Airports—Land and Sea. es Consolidation of County and City Governments. Ickes says he wants Roosevelt. Well, he can have him. Evidently the secretary of the interior wants to keep his job, too. If the residenis of Key West don’t care enough about Key West to trade at home, nobody else will keep business go- ing here. The color motif of the United States is Red. First we had the Redskins, then the Redcoats, now the Reds. On top of all that we're in the “Red.” The present Administration knocked prohibition off its pedestal and brought back liquor, say an exchange. So that is what produces those staggering figures! Key Westers needn’t look so glum anymore for they’now have something at which to-langh—the dog. house on Duval street. And; believe it or not, it is a langh, Tony Galento who is scheduled to fight Joe Louis says he is going to give up drinking beer for his health’s sake, For his health’s sake he should consider giving up the fight, too. Among the state’s congressional dele- gation, only Senator and Mrs. Pepper and Congressman and Mrs, Green of Starke will rate an invitation to the British Em- bassy garden party in honor of the King and Queen of Great Britain. Senator Pep- per will be eligible as a member of the senate foreign relations committee; Con- gmspman Green as chairman of a- house committee, the territories group. =A theater fire in Mexico was fatal to 70-ersons, many of them women. and m, and scores were wounded in the porst holocaust of recent Mexican history. Now, presumably, preparations will be made to lessen or eliminate the chances of a repetition of the catastrophe when this should have been done before human lives are dost, The fire department of a city is responsible for the existence of firetraps whieh should be eliminated where such danger exists. This applies not only to theaters but to every place where people congregate in numbers, ‘The oldest Washingtonians will prob- ably agree that the most enthusiastic per- sonal welcome they ever. witnessed was ac- corded Charles Lindbergh upon his return from his famous “hop” to Europe. Now comes the King. and Queen of all the Britons and the good old: National: Capital tears down all the reserves to shout its biggest. welcome. . “They speak our lan- guage,” “they are a ‘lovely young couple,” and “they are our kind” are some of the alibis of our country, which- once hated Kingsand. Queens so intensively that it ~ up.a new, kind of “radical government.” Britain now claims to be a “democracy.” Se, there is wholesome sincerity in the g@feetings to the King and Queen—it will kelp.rub out the memories of 1776.

Let me urge you, means, to remain in this. community and take your part in leading our own Key West into that glorious future which is her rightful destiny.” Having made this appeal, Mr. Little | went on to state that the loss of so many native Key Westers in the past drained | the city of her potential leaders, with the } result that the community is now beset by many difficulties; that this condition must be changed and that “opportunities must be made which will provide suitable em- ployment for these young people.” Mr. Little believes the future here. of- | fers many opportunities for community | service, for inspired leadership and for. ac- | tion toward enabling the city to take care | by all; ‘yesterday afterndon.

The solution of her many problems demand strong community service on the part of our youth, our oldsters, our natives and the newcomers in our midst. We cannot depend forever upon the bounty of the federal government for the support of | We've got to do | so many of our citizens. something constructive for ourselves. One of our faults is that for many years we have been content with things as they.are. Many of our people, particularly those who profit. under the existing order, are opposed to change. Like sheep we have followed false leaders; for our public officials, with few exceptions, are mainly concerned with helping themselves, ‘in- stead of all of us. The old order under our. present offi- cials has lead ys against a wall of com- | munity inertia.’ A new order, a new set-of unselfish and broadminded leaders are clearly demanded to lead us back onto the path of sound thinking and sane and con- structive activity. The Citizen believes our present officials, or those opposed to | change, should step aside so that some | new ideas may be introduced here in an ef- | fort to restore life in the conduct of our municipal affairs. GREETING THE KING AND, QUEEN Some Americans are worried about | the “best way” to greet the King and. Queen of Great Britain. Others, in the national capital, are concerned because. they’ will not have an . opportunity to gaze into the royal eyes at the reception that will be tendered the visitors from the realm beyond the sea. ‘Well, if any reader of The~ Citizen gets a chance to appear before royalty we “advise them to treat the King and Queen just like they would treat the President of the United States, or his, wife, In this country. such a procedure would, seem, to exhibit the respect that comes from accept- ing the visitors as friends. Tf the appearance should happen, to be staged in Great Britain then democratic. Americans should not hesitate to conform to the customs that are followed by sen- sible British. citizens. ‘Having solved this great problem, satisfactory to our. own minds, we call at- | stressed the importance He “the American system. of | Tj tention to the fact that solutions to. per- plexing questions are but a part of the service. which this newspaper. rendets. to its readers.
