HIGHWAY PUBLICITY | The honeymoon days of free publicity for the Overseas Highway are over. When construction of this most unique and un- usual roadway spanning the waters to the was nearing completion the woods were filed with idling photograph- | ers, avid writers and nomadic newsreel , cameramen. They pounced on the_ high- way for material to fill the hoppers of magazines, newspapers and other periodi- | cals, The highway and Key West received affine volume of highelass advertising without effort and without cost. From this time forward, however, such publicity must be bought and paid for. Trained writers must be employed to keep the highway and Key West before the public eye. Advertising space must be obtained in newspapers and magazines reaching the greatest possible number of ' Florida-bound tourists and writer visitors. mainland Booklets must be spread into every section It takes money and plenty of it to keep tourist communities up | forward with the leaders in the fierce com- petitive fight for vacation dollars. At present the only Monroe county of the Americas. agency financially able to handle such a’ publicity, drive is the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge district. It is fitting, there- fore, that the bridge commission should in- clude an appropriation in its budget for advertising and publicity. Though small, only $12,000, the allowance for this pur- pose js at Jeast a start in the right direc- tion. As a start toward getting the adver- tising program under way the commission last week appointed a member of a Miami advertising firm as publicity director. There appears to be just one fly in this publicity ointment. Some time ago the state attorney general ruled the Over- seas Road and Toll Bridge district had no legal authority to appropriate money for advertising and publicity and two upstate members of the commission, Messrs. John Slade and John Kennedy, successfully blocked an appropriation of $3,000 to the Key West Overseas Highway Celebration July 4. The Key West majority of the commission, Messrs. John W. Costar, Wil- lard M. Albury and C. C. Symonette, voted the appropriation. At the meeting appointing the pub- | licity director only Chairman Slade was absent. The other members of the com- mission, including Commissioner Kennedy, approved the appointment. Counsel Paul | Marks verbally expressed the opinion the | action was legal, but has promised a writ- The record for difficulty in parking | is probably held by Noah who rowed his | ark for forty days before he found a place | to park, ten opinion on it. It seems to The Citizen that if the ap- pointment stands and if the publicity direc- tor spends any of the $12,000 for advertis- | | ing, the bridge commission is morally, if One reason why society is what it is, ean be seen when one contemplates the » compensation given a football coach and a | professor, , Big men laugh at the diatribes of lit- tle men, and why shouldn’t they! If they didn’t they would assume the stature of the little fellows. This machine age! One modern ma- chine for making electric lamp bulbs can turn out 500,000 bulbs a day—the work of 500 glassblowers. Trying to fool the people is under- stood to be out of date, but you would have a hard time trying to make a lot of poli- ticians believe it. There’s a difference of opinion among , the theorists as to the results of smoking, but the average smoker has no doubt about | what he is going to do. A horse will eat until he founders himself so only a certain amount of food is placed before him, That’s where we get the expression, probably, that he “eats like a horse.” With Key West definitely of interest nationally, newspapers are anxiously awaiting fishing tales from the Island City. The Jacksonville Times Union reg- ularly uses the unusua tales of fish lore originating in this port. And many of the smaller Florida newspapers are picking up the articles from The Citizen.

The celebration produced more than sufficient tolls for the bridge district during the three-day period of the fiesta to cover that appropriation. Payment of this sum will remove the only valid grounds for protests against expenditures for ad- vertising the Overseas Highway. POT AND KETTLE Quite regularly we hear a_ terrible wail about lobbies at Washington, which would indicate that our Senators and Con- gressmen are being “influenced” against their will by designing persons who would mould them to their heart’s desire. This is a lot of bunk. In the first place, if a member of Congress has not sense enough or courage enough to form his own opinions and act upon them, he ought to resign and go home. Besides, there is no reason to condemn lobbyists for one class and commend lobbyists for another class. Every important group in the nation has its lobbyists in Washington. The farmers have their lobby, so have the labor unions, the veterans, the hibitionists, the blue law advocates, the various industries—in fact every conceiv- able class, either constantly or at inter- vals, is importuning Congress to do, or not te do, this or that. As intimated above, if Congressmen are fit to be Congressmen there is little harm in the long run in having representa- tives of various groups in Washington to present their views and give information respecting them. There is little sincerity in lobbyists of one group denouncing lobbyists of an op- posing group. It is a case of the pot call- ing the kettle black. 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 Captain Arthur H. Sheppard, commander of the Drum and Bugle Corps, Knights of th Golden Eagle, which recently won high honors in Havana in competition with other similar organizations, which were at- tending the United States War Veterans’ convention, has been informed that the silver cup won by the Key West unit will be forwarded to this city and turn- ed over to Cuban Consul Jorge Ponce for presentation at a time to be set in the near future. Miss ‘Candida Cruz Miranda, who act- ,ed as interpreter on several oc- caions while the convention was being held and made a never-to- be-forgotten speech, has been ex- tended an invitation to visit Flor- ida and from all accounts it ap- pears from advices received that the Cuban lady will pay a visit’ to Key, ; pian Sheppard stated tra "fhe address delivered by, ,.

The colorful Hallowe’en pag- eant put on last night by Union Carabina Society was one of the mest extensive, beautiful and successful parades ever giv- en in the city. The long column of marchers in regalia and cos- tumes interspersing a parade of many beautifully decorated auto- mobiles carrying girls and chil- dren was headed by the Knights cf the Golden, Eagle Drum Corps land there were many compli- ments on the manner in which} | the affair was handled. Following the parade a dance was held at \the K. C. Hut. Three prominent attorneys Miami will speak in Key West to- ‘night at Bayview Park at the big |Democratic gathering, which will start at 8 o’clock.
