THE LIONS CLUB WENT ALL OUT for both the Polio Fund and for their own Blind Fund when they presented the above
big checks to those two worthy projects at the Thursday night club meeting. March of Dimes treasurer Paul Sher was at the
meeting to receive the check for that fund.
There is an apparently “honest
thief” at large in Key West and
Paul Richardson, 701 Florida
Street, would like to thank him for
returning sl7 which was stolen
from his wife’s pocketbook in their
home two weeks ago.
Richardson, a Navy yard worker
said that two weeks ago, his wife
returned from the store and placed
her purse on a table in the hail
where it was visible from the front
door.
Shortly, a couple arrived to in
spect an apartment which they
had advertised for rent behind
their home.
When she went back into the
house, she noticed that the pocket
book was open and inspection re-

vested that the money was mis
sing.
The Richardsons' wrote the
money off as “lost'’ since they had
seen no one entering the house al
though a neighbor reported that he
had observed a “young blonde
man" knock on the door at the
same time Mrs. Richardson was
showing the apartment.
They said that he had a news
paper rolled up under his arm and
the Richardsons theorize that the
youth was answering the ad for
the apartment and had spied the
pocketbook and helped him sell.
Richardson did not report the
matter to the police since he did
not even have a complete descrip
tion of the young man.
Then, on Tuesday, Richardson
found in his mailbox, an envelope
addressed simply: 701 Florida
Street, Key West, Florida.
Inside he found exactly sl7—a
ten, a five and two one dollar bills.
Evidently conscience stricken, the
man had returned the money. Or !
perhaps he had fallen on better j
times and had considered the j
money a “loan”.
At any rate, Mr. Richardson said
that he is “happy that the money
was returned’’—not only can he

use the sl7, but he thinks that the
person who took it “may have
learned a lesson.’*
“Whoever that man is, I want to
thank him,” Richardson said, “he
made a mistake and I think he is
sorry for it. I hope he continues to
live an honest life.”
Mr. Richardson asked me to
emphasize the fact that the inci
dent has been “forgotten” and
that the person who “borrowed”
the money is in no danger of get
ting into trouble.
A bill presented to the Utility
Board at their meeting on Tues
day bore this fascinating item:
Holes, not used....s2o.
The bill was presented by the
Richardson Company (no kin to
the aforementioned) which is con
structing the Big Pine Key electric
line and represented four holes
which were dug for electric poles
and then not used because of an
error in their placement. They cost
the company five dollars each.
Merville Rosam, City Electric
System comptroller, suggested
that an engineering study be insti
tuted to find a way to transfer the
holes to Key West where he fig
ures they may be put to use.
