By this time, they should know that the Finnish Relief Fund, Incorporated, headed by Herbert Hoover, former Pre: National Chair- man of the Fund, is actively soliciting con- | tributions for the relief of civilian distress | caused by the Soviet invasion. All money contributed will be avail- | able for relief to the: Finnish population. All expenses in connection with the cam- | paign in this country are borne by special HELA LEAP YEAR PROPOSAL ! | funds provided by certain persons for that | purpose. The Finnish Relief Fund attempts to |help Finland in all emergencies that are included under the head of public charity. | Mr. Hoover says that the immediate emer- gency is destitution and the care of ref- | ugees arising from the evacuation of sev- | eral hundred thousand civilians, mostly | women and children, from the towns and | fighting areas. Money contributed in this | country to aid the civilian population re- | lieves the Finnish Government of some of | its burden and permits it to concentrate | all resources on the fighting front. An effort is being made to secure con- tributions to the Finnish Relief Fund throughout the United States. An or- | ganization has been effected in Key West and our people are asked to make a con- tributicn to this worthy cause. Certainly, we should tecognize that sympathy for Finland is important but without effect against the vast armies of | Soviet Russia. Sympathy may comfort the destitute civilians but it does not feed wounds. There are numbers of people ready to denounce the “Communists” as the perils of civilization. Here is a chance to do something about the defense of the ideals that Red Russia assails. The Finns are fighting. If you believe that ‘“Com- munism”’ is the enemy of the world, make a donation to the Finnish Relief Fund. As President Roosevelt said in his | talk to the members of the American | Youth Congress, Finland is a democracy ! and forward-looking democracy, at that. What does it avail her in her hour of need? Will al) the peace-loving, independence- loving peoples of the world fold their hands and say, “It’s Finland’s fight?” REAL ACCIDENTS FEW What are generally classed as _ acci- dents are in most cases not accidents at all, but merely the results of pure careless- ness or recklessness, according to a noted surgeon, who declares that really unpre- ventable accidents are very few. The greater number of accidents are caused by failure to keep in mind the con- THE KEY WEST CITIZEN HELP! Se LANNE & Soworne pc — Noe & Ces NATURE NOTES By J.C.

Congress: Postmaster Farley said recently: | “You hear constant talk of the ability of a regime to perpetuate itself. That is all moonshine.’ Twelve years—and maybe more—of one Administration is not per- petuity, but it is oppressively long. And | when one corsiders how the administrative | machine works, it is apparently dan- gerous. The people of Louisiana wouldn’t stand for a third Louisiana Purchase, and the crooked and dictatorial machine creaied by Hughey Long is thrown out the | window. The remark attributed to Abra- ham Lincoln applies: “You can foo] some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.” All the candidates for the governor- ship are advocating the completion of the Everglades National Park. It is so ob- vious a great benefit for Florida and par- tieular Monroe County where much of the terrain is situated that no candidate would oppose it. Candidate Fuller War- ren in his platform has this to say with | reference to the proposed National Park: “I promise to get the Everglades National Park project completed. It would be of untold benefit to Florida and the Nation. It ean be made an attractive rivaling Yel- lowstone National Park. It is the last great American area of wild tropical flora and fauna, and it should be preserved per- petually.” j | no caution. danger is realized. Of 35,000 deaths in the United States through automobile accidents each year, it | is safe to say that 90 per cent of them are due to someone’s disregard of ordinary safety precautions. The worst feature of this is that a reckless driver not only en- dangers himself but also trifles with the lives-of others. In accidents due to fire the same principle holds good. Everyone knows how easily the careless throwing of a light- ed match may start a disastrous fire, yet millions of lighted matches, cigar and cigarette stubs are cast aside with little or Practically every fire that oc- curs is caused by stupid carelessness. Accidents do happen, of course, un- | der circumstances wherein no one appears | to be at fault, but these are in the minority. Generally accidents are caused by ignor- ance, carelessness or wanton disregard of consequences, | SAFETY IN THE AIR The presentation of safety awards to aviation companies, recently made by the National Safety Council, calls. attention to the fact that more than 80,000,000 sched- j uled plane-miles were flown last year, with only two‘accidents involving fata] in- juries to either passengers or crews. Four major airlines had a clear record | for the year, having flown a combined to- that the display as a whole was sanc and conservative, most of’ ,the work understandable and pleasing to common folks, who,! after all, are apt to be good judg- jes of both truth and _ beauty.! There were many lovely scenes of Key West and vicinity, a beach ; landscape by Townsend Morgan ; j will long be remembered.. The impressionist school was well |represented by work that was| |clean, strong and effective. | See, | | “It is a fine thing, this develop- (ment of appreciation of beauty, jand of artistic taste and expres- sion; it increases immeasurably | the enjoyment of life, and its re- fining influences should invari- | ably tend to lift physical passions, | intellectual tastes and the heart’s ‘emotions to higher and purer; levels. Certainly, we find among | these artists and their associate: ja warmth of friendship, an appre- | ciation of each other’s work and ;Personal qualities, a mutual in-j terest and desire to help one an-j other that is most delightful and comforting to the heart. And more |than this, their influence extends ; jinto their surroundings and citi- zenship, and the whole city is benefitted by~ their atmosphere and their spirit. “As we have just said, the ap-| preciation of beauty and its ex-: pression is a fine thing, and good |for life.

We came intending to re- main four weks; we have been here ten. It has been a time of} constantly increasing courtesies, of a widening circle of delightful friends until our hearts are well- nigh overflowing;.and when at the last our hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. White. assisted by other friends, opened their house to gathering of forty-five, primarily to see the collections of fish, per- haps; but welcoming us as friends into their company; our feelings become too deep for words. An artistic little booklet, conceived by Mrs. White and executed by Mrs. Marion K. Winter, and with a dedicatory poem by Edith M. Leuthi, contains the names of all these friends, and will often be looked upon with pleasure. They are lovely folks, these Key West- \ ers”. For Fifty Years A NAME!
