PAGE TWO Oye Key West Citizen | WELCOME, DENTAL SOCIETY! Published poly, Except Sunday ay HE CITIZEN PUBLISHING CO INC. L. P. ARTMAN, President and. Publisher JOE ALLEN, Asvistant Business Manager From The Citizen ‘Building Corner Greene and Ann Streets | host to approximately 100 members of the | East Coast Dental society and their wives and families. Along with the official greetings of the city presented by Mayor Willard M. Albury this morning are now extended the openhand of friendship and the hospitality of the citizens of Key West. We hope your stay with us will be a pleas- ant one.and that you come again ard again. This city over the years has been noted for its fine rosts and hostesses. Strangers from every section of the world, from every walk of life have been wel- comed and entertained in our homes and have gone away singing the praises of our people. We feel sure the members of the dental society and their families will find the entertainment, the hospitality and the fellowship offered by our local dentists and medical men all that they have been led to expect. Some strangers visitng Key West of- ten pick up some wrong impressions of our city. Let it be explained that we are in the process of transition from the most ter- rible depression that ever struck any Amer- ican city to a new prosperity that lies ahead of us. Our citizens have been very poor. They could barely scrape together enough for the ordinary necessities, of life during the last several years let alojie rais- ing money to paint and repair their homes. While the exteriors of their homes ‘may need painting and repairing the interiors are generally adequately and ‘peautifully * furnished with pieces that have been hand- ed down from generation to generation. Their gardens and their yards are bursting with beautiful flowering trees and shrubs, with every imaginable exotic type of trop- ical flora. A tour of our highways and by- ways, not in swiftly moving cars, but afoot or on bicycle, is well worth while, and we recommend the idea to our dental friends. However, it is not the exterior of the home or its furnishings that is the import- ant thing. It is the interior of the hearts of our people. They have suffered and strug- gled for many years and have come up with smiling faces and ‘their hearts are filled with hope again ard they want the whole world to know that Key West is still a fine city in which to live.

An optimist receiving .a life sentence would console himself with the thought that life is sHort, anyway. Adie to graduates: “The sina. is not looking for the bright yéung man—it is sitting back and waiting for the bright young man to show himself.” To know one’s.own mind, to form one’s own ideas—liberty, in short—is one of the most sacred duties in life. In other words, don’t be a Charlie McCarthy, or any other dummy. A shirt tale: piece-goods from Japan. To get around the ‘law, Japanese merchants shipped shirts ‘with tails several yards long,’ so purchas- ers could get piece-goods by cutting off the extra length of tail. Now, officials must decide what length a shirt tail may be under the law. This country has plenty of money. What it needs is peaple who have it, to use it. They won’t use it, however, without protection or hope of reward. Where is the fool gardener who will plant his seed with- out giving thought to its possible growth?

The thief had dropped a pocketbook containing $60. Miss Olene Wooten of Glasgow, Ky., had Haiden Basil arrested for wrecking her car. At the police station Basil asked the complainant to talk it over with him. In a few minutes Miss Wooten requested permission to withdraw the complaint, ex- plaining that she and Basil were going to be married. When President Roosevelt laid aside | the cares of state for the best» part of an | hour recently to listen to plans for the Overseas Celebration presented by the Key West délegation to invite him to attend, he took pride in saying that he had been instrumental in saving $800,000 on the | Overseas bridges by insisting on a one-way treffic lane instead of two as planned by the engineers. The President expressed pleased surprise when told that the engi- neers had put throagh a two-lane highway over the bridges ony way and had still kept YM the loon limit. Even then the bridce commissign had a yset Witte san kt f other purposes, Miss Loreen Mac Donald, 18-year-old Canadian telephone operator, will shortly matry Daniel G.

