In Cape Coral, Fla., a $50,000 clubhouse is being readied for the autumn opening of the nation's first teen-age key club. Only key-carrying teen-agers (19 is the absolute age limit) will be admitted, and violators of the club's code-no smoking, no drinking, lots of pingpong and billiards-will have to hand over their keys...
