One thing we can say about the poli- ticians, they have more sense than the peo- ple they fool. People are always glad to see doctors and firemen loafing; it is not a pleasure to see either at work. The child of uneducated parents has it over the other children—it will have to get its own home work. When a lady declared she had been dutspoken at a woman’s club meeting, her husband meekly inquired: “Who outspoke you?” Cee The Arabians and the Jews are the two surviving representatives of the Semitic race, and they are warring against each other in Palestine. The trouble with the average tax- Payer is that the only time he thinks about economy in government is when he goes to pay his taxes—and then he doesn’t pay ’em. This month Galento, one of the best Yiartenders. in New Jersey, will fight Joe Louis, world’s greatest prize fighter. The advice that is appropriate in this case is, “Everyone to his trade.” There is no use trying to give the country back to the Indians; with a $40,- 0D0,000,000 debt they would deeline with | thanks. And why the Republicans want tq take it over is a puzzle. Retrenchment is the order of the day | im business circles, and particularly among newspapers; many are merging, others publish from one plant. Among the smaller daily papers the trend is to reduce the | format or demote themselves into weeklies. The Memorial Day address at Gettys- burg was delivered by Senator Byrd of Virginia. It is the first time since Lincoln that a Scutherner has been given this honor. The North and South observed | their friendship at Gettysburg last Me- morial Day. The Citizen favors the new charter beeause it believes it is for the best in- terests of this community. Its adoption wil] cause a considerable loss to the paper here will be no more publication of the delinquent tax list; ordinances will be pub- lished by title only; the qualified: list list has also been abolished and there are other restrictions. This is contrary to what liars are going around town telling; people; that because of pecuniary gain, The Citizen is advocating the adoption of | the charter. It seems that nothing decent | can be done without irresponsible people j _well méaning folks, | ped out of the economic bucket. Business is stagnant. There are no buyers for the bargain property offerings here. A num- | ber of our people have been thrown out of | work. The charter boatmen ‘report the | poorest business in years. Everyone believes the two world fairs responsible for the sudden slump in tourist travel and trade. There is no denying they are powerful factors, but other cities depending on such trade appear to be pros- | It is natural to ask | pering to some extent. why this should be so. The answer, The Citizen feels, is to be found in the attitude toward proper and continuing publicity here and elsewhere. | Smart tourist centers step up their pub- ligity budgets when the economic / going gets rough. They try to attract people to_ their cities by constant appeal to ° those ; who don’t want to spend their vacations at |, yailable for agsignment at Key the sweltering New York world’s fair, or do not care to travel to the Pacifie coast to see San Francisco’s spectacle. In short, other tourist centers realize the value of tourist trade and go after it. They do not fold their hands and wait for the business to come to theni, It is time Monroe county came to the realization of the importance of publicity. It is time to consider a plan whereby the city, the county, the Overseas. Road and Toll Bridge District and our civic organ- | izations ‘combined their resources, combed the area for publicity brains and co-op- erated in a well thought out, well ex- ecuted program advertising our . highway approach from the mainland, our fishing grounds, otir climate, sunshine and the kindly trade winds, our atmosphere and our other natural and civic assets. Tourist trade is.fickle. It usually fol- lows the crowd. Our job is to make them Key West conscious, thus adding to the toll district revenues, the prosperity: of our businessmen and: the happinéss of our un- employed. Scores of tourist centers have proved that sound publicity pays. How much longer are our public and civic of- ficials going to watch idly on the sidelines while the tourist trade goes elsewhere? RESEARCH PAVES WAY OF PROGRESS A yarn that looks like wool, feels like wool and wears like wool. It even smells like wool when it burns. But it’s made from mik. Wooden spectacles? Yes, wooden spectacles. The lenses are made of plastic “glass,” a new non-breakable product that is clearer than glass and can be ground, 7 cut or molded. And it is made of coal, air and wood. o “Another synthetic glass is; the cold- light tube that can pick up light at one end and carry it through to the other while the tube remains cold. All the above things just dreams? No. All of them are‘ being exhibited in the Previews of Progress Auditorium of the General Motors exhibit at the New York World’s Fair, There, on an ingenious revolving stage, are presented the won- ders of today that are likely to become a vital part of our daily lives in the World of Tomorrow. Yarn from milk can be ex- | plastic -are | pected on the market soon; just now being introduced to the public, and cold-light tubing may brighten _the homes of tomorrow with decorative ef- fects. There is never a dull moment to this dramatic stage presentation, andit is as colorful as anything to be found on the carnival midway. It is a visual demon- stration of what science has done, is doing and more important, must yet do in the days to come, The rainbow in the sk | deluges Constitutional amendments ts @ promise that there wi | Be dedicates exclusively to highway financing have been aifopted by seven states.
