Michael Crowley writes The Citizen’! from Laguna Beach, \Cal., regretting that he is not a voter here so that he could vote in the ensuing election. “Although I’ve often wished to, visit beauti, ful Florida, today F wish I were and had been living there. Them I could vote in your Democratic Primary for a most cap- able man, a man, that the Senate and the Nation needs. I hope: you in Florida will elect — as Democratic Senator.” Newspaper readers are familier with the laconic statement “Paid Politicat Adver- tiseuie: t”, but the aboxe is an unpaid poli- tice) plug, and is printed to show a devious way of helping to put over a candidate for office. S sity Assessor-Collector Sam | Pinder gives the impression that he is run- | why not | He says: | i In having Key West selected as the scene of the 1941 convention of the Flor- |ida Department of The American Legion, the members of Arthur Sawyer Post No. 28 of the veterans organization have set in | motion another whecl of events. that may ‘ very we ‘| give this city a new lift towards \ prgsperity. * That is the establishment of Key West as a convention city. It isa virgin terri- tory, a fertile field for development. The Key West Legionnaires have shown that it is possible, through careful planning and concerted action, to, induce a major state convention to come to Key West. to handle such a convention other state or- | ganizations are likely to look favorably {upon Key West for future meetings. The catch is that Key West must prove herself worthy of such honors, prove a success, not alone for the benefit of the Legionnaires, but for the general welfare of the citizens of this community. Every element in the city must, therefore, cooperate with and assist the members of Arthur Sawyer Post. in staging this all- important gathering. One of the pyoblems confronting the veterans in working out their arrange- ments will be a convention hall. While | “from 2000. to 3000 persons are expevted to | j attend next yea convention ‘here, only | { perhaps 400 of those attending will come as delegates and alternates. convention hall seating upwards of 500. In solving this problem Arthur Sawyer Post ay be expected to ask for use of one of | the Coast Guard buildings for its official convention meetings. Such a makeshift arrangement em- It need not be a big hall, for the city is not large enough to handle national conven. tions of the major organizations. should be a fairly good-sized hall, quately ‘equipped with loud speakers, a platform, comfortable seats and. other facilities. It would be available for amateur, , theatricals, community meetings and other publi¢ gatherings. It will be a year before the American | Legion convention. In that time a conven. { tion hall might be erected. All those op- | posed “nay”, those in favor should | notify some of our public officials to ex- | amine the possibility of a sponsorship fund | for such a hall. | GREATEST SOURCE OF FAMILY _ TROUBLE These psychiatrists are hard-headed, stubborn boys. They will tackle. any problem and | give you the answer without wasting | words in shading the question until it loses forcefulness, Now, what do you think is the great- | source of family trouble? This is a question that has wrecked | romance, blasted family life and dis- | integrated the home. In fact, it is such a | | dangerous query that a cagey individual, male or female,-will pass it up almost | | without reading it: | Not so, however, with the psy- chiatrists. Dr. Abraham Myerson, right | off the bat, and without a thought of home life, apparently, says, “The struggle be- tween husband and wife over who is going to be ‘boss’ ” is the answer to the query. To add fuel to the fire he insisted that “efficiency in family life is best served by | | the dominance of one person.” This will | not cause much'trouble in itself. Every | ; member of the family will readily agree. | The havoc begins when somebody tries to | locate the dominance. EXPERIENCE FOR DENMARK py It must be comforting to the Danish | |, people to. understand, from the lips of Gen. Leonard Kaupisch, commander of the | German invaders, that the German sol- | Gidrs “have come as friends.” It may be pleasing to know that the Nazis “have no desire to kil friends like the Danes,” even if it is disquieting to be | told that “naturally nothing must happen | that is counter to German interests.” Less than a year ago the Danes en- cexed into, a solemn treaty with Herr Hitler, | both parties promising not to, violate the territory of the other. The non-aggression pact, signed to demonstrate to, the world that smalk nations were not threatened by iTifler’s regime, was “worth less than a sevap. of paper when Germany decided to jiake over Denmark.” If Key West demonstrates her ability | The 1941 state | | convention of The American, Legion must | This means a | phasizes the need here, as often pointed | out by The Citizen, for a convention hall. | But it | ade- | tik Key West crtizen TODAY’S COMMON.
