It is hard to decide which is worse, |’ i radio entertainment or radio advertising. | Trevention is better than cure but it | doesn’t get its name in the papers go | often. Intuition doesn’t keep a woman from asking a lot of questions in an effort to con- firm it. One of the worse things to do is al- ways to be on the lookout for worse things to happen. An organization of professional Santa Clauses is now demanding a 52-week year. | They should see Harry Hopkins. | Democracy will succeed when voters | understand and support national interests | as contrasted with sectional and_ selfish | interests, Ellis Hollums, executive editor of the | Miami Herald, complains that “all the |} boys gave me socks”, but fails to add to the | interesting revelation whether they gave | him the socks on the chin or other parts of | his corporeal substance. | Editor Girton of Miami Friday Night has a story about a 1,800-pound Jewfish | that, partially revealed, looked like an is- land in the sea. Only because he says the monster was seen about 19 miles from Key | West could we lend a believing ear to what is apparently a tall story—and a very | tall one, at that. Maybe it was a Rhyno- don or the brand imbibed by the fisherman had unusual magnifying potency. The government’s fiscal insanity con: tinues unabated, in fact it is being ac- celerated, and the enormous expenditures | are almost beyond imagination. It took the writer about an hour to. write _ this | column. In that time the government spent $1,380,000, or $23,000 a minute and continues this every day and night includ- ing Sunday. Of this $11,500 is being add- ed each minute to the publie debt, which will soon reach the staggering sum of $50,- | 000,000,000,000, or more than a_ billion dollars for each state in the Union. | should be accepted. | quickly as possible. ‘to be any controversy between the county HIGHWAY OUTLOOK HOPEFUL Despite some discouraging develop- | | ments the last few days, The Citizen be- 1 lieves the effort to obtain right of way for completion of the Overseas Highway on | the old roadbed and viaducts of the Flor- | ida East Coast Railroad soon may result in | an amicable settlement between the county | and R. C. Perky, owner of many thousands of feet of the right of way needed for this | important work. H It is understood that Perky is prepared, | to give the county a deed to a right of way for the highway and the proposed water | | system and 50 feet of all property he con- In| their negotiations with Perky the members | | of the county commission had been seeking | | to obtain 100 feet of land on each side of | the right of way. Believing that 50 feet of land on each side of the right of way for highway and | water line is sufficient to provide ample parking space and plenty of room for | works, The Citizen feels that Perky’s offer settlement of a vexing problem and would speed plans for extension of the improved highway from Big Pine Key to Key West | Florida i and from Lower Matecumbe to City. It is reported that Perky fears that if | more land were controlled by the county | and state highway department on each | side of the right of way through his hold- | ings a large number of hot dog stands and other objectionable structures would be | erected. The Citizen believes Perky is un- | duly alarmed in this regard. It is not felt | that either county or state highway offi- cials would permit such objectionable structures. The whole matter of preserving and enhancing the beauty of the highway can be settled by the adoption of a, county zoning law. This can prahibitmcerbain kinds of structures adjacent to the high- | way and provide for an adequate number of filling stations and restaurants of such construction they would not detract from the beauties. highway beautified along the lines being followed by the Overseas Road and Toll 3ridge district with the co-operation of | the National Park Service. it Perky, as reported, is willing to deed a right of way and other lands he controls all the way from Key West to the mainland, and is willing to make other reasonable concessions demanded by the | county commission, The Citizen believes that the whole matter should be settled as There does not seem and Perky that cannot be settled agree- ably. A BOOST FOR ADVERTISING When a newspaper editor writes about advertising, the reader is apt to think his remarks are colored by self-in- terest. The other day, the Federal Home Loan and Bank Review declared that “the newspaper is the most’ effective and fa- vorite advertising medium of progressive savings and loan associations throughout the country.” A poll of nearly three hundred se- lected associations showed that fifty-five | per cent of their advertising dollars went for newspaper space and that seventy-two per cent of the associations rated news- papers as the most effective advertising ‘mediums. Urging all associations to give more attention to advertising, the Review said it should have a definite place in the yearly budget and the money available should be divided among the different media upon the basis of known results, This, we presume, is what might be called impartial observation. Advertising, | very effective when intelligently used, is | often injured by the disappointment of Among some of the stragetic prob- | lems of which the Navy expects to take | cognizance is the further fortification and upbuilding of the local Navy base, since | this is the peninsular point which controls ; the Yucatan passage into the Gulf of Mexico and therefore holds the key to de- fense of the gulf ports of New Orleans, | Mobile and Galveston. Key West topped | the Hepburn Commission list until it eame | to Jacksonville when it switched to the | Florida metropolis, but the stragetical ad- vantages nevertheless remain that of the Gibraltar of America. | those who do not give sufficient attention | to their advertising. As Secretary of Commerce, Hoover scaled the heights to the presi- dency; and if there are those who think Harry Hopkins, just named secretary of ' commerce, will also travel the same route, they should remember that lightning does not strike twice in the same place.

