This would not mplished without the efforts and assistance of State Deputy Leonard Burt, District De- puty Charles Hartley, former Dis- preciation is also extended to the Bishop Barry Council of Coral Gables for their assistance and to the many members from Coral Gables and Miami Councils who traveled to Key West to hold the initiations and meetings. During the infant months, the Council has steadily increased in membership and is becoming more active in all phases of Knights of Columbus _ work. On October 11, 19, 1953 the Coun- cil sponsored its’ first big social affair in the form of a Columbus Day ‘Ball. The affair was a huge success and the response of the citizens was tremendous it was known then and there, that the Knights of Columbus were in Key West to stay.

Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to any good prac- tical Catholic man and the coun- cil’s members are always anxious to assist prospective members.

Island in Y a Be eco This Rock Of Ours By Bill Gibb No outfit in Key West pitches in dust problem in areas which can- with more vim and vigor than the Navy. when it comes to assisting in charitable drives. to- day, This Rock’s civilian citizens will have an opportunity to show their appreciation for the aid they have received in the past. The Na- vy Relief Society is seeking to raise $21,000. Won’t you help? The Navy Relief Society’s work is not only a definite morale boos- ter for service personnel — it also has immediate repercussions upon| ed. our town’s social problems. Every Key Wester knows how important local naval activities are to us. Let’s express our thanks by back- ing the “Command Fund Raising Campaign.” City Streets T’ve been talking with City Man- ager Vie Lang and the Director of Publie Service, Ivan Roberts. Here are a few facts concerning the City’s street paving program. (Before even commencing, let me say that both Lang and Rob- erts realize the legitimacy of the many complaints they receive with regard to street conditions. They are honestly and sincerely doing their best to remedy this situation but it must be remembered that any action taken must be in line with the City’s financial condition —not with the wishful dreams of idealists). Since March 30, over two miles of streets have been paved. This work has been accomplished with ‘the new machine purchased at that time and it has been done in spite of the fact that it has been neces- sary to conduct an experimental program which will determine what type of mixture is best suited for local conditions. The paving pro- gram has progressed from the eastern tip of the island down al- most to White St. In the meantime, street crews are busy with “cold patches” in many other areas. A plan is also being formulated to combat the The ” Weatherman Says Key West and Vicinity: Partly cloudy with scattered showers through Tuesday.

The plan consists of spraying a pro- tective coating on dusty thorough- fares and is an inexpensive, tem- porary measure only. Twenty-five Miles Officials estimate that twenty- five miles of street will be satis- factorily paved within’the next ten or eleven months. This will be a remarkable feat when the various handicaps to the job are consider- ‘We all know that the City of Key West doesn’t have much money. Workers on the street Project start off with a base salary of $38. per week, Such pay isn’t ex- actly an inducement toward get- ting steady, loyal employees. Another hindrance to progress has been the fact that no street can be paved until the contrac- or of the sewer line has received a final O. K. (You citizens would be even angrier than you are if streets were paved, only to be dug up again because of a leak in the line.) T’ve been griping about condi- tions just as much as any other Person in Key West. However, I’m sort of ashamed of myself for talk- ing so much with my mouth and not enough with my brains. The sewer line was an absolute “must” for Key West. For the first time in history, we are in a posi- tion to obtain proper sanitary fa- cilities and also enjoy the luxury of paved streets. (Eventual goal of the pavers is to complete fifty miles of first-class road surfacing). However, we're going to have to ex- ercise a little bit of tolerance and patience. | Most of us would like to own a: Cadillac or perhaps our own home. If we want these things badly enough, we’re willing to suffer the Passage of time as well as the in- convenience of working and saving in order to get them. It might not be a bad idea if we remember that the City of Key West is noth- ing more than an extension of the individual personalities of the peo- ple who live here. If all of us| were millionaires, perhaps we | could demand and get paved streets within a few weeks. Until such a miracle comes to pass, I guess we will just have to work toward our goal with the limited means at hand — slowly but sure- ly.
