This is no time for personalities or other sideline ac- tivities that retard action and hinder com- pletion of the celebration program on aj} large and proper scale. Key West would suffer grievously if this celebration didn’t go over with a bang. Traveling salesmen reaching the city have told us this week that about every finan- cially able person in Flori da i is coming Key Westward during the péridd of the ¢éle- bration. This city must not let these visitors down. We must have a fine Fiesta. To fail in this would give us a black eye from which we would never recover. ONE WAY TO LIVE LONGER Dr. William H. Holden recently re- turned to the United States after a six- months’ expedition into British Guiana and | | Brazil. For two months, in the Amazon watershed, he lived with the so-called *white” Indians. Dr. Holden comes back to | civilization convinced that many of our dis- eases are caused by emotional strain and worry. The Indians, he says, live according to the laws of nature and are free from high | blood pressure, cancer and other diseases. | Many of them, he reportslive to be more than one hundred years old. (Takihg it ferveranten dhatsane c@nsid- | ers if desirable to escape high blood —pres- | piseases and that it isa goo. thing to live to a ri old age, | the question ¥ “what 2 chant stan we do with the information brought to us by | Dr. Holden? Certainly, no one expects civi- i lized communities to go native and give up the conveniences which have come to them through the past progress of advanced hu- man beings. Are we then to pass up the ‘hints contained in the report about the | “white” Indians? What civilized people should do, it seems to us, is to pay some attention to the state of their emotions, thus seeking to avoid the strain and worry that takes an undoubted toll. We have a tendency to live emotionally, taking life’s hurdles in a hurry, regardless of consequences. We should seek to establish a mental equilib- | rium through the discovery and adoption of a philosophy of life. The discove ought to be easy—such a philosophy has been in the world for nearly two thousand years. Aj] that remains for us to do is to adopt it in our personal existence.

WILDLIFE IN T IN THE KEYS | y EM. M. It is a curious fact that Ameri- | cans are so surrounded-by laws | SATURDAY JUNE 25, 1938. covering every conceivable con-! : tingency, that the average ¢ has lost all sense of responsibility where the general welfare of his! community is concerned. Instead of taking a personal interest in| what goes on, he is’ too ye to! indulge in destructive a times, vi¢ious activities is stopped by legal. means. ‘others words, he looks upon the various law enforcement ‘bodies as being” entitely responsible for curtailing undesirable “ practices, while he, himself, has no inter-; est in what the other man is »ai3 to do. This viewpoint was exem- plified recently in a newspaper editorial, in which the writer di ‘cussed the decadent condition society in its ‘relation to crime.‘ | After drawing a dark picture of ; the social body, with its unhea!- thy ambitions, its disregard for Christian ‘ethics and its warped thinking, he went on to say the educator, the psyclilo; ete. In Other words, you ¢an lear along; you cannot think profit- ably until you are taken in hand j by a psychologist; for yourself ; you.can do nothing. It is this sort sbof ‘shallow thinking which is re- sponsible for much of the destrae+t tion of the nafural resources of jthe country... Each man. thinks jthat- itis no affair of his. It is the jduty of the State fo attend «to ‘these things. | “How many residents of the ta? rs ‘will § Sfop and iry to put out ire near the road?

In recént months “there has been a great deal of fire damage in the Keys. Most of these fires are said to haye been started by _ carelessly thrown cigarettes on the highway.

If there is any profit -in these fires I haye mot been jj able to discover what it is. ‘My guess is that Key West will, as other communities have long since done, finally wake up to the fact that fires"are hot-profit- able, but it is to be hoped that ske will not be too long about it. The results of her present policy are dangerous and: unsightly to the extreme.
