The deadline for filing, bonus applications expires next January: I, though a bill is being pushed to extend the filing date to.1945. There are-undoubted- ly many. reasons why. these “unknown ‘sok diers” denot apply fer their bonus money, ‘but unquestionably the chief reason is that they have gone to join their buddies: “over there,” and are no further interestd: in rorenehesie coeieeem BON VOYAGE! Community life-in: Key: West’ the last ten days: has: been,enlivened by the: pres- ence of 400° officers: and: mem of the: 265th Regiment, Coast Artillery, Floritia, -Nb-| tional Guard. In their-little spare tinie the | men of the regiment appeared to enjoy the | city and the people and our citizens have *| only commendation for the young: civilian- soldiers. It was a pleasant —- with, no regrets on-either hand. The rattle and rumble of the- guns at | | Fort Taylor are familiar sounds: to native- Key Westers. They know what to expect from thesartilery pieces when the; National | Guard comes here arnually ‘for their tour | of service duty or when. the regulat army many. cases were something . they had never seen in action. The ocean _ water- ’| front during target practice this: week ‘and last week was. lined. with spectators: Probably:the most interestiig phase of the annual appearance of the guards- ‘| menis the band concerts. The 265th Regi- -ment has a fine musical organization:: The music they rendered’ under the baton of Warrant Officer Caesar LaMonaca of Mi- ami was of high order. It combined ‘classi- cal and; popular numbers to meet_a cross- section of‘musical tastes. The concerts were a. treat. to. all classes of people “in this: community, Given at the ‘miflitury '} reservation. adjaeent to Fort’ Taylor,: the .| concerts were easily accessible to: every- |one: Too: often military bands perform only on military. reservations’ which’ can- not be reached: by the general public. The 265th Regiment wisely avoided: that mis- '} take here, with the result that Key. West- | ers, thoroughly enjoyed-the music: Majority .of the guardsmen: hail from the upper end of the state. They are leav- ing late today via: steamship, for Tampa, where they: will entrain’ for their homes in ‘| Jacksonville, Pensacola, and other points. The citizens, of Key West. hope they have a pleasarit trip. Our people are thankful no serious accident marred the arduous train- ing schedule of the 265th. Bon voyage, National Guardsmen— Come again! PEDESTRIANS DESERVE PROTECTION Statistics show that forty percent of all traffic accidents are suffered by: pedestrians. This is not hard to, understand when one considers that most. highways have been constructed without regard to the rights. of pedestrian travel. The roads were built; for automobile and: truck. use and the average pedestrian has to use the highways at great. peril. It is about time for highway officials te give consideration to pedestrians and provide safe. avenues of travel’ for those who must go on foot. The fact that auto- mobile owners pay’ for highways dees: not alter the dangers that heavy traffic creates for those who happen not to be Tidieg at fast speeds. When the railroads: began “ operate through: the land they ;were: | required.’ to adept and: install safety devices to! protect the public. The same obligation rests up- en automobile traffic and inasmuch as the government is in control of highway. con- _struction there ought to be adequate ‘pro- visions for the safety of foot-travellers. THRIFT ADVERTISING In a report just made public by aFed- eral financial agency it-was shown that the newspaper was the favorite advertising medium of American building and loan, savirigs and other thrift institutions throughout the country during 1938. More than five times as much adver- tising of this character was carried in newspapers as in any other medium, and it approximately equalled the amount spent in all other forms of besmisinne com- bined. This is the second ace of its: kind, and confirms the findings for the previous year. The 1938 study was made with the cooperation of 885 representative institu- tions in-all parts of the. United States. The report included the following para- graph: “The favorite.medium of nearly all business concerns is the newspaper.’ Sav- ings and lean associations are no: exeep- astjllerymen perform) target’ practice.
