Mrs. Ross, who has been helpful before on other tips to this column, is making up her mind which prize she wants of those offered by KEY WEST IS MY BEAT.

Avery called in early Saturday morning about the cut in gas Prices being taken by Frank Russo out at the Overseas Garage.

One perceived from a glance at the program even that Nikolaidi’s managers had sacri- ficed richness for simplicity in the selections. It was only in the arias that the full dramatic range of her beauti- ful voice was let out in the audi- torium. In most of the other se- lections she was cut down from her true size to the capacities of an artist with much less vir- tuosity. When she sang the Bel Raggio Lusinghier from “Semiramide” by Rossini, and the Donizetti, one wished that more of her program had been operatic. The contralto was brought back for three encores at program’s end. She sang a delightful Greek folk song in a lighthearted, viva- cious manner. Then she switched into the sultry, Latin role of Car- men, singing the “Habanero” which evoked the bull ring, the ci- gar shop, and the heat of love and Spain. Finally she sang Brahm’s Lullaby in as rich and tender man- ner as the great Schumann-Heinke did years ago.

The common opened on a huge block of 40,000 shares up % at 5 and then moved up to a new high of 5%. The preferred, which yesterday gained 9 points, added another 5 points right at the start. The corporation is the largest single holder of Missouri Pacific common. Mopac preferred was at a new high and up between 1 and 2 points in early trading. Throughout the list most changes were -fractional either way. Un- changed to a little higher were railroads, steels, motors, oils, coppers, golds, and utilities.

I guess he had already gone down,” Sims said. When the Coast Guard reached Cannon his body was floating in the rough water. They administer’ ed artificial respiration throughout’! the trip back to port. A Navy doc tor pronounced Cannon dead when he was brought off the Coast Guard 40 foot boat. Cannon is survived by a wife in Darien, Georgia. Sims lives in Ridgeville, Ga. where he has a} wife and four children. Yesterday he was being fed and housed by the Coast Guard while | they awaited word from his com- pany in Darien. Dazed with shock and grief the 41 year old shrimper had not slept for two nights. The tragedy in the northwest channel had been pre- ceded by a rough night crossing Rebecca shoals from Dry Tortu-| gas. The sunken vessel had come to Tortugas from Fort Myers re- cently.

This measure is patterned after a state law which is now in effect. The ordinance was passed on first reading last week. It came into being because of complaints of residents in certain sections of the city that a ‘nuisance existed.” An ordinance granting the Key West Gas Company a nine year extension on their franchise to operate in the city will also come up for second reading at the meet- ing tonight. Their present agree- ment with the ‘city has 11 years to run but financing regulations make it necessary to obtain the extension.
