troughs had been flooded’ ‘out into jthe paths of the place and were flopping around by the hundreds A few bedraggled Seminoles wer huddled in their sideless hut: waiting for transportation to sale places. One of the Osceola boys who wrestled alligators was ordered into the tank of crocs and gators to pull the drain plug. It seemed that alligators can stand being ‘sub- merged but the crocs can't stay under for long. They drown, I was told. The slim Indian just prodded the amphibians aside and removed the drain plug. I asked him if it were true that Seminoles always knew when a hurricane was ap- proaching. “Sure,” he muttered. “We listen to radio.” I must say no smoke signals were possible in the needle-driven rain. SAME YEAR a croc and an alligator bunked together in one of the water pens at the Theatre of the Sea. When a storm filled up the shallow pen, the alligator stay- ed, but the crocodile got out and was never found.
