Quite récently Ernest’ F. Coe, execu- tise chairman of the Everglades National Park Association, has beer with a party ex- ploring in the park area and in’ Miami a few | days ago told about the trip. Although Mr. €oe had often been in the Everglades and was familiar with a considerable part of the lands which are offered. ‘for a Na- tional Park, he found much that was'inter- esting and, to him, new and important: The | latest trip into the park area ‘was made on ‘a houseboat. ». Mr. Coe’s deseription of the “Johnson hammock” would gain attention of all who seek something different in landscape and scene. * * * * * * “The mute shell mounds these people left behind them,” said Mr, Coe, telling of is now regarded as jungle wilderness, “tell no tales. One of the mounds in this vast mangrove forest region is known as John- son’s hammock. It is located several man’s River. Growing in this.hammock are five dozen and more stately native roy- al palms in a. loosely disposed group. Whether these giant palms owe their pres- ence there to having been brought over by pre-historic peoples who built’ these shell mounds, and there made their homes, or to ') natural causes will never be known. Cer- ih tat of @ commit- tee which crime and ra¢ket- ! ant entered his room and stole his pants—also $400, which is too muclr money for even a Senator to be car- tying around. oo ” Handsome Adolph Hitler, the German dictator, advises his fellow countrymen about marriage, saying, “choose a good, in- duatrious, and pure girl, who is an adept ‘housekeeper, with an affection for chil- dren.” The line will please form on the right. . King Gustav of Sweden is a good sport. ong the many letters-received on his birthday’ was one which read: “Dar- “ean you meet me this evening at our i rendezvous?” :Glancing at the en- he,saw that the letter was: nob. ine. tended for him, but for a sailor on the war- ‘ship Gustav V. He wired the captain to grant the sailor leave for the evening. ; That “helt hath no fury like a woman “scorned” was again demonstrated at ‘Vrasta, Bulgaria, the other day when a jilted sweetheart interrupted a marriage ceremony. The press dispatch said that “stung by the sight of her former lover marrying another, she rushed at the bride and tore off her veil and wedding gown with such violence that only a quick hud- dle by the bridesmaids prevented a Lady Godiva scene.” The infuriated. girl was hustled away, however, and the wedding proceeded. Nomo Yakson, who says he is an Osage Tndiaw from Oklahoma, is Naving the time of his life traveling on free transportation with free eats. Deported from San Fran- cisco as a Mexican, he was refused en- trance into Mexico; he was likewise denied Sanctuary in Horidaras, Salvador and Gua- temala. He is being shunted back and forth on merchant ships; but can’t land anywhere. But he is perfectly happy, en- joying a prolonged period of “good eats; no work.” tain it is that they are there today, majestic in their towering proportions.” _ i 4 Phere was much more in the. story, and yet Mr. Coe does not suggest that he can adequately describe the great beauty and interest of this “wild land” and its wonderful royal palms and other magnifi- eent trees and tropical flowers and growth. “No finer example of the native royal palm in a natural grouping is probably extant today,” he said. “These palms, together with the other native trees of the tropics composing the growth of the. hammock, as well as the archaeologic interests obtain- ing there, mark the preservation of this hammock as a matter of no‘ional concern,” Bringing the Everglades Park into the National Park system of the country will mean much for Florida, Congressional ac- tion bringing the section into greater promi- nence, and naturally attracting many na- ture lovers to visit the wondérfully beauti- ful area. There will, of course, be. some work done to make accessible places where now it is nearly impossible to penetrate, | but nothing would be undertaken’ ‘that would affect the tropic growths or disturb the birds and wild life now inhabiting the fends... Of, greatest importance would be the Federal supervision and protection ‘af- forded the Everglades Park, wheti taken in- te the national system. HERE IS SOMETHING FOR ALL OF US Figures published in Railroad Data for September 8, contain information that should cheer millions of people. Net railway operating income was shown to be $216,704,345 in the first seven months of 1983, compared with $120,900,- 560 for the same period in 1932. This was a return of 1.64 pereent om the properties, instead of 0.91 percent in 1932: While the retar so far this year is far below any reasonable figare, the fact that it is more thaw 50 percent above last year, is an encouraging sign. Just think what it would mean to this country if the railroads were placed in a position where they could earn a “fair re- turn.” Hundreds of thousands of new jobs would be created on railroads and in other industries which furnish hundreds of millions of dollars worth of supplies an- nually to our transportation systems. Every citizen in the United States has a very definite interest in railroad prosper- ity for it affects the earning power and pocketbook of each of us, 3 tt = I SES SRN ~ = LEAS SEB KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY; Happenings Here: Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen There were 320,000 more cigars manufactured in Key West during the month of September than were manufactured during the previous mionth, says Collector of Internal Revenue Joseph Uhrbach. The total number made was 4,344,610 and the revenue in stamps totalled $25,944.35. Reports from all factories show they are working at full capacity and with the re- ceipt of holiday orders, now com- ing in, the forees will be kept con- tinually busy for the next two months. One manufacturer stat- ed the increase in demand for Key West cigars started long be- fore the holiday ordérs started to come in. Mrs. Mizpah DeBoe, member of the faculty of the high school, whe has been spending her vacation in Tennessee is expected to return to Key West tomorrow. During her absence she has visited a num- ber of schools, making a study of ne methods employed.

The oil tender Reaper, bound for New York, picked up the mot- or launch Maria, of Havana, Cuba. this morning in the Gulf Stream. The vessel was in a leaking con- dition. Four passengers on the launch were Geraldo Cabanas, Key West, Aurelio Hidalgo, Atel ano Gomez and Jose Sierra, of Ha- vana. The Ivy met the tanker, took the launch in tow and came to Key West.
