If they had managed to steal the piano and sold it for money to buy marbles, there would have been a_ possible justification, © ' but to smash it for the pure entertainment | ef wrecking something has no justification. at all. Mrs. Eva Warner, whose recreation department uses the instrument, said this morning her department so far this winter has put seven locks on the piano box to re- place those which have been broken off. The piano, which was donated by Mrs. Milton Curry, was repaired by a group of local citizens after it had been smashed the first time, repaired again for use in Easter ceremonies after the second dismantling, and now is in danger of not being repaired for its intended use at high school gradua- t rations. ident; from ali over the city have ecmplained frequently to The Citizen in re- cent weeks over the pointless slaughter of | birds by young Key Westers. Both resi- dents and visitors were intrigued by the sudden arrival of thousands of small and ‘orful birds, apparently from Cuba. For | ‘be gongs of boys, however, they were omething new to kill off. * General petty thievery, of course, has been going on al) winter, with several gangs being rounded up by the sheriff’s office, | which incidentally, is not a juvenile law { ion celeb: Ke | | | i | enforcement agency. The boys suffered | the punishment of being told to go to Sun- day school, which is about as much punish- | ment as the juvenile court now is in a posi- tion to hand out. Gangs of boys also have done their bit to improve the looks of their native heath | by tearing up a wide assortment of flowers | and shrubs. | On the whole, it has been a | spree for the boys, but they would be smart | to call a halt before long. Too many peo- ple are getting tired of it. } | | TREE NAMED FOR LEE In the past a number of the giant | sequoia trees of California have been named | for distinguished persons, but in recent | years the policy of the Interior Department | has been to deny further additions to the list. Upon request of the Daughters of the Confederacy an exception has been made, | however, and one of the finest specimens | in the Sequoia National Park has been ; named for General Robert E. Lee. Be- | sides being a tree of almost perfect sym- | metry, it is one of the few among these | ancient sequoias that has not been scarred by fire. Among other notables for whom Calis / fornia’s big trees have been named are Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley and General Sherman. Some of the trees are } more than 300 feet tall, and several are more than 30 feet in diameter. Although not the talest, the General Sherman tree is the most massive of all, being 3642 feet in diameter and 279 feet high. In Sequoia National Park, which con- ists of 161,597 acres, there are more than 1,000,000 trees, of which about 12,000 are ore than 10 feet in diameter. The very gest are estimated to be not than 000 years old, It is a strange fact that the sequoia tree, named for Sequoyah, the illiterate half-breed American Indian genius who in- vented the Cherokee alphabet of 85 charac- ters, is found only in the mountains of Cali- fornia. So far as is known, no trees com- arable in size with the largest sequoias exist ee else in the world less WHY READ? Why learn to read? This sounds like a silly question there are so many people who seldom seek to expand their mental vision through the simple process of reading a book With public libraries available there is no need for an individual to go to any un- expense to become informed For a few cents, or less, a volume can be se- ured upon almost any subject that inter- ests the individual. but necessary grand | | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ' I enarshecateensee dinar acer et aieraemeiamaamenral U.

A bad egg does turn up -. but that’s not a sensible reason for destroying all the good taking it out on the hen. Beer retailing in America is some- thing like that. The vast majority of beer retail establishments are clean, law-abiding, wholesome places. And still there may be a few “bad egg” re- tailers who violate the law or permit anti-social conditions. The brewing industry wants these to protect your right once in a while beer... and our right to make it. And also to protect the many bene- fits brought by the beer industry to Florida . . . such as the 18,294 jobs created...and beer’s $15,757,15 lannual payroll. Beer contributed $1,735,893,93. last year in taxes to help pay the cost of government in this state.
