A CHANCE FOR CIGAR MAKERS Probably not more than 100 men now | make a bare living in the production of -hahd made Key West cigars. The time | was, as everyone knows, when several ' thousands of highly paid men and women i were engaged in the manufacture of cigars | that were justly famous and in demand all | over the world. The plight of the cigar makers here 1 might be improved with the coming of im- ‘ méhse himbers of visitors duting the next | few years if the small producers could be »btought together through the auspices of | thé Chamber of Commerée or some other SUBSCREPTION.

Consolidation of Coiinty and City Governments, Hail, Queen of the Fiesta—Bernice Brantley! Schmbéling got the smacks, and Louis got the smackers, Young Demeritt was quickly caught napping. No kidding. In one respect New York has nothing on us—Key West, too, has a Front street. | Joe Louis will pocket about $400,000 | for beating Max Schmeling. A lot of dough for a few S-Max. Congressional investigations result in the distovery of much information, but often this is the end of it. Anyway, they até not a total loss. If conditions on the highways get much worse, it might be a good idea to put _ trucks on high wheels and let other auto- - mobiles pass under them. Cuba has the record for the largest | ransom ever demanded—$300,000, some | three years ago—and Key West the smallest—-20 cents, a few days ago. “Believe it or not” Ripley published an item about a man who balanced 10,600 matches on a bottle. We ought to get this | guy to see what he can do about the bud- get.—Sanford Herald. er t ' Bs " ¥ aditient Roosevelt is quoted as say- | ing that"people are exaggerating the pres- | ent dep ion. There is no consisteney in this statement and the fact that he asked the Congress for $3,725,000,000 to com- bat the depression. Key West has a chicken-nap. When a Francis street woman found two chickens missing from her coop, she also found a | note advising her that tipless she deposited | 20 cents under a nearby stone she would _ never see her chickens alive again.

It would be an attraction matching the aqua- | rium and other points of interest and would | be the means of boosting the sales of Key West made cigars. In this connection we note that the Overseas Highway Celebration committee is preparing a comprehensive exhibit in the maifi lighthouse building at Greene and Whitehead streets. This exhibition will include exhibits loaned by the Cuban gov- | ernment, the state of Florida, the govern- ment of. Mexico, the Key West Camera club and others. Aside from the camera | club offerings, there will be nothing on | exhibit. showing the products of Key West. We believe that there should Key West exhibit. be a It should include cigar | making, a crawl of turtles, cans of turtle | soup, Key West carined pineapple, sponges with men tririming them, etc. Some of these activities are exclusively Key West. Collectively they would form one of the most interesting exhibits that could be brought together anywhere and alone would be worth the price of admission. Key West’s manufacturing activity is at present very limited. It ean be improved are brought gtaphically to the attention of visitors. Many of them now come and go unaware of what we produce. We can help our- selves if we help others discover us and out products. HERE’S A BATCH OF “DAYS” If there is anything that the Amier- ican people like better than organizations with impressive names it is special occa- sions, denominated by high-sounding titles. Last Sunday, if we mistake not, Father’s Day. Like Mother’s Day, it is be- coming highly commercialized. In most families the old man got a variety of socks, ties and whatever else acceptable-to-the- male happened to be on sale at reasonable prices duritig the week before. After- wards, he is supposed to get back into har- ness and “pull the plow” for another year. Quite frankly, we like the idea of Mother's Day, even though at the hands of many sons and daughters it has degen- erated into a perfunctory giving of gifts. Properly observed by children, in the presetice of One mother and in honor of all mothers, it has possibilities. At the same we don't .. However, for the benefit. of people who insist on having days and Confining ourselves exclusively to the family circle, we suggest that a day be set aside every year to be known as Husband's Day. Another day should be called Wife’s Day. There should be one for the first son, the second son, the thitd son and another for the first daughter, the second daughter If necessary, the proper number of fature days should be set for additional offspring. Surely, any reputabke family would want a Cook's Day, and to be fair, let’s in- elude one to be known as Yard Boy's day. As a general cover-uv, Family Day ought to help some. Moreover, there shotild be Marviage Anniversary Day, Family Doc- tor’s Day, Butcher's Day, Grocer’s Day, No-Quarrel Day, Tax-Paying Day and Méftrave Due Day. Just for good meas- iu'e, fe’s throw im a week and call it “Be Eid 'To Family Week.” We rezfet that space in The Citizen is needed for what some may consider moré impoftant subjects. Consequently, we will have to shut off our valuable flow of suggestions for future days.
