Philip Bernard Roberts of 1211 South Street passed away Monday night at 6:30 p. m. after an illness of several months. Mr. Roberts was a veteran of World War I and spent two years in France. He was three times Post Commander of Arthur Saw- yer Post of the American Legion in Key West. He was very active in many projects for veterans and for hospitalized cases, having work- ed very closely with Dr. Lombard when Dr.. Lombard headed ‘the Marine Hospital here. Mr. Roberts was well-known to many Key Westers also because of his 34 years of service with the Post Office. A member of the First Methodist Church for more than 30 years, he was active in the choir. He married Ruie Elaiue Watkins in 1930. x Mr. Roberts is survived by his wife, Ruie; three sister, Mes- dames Evelyn Raine of Seattle, Washington, Vivian Gobell and Spires of Miami; three brothers, Messrs. C. M. Roberts of Miami, Julian L. Roberts of Denver, Colo- rado, and Olney Roberts of Key West. He will be buried in the family plot’ on Thursday afternoon. Ser- vices will be held at 4:00 o‘clock at the First Methodist Church with the Reverend Paul Touchton, pas- tor officiating. There will be active pall bearers from the Honor Guard selected by the American Legion. In addition, there will be the following honorary pall bearers: Hollon Bervaldi, Earl Gwin, Ches- ter Sawyer, Atwood Sands, Earl Anderson, and Harvey Sellers.

(Naval Base) HIGH Only Friend Of, Dying Cat Is Second Feline Night before last, a passing motorist was shocked to see a dying cat lying in the middle of Flagler Avenue with no effort being made by passing cars or pedestrians to aid or remove the suffering animal from the road. But by its side was another cat, either its mate, or perhaps a cat from the same litter, obviously dis- tressed by the condition of its suffering companion. It stayed by the injured animal closely, sometimes lying down beside the other one, touching it gently with a paw. The driver stopped and removed the hurt cat out of range of more cars. It was gasping its last. The faithful feline friend continued vi- gil. Mrs. George Mills White, presi- dent of the Humane Society, said today that a plea was made to all drivers of cars to be more careful fo avoid striking dogs and: cats which cross streets, especially at night. Sometimes they are blinded by headlights and in panic turn the wrong way. “In the past few days, we have had an avalanche of reports of pets being struck by hit-and-run drivers who go on their reckless way leaving an injured or dying animal in lonely agony. I would like to ask motorists to be more careful, or if an accident does hap- pen, to stop and see what can be done for the animal,” she said.

ALBURY POINTS OUT (Continued from Page One) and the Coast Guard brought the victim to Key West from Dry Tor- tugas, Since then, however, the lady has reneged on paying the bill, Albury said. The patient was discharged from the hospital Monday, leaving} the large bill. Sawyer said he would study the matter and see if the boat could be held until the} bill is paid. He said that employers do not have responsibility for work- ers who attempt suicide. Dr. Herz pointed out, however, that the boat owner had assumed the legal re- (Continued from Page One) to be illegal for the school board to enter into such an agreement. However, the Commissioners as- sured the school head that he would get the land “one way or another.” Further study of the city’s traffic problem was recommend- ed by the commissioners last night, particularly the problem resulting from the one way zon- ing on Simonton and Fleming Streets when restaurant man Benny Fernandez appealed to the Commission to change Simon- fon Street back to way traffic due to the fact that busi- ness men there are complaining that their commerce is ruined because traffic is being diverted away from their doors. A petition signed by 46 people in the Fleming Street area charging the same situation read. The Commissioners moved to ask the Governor's Safety committee to make a study of the situation. An ordinance prohibiting the placing of adve-tising material in or on automobiles and the solicit- ing of business by the city’s motel operators was quickly passed on first reading last night. The mea- sure, will in effect stop the rash of complaints that motel operators are creating a nuisance in certain areas of the city. Such soliciting is- prohibited by state law. Key West will be a quieter place in the future if a measure which Mayor C. B. Harvey indicated that he will introduce in the near fu ture goes through. After withdraw- ing an ordinance last nigut that would have required the sound- proofing of all bars with a floor area of over 4000 square feet and accomodating over 200 patrons, Harvey said that he will author an ordinance requiring all Key West bars to be soundproofed. They will be given adequate time to complete the work, he said. In other action, the Commission: VOTED 3-2 to relinquish the re- servation of land along Roosevelt Boulevard which had been given them in June, 1951 by the Internal Improvement Board, Mayor Har- vey and Commissioner Delaney dissented.
