No minority has the right to boss a majority, but this does not mean that a majority should give all the orders. In our anxiety to award rights to minorities let us be sure that we do not “tnfringe upon the rights of the majorities. Disasters seem to come in threes, it is -Superstitiously asserted. Of that the base- hall player is painfully aware after the strikes out. Did you ever hear about the man who Jnows that advertising does not pay be- cause he spent a few dollars, a decade ago, without getting a ten to one return? - Fred Snite, who visited the shrine of “Lourdes in an “iron lung” said he ex- pected no miracle as the result of his pilgrimage. It appears he is not going to be disappointed. Governor Saltonstall of Massachusetts inay not believe that life begins at 40, but tie does believe that “real education should shegin at 4 and from then on keep at it un- fil the last breath we draw”. It is good psychology, undoubtedly, that the goodwill of the taxpayers should be stressed as necessary to obtain the best results in the collection of taxes, but never to the point of pampering them. * hose who are interested in the ‘growth of Key West need not expect mag- teal results to follow their wishes; it takes tiard work and years to make a town de- yelop, especially after it has once re- “. The Constitution says nothing about freedom of the radio and that is the one rea- son why itis gagged. Anyway, there is.no freedom of speech on the radio, though ‘there is still some semblance of it in the press. } i IMPORTANT KEY DEVELOPMENTS Within the last few days the news columns of The Citizen have carried ac- counts of two important developments on Florida keys that will benefit the eco- nomic reconstruction of Key West. It is reported the ‘Overseas Road and. Toll Bridge District commission has adopted a resolution providing for classification of all lands by zones to restrict the use of them for public enjoyment and recreation, and that the State Road Department in co- operation with the U. S. Bureau of Roads is soon to begin ste of Overseas highway via the old railroad from Big Pine Key to Ramrod Key. The zoning resolution by the bridge authority means the creation and improve- ment of recreational facilities in a 40-mile stretch along Overseas highway from Lower Matecumbe to Big Pine Key. Plans | have been prepared by the National Park Service for a comprehensive development of the area controlled by the bridge authority. The work willbe done by the Civilian Conservation Corps which is now completing removal of the debris left by the 1935 hurricane and the contractors -| who built the new highway. Funds that will be available after July 1 will enable the State Road Depart- ‘ment this year to extend the highway probably no further. than Ramrod Key, al- though it is hoped to push the work to Summerland Key or Pirates Cove before the end of 1939, From Big Pine Key to Pirates Cove the old county roadway con- tains two miles of wooden bridges and eight miles of curving, bumpy pavement. Elimination of the dangerous wooden bridges and construction of a new highway will shorten the distance from Big Pine to Pirate’s Cove from ten to approximately six miles. These developments are both im- portant to Key West. Construction of recreational facilities: will serve to bring many thousands of persons to Florida keys for various sports that will become avail- able. Extension of the highway will in- duce many’ of those vacationists and tourists to continue on toward Key West. Of course, the eventual completion of the improved roadway to this island will in- crease the number that would’ come here for a visit. That day does not seem so far distant now. With these improvements assured, Key West is now anxiously awaiting ac- tion on the application for federal aid in construction of an unlimited fresh water | supply system, Until that step is accom- plished the city may expect no large-scale construction activity. THE U. S.-CANADA LINE After his triumphal tour of Canada, just ended, King George VI doubtless has a more vivid realization of the vast extent of the unguarded boundary line between his North American dominion and the United States. Including the boundary between Canada and Alaska, this line ex- “tends more than 5,000 miles. Though no actual hostilities accom- panied the establishment of this panne | asa line, it-was the subject of negotia' for more than 100 years. The last boundary dispute, a minor one, was settled in 1871, with the German emperor as arbiter. ‘More than 8,000 markers, mostly of con- crete and metal, trace this remarkable border, and are inspected from time to : time by United States and Canadian boun- dary commissioners traveling together. Dreams of Canada’s annexation to the United Stgtes have Been indulged in by a few citizens of both countries at va- rious times, but it seems unlikely that such a thing will ever come to pass, unless the British Empire should be dismembered as a result of an unsuccessful war, As mat- ters now stand there is no good reason-for any change in Canada’s status, from the standpoint of either country. With a population more than 10 times as great as that of Canada, the United States has been and will continue to be a ‘friendly neighbor. The two countries hold each other in mutual admiration and re- spect, thereby setting a fine example in a troubled world, Another dictatorship has sprung into being—Spain. Now we have Franco as Caudillo; Mussolini as Il Duce and Hitler as Der Fuehrer. “Blind obedience” is de- manded to General Franco, and the .pro- posed oath is: “We proclaim our in- flexible. will to obey acess cant or- ders of Ser Caudillo.” |larger than was anticipated.

She comes as an ad- vanced guard and most valued and important visitor in connec- tion with the convention of the} Atlantic Coastal Highway Asso- ciation. Tonight at 8 o’clock in Bayview Park she will address | the people of Key West and in accord with her promise to ap- pear before the people of each | county the district and make a personal report on the work she has accomplished dur- | ing her term of office at Wash- ington. Key West is the first point at which she will make her! report as she came driect to this city from Washington. So it goes} without saying that Bayvi Park will be taxed to capacity to- night. Mrs. Owen says that all ‘that Florida has asked for has been incorporated in the bill for Florida and she has been assured of hearty coopération in her work | for the state. i | There was every indication at! 2 o'clock this afternoon that the attendance at the annual conven- | tion, which opens in Key West to- | morrow morning will be much} first contingent left the Mate- cumbe slip at 1 o’clock today and | the boat sailed with 25 cars and} e 50 convention visitors.
