A frost in Key West would be as odd as a snow in Tampa.—Times- Union, But there was a Frost in Key West recently, William C. to be exact. Within the next two years the public debt of the United States will reach the all- high peak of $31,834,000,000. With such @ vast sum, almost incomprehensible, star- ing him in the face Uncle Sam _ will very probably keep his nose out of European affairs and not become involyed in war, and alazo will not be so eager to Jend his money, though that probability has been done away with by the defaulting nations themselves. Fort Pierce has secured sufficient funds from the CWA to develop a muni- cipal recreational field. The plans call for a large enclosed basketball court, diamond- ‘yall and baseball fields, and other recrea- tional features. If there isa place any- where that is in need of just such a recrea- tional field, it is Key West. When next any money is available for other projects, an urgent request for such improvement should be included by all means. eneral | WORK, BUSINESS, MORALE decided impetus by the CWA, CWS and FERA payrolls. While the money goes directly to the Men and women working and those, ae be able to work, who are receiving direct re- lief, yet practically all of it finds its way into the channel of local trade. For the first time in many a day, local stores have been so crowded. their business | could rightly be characterized as “rush- ing. For seyeral years, with occasional exceptions, customers could be waited on ‘| readily, but the last few weeks they have frequently had to wait their turns to be served, But, in the case of CWA, it not only thas made business better, but has also giv- ep and will further give improvements in | Key West that redound substantially to the progress of the community. While many of our streets have been put in good condition and further improv- } ed, particularly the main streets that will | be resurfaced with oil and sand, the out- standing improvement unquestionably will be the Key West Aquarium. Though the foundation for.the -aqua-|. rium is barely started it is attracting con- siderable interest among. tourists... here, many of whom, having heard. about . the project, have gone to the site to seé thé progress of the work. , Some of those tourists, as was easy to gather from their observations, have been in Key West befofe and are familiar with it as a center of hundreds of varieties of tropical or semi-tropical fish. Key West, according to their view, | will be in a better position, after the aquarium is completed, to exhibit a greater diversity of salt-water fish than any other city in the United States. The CWA work, therefore is benefit- ing Key West in two ways, giving it worth- while improvements and payrolls that have | boosted business in the city. And it has given Key West another thing, though not of a substantial: nature, yet something that is necessary to the pro- gress of the country: Strengthening the morale of the people. A dozen and one things produce con- tentment, but the best and most lasting of them is remunerative work. Corrobora- tion of that truth is ample in:Key West. A few months ago this was a city of discon- tentment, generally speaking; now it is a city of contentment, speaking in the same manner, and work, with resultant payrolls, has brought about that difference in atti- tude. THE CAUSE OF OUR DEPRESSION There are some people in the United States who do not, even now, understand that the fundamental mistake in the econ- omic affairs of this country was the failure of statesmen and business leaders to realize what was happening to agriculture in the decade prior to 1933. Not until the buying power of farmers; collapced and they reached the stage|| where, after raising erops, the returns were! insufficient to:meet expenses, plus taxeel dh and interest, did the so-called leaders de-| cide that something must be done: By that} time, however, the virtual ‘bankruptcy of} ‘63,000,000 people had effected every line of business and a panic was inevitable. Basically, American prosperity de- pends upon farmers’ buying power. Little of farm income remains on the farm. Al- most all of it, being newly created, cir- culates as the farmer and his family pur- chase what they need. Hence the money that farmers receive for their products is almost pure purchasing power. To understand the farmer's plight let us remember that in 1929 the gross farm income was 11.9 billion dollars. In 1932 it was about 5 billions. This affected 44 per cent of our population, including those who live on the farms, together with the population of smal! towns and villages di- | Cutter Saukee arrived in port] rectly dependent upon farmers. for their | trade. Naturally, the ill-fortune of 44 per cent had a harmful effect on the remain- ing 56 per cent of the people of the nation. To any person cognizant of the steady decline of agricultural profits during re- cent years the national debacle was not} surprising. The amazing factor ix that artificial stimulation should have sustained | unbridled speculation as long as it did. Really astounding was the failure of busi- ness and financial leaders to understand what was in process throughout America. ; | Business in Key West has been given a| ACROSS , Walked in ‘ater .

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY} Happenings Here Just 10 Years 1° Today As Taken From Files Of The Citizen At the meeting of the county commissioners last night eight bids for the $300,000 bond issue, approved by freeholders at the special election in October, were opened. Caldwell and company of « Birmingham, Ala,, offered the best | price and the sale was made to them. They bid $295,005. It is expected the money for the bonds will be available in about one month and it is the intention of the commissioners to arrange at once for work on the roads and bridges. The first thing that dead bects and snowbirds do when they ar- rive in a city is to look at the newspapers for information rela- tive to the treatment accorded hoboes. That the news in The Citizen was not very encouraging to those here recently is evidenced by the absolute absence of any of ee these folks.in Key West. _—_—- ip, |, Words of p on every side, and due, is the opinion of a mata of people who are critics of music and have only words of the highest commendation to say for the local organization.
