It is too bad that much of the burden in reaching out for important improvements and developments should fall upon a relatively few far-sighted, pub- spirited and unselfish citizens. It just | seems to be human nature for the majority | | to do nothing except criticise the mistakes of the working minority. However, that minority is plugging |-along the best it can and is now planning to do something about extension of the intra-coastal waterway from Bahia Honda | to Key West. Notices received by The Citizen yesterday announce the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association will meet in Washington, D. C., Nov. 16-18 for its | 81st annual convention. It is interesting and disappointing to note the official an- cept for what is termed a “missing ti across thelstate of New Jersey “<2... Key West Chamber of Commerce and other } organizations for a deepervinside channek _over the 40-mile stretch from’ Bahia Honda | to this city? The association cannot right- fully claim the coastal waterway is com- plete urless it is'extended all the way to Key West. At present the channel is no deeper than two feet in some stretches, at low water periods between this city and laden fishing boats must use Hawk Chan- nel outside, where the water is sometimes pretty rough. The Key West application is at pres- ent awaiting approval of the U. S. Board of Engineers. The Chamber of Commerce and other civic groups should make im- mediate inquiry td determine when the ap- plication will be given final consideration in order that’ the matter may be laid be- | fore the convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association. Florida officers of the association are H. H. Buckman, vice president, W. F. Coachman, Jr., director- at-large, E. G. Sewell, vice president-at- large,,-and:R..G. Patterson, director. E. G. Sewell is a former mayor of Miami and might be induced to interest himself in the Bahia Honda-Key West project. Importance of making it easy and safe for yachtsmen to reach Key West cannot be over-emphasized. We have fine harbor facilities, the finest fishing grounds in the | world and excellent equipment, stores and shops for servicing yachts of all sizes. Im- West will benefit everyone and every com- | mercial interest. THE TOURIST BUSINESS (Sanford Herald) Speaking of tourists and what they mean to a | community, the Griffith Advertising Agency in St. Petersburg points out that the tourist business | is fickle, changes from year te;gqary The | fact | that Sanford has gotten very little of this business in years gone by is no reason at all why it | shouldn’t get it in the future if it goes after it. Here are a few facts on the tourist business and how to get it which the Agency has recently released: 1. America spends annually for travel and vacations approximately five billion dollars. Flor- ida annually receives approximately $250,000,000 or 5 per cent of the total 2. The world annually spends about ten miljion dollars to advertise to the American tourist ard vacationist. “3. Last year American communities spent a total of some $3,500,000 to attract tourist business. This was an increase over the previous year of 63 per cent. } 4 Among those agencies competing for the American tourist dollars are: 28 states Qver 400 individual cities and regions Many foreign countries, Railroads Steamship lines Air lines Private travel agencies 5. The Tourist Dollar, when it comes into a community, comes from outside and adds to the } total of local prosperity. It flows into local trade channels and directly or indirectly benefits every citizen of the community. 6. Tourist business is fickle. It likes change. nouncements of the convention stress that | ithe intra-coastal waterway is complete ek ’ Bahia Honda, so that yachtsmen and deep- | provement of the inside waterway to Key THE KEY WEST CITIZEN |"KEY WEST IN" DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files of The Citizen An enthusiastic and largely at-| (tended democratic rally was stag-' ied last night at Bayview Park where several local speakers were | heard during the evening. The meeting was presided over by Judge J. Vining Harris, president of the Key West Club, who acted as chairman and introduced the speakers. thing on the program was the recital of a poem by a 14-year- old boy, Antonio Lopez. The sub- ject of the poem was “Why Can't A Catholic Fill The Presidential Chair?” The poem was an excel- lent composition and cited where Catholics have ever taken an ‘active part in the affairs of the (country and wondering why there should be objections on the part of any one against a mem- ber of that religion becoming State Senator Wm. H What about the application of the inthe South has been plac danger. George Brook, arn fdent ofidhd Young Men’s Demo- cratic Club, and Jose Marquez made addresses, and the closing jaddress was made by Judge Har- ris, who made an eloquent ap- peal to the Democrats of Monroe ‘county to get out, get busy and do: as much as possible for the party during the intervening days of the election. With a razor in either hand, Alex Major made an assault on another negro at Marathon last night, and cut his opponent 17 times. He pleaded guilty when arraigned in court before Judge Hugh Gunn for preliminary hear- | | ing yesterday, and the judge de- cided that $250 was_ sufficient bond. He went to jail in default of bail. Major will be charged | with assault wiht intent to com-' mit murder.