(2) Bodies of victims are usually found near the scene of the crime, because transport to any great distance may lead to quick detection. Both the Lind- bergh and Cash children’s bodies were found near the residence from which they were kidnaped. (3) There will probably again be a great deal of mystery as to the identity of others involved in the crime, as was the case in the Lindbergh affair. (4) That immediate notifica- tion of the police will not bring results. Because parents deal with a ruthless, criminal type. It still remains a question that if J. B. Cash, Sr., had worked alone to contact the kidnapers, with pos- sibly a close friend or relative to think soberly for ‘him, the child! ,might have been saved. Though justice ‘would have been defeated. (5) That justice in this kid- naping case, as in many others, will be fulfilled probably only to an incomplete extent, with no confession of the actual murder obtainable. INSURGENT OPPOSITION True to war correspondent Ern- est Hemingway‘s prediction, the Insurgent armies are still finding | it difficult to conquer Loyalist Spain. Although they are mov- ing forward at secondary points they are blocked where the main | Loyalist armies-are centered. This is in the march ‘to the sea which Franco has been ‘making for some | time. Reports that Germany and ; Italy would maintain military ; rule in Spain after the war is over | increased fear in Insurgent Spain, and new Moor and Riff troops | were ordered to the front. Ac- cording to Hemingway, there are not many of these left. England | \and France ‘have both protested , irresponsible ‘bombings of British | shipping and French towns. | France has ‘announced ‘that it will | shoot down all Insurgent planes, over French skies. England will | seize Insurgent ships as a retalia- tion measure if more of her ships are bombed. AGGRESS CZECHS Heavy blows have been rained on the Czechoslovakian govern- mental body. With the new or- der for increased mobilization | from compulsory two- to three- year military service, German aggression began in earnest from the Sudeten section of Czechoslo- vakia yesterday. Recently Hen- lein's press statement that his ter- ritory would resort to armed re- volt if necessary brought a sharp | “sub rosa” rebuke from Berlin. The time was not ripe for such a/ statement. But telling blows are now being delivered. Prague | newspapers said that only 52 per- wtent of the Czech army are ; Czech, that the rest. would’ Tag doubtful) fighters in aise of * press also they j ernment of getting it’ new ‘mili- tary orders from Moscow, and dwelt on the increased taxation which would result from the pro- gram, concluding with the state- ment that Germany's army could easily conquer the country. The attitade toward German annexa- tion is very definitely taken there. This column, however, does not believe that Germany will take all of Czechoslovakia without armed rebellion. But it may take a portion of the country which belonged to it before the World War. NOT REALLY COMPROMISE A few more additions to the compromise on the wage-hour _ bill has been made. Forty hours a week, less than seven hours a jday has been decided, to add to the proposals to have 25 cents an hour for the first year, 30 cents the second and advisory boards which will consider prevailing living scales, rates of pay afd eco- nomic healths of various indus- tries and dictate if the pay is to be boosted to 40 cents an hour within seven years. Another bloc of southern senators oppose this phase of the compromise. Know- ing polities as they do they say that the rates will go up to 40 cents an hour almost definitely and that therefore this is not a compromise. The burden of hon- esty and ability rests on the ad- visory boards, a hangover of the jold NARA. Gays, which were not ive-y effective. On the surface yy. (takes asa “Obtaitt thb* rae oe census. KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files of The Citizen Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, suc- cessful candidate for Congress from the Fourth congressional district, on Saturday expressed her appreciation of the support which was given her in Key West in,the primary election, and to the Key West Citizen for its co-operation. “I want to thank the voters of Monroe County for the splendid majority by which they have nominated me for representative in Congress and The Citizen for its fine co-opera- tion. Words cannot express my appreciation for this loyal sup- port. I cannot but show my | gratitude by devoted service to, the service of our state and this I will render to the best of my/ ability. I am proud to feel that Key West has adopted me and I can assure the city of its adopted daughter’s loyal friendship. Captain R. W. McNeely, com- mandant of the Seventh Naval District will leaye this evening for Jacksonville where he will be | met by Captain J. R. Peterson, and Lieutenant Paul Cooney, who left Saturday evening and start- ed on an inspection tour of na- val activities of Florida. From Jacksonville they will go to St. , Augustine to inspect the naval radio station there. At Orlando. they will inspect the communi- | cation service station, which is| conceded to be the most exten- sive and modern division of the naval reserve. Captain McNeely says it is one of the best in the United States, and has been |taken as a model by the navy department. It is a credit to the navy and the State of Florida. The naval radio station at Jupi- ter, conceded to be the best on | the East Coast, is to be included in the trip. Inspection of ‘the navy reserves at Miami will complete the tour.
