Both changes were made through legislative acts. How- ry ¢ ing from aldermen to councilmen was merely gubstituting ‘one name for another, because. all other city berry cay vere elected under the aldermanic form were elected also when the name was changed to Council. “Doubtless, there will be a decided stepping-up in reg- istration. Thousands of Key Westers, who have not regis- _ tered, intend to do so. They are putting off registering from day to day because they know they have much time » 4m which to qualify.

Those who decided to wait to build a house until prices went down, in 1945, are still waiting. Recent studies show newspaper advertising is the bar- gain.of the advertising world.

El me la facilité para que ta .te- cara,” ™ “Pero usted debe saber que esa Ne es misica religivsa. Esa es un canto patridtico.” “Si lo es, yo lo ignore, Me limité a tocarle, complaciende a mi amigo el Sr. Figueredo.”’ No satisfecho el Gobernador, hizo venir a su presencia al propio Perucho Figueredo. “Sefior Figueredo—le dijo— Us- ted se ha excedido al faciltarie al Sr. Muiiez una marcha, que nada tiene de religiosa y si mucho de patriética.” “Seftor Gobernador— respondié Figueredo— No me equivoco al even among themselves, as “The Forty Thieves.” Bermuda has.known many eco- nomic ups and downs.in the last three centuries.

He admits that such characters are showy and atfract much attention. “But I don’t want to get typed as a sadisic killer,” he said. “I ‘like being an actor, and I know you have to get varied roles to stay in business.” : He says his fan mail supports his theory. He gets a lot of letters to the effect of ‘Don’t let them type you in pictures.” Right now he’s getting his wish.
