IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED : BY THE CITIZEN More Hotels and Apartments. Beach and Bathing Pavilion. Airports—Land and Sea. Consolidation of County and City Governments. Community Auditorium. “LOOK, MAMA—I'M A BIG BOY NOW!” If a municipality could talk, the above words are pro- bably what the City of Key West would shout. It must be admitted that, in truth, they are correct. However, have some Key, Westers’ actions, attitudes, and thoughts grown in the same proportion as their town? One specific example of the immaturity of some Key West residents will be readily apparent during this month of June—the traditional month of brides. Raucous noise- makers, blaring horns, and racing automobiles will be a ‘featured part of many marriage ceremonies. The Citizen certainly does not want to be considered a “kill-joy” but it would like to point out that’’ whereas such celebrations might be in order in a small community where everyone knows each other, they can be: harmful and detrimental in a city the size of Key West. Chief Joseph O, Kemp, of the Key West Police De- partment, says: “We're having an ever-increasing number of complaints regarding the custom of blowing horns and Tacing automobiles about the city after a marriage cere- mony, ’ “In the past, the police department has over-looked the legal infractions involved. but it can do so no. longer, The celebrants should realize that in their noisy passage along the streets, they are disturbing homes where there might be sickness or death; churches, where worship cere- monies might be in progress. All of this, to say nothing of 'the danger to which they expose innocent motorists and pedestrians by ignoring traffic signals and using excessive speed within the City Limits.” Bill Gibb, former Citizen reporter who describes him- self now as a “rookie” policeman, says: “The Chief means business when he indicates that he wants all of these rac- ing, noisemaking automobile parades brought to a halt. “The boys on the police force are helping me write the column, “Safety Notes”, in the hope that Key Westers will change a few of their habits and not have to be hailed into court. Reckless driving following a marriage cere- mony is one of the worst of these habits. Prospective bride- grooms might consider the fact that there are better ways of spending a wedding night than in the City Jail, and ad- vise their friends’accordingly.” The Citizen heartily concurs with Gibb’s concluding sentence and Suggests that its readers cooperate with Chief Kemp in his efforts to make Key West a safer, pleasanter town for every one to live in, Looking ahead is a very poor way in which to settle} your obligations, So far as we have been able to observe, few business men object to free advertising. Most any resident of Key West will believe anything | EL CONVENTO DE MARIA js INMACULADA Fué en el afio de 1868, cuando las Hermanas del Sagrado, Nombre de Jesus y de Maria, una antigua or- ganizacién canadiense, llegaron a Cayo Hueso para abrir un plantel de ensefianza para nifias de la raza blanca, en un gran edificio si- tuado en la esquina de las calles de Whitehead y Divisién, cuyo lo- cal estuvo ocupado por barracas para tropas, durante la Guerra Civil. En ese lugar las cultas y Piadosas . hermanitas, estuvieron ensefiando a las nifias blancas del Cayo, por espacio de mas de diez anos, En 1878, ellas comenzaron la fundacién de un Convento, que ha- bria de ser erigido en el lote doce, del antiguo plano de Key West, que se eerea de seiscientps pies por la calle de Division (hoy Avenida Truman) siendo -en total la extensién de-terreno de dicho edificio, de ocho scres y medio. El edificio es de roca de coral nativa, habiendo costado la parte | principal del mismo, treinta y cinco mil pesos. En el afio de 1904, Se decidieron a agrandarle, por contar ya con recursos suficientes para hacerlo, dandole el doble de amplitud, segan la medida origi- nal. Este aumento de capacidad se hizo por la parte noreste, a un pcosto aproximado de veinte y dos mil pesos. Es actualmente el mas bello edificio destinado a educacién, de todo el Estado de Florida y es en si, un verdadero monumento a la devocién y al piadoso heroisno de! grupo de dignisimas mujeres que lo fundaron y que tanto han lucha- do y luchan actualmente, por sos- tenétlo con el mayor decoro y res- peto de propios y extrafios, Muchas de las Hermanas que aqui vinieron a dedicarse a la ensefianza, fueron victimas de la terrible fiebre amarilla. Ello a pe- sar, las puertas del plantel per- manecieron siempre abiertas a la ensefianza, hasta el afio de 1898, cuando la explosién del crucero MAINE en la bahia de La Habana, en la noche del 15 de febrero de dicho afio.

