The first pri- mary is always a noisy demonstration of | democracy at work. The second primary, May 28, will be less noisy, more business- like as the well-oiled organizations of the | | leading candidates swing into action. To all intents and purposes the peo- | ple of Monroe county have spoken their | | will regarding the various candidates that | came before them for the various county } Except ina few instances those | | who will guide the county’s affairs the | | next few years were named Tuesday. Their election next November will be a: formality. Now that the voters have made their | selections, the good cf the community de- mands that the vanquished lick their | | wounds with quiet dignity, shake hands with the victors and offer their co-opera- | | tion in meeting and solving some of the pressing problems confronting the county. Many of our citizens are without em- | ployment, private or public. They must | be supplied with jobs through sponsorship | of federal projects. Key West needs ay public beach. Sponsorship of a project to | provide that beach will give some of our | unemployed work. The county must as- sist in providing an airport.for the area. That will make more jobs. The county | ne water. The ccunty commission must keep after our representatives “at Tallahassee and Washington to provide the funds. That will make more jobs. Over- seas highway needs improvement. Our | county officials must strive to have the | State Road Department get back of this project. That would provide other jobs. Monroe’s needs are so varied and great that there should be no time for our | county officials to engage in any outside | activities by reason of the recent primary. | When these men go into office they’ve got | to work to deserve the jobs they have been assured. They can’t work without com- | munity co-operation. The Citizen is glad the primary is This should now become a_ peace- ful, forward looking community. LET’S PREPARE NOW | The Key West contingent of Schoel Patrol boys is now en route to the Wash- ington, D. C. convention and parade to be Fourteen boys, their | two directors and Rotary Club sponsor- committee member will have the time of It is a fine thing for them and it is altogether fine | that the trip is being made. From an advertising standpoint, the entry of the Key West unit in this national affair is worth every cent raised by the | Rotary Club and other contributing agen- | cies—and then some. | the mammoth parade, The boys will lead representing the southernmost city in the U. S._- Publicity will be widespread in the press. Other features of the convention will servé to re- | flect additional honor on Key Wést—and i it’s all a most worthy undertaking. THe Citizen hopes that plans will be set in motion immediately to make this trip ments next year. } As long as the American Automobile | Association holds to the rule of honoring the southernmost city sending representa- tives to the parade, it should be imperative | that Key West take advantage of that | situation, with its publicity values and educational value contained in it for our boys. Budgeted plans, started now, with aid | from the city-at-large, will make next year’s participation in the Patrol Boys’ trip of greater proportion.