President H. E. Day was in the chair. The Sea Scout Ship which the \club is sponsoring came under full scrutiny of the members and lactive plans were set in motion jto bolster the activities and porale of this organization. Skip- |per, Lion Albert Hinson, and committee chairman, Lion Aug- ust Bradley, gave reports con- | cerning activities of the ship and called for support of the mem- |bership in future plans to bring |the outfit to statewide promi- | ence. |_ Better rest room facilities for {Bayview Park are going to be | looked into according to resolu- tion presented the club by the Health and Welfare committee |chairman, Lion Edwin Trevor.

The Community Christmas Tree committee under direction jof Lions Victor Larson and Al- |bert Hinson were extended thanks of the club for their per- |formance and a letter of thanks was ordered for Miss Vanessa Collins for her help in portraying | Santa Claus at the event. Guest speaker was J. A. Greene |of Lynbrook, Long Island, who| gave a stirring account of experi- | jences encountered during the |New Engiand hurricane last fall. | Mr. Greene is employed by the New York Bell Telephone ee tem and was on 24-hour duty for days following the catastrophe. } The Community Center and Clubhouse committee, Lion Joe} Allen, chairman, reported on! plans for incorporation of the| | BEMOAN SANITARY, BEAUTIFICATION, CIVIC PROBLEM ‘ROTARY MEMBERS ASK CITY COOPERATION IN CLEAN- ING UP UNTIDINESS OF CERTAIN SECTIONS At the recent meeting of the Rotary Club heated discussion on civic problems was heard at St. Paul’s Parish Hall on sanitary ‘conditions and unsightliness. E. Fleck in an emphatic talk declared that he would like to see remedied (1) the coconut frond city, (2) the Duval street side- walks untidiness and (3) the pic- turesque south end of White street, which has been used as a trash pile. Bill Bates said that the city should clear up’ these matters and take up other sanitary ques- tions in the city. He called on Mayor Albury as the law en- forcement officer to give the or- ders and to Police Judge T. S. Caro to make the necessary fines when those violating the ordin- ances in question are hailed be- fore him. Cooperation of business men, with the Chambér of Commerce was urged by Charles Taylor who asked that every Rotarian; ask each merchant he contacts in the course of the day if he is a member of the Chamber of Commerce. 5 Visiting Rotarians: William C.

Stacks of letters are being re- at the postoffice and! Chambr of Commerce from per- sons in all parts of the country, sent to be transported on an air- plane schedule, announced in As- sociated Press dispatches to be inaugurated in Key West about January 15. The press report of | December 19, under a Washing- | ton dateline, stated that two air- | mail routes designed to connect; , Key West with Latin-Amercian ; countries, would be established {and the first would begin serv-! ‘ice about January 15. The con- | tract for this service, it was stat- ed, would be owned by the Pan- ‘American lines. This news re- port was published recently and it is believed that it is the cause lot the many letters which have ' been received at Key West to be! ‘among the first to be sent by the ‘airmail route. The Pan-Ameri- ! can offices in this city have been closed for some time and there ceived {is no representative of the com-! ;Pany in’ this city. Postmaster ; Williams is of the opinion that if ‘the schedule was intended to ‘start from this port he would have been notified and necessary preparations ordered to be gotten in readiness. On the other hand, there are fairly well authenticat- ed reports that the Pan-American offices in this city will be opened about January 13 but for what purpose no one knows. About 3 o’clock this morning, Police Officer Harold Key dis- covered three negroes trying to gain entrance to the grocery at the corner of Simonton nad Oli- via streets. Officer Key succeed- ‘ed in capturing one of the neg- ‘roes at the time and while hold- ing his man he shot at another of the robbers, who was struck in the head with a bullet from a -38 calibered revolver, but the projectile glanced off leaving only a flesh wound. The man , Struck in the head was named Henry Johnson, who was later found bleeding from the wound at his home where he was placed under arrest. The other two men who were implicated in the at-' tempt are Enrique Leo Artez and Eugene Thomas. The three neg- roes were placed in the county jail. Officer Key was assisted in making the arrest by Frank Go- mez, who came to his assistance armed with a shotgun. | Editorial comment: The prize | |dumb-bell of the season hails | from Pittsburgh.