George C. Marshall appealed Friday to Brit- ish leaders to foster a generous understanding of America’s aims and problems in Korea. In a stern tone, he told a lunch- eon of the English Speaking Union it was important that the British public resists Soviet propaganda that the United States is engaged on some warlike course. He also declared the American public “is intent on seeing that nothing be permitted to lend aid to the Chinese Communist forces.” Marshall told the luncheon gath- ering of 2,000 he thought the Brit- ish public “only partially realizes” the size of American casualties in Korea. He added: “For some reason—probably a result of clever Soviet propaganda and subtle suggestion—there seems to be a belief that America is in warlike mood, fraught with the po: sibility of bringing about a general conflagration. “Nothing, I know, could be ‘fur- ther from the desires of the Ameri- {can people and their leaders.” Marshall also referred to charges occasionally made here that the * United States government ignores con los mejores de su clase y en! ; hs : el piso alto del mismo, han sido | the advite of its allies.

Her sister, Anna, still lives in Yugoslavia. Her mo- ther is dead. Like everyone—including the cus- tomers at the plush salon—old Stojan watched in amazement as his little “ugly auckling” was changed into an attractive, wel- dressed, poised young woman. Business was practically sus- pended as everyone took an inter- est in operation Cinderella. One customer walked oct indignantly when she was ignored.

First Ljuba will bave to take quick English lessons to leara how to say “No” now that she has become glamorous. Then she'll at- tend a vocational school, and after that will come a job with either Marjae or Serbin. She may even go further with glamor and make it her career by turning model. But of one thing Ljuba is sure. She wants no more contact. with the plow. HAL BOYLE SAYS instalados los dormitorios de las pupilas, con sus bafios bellamente azulejeados y sus pasillos sencilla- mente decorados, que dan una sensacion de limpieza y de orden, jque ya la quisieran tener muchos |planteles de esa indole. Las Hermanas . profesoras se desviven por ensefiar a sus disci- pulas,.no solo instruccién, ‘sino tambien buenos modales, correc- aa cién en el trato con los demas y, Todo esto dice mucho en favor de la moral del plantel y del res- peto que’ merece a todos, por su magnifico plan de estudios, por la forma en que se desenvuelve la vida de las educandas que estan a pupilo y por el carifio y la conside- racion con que son tratadas las |nifias, por las hermanas del Con- | vento. La misma comunidad, es decir, las propias Hermanas, establecie- jron el colegio de San José, para |varones, adscrito al Convento. El edificio destinado a este nuevo plantel, esta situado em la esquina de Simonton y Catalina, extendién- dose el terreno hasta la misma calle de Duval, siendo de la exclu- “dy propiedad de la Iglesia Caté- a. Ya en 1868 existi6 una escuela Parroquial para nifios blancos, establecida y dirigida por Mr. W. J. Cappiek, bajo la supervision del sacerdote catdlico residente. Alla por elafio de 1870, se insti- tuyé en Cayo Hueso el Colegio de- nominado de San Francisco Javier, destinado a la ensefianza exclu- siva de los nifios de la raza de color. f Es innegable que la labor que han realizado esas Hermanas del | Convento de Maria Inmachlada, ha | sido la mejor y la mas provechosa de las propagandas que en benefi- haya podidi j cio de Cayo Hueso, hacerse. En Cuba se le conoce, como uno y sefioritas, existentes en lo: Estados Unidos y cada dia es ma yor el numero de educandas pr eedentes de Cuba, que vienen en busca del pan de la instruccién y de la educacién tambien, que se les ofrece por esas virtuosas y cultas hermanas. El Convento de Maria Inmacula- da cuenta ahora con un magnifico Auditorium, que puede compararse de los mejores colegios para nifas | sobre todo, un profundo respeto para los mas viejos.
