CRITICIZES ARTICLE Editor, The Citizen: Following is an excerpt from a {last week. I hope Key West has missed the worst of it. | “The only first-hand informa- | tion to come our way was in a syndicated column last week !when the reporter wrote up Key | West and seemed to find nothing ‘but enormous mosquitoes. He {related his-trip to the drug store | immediately for a bottle of am-> |monia and left jtwo days ‘swol the island after with ‘fed welts. | {portant part in the development |of radio broadcasting telephone, # The list is staggering, the ‘fig- jures overwhelming.

There | ‘are huge schools of giant king-| {fish running wild into the reefs from just off the Stream and, imackerel are also plentiful. The | very interesting run of very) |small sailfish is about over and ithe big fellows are starting to |be caught. The run of small sail- | \fish, fishing guides say, was un- 'precedented for a good many! years. So many kingfish are and _ the} | Benefactor of Humanity. other wonders of the mechanical | world and the transportation and | communication industries all owe} their existence, either directly or son. He has been granted more than 1,150 invention patents. Edison was a ureless worker. All his life, this Force he per-| \sonified and gave to the world jlabored not for Thomas Edison, | jbut for all mankind. | Today, it lives on. The indus- j tries arising directly from the in- | | ventions and discoveries of Thom- | las Edison, represent, at a con- jservative estimate, well over thir- |ty billions of dollars. They have |made the United States the great- | lest industrial nation on the, face | lof the earth. The potentialities of the or- | ganized research methods and} \rich industrial heritage which 'Thomas Edison bequeathed to the | world in general and to America, |in particular defy the powers of human calculation and _ conjec- \ture. That is a strong statement to make—but a true one. That is why the Force of Edi- son cannot die. It will go on for- | lever in the hearts, minds and jdeeds of men. | It is difficult, indeed, to think of any other man, in all the pages |of history, who has contributed to mankind the tremendous jamount of good that has come |and will continue to come, from the undying Force of Thomas Al- |va Edison. Yes, an immortal Force was born in that little town of Milan, Ohio. Sunday, February 11, is Edi- son’s birthday. He did not found our country nor did he save it from destruction, but Thomas Edison takés his place beside Washington and Lincoln as a} truly great American. He made the world a better place in which to live.
