SOCIETY — DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor Woman’s Club Sparked Project Of Growing K.W. Youth Center The Key West Youth Center is the outgrowth of a survey con- ducted by the “Woman’s Club in conjunction with a national con- test sponsored by the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. Nearly @very young person approached expressed the desire for a Youth Center, and the local Woman’s Club undertook the organization of a Youth Center as a project. Miss Arlene Merritt, Deaconess of Wesley House, offered the use of the new and well-equipped build- ing on Varella Street. An Advisory Council composed of representa- tives of local organizations was formed. The adults meet monthly with the directors and youth re- presentatives to ascertain the needs of the Center and assist in plan- ning the activities. The programs are under the direction of graduate teachers ex- perienced in this work. The Center has been very popular with the 12 to 15 year olds, and the programs are planned primarily for them. The recently added Handicraft Classes are attracting many of the older “teen-agers.” Funds received from the Navy Charity Carnival last year made it possible to provide trained direc- tors and under their guidance at- tendance is rapidly increasing. The ~ Center was included in the Sum- mer Recreation Program thru the cooperation of the Monroe County Schools. This assistance greatly aided in keeping the programs in operation during the summer. The Youth Center is open on Tuesday nights and the Council hopes that from this nucleus a larger and more varied program can be developed. They need funds for operating expenses and more equipment, es- pecially a ping pong table, or the material to build one. “Until a “City Youth Center” as proposed by the Jay-Cees is avail- able, the present one is a worth while project and deserves the support of every one interested in the young people of Key West”, spokesman for the Center, Mrs. " Winston Jones said. ‘ ‘Coming Events *“ FRIDAY, JANUARY 16— “Humane Society dance and floor- *>2""ghow, Elks Club annex, 9 p.m. * until, ...

Marine Corps in Korea, wishes to thank the scores of Key Westers who sent him Christmas greetings. Word has been received here by his wife, Betty, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Curry, Sr., that he is still getting some of them due to delay in the mails, Since the num- ber is so large, it would be im- possible for young Curry to answ- er each one individually, but he asked that his surprise apprecia- tion and gratefulness be expressed in a thank-you note, via The Citi- zen where he was employed be- fore going into the service. Curry, Jr., who was right on the front lines, sent back some pic- tures of himself and Marine bud- dies wearing the parkas and heavy clothing required in the rugged snow covered mountain area. Born in Key West, the only frost-free city in the United States, Curry, Jr., looked a little nonplussed in some of the poses, but managed to grin and bear it.

This movie was among the ones voted the best pictures of the past year and was a runnerup in the national film poll. The reason is because it is not just a war pic- ture with excitement, but it is an expedition into the mind of a young man whose intelligence and sensi- tivity is in constant conflict with his role as a spy against his own people because he believes that their defeat in World War II is the only salvation for a new Ger- many. Oskar Werner from Vienna is superb in the extremely diffi- cult role. All the principal actors except two are German. Notable perform- ance is the subtle one turned out by Hildergarde Neff. Gary Merrill and Richard Basehart are cast as the intelligence officers who work with Werner. Merrill is at home in the part of the harrassed, tough, sharp man who decides to trust the young Luftwaffe medic who has to make the decision which tears him emotionally at times but drives him on in his dangerous mission. The background is absolutely authentic and was taken in 16 de- vastated cities in Germany. The story is also a true one based on the work of German prisoners of war who came in with the United States intelligence department. One of the roles, played by Han Chris- tian Blech is unique. He becomes a spy for the Americans simply because he knows the tide has turned and Germany will be de feated. . A American G. I.’s are also in the movie en masse. The action takes Place in 1945 and the film is based on a novel which in 1949 won an award. The author is George Howe and the name of the original book is “Call It Treason.” Fleet Training O.W.C. Conduct Coffee Session Echoasis was the scene of the Fleet Training Group Officers Wives’ coffee hour and business session held January 14 at 10 a. m. Mrs, Jack English, chairman, presided.
