It is no disgrace even yet to be sen- sibe. But it is getting to be mighty lone- | some. A new patch of green is said to have appeared on Mars. Surely it isn’t because of envy. When you show determination it is the assertion of will-power, but detestable oStinacy in the other fellow. Pedal extremities or just plain legs have brought fame and fortune to many— some through shape, others’ through spéed. ~-What scme people consider art other people dislike ; the world is not peopled by automatons and disagreements are to be “In vino veritas” (in wine is truth) but we wouldn’t suggest you seek it there. ‘The most reliable place to find truth is in the dictionary. Every community can do something to improve the standard of living of the peo- | ple that live in it, and everybody should be a unit in the improvement, The leopard doesn’t change his spots. Stalin was once a common bank and train robber, so his betrayal of Poland is to the manner born, and hope persists that the traditional enmity of Muscovite and Teu- tor -will reassert itself and to the disad-| vantage of Germany. ~ France and England have assets in the United States totaling some $7,000,- 000,000, which can be, fairly easily, turn- ed into dollar balances for the purchase of American goods. That’s a bait suffi- ciently large to give the American stock market'the jumping jitters. Hitler gave solemn assurance to Ghambérlain that with the accession of the Sudetenland he will have no thought of farther aggression but he lied and knew at the time that he was lying. So. the Allies will not trust him again. Hitler should recall the German saying: “Wer einmal luegt Den glaubt man nicht und wen er auch the Wahrheit spricht.” | phibian city, an island in the sea; “less the Siegfried line “‘is the ‘the age” he is confident it ‘will crack be- THE RISING TIDE To all the creatures of the sea, the | i rising tide is'a harbinger of better times, ' improving conditions. And, Key West is surely an am- sub- jected as we know all too well to the ebb ‘and flow of fortune. There are signs on every hand that a flood tide of better times is beginning that may reasonably be expected to sur- pass in lasting degree, anything that we have known in the past. One of the greatest potential ‘attrac- | tions that we have for the tcurist is that storied ruin Fort Jefferson, now being re- | stored as a National Morument with all of the tremendous power of publicity in- herent in the National Park Service to bring it to public attention. We are as- sured that the inducements offered to the winter visitor to visit that famous place | will far surpass, this coming season, the tentative efforts put forth last year. It is | the only place in the United States that lies beyond Key West; and to Key West will come all the visitors to Fort Jeffer- son. We have had a bitter taste this sum- | mer of what it means for Key West to be cut off from Havana and all the lovely is- land to which it is the gateway. A flow of travel, once checked, is slow to, resume its | | former volume, but we have thé’ “Cuba” in service again at last, reconditioned and no | longer will it be necessary for the secre- | tary of thé Chamber of Commerce to write to hundreds of inquirers the dis- couraging message that “Service has been temporarily discontinued on account of labor trouble but will be resumed at an ! early date.” Since the latter part of July, we have had this handicap to contend with. That is over. Once more we can invite travel- ers to Cuba to travel over the marvelous | Overseas Highway and reach Havana by the shortest possible voyage from the United States, and coastwise journeys to Tampa will be resumed. Readers of The Citizen will country’s great tour agencies, that 93 per cent of the inquiries coming to them were ‘from people interested in Florida. Miami is preparing for many thou- | sands more of visitors than it entertained last year, and a goodly number of those visitors will be very glad to come to quiet ‘old Key West, after dodging the swirling torrents of “entertainment” in our metro- H politan sister city. If we are wise, we will build up our reputation as a retreat and not enter into futile emulation of the night life and “hot | “spots” of any other city. We can be pre- | | eminent and hold a commanding position along our own lines. That is better than being a Tent. We have not here recounted the great, material things that the rising tide is bringing to us. The housing project, which we owe to the untiring persistence ‘of a few of our solid citizens, the assur- ance of a water main which will logically follow ‘this great improvement, the very probable early beginning of work on the road from Big Pine to Key West. The tide is risihg: Make ready. “SECRETS” Hitler’s reference in Danzig to a “secret weapon” revives the circulation of | rumors similar to those that went the rounds in the World War. These imaginative creations, to end the war, ranged all the way from | mysterious rays of death-dealing power to unknown secrets too horrible for states- men to contemplate. From Great Britain comes swer to Hitler’s vague threat. Low, famous scientist, doubts that the German leader has any horror to produce but he asserts, quite. positively,... gabe can | truthfully say that if Great Britain so de- sired she could at, this moment out-horror Hitler.”” Recounting: that he had been’ blown up. twice recently in making certain ex- periments the scientist declared that un- wonder of the an-/| fore the onslaught of British artillery.” Play is an important factor in long life but it is vital in the development of |: proper child life.
