Some | of the regular users of the beach volun- | teered their labor and assisted the as- | sociation’s beach committee in the work. | The result is that the beach is clean, the | sand is free of debris and the area is as attractive as it can be. | | city’s tourist facilities. As pointed out by | The Citizen cn many occasions, hundreds of tourists have left Key West shortly after | their arrival simply because there was no | good sand along the ocean for their use. | The majority of visitors immediately seek the sun wher they arrive: Finding no | clean beach on which to develop a coat of | tan and soak up some of the health rays typical of this tropical area, they left. They left with a poor opinion of this as a | They became ‘active pub- | | licity agents committed to a policy of rap- | | tourist resort. ping Key West. The efforts of the hotel organization | are to be commended as the kind of com- munity service that Key West needs. Those who supported the association by | outright contributions or through pur- | chase of associate memberships must feel that the money they invested has been well spent.. South Beach as it now appears is a monument to their generosity. South Beach, however, is a small beach. In a few weeks it undoubtedly will be too small to accommodate the influx of visitors expected here. This fact should not be overlooked by our county officials working on the plan to sponsor the large public beach along Roosevelt Boulevard above Bertha Street. Every effort should be made to speed up this plan, assure the sponsorship funds and procure WPA ap- proval of the project. No resort com- munity can have too many beaches. The mcre there are the more who will come to enjoy them. BILLION FOR SCHOOLHOUSES Two billion dollars have been spent | in building schoolhouses in the United | States during the past five years, says Dr. S. L.

Cats figure in stage superstition. When a cat crosses the stage during the performance of a play it is regarded as as- suring the play’s success. That is under- standable for the audience titters satis- factorily whetiever that situation arises, and sometimes the cat gets a great hand. It is 4 myth to think that banks will | tend money on character. In the first place bankers don’t know much about judging character or they are prejudiced Having beén stung so often and lost faith in-human nature; and in the second place the law does not permit them to lend the people’s money without sufficient col- lateral. Also, even if the prospective bor- rower has the reputation of being honest, neither He nor the lefder can foretell the possible future impoteyce of the borrower to pay when payments become due. The security of the depositors’ money is the prime consideration of. every honest banker, | pended! There are buildings in every county | in Florida that show some results of this | policy. New schoolhouses have been con- | structed and old buildings have been im- | preved. Incidentally, most of the money has been well-spent. REACHING THE GUARDSMEN Nobody can deny that the United | States is taking this preparedness business | seriously. ‘ The War Department not only plans | the largest peace-time concentration in the | South this Winter but also expects to give | the National Guard more intensive train- | ing to make it the “minute man” army. Drills willbe held twice a week, with | a week-end. of-training every month and | two weeks of Summer maneuvers: This will intensify the training of the guards- men and fit them for immediate service in | an emergency, In view of the comparatively small number of men in the regular army it | seems entirely reasonable to enlarge and | | improve the National Guard. A nation of the size of the United States can easily af- | ford the expense involved in maintaining | an armed establishment of around 600,000 mer. especially when the number is re- garded in connection with the possible | calls for duty, shore | beautiful hostelry it is. is'of long there is danger that leave.
