ARTMAN, President and Poblisher JOE ALLEN, Assistant Business Manager From The Citizen Building Corner Greene and Ann Streets Only Daily Newspaper in Key West and Monros County KEY WEST BOOKLETS NEEDED | The United States has approximately | | three-quarters of all the automobiles of the’ world. Motorists of this country like | to go places in their cars. They are travel- | if tonscious, the most traveled race of peo- |.ple in the world. Every year they take to | the road, and ordinarily they like to go to | the end of the road they travel. Key West | Entered at Key West, Florida, as second class matter the local news published here. SUBSCRIPTION RATES No. 1; so this eity is a magnet for myriads | | of motorists. | When a motorist gets ready to go’ | places he begins studyirig road maps and | other literature outlining the highlights of | the points he wants to visit. The Key West Chamber of Commerce has_ been | printing and shipping thousands of book- lets to all parts of the world in response to actual requests for such informative mat- ter. The Chamber, unfortunately, has been limited in this activity, an activity that reacts to the genera] good of the en- tire community, through a shortage of funds. Within the last week two requests for tens of thousands of copies have been | received by the Chamber. | Unable to meet this demand, the Chamber appealed to the Monroe County Commission and Wednesday night that body appropriated $150 for booklets. The Chamber thus is able to order another sup- ply of 20,000 copies of the Key West book- lets. While this is a substantial number, the | supply will soon be gone, for the demand | for such literature is growing every month.

Here, it seems, we have an amazing | manifestation of human callousness in re- gards to human life.
