COVERING THE WATERFRONT With "OLD MAN" GREEN BEHIND A SCENE WITH NEPTUNE Neptune, Father of the Sea, Exulted Invisible -Leader of the (Sea Scouts of America, looked around Key West waters on the afternoon of November 27th, 19- 46, for an opportunity to do his daily good turn. Alone on the blue, the charter boat “Heidi-Ho” rolled #nd pitch ed in short, heavy seas, her skip per grim and silent. Trolling The Stream on such a day was unprof itable. With baits dipping and skipping, it was unlikely that big game fish would be tempted to strike. The skipper had warned his party. Regardless, they had insisted. Passing by the “Heidi-Ho” Nep tune glanced into the cockpit. He stopped. He stared. He took off his glasses, wiped them, stared and stared again at the slight, elfin figure of a girl fishing with her husband. “Wow!” he breath ed, “What a gal! What a gal!” Retiring to Sand Key, he sat in the sand and drooled. “S’matter, Pop?” called Joe the Barracuda, edging in from the sea, “That blonde on the “Heidi- Ho” got you?” “Shuddup!” growled Neptune, “Go away ... no, wait, Joe!” "Make up your mind. Pop.” “Listen Joe, I gotta do my daily good turn, y’know. Red Maxwell of the “Heidi-Ho” needs a break. Go see how his party’s coming with the fishing.” “Which one? The husband or the blonde?” “Scram, roared Neptune. The grinning barracuda vanish ed in a flurry of foam. “Would that I were young again,” sighed Neptune, survey ing his bearded face in & mirror. Rent Director Has Orders To Assist Vets Get Housing New instructions assisting Mon roe County veterans in securing housing were received from Wash ington yesterday, OPA Area Rent Director L. H. Warren said today. The Key West office was di rected to see (1) that veterans get first choice to buy or rent hdtising built under the Veterans Emerg ency Housing Program, (2) that veterans get the housing at no more than the maximum ceiling price or rent set by the Federal Housing Administration when it was built and (3) that the- veter ans get substantially the same size and type of house which the FHA approved. The Rent Director will observe’ the rental rates set by FHA for; all single, two-family and multi- j family houses and the FHA sales rates for all single and two-fam- j ily dwellings. Houses built for sale under | priorities approved on or before | August 6, 1946. must be offered j for sale only to veterans during i construction and for 30 days aft- 1 er completion if not sold sooner j to a veteran. If the priority was | granted after August 6, the house must be offered for sale to veter ans exclusively during construc tion and for 60 days after comple tion, if not sold sooner to a veter an. These requirements also ap ply to resales. All units built with FHA ap proval for rent must be offered j for rent only to veterans during I construction and for 30 days after \ completion unless the unit was rented earlier to a veteran. Plac ards stating "Held for Veterans” must be displayed on the site of each house, giving ceiling price for either rent or sale until the preference period expires or a veteran buys or rents the dwell ing. OPA will carefully check all payments veterans make in ‘ order to proteet their interests, ! Basketball League! Standings GIRLS LEAGUE Club— W. L.

I "Woo-o-o-lf” wailed the wind from the sea. Hastily, the venerable Father of the Sea replaced his mirror under , the sand. "The girl on the “Heidi-Ho” has | j not caught a thing yet,” reported Joe a moment later. “And it’s her ; first time fishing.” | “You don’t say.” Neptune! | scratched his chin.

The Best Authority Soon after Viscount Astor's father purchased Clivedon, his j stately English home nekr' Maidenhead, a flood occurred in ; the Thames Valley. Lord Astor, —who was in America at the time, and being anxious to know if the beautiful grounds at Clivedon had suffer- ! ed any damage, cabled his eldest j son in England: “Send particulars : 1 of flood.” ! Now, it happened that young , Astor was in Scotland at the tinfte and had not heard of the inunda- i tion.
