Monree County hasy such a commission, though not legally con- stituted—the city of Key West has none. Therein lies the approach to the problem of proverly advertising the benefits of our city and county. During the past two cr three years hundreds of ideas have been suggested to various agencies in Key West having to do with advertising promotions—s*hemes that hove called for expenditures o* large and s.nall sums of money, either froia pub- lic ov private tills. Individually, and col- lo tively, -ometimes,-some of these ideas ave been approved and promoted. Too ny of them, however, have been sub- s ed to with little thought as to their worch from a whole city, or whole county, standpoint. Consequcntly, waste has.been ba | prevalent. Just recently, one idea was broached to the Chamber of,’@ommerce. . The pro- moter apparenfly had ‘something that ap- pealed to the governing committee. Just one member, however, had the foresight to smole out certain discrepancies. Result: the scheme fell through. Later develop- ments proved the action right. The pro- | moter was entirely discredited in another More recently, the City Council was ' appreached with a scheme to enter a float in the Orarge Bowl Year’s Day. parade A majority of next New the council Some said it was “poor advertising’ —others stated it “‘cost | too much for the return possible”.

There is only a certain amount of money here that can be spent for adver- tisirg. Beyond that amount, expenditures would be doubly wasteful. Protection for both public and private purses would be effected with the establishment of an Ad- vertising Planning Commission. “BIT OF LARCENY IN EVERY CHILD” IndividuaJs witha yen to reform the world, includigg theshi Iman race, ean learn a lot from Lieut. ‘ffarry Costello, of the Chicas» Crime Preyention Bureau, who is working to establish “play spots” throygh- out Chicago as a.means of reducing’ jave- re delinguen Lieut. Costello says that »0 per cent of the young delinquents can be turned from paths of crime with proper guidance, that there is a bit of larceny in every child and that nobody can talk reform to a boy who is hungry and poor. While Key West is not as big as Chi- cago, it has, to a less degree,“ the same problems connected with young people. There is no reason why the plan advocated by this Chicago police officer should not be adopted here and applied to fit local conditions.

Twice a who tennis week during the football season she broadcasts cver a New York _ station (WNEW) a pert report of the na- tion’s gridiron events. Friday eve- nings she forecasts scores of 45 big college games for the coming weekend. Saturdays she com- pares her predictions with the final scores and describes the games. The studio says that, so far, she has been right eighty per- cent of the time. She 1s at ease in front of the microphone too— zips along in a breezy style. Seoring footbali games comes natural to Alice. She played football with her brothers and learned its fine points from them befcre she ever touched a tennis racquet. The young Marbles used to score football games together by the hour. Now Alice devotes part of her talks to explaining the game's intricacies so women can understand. Between broadcasts the girl who now holds more tennis hon- s than any other woman, will in towns in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New England on “The Will to Win”. The talk is aimed at American youth and is based on Alice Marble’s creed: “You can do any- thing you want to, provided you have the will to win and will sac- rifice for it”. Come Christmas, Miss Mar- ble will begin a third job. She will appear as a singer for a week's engagement at Loew’s State theater on Broadway. This will not be her singing debut— she has appeared previously in New York night clubs—but it’s her first Broadway appearance and it gives her a thrill. She will do five shows a day, singing tennis-theme songs writen es- pecially for her. Besides this, she designs ten- nis clothes for New York and Baltimore sports clothes manu- facturers. She really designs too —takes one of the firm's design- ers with her to tennis games and works out intricate cuts. Her latest trick is a long- sleeved tennis shirt. inspired by a sunburn whose lobster effect embarrassed her last summer when she wanted to sing in evening clothes. She seys the long sleeves don't re- strict her famous smashing serve. Between times the hard-hitting queen of the courts finds time for tennis practice. But she re- cently denied reports that she would add to her activities by turning professional. There’s a big difference be- tween the teen-age tomboy who used to romp around football and baseball fields. and Alice Marble at 27. The champion loves pret- ty clothes of the semi-sports class, and wears them with dash.
