Perhaps if Austria had recalled the young Archduke Otto of Hapsburg to the Austrian throne, the collapse of that coun- try would have been avoided. He now wants the Allies to allow him to raise an, Austrian legion to fight Hitler but with . the stipulation that, in return for his serv- | ice, the French and British look with favor | ! off his restoration to the throne occupied his ancestors for centuries. An editorial in Air Marshal Balbo’s Corriere Padano of Ferrara criticized the Russians and called the Communists “liv- ing monsters” and “models of vulgar | : bestiality.’ There is truth in this state- | + m@bt since there are authentic proofs that | ‘ : set executions of numerous clergymen,’ busi- | , nessmen and landowners in Polish terri- | tory occupied by Russia have been- re- ‘ ceived by officials of neutral countries. According to the size -of the sun and the rate at which it is’ radiating heat, “seientists have computed that’ sunlight - cannot last forever, but we are assured that it will last yet another 12,000,000,000 ‘ years, so Key West can continue advertis- | ing with absolute assurance the health- | giving rays of Old Sol as it affects the is- | land city. When the twelve billion years have passed, The Citizen, under new man- agement, will undoubtedly chronicle the proximity of the startling event: * * Ascaris lumbricoides, “worms” in the | vernacular, is one of the commonest para- sites found-in the intestines of man,‘ chil- | dren particularly being subject’ to ‘the créatures. There are various worm-killers on the market, but chemists of thé Univer- sity Of Wistonsin ‘claim’ the discovery that fresh pine-apple juice does the trick. Can- ‘ned piné-apple won’t do as ‘the™ boiling : necessary to preserve the juice’ destroys | ‘the anthelmintic enzyme. Children’ ‘so | ‘bothered will be delighted ‘since sweet | _ pine-apple naturally is so much éasiér to take than the bitter wormseed oil.” ion from the east and not the | | fice, a letter written to him | annoyance which it now possesses, REGARDING SOUTH BEACH Considerable wrong seems to be in circulation regarding the | | public use of Scuth Beach. Those ‘coun- ! cilmen who are opposing the demand of the hotel and civic interests to abate taxes on the Gato and Sweeney properties be- tween Duval and Simonton streets have | overlooked a few facts. They are con- | fending that because the property owners | | themselves did not request the tax abate- ment and because the beach properties | have been used for many’ years without : | any concessicn to the property owners, | the city should not do anything about fol- owing the suggestion of the Civic Beach | Committee. 2 The facts are very simple: First, the city needs a public beach if it wants to continue as a_ resort center. Hotel and tourist home operators have lost thousands of guests because Key West did not maintain proper and adequate beaches, : Second, it is believed that South Beach can be developed as a temporary public bathing spot for visitors the more ambitious public beach along Roosevelt Boulevard above Bertha street is ready for use. | Third, it would be decidedly foolish to | develop South Beach unless the city was protected by a lease on the property for a ~period of from two to four years. Without a lease the city would have no protection | if the property owners rented the beach after it had been improved to a private in- dividual seeking a personal profit from the thousands of visitors who come here to bask on the beach in the sunshine. The only way to get a lease on the property and thus protect the city against loss of the beach before the Roosevelt Boulevard development is ready is to abate the taxes on the property needed. The city does not have to put out a cent, al- though the city should provide adequate beach facilities by taxing all the people. Key West too long has expected everything for nothing. The city must pay its way if it expects to progress and develop. Why expect the property own- ers forever to go on giving the city some- thing for nothing? Why listen to in-| dividuals striving to develop the beach for their own gain when the city needs a municipally operated public beach? If use of the property under lease re- quires only approval of city council to a group of civic-spirited and unselfish citi. zens, The Citizen believes should take that step without further de- lay. SECRETARY OF STATE GRAY Probably one of the best liked state officials in Florida and one of the most efficient the state has ever had is | Gray, Secretary of State. And therein lies the story of why Bob Gray is not opposed in his candidacy for the office in’ which | “he is serving with distinction to the citizens of Florida. It has been our pleasure to know Bob Gray for many years. Mr. Gray is of quiet, unassuming nature, but when it comes to work while performing his duties | for the state—there is no equal to his ' qualities. He is as honest as the day is long. One of the facts of Mr. Gray’s suc- cess in office is his complete attendance upon business. something from the Secretary of State’s of- is promptly answered. If you have any business with his office you can rest assured that it will be promptly attended to. And, after all, that is what the good people of Florida wish in q state official—one who is honest and one who attends to his duties while not heaping expense upon the taxpayers, | but rather giving service that pleases. That is Bob Gray’s success~—Cocoa Tribune, Sept. 4, 1939. “In compromise and treaty with such a power, placed in such hands as now ex- ercises it and retaining the same means of I see little hope of permanent security.” These words were uttered by the prime minister of England, but it wasn’t Chamberlain.

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN the S.Si‘CuBa* Monday for Ha- vana, said that Hollywood actors were all flocking to Florida and Cuba this winter with Europe closed to them because of the war. He predicted that there would be thousands from the western states who would make their winter home in’ Florida this year. ONE OF THE C.C.C. boys from West Summerland Key camp dropped in and told us |there were strong rumors up there that the C.C.C. Conva- lescent Center at Fort Taylor |would be open shortly. He said ‘that strong breezes keep away | Mosquitoes at that key, but when jit is still they are pretty bad. By \the way, with cold weather com- ing down and hefty winds blow- ing out of north and northwest there isn’t even a little mosquito around. They must have been blown far out in the Caribbean Sea. Some of our naval patrol {planes will probably catch up |with them sometime. | ROUGH WINDS from high pressure areas nearby made it mighty uncomfortable for the destroyers berthed at Pier B.

Suddenly—bang, bang, and ‘he thought a whale had hit the | line. - After a_ terrific Overlin succeeded ‘ in lariding both the snapper and a> large fighting jack, which had struck and become hooked in another of the hvoks on the plug. THE BEACH, which is planned along the boiilevard ‘above Rest Beach, will not be a wild project with just groins placed with the hope that sand will eventually! form a beach. Sand will be. dredged and a large beach form-' ed. The Raul’s area of the beath will also be protected.

How- ever, none of the “floating” fish | ‘will be caught in large numbers! jat present. There is now “muddy water”, which is unsuited for this type of fishing. . .Many small ling boats were beached or an- ' chored- in low water over the} weekend for safety.
