And Mrs. Cancio Entertain In Honor Of Cuban Army-Navy Day The lovely reception given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Mo- rales. by Capt. and Mrs. Humberto Cancio on Saturday evening in honor. of Cuban Army-Navy Day was but one more proof of the close tics between Key West and the Island Republic. Arriving guests were greeted by the hosts and escorted to the lawn where a buffet table, centered by a simple but effective ar- rangement of aurelia, was the focal point of the beautiful setting. Mrs. Cancio, a petite brunette, was beautifully gowned in an au- tumn print on white’ background,while Mrs. Morales chose a simple white sheath dress in heavy white Miss Margarita Morales, who as- sited: her parents, was charming in a gold linen embroidered in white. ‘The officers of the “Maximo Go- mez,” Cuban Navy Frigate, now training at the Fleet Sonar School were in dress whites as were many of the American Naval officers who were present. — The buffet table was covered with a.red cloth and typical Span- ish hors d’oeuvres were served. There were many oh’s and ah’s from the guests when they saw the huge trays‘of croquetas, empana- das and ¢olored rolls stuffed with a spicy pate. Everything carried out the pa- triotig theme of the evening and therg was much light-hearted jest- inggand toasts to “our good neigh- Naturally, the Fiesta that will mark the sailing of the ferry be- tween Key West and Cardenas was one of the main topics of conver- sation. One interesting fact that, was brought out was that Cardenas is the “Cradle of Cuban Indepen- dence” and of course, much of the planning of the revoltuion that gave Cuba hef independence from Spain took place in Key West. Several of the wives of the Cu- ban officers accompanied their hus- bands to Key West and were pre- sent at the reception. They are Senora Felix 0. Com- esanas, Senora Joaquin - Machin, Senora Carlos Martinez and Seno- ra Jesus Choca. All the ladies expressed their in- terest in Key West and the hope that during the two months the boat is expected to remain in port that they could meet “many resi- dents.” About a hundred Naval officers, their wives, and prominent civi- lians were guests at the party, embossed cotton.

Air Conditioning Installed At Church Air conditioning has now been installed, for the first time, in one of Key West’s churches. The mem- and guests of the Latin Am- erican Baptist Church on White Street now enjoy services in a cool comfort, ' The necessary equipment was installed last week. It was donated to the church by Rev. A. D. O’Bri- ant, the English minister. O'Briant, in addition to being with the church, is also a local business man. Church officials: were worried that people passing the church on Sunday and seeing the doors closed would think that the services are cancelled.
