Spiritually speaking, we have good | reason to be thankful always for being! alive and doubly thankful for being ative | and well also, but this Thanksgiving Day} we should: give wholehearted thanks be- sides for the promotion of our material That material aid has been given us| st) by the FERA, of which, due to arrange | ments initiated and perfected by Governor Sholtz and Administrator Stone, we have been something of a special ward. Tt was by their decision primarily that Key West was selected for rehabilita- tion, and, so The Citizen has been in- formed, that objective will be attained be- fore the FERA work is completed here. Many Key Westers, who are New | Deéalets and are in fall accord with the! FERA principles, have been critically im- | patient because more constructive work | has not been done in Key West. i It seems to many of us on the outside } that this and that and the other thing | could have been accomplished, but we | take that view because We are not familiar | with the obstacles that the FERA has met j in its work in this community. Those obstacles could not be over- come in a day, a week, or a month—the | chief one of them has not been overcome | yet—, but gradually they have been eli-' minated, with a corresponding increase in } the volame of constructive work, and The | Citizen has been assured that when the! chief obstacle has been removed projects | that will be of a lasting nature will be} started. But even in the face of present condi- ! tions, one is not justified in declaring that “nothing constructive” has been done in| Key West. i | Encliantwient ii fhe moon; The breezes iY the palm trees Sigh « whispered little tune.

Headline says “Mrs. “Vanderbilt Is Again Under Fire.” No wonder she’s so hot. This is one year Key West can be thenkfal for many things, and one in par- ticular. Stars have been falling on Alabama. dust have a look at her undefeated foot- ball heroes. Even the Republican party can be ! thankfal for something. Thankful that it has its name left. We often wonder why the Bible con- tinges to be the best seer when so few people ever wear one out. Forward looking residents of Key West are now thinking up resolutions for 1935 and excuses for 1934. Look out for anything that some- body is selling on the argument of “cheap- ness.” Not how cheap but how good should be the watchword. Roosevelt the First wielded the : j } | Stick. Presidential Candidate Huey Long has a similatly effective weapon im his Red Stick (Baton Rouge.) The danger of tolerating vice and folly is that we grow fond of them in time, or as the poet expresses it “we first pity then endare, then embrace.” The advantage of having only pastenger train in and one out of Key West, is in the fact there is no chance for | a coltision. Always something for which | to be thankfal.

Promoting the well-being of onr fel- | lowmen is the most constractive work a government or an individual can do. Zi See Five basketball | e played at the A iast night.
