They | struggle to grow wherever they may find | root. In growing, they add to the beauty of their surroundings no matter where | they may be. When grown, they glorify | everything around them and, while beauti- | fying, they offer shade, flowers, nuts, | fruits and music as the winds drift through | their fronds and branches. They ask so | little and give so much. Key West has been noted for her trees and tropical flora. Trees have been the city’s glory and joy. The march of prog- ress and the dearth of human understand- ing have caused a steady decline in the tree pepulation of Key West. In attempt- ing to remedy this condition, the Key West Garden Club some time ago sponsored a tree planting project. Thousands of trees were planted along our streets. Already, as small as they are, these trees are pro- | ducing dividends of beauty. That is, wherever the trees have been tended and protected. Some of the trees are barely taken root when they were up- rooted. A part of the destruction was | caused by careening cars, thoughtless bicyclists and brainless animals. But ap- parently some of the damage was caused | by misguided individuals who take a | sadistic delight in destroying anything that grows. Beauty to them is a senseless and worthless thing—they can’t eat it or put it on their backs or exchange it for a | new red bicycle. But there are thousands of more evenly balanced people here who do ap- preciate the beauty of trees. They like them and want them, but, in general, do nothing to help keep them. The new trees need watering and protection against damage and destruction. The best way to provide these is for each individual prop- erty owner to appoint himself a provider and protector of the trees in front of his property. Members of Key West Garden Club who sponsored and financed the tree planting project so well carried out by the WPA, are now interesting themselves in the care and protection of the new trees. They plan an educational program to make this effective. They will seek the help of property owners. If we expect our city to grow and prosper,,if we hope to see the value of our land holdings increase, if we want to live amid a setting of bright flowers and weav- ing limbs, it is up to all our people to join in this effort. The Garden Club has done a good job and deserves this much from those directly benefitted, SUPPORTING THE CHURCHES The churches of the world are institu- tions of man, designed to help human be- ings towards perfection, the goal of most which is a national legal holiday, appears { religions. about as untimely and inappropriate a thing to celebrate as well could be imagin- ed. On the contrary this writer thinks that Armistice Day this November 11 has deep. significance and should be a day of meditation and rejoicing—rejoicing that we have escaped the horrors of war for n@arly a quarter of a century, and that we ate not again embroiled in the maelstrom ravaging Europe at the present time. | In his book “After Seven Years”, Raymond T. Moley, once President Roose- velt’s chief adviser, says that Mr. Tommy Corcoran made this cynical re- | mark concerning the President's speeches | to him: “You write the music; all he does | is sing it.” There has never been a‘ denial | from Mr. Corcoran concerning the state- | ment attributed to him by Mr. Moley, al- | though New Deal journalists characterized it as a figment of the imagination, of which they say the former presidential ad- viser has plenty. It is said that all things come to him who waits. Life is tested by man’s} capacity to wait, for nothing so tests | human worth as patience, which is all that waiting is. The shallow are always in a hurry; they want to get things over quick- ly and that is the way of superficiality. Taking time does not mean _procrastina- | tion, but thoroughness in whatever job | téts is to be done. In this connection it | Tiéy-be noted that the Allies by their de- | liBerate methods stand a better chance | eventually to win the war than is Hitler | with his “Blitzkrieg.” Intelligent men and women, for hun- dreds of years, have supported the church of their choice. Sometimes, superstitution and ignorance have egged individuals to do great things in the name of religion but ‘more and more, people support churches from intelligent appreciation of the func- tions of churches. We are not particularly interested in the church to which any individual be- longs. That is a matter for every person to decide. Some human beings like reli- gion served in one way and some like it otherwise. The variety of style, treat- ment and types can only be explained by the varied nature of men and women who must be served. Just as adults give their time and money to support other worthwhile un- dertakings they should deliberately plan to give of their time and money to the church to which they belong. It takes money to run any organization and while the church has a Divine cause it has cer- tain very definite human needs, which must be met by those who belong to it. Although some newspapers and maga- zines persist in calling the present Euro- pean imbroglio World War II, there is no reason to call it such. It doesn’t take in enough territory to be so called. How- ever, it must have a name, and if it termi+ nates shortly, “Blitzkrieg” would be an appropriate terminology, but neither Eng- land nor France would be satisfied with that appellation. Eventually, it will have a tag, but not the “tag” the Germans hope | to realize, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN - @¢ | rwreor~ + 6 TUT | FiRST CONGREGATIONAL > | CHURCH ‘ | William L.
