Liees for & from which PUBLICIZING KEY WEST Pessimistic persons of Key West and Monroe county lately have been heard in corner conversations predicting failure for the Overseas Highway celebration July elsewhere in the past, they do not believe, according to their own statements, there will be a large crowd here and if there is, | “what are we going te do with it?” ‘The answer to that question is being supplied by Chairman John Costar of the celebration committee, Mayor Willard. M. Albury, General Manager Warren Smith, Raymond. Delgado, president of the Cuban club, Enrique Esquinaldo, Sr., president of San Carlos Institute, and a score or more of other civic leaders. While the’ pess mists are planting their poisonous seeds in other skeptical minds, these leaders are going ahead with plans for attracting a large crowd to Key West for the celebra- tion and for handling those crowds after they arrive. This week, for example, Messrs. Cos- tar, Albury, Smith, Delgado and Es- quinaldo, will appear before the President of Cuba, Colonel Fulgencio Batista and ‘MISS BARBARA. | pecccvcccccccecececececs A TWIRL OF | THE GLOBE (Opinions expressed in this column do not necessarily agree with those of The Citi- zen). 2eeeeeecseee eecoe KIDNAPING NEAR HERE The shadow of the ruthless kid- |naping hand fell over South 'Florida yesterday.

Sure it is; without cannon fodder there would be no war. Since the opening of the Overseas Highway to the public, Miami has_bene- fited greatly and with the trade balance vastly in her favor. So far we've been giving and not getting. H. Bond Bliss, staff writer for the Miami Herald, is constantly being shower- ed with brick-bats and bouquets. He is an intelligent writer and well versed, but his choppy style irritates. Yet, as Bris- bane often quoted, “Le _ style, e’est Vhomme.” William T. Comer, Orlando bend salesman and former Marine, was elected commander of the Florida Department of the American Legion Conyention at its closing session Saturday~afternoon. This column understands the selection has been favoiMbly Receive? every Where. In other words, they are doing some- | thing to make the eelebration the suecess it can and will be. Thumb-twiddling and idle talk will accomplish exactly nothing. It takes work, teamwork of the highest type, to arrange and conduct an event of this size and importance. Those unable to put their shoulder against the wheel of ef- fort can at least follow the example of one of our city firemen who contributed a $50 pay warrant to the celebration committee with instructions to use the proceeds to “the best advantage.” That is the spirit needed to put this celebration over. Even though it may not be the largest event of its kind in Florida history, surely the publicity the city is get- ting in all seetions of the country, in Mexico and in Cuba is worth a lot to the city. Pub- lieity, in facet, is one of the more im- portant parts of any prografn designed to put a vacation city before the public. AN OLD-TIME PITCHER Taking time out from writing of pres- ent-day baseball stars, an anonymous scribe recalls some feats of one of the greatest pitchers of all time, Cy Young, who won 511 games during his brilliant career, a record which still stands after 25 years. Young pitched 874 games as a profes- sional, also a record, and was active in the game for 22 years, retiring in 1912. His best year was 1892, when he won 36 games. He won 33 in 1893, 25 im 1894, and 35 in 1895. During his carreer he pitched three no-hit games, and at one time turned in 23 consecutive innings of no-hit hurling. For 14 successive seasons he won 20 games or more. hein ngating. 10 old. Ge i still active, and recently has been an in- is strung out 250 miles to the Harris of this city, brother-in-law |south.

Sinee at least 75 per cent of the population of the United States think it is simply a fantastic plan to fool the old- sters, it follows, according to the assertion of the correspondent, that only about 25 per cent of our population is civilized.

DICTATORS OPTIMISTIC Tt is not easy to dismiss the meeting of the dietators in Rome when one econ- siders the past record of Messrs. Mussolini and Hitler. Italian sources indieate that the meet- img was a great suceess and that no ques- tions were left open between the two powers. It is hinted that an agreement, eovering future contingencies, has been ade and that there is no power in the world to withstand the combined might of the two central European nations, his revolting peasants were taken prisoner and much of his muni- tions secured.
