PAGE SIX SEVENTH ANNUAL ARMY DAY TO BE CELEBRATED ON APRIL 6 Authorized by Congress, the! President of the United States,{ the governors of various states, and army units over the country, April 6 will be celebrated as the eleventh annual Army Day. An opportunity then will be af-} forded citizens, not only to pay} tribute to the Army but also to; pause in their daily tasks andj take stock of just wha‘ is neces-| sary te provide adequate security | and assurance of our national de-} fense and safety. i The Secretary of War, in add- ing his endorsement to the cere- monies, says that “ our army and our navy are invincible, the like-j lihood of their employment in ac-| tual warfare is materially reduc-! ed”. He expressed the view that “we are likewise convinced that one of the best ways by which war may be avoided is to be strong enough to resist aggres- | The Chief of Staff. General Craig, stated that “with the ac- tuai and threatened hostilities engaging the attention of many nations today, it is prudent fore- thought to consider our defen ‘ ‘The preservation of peace is not a mere passive duty. President Roosevelt, in his let- ter to Admiral Belknap, Com- mander-in-Chief, states that “in the present condition of the world, the observation of Army Day on April 6-this year will serve to focus the attention of our people on our own Nationa Defense. The American nation is committed to peace, and the prin- cipal reason for the existence of our armed forces is to guarantee Gur peace”. Continuing, Presi- dent Roosevelt expressed the “hope that the people will take the opportunity afforded by the observance of Army Day to learn more of their Army, and its role in the preservation of American peace and security”. Brig. Gen. Charles G. Dawes has accepted the post as Chair- man of the National Citizens’! Committee on Army Day. | General Pershing says, “Their! (meaning the Military Order of; the World War) practical and well directed efforts to keep alive the! patriotic spirit which animated | the country during the war, ren-| der them worthy of every con-| sideration from the active mem-j bers of the military establishment. , The Order is to be congratulated | on its recognition of the fact that; it is essential to ‘carry on’ in time} of peace the preparation to theet ! the requirements of duty in time of emergency or danger to the nation”. Henry H. Woodring, Secretary; of War, issued the following state- ment from the War pee in Washington, D. C.: “I trust that the celebration at Army Day under the sponsorship | of the Military Order of the World | War will be a splendid success. Those of us who served in the! World War are well aware of the! horrors of war, of its sorrows and of its cost in lives and treasure. We are likewise convinced that one of the ways by which war may be avoided is to be strong ~ enough to resist aggression. If @ur army and our navy are in- vincible the likelihood of their employment in actual warfare is materially reduced. If our de- fenses are secure the preserva- tion of our peace is almost cer- tain”.

With the addi-' tion of two round trips daily, it will now be-possible to make a complete round trip and spend the greater part of a day in Mi- ami and other lower east coast cities and return to Key West the same evening. It is the first time in the history of Key West and the Florida Keys that it has been possible to make a round trip to Miami and other east coast cities in a single day. For the past ten years Florida Motcs Lines has been operating one schedule each way between Key West and Miami, utilizing the old ferry service. With high ferry tolls and small demand for pas- senger transportation, the line was operating for a decade at a loss. With the completion of ad- ditional spans on the new Over- sea Highway several months ago, additional service was added to provide two trips each way daily. With elimination of fer- ries and the opening of the new Oversea Highway so that buses can travel straight through, the Florida Motor Lines has added two more schedules, giving Key West and the Keys the greatest transportation facilities they have ever had, bringing Miami hours closer to this Island City than ever before. A consistent advertising pro- gram featuring Key West has not only increased Florida Motor Lines passenger traffic, but in- duced thousands driving their own automobiles to visit this city. In fact, it was pointed out by local civic leaders, Florida Motor Lines advertising campaign featuring Key West has been the only one conducted by any organization. Direct connections will be made at Miami with all Key West-Miami buses for Jackson-/ ville and North. Most schedules will bring Jacksonville within i4 hours of Key West. New York will now be only 44 hours away} from Key West by bus. The four schedules daily be- has prepared to double its trans-. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN FLORIDA MOTOR LINES PLAN TO DOUBLE TRANSPORTATION SERVICE tween Key West and Miami will now make it possible to leave this | city in the early morning, around noon, in the afternoon and eve- ning. These schedules will be co- ordinated with the Florida Motor Limes’ state-wide transportation service to afford direct connec- tions to almost everywhere in the United States. Two of the buses will make direct connections with the Miami-New York Limit- ed. operated jointly by Florida Motor Lines and Greyhound Lines, providing direct service without change from Miami to New York and the east. Key West will be featured in all Florida Motor Lines and Grey- hound national advertising in such magazines as Saturday Eve- ning Post, Colliers, American Magazine, National Geographic and other like publications. It will also be featured in all news- Paper campaigns. “While Florida Motor Lines had continued serving Key West at a loss and working under adverse conditions of the past, its execu- tives have kept faith with the citizens of Key West in establish- ing and continuing adequate and dependable travel facilities”, said T. B. O’Steen, traffic manager of the system, in an interview today. “With opening of the new Over- sea Highway and eliminating all ferries, the bus service between! here and Miami now makes the most fascinating bus trip in the entire country. “With four trips in each direc- tion daily between Miami and Key West and a nation-wide ad- vertising program, we expect thousands of travelers to avail themselves of the fine facilities now offered by our company at such low fares”.
