In less than two years the Key West | | Lions have established themselves in this | city, have distinguished their activities by fine and gracious service and have created something good out of nothing. For the most part the Lions are young men, al- though they are fortunate in having the | advice and counsel of some older and more | experienced men.

A CRIME AGAINST CIVILIZATION The German attack upon Norway |they produce hundreds of frag. | cannot be explained except upon the | theory that Hitler has no regard for the rights of any nation, or any people, except his own.

A | | derwey, with a newsprint mill Those who are prone to condone Ger- man aggression, as necessary to the pres- ervation of Germany, will find it hard to excuse the wanton killing of Norwegian sailors, who died in ships assaulted and sunk by a foe that slipped up to them | without any indication of hostility. It is bad enough to kill men in battle but it is another thing to assassinate them without giving them a chance to fight for their lives. To suddenly attack the war- ships of a neutral power, to bombard the | cities cf a friendly nation without warning and to use overpowering force against a | weaker, unsuspecting, people is a crime against civilization. A NEW SOUTHERN INDUSTRY A great industry for the South is un- in opera- tion at Lufkin, Texas. Two other plants are to be established in Tennessee. The development of the newsprint in- dustry in this section is“due to the work of one of which is that Uncle Sam lent John | Bull some $10,000,000,000 from which we havn’t-even received a small token. But it is not likely that the elongated gentle- man will make the same mistake twice— we are going to shinny on our own side after.this, regardless of what the higher ups have in mind, Dr. Herty, who perfected the process for making newspaper from Southern pine. Most of the newspapers in the United | States are printed upon paper that is made in Canada, or some other foreign country. While we wish these foreign plants no ill will it will be fine for the nation if the newsprint that this nation consumes can [be made in the South, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN | eee ‘Their Homes and Gardens preae | woree By MYRTLE COSGROVE . . MRS. STEPHEN DOUGLASS’ GARDEN Mrs. Stephen Douglass has one of those comfortable, old- fashioned gardens where ‘wide- ispreading trees cast long, cool shadows; where birds sing all the’ day through and vivid tropical flowers shed their fragrance on ‘the still summer air. . .Dr. Doug- glass, who spends most of his waking hours in this delightful spot, claims that he and Mrs. ‘Douglass had no set plans in laying out the garden; that they aided and abetted , rather than dictated to Nature; there there has been no attémpt whatever to \“gild the lily and paint the ,rose”. . .The result has been a charming sense oi informality and ease. The splendid mass formation of trees in the back- ground provide balance and long, | clear vistas which add depth and breadth to the grounds. . .This is one of the largest gardens on the island, occupying approxi- ‘mately two acres. . .It has been in Mrs. Douglass’ family for} more than 70 years. . .A num-! ber of tne trees have quaint jend interesting histories. Out- standing is the Spanish cork (2nespeca popuinea) whose low | spheauing branches cover a space ot d0x9u teet.

The} medicinal qualities of this is well known to Key Wester: | who have used it for generations | Seven years ago, Dr. and Mrs. Douglass planted 14 small royal poinciana trees along two sides of their garden. These were seedlings of the mother tree said | to be one of the oldest in - the, jcity. Not only did each and} every one live but they put forth | bud and blossom the fifth year | jafter being planted. Within the, jnext few weeks these trees will | spread a-dazzling parasol of sear- |let flowers unsurpassed for bril- ; \liancy and beauty. . .Reminiscent ‘of the perfumes of Araby are the | ,two small plumeria trees, better |known as frangi panni or West | Indian jasmine. Clothed in stiff, slender, heavy-veined _ leaves, rant, star-shaped flowers. Na- it ves of Jamaica, these trees were first introduced into France dur- | jing the reign of Louis XVI by |General Frangipanni, for whom |, they were named. . .Clustered | about the Douglass’ home are a |dozen or more huge sappadilla | | trees. Despite the fact that these are fast nearing the century | jmark, they are ir excellent con- | dition and heavily laden with! fruit. Chewing gum |will be interested to learn that the sappadilla, or sapote as it is known. in Central America, pro- duces the chicle from which |chewing gum is made. . .Most junusual is the yellow gall tree (Thevetia _nereifolia) whose seed, contaifed in round cases, | are called lucky beans. In Hono- lulu they are worn as pendants jor charms.
