Mrs. Edna Lupo, of Tampa, who had been visiting with rel-| atives in Key West and her many friends, left this morning on the early bus for Tampa. Mrs. Lupo| before marriage was Miss Edna Freeman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Freeman, of this city. Miss Marjory Counsil, of Wash- ington, D.,C., is a visitor in Key West today coming in a | sight- seeing tour, and said to The Citi- zen that she was having a very interesting visit, and on her re- turn would tell her friends what @ grand visit they had missed by not coming to Key West. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Carter and daughter Jean and Nancy, were visitors yesterday and had a very delightful time visiting the many interesting scenes throughout the city. THE LOWDOWN FROM HICKORY GROVE You might think that things | would maybe be a little dull now with Congress not in session and you would not have much ‘to talk about. Especially: if “you was not an extra serious duck, and leaned a little toward liking | a joke or a touch of comedy. But right off the bat, you can| get your mind off Congress and it’s didos. And this time, it is) the ladies turn. Bustles are com- ing in—or maybe it is better to say, back. But bustles have been in be- fore, and if you will dig up his- tory you will read about how in| the Old Days there was plenty of | commotion therefrom—like run- aways, etc., when a hoop-skirt or | something would get caught in a} zephyr. But today with the auto-/ mobile versus the horse, we will not have that hazard—you can- not scare an automobile. But I am for the latest style 100 per cent. Grandma will hardly be able to wear a bustle and sailor's pants at the same time. } Yours, with the olw down, ; JO SERRA.

With the Everglades National Park established, it is conserva- tively estimated that it will at- tract to South Florida more than half a million tourists annually. Had this National Park been a} going concern during the period the Overseas Highway has been open to traffic, the present toll! shortage predicament which the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District is now facing would quite obviously not have arisen, and this applies equally to many of the economic problems Key West herself is facing today. Half a million national park tourists. in South Florida annual- ly, all gravitating toward Monroe county, presents a no mean po- tential factor in solving many of the problems confronting the county today.

While it is generally admitted that the exhibit itsélf is far superior to that of any other |state and one of the outstanding jfeatures of the entire exposition, they tell you that it is in a pocket and doesn’t draw the attendance it should. Fair visitors touring’ the |grounds in the afternoon or ‘eve- /ning see long lines of people who | stand for an hour or more to gain jadmission to the General Motors, Ford, General Electric or other |commercial displays and are dis- |appointed not to find similar jlines waiting for admission to the |Florida Pavilion. But the truth of the matter is, Florida is actually showing to more people each day than the exhibits that keep - thousands waiting for admittance. This is due to the fact that — the | other exhibits present Shows at regu- lar intervals and only from 1,000 ;to 1,200 people can be accommo- jdated at a time. Consequently, an exhibitor that is featuring 10 shows a day as most of them do and run capacity for each show, at. best are only showing to from 10,000 to 12,000 a day. Large Area: Open 13 Hours Florida,-on the other hand, with its extensive area, ‘moves a con- stant stream of visitors from 10 o’clock at night and shows to from 20,000 to 50,000, depending on weather conditions and the general attendance at the Expo- sition. Florida’s exhibit at New York is several times larger than at ei- ther Chicago or Cleveland, con- sequently it takes a much larger crowd to make’a showing than it did at these other exhibits. But the very fact that the | building is not jammed with peo- ple is a distinct advantage, since jit permits the visitor to view the \exhibits.in comfort and take suf- |ficient time to really appreciate , the show. To date the total number of visitors to the Florida Exhibit in New York far exceeds the num- | ber for the same period at either terest they evidenced. Those in |charge of the information desks report greater interest than at |Previous fairs, with visitors eager for detailed information concern- jing the state, its conditions and opportunities, tourist attractions, indusries, agricultural develop- o'clock in’ the morning until” 11/ TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY By RUSSELL KAY ment, and eagerly took the book- jlets and literature offered. | Many Planning Trips Here No one can make a complete tour of the Florida Exhibit with- out becoming keenly interested lin the state and filled: with a de- sire to visit or locate here. The only thing that prevents thou- sands from pulling up stakes and moving down today is ‘that they haven't sufficient finances to do so unless they can secure a job or establish some kind of a busi- ness, and over and over again they ask about the chance for jemployment or business oppor- tunities. Dozens that I talked to during my brief time at the exhibit in- formed me that they were plan- |ning a trip to Florida this winter and I am confident that the com- ing winter will find us entertain- ing the greatest influx of tourists jand winter visitors in our his- tory, brought about largely through our magnificent exhibit at the New York World’s Fair. Florida Outshines Other States Earl Brown, and his co-workers have given Florida the finest and most impressive state exhibit ever assembled by any state any- | where. One has only to visit the {exhibits of other states at the New York Fair aid compare them with ours to realize this. In spite of the tremendous com- petition, Florida has gained more nation-wide publicity, received more columns of newspaper space, been featured on more-radio pro- more attention than all other state exhibits combined and evi- dence of this awaits anyone who cares to check the record in the form of actual press clippings and radio schedules. But don’t take my word for it, come up and see yourself. HONORS FOR MRS.
