We think the committee should be con- siderably more than that, and, since little information has come out of the group since its formation, perhaps it is. In the first place, as the committee members announced at the time of their formation, the real purpose of the group is don’t wart any. salesman | to coordinate the various advertising cam- paigns carried on from Mognroe county. That is, the chamber of commerce, Over- seas Road and Toll Bridge District, city, county and others, will study their separate appropriations together to avoid conflicts and to spread their story as far as_ their money will carry it. That is the first purpose of the group, will carry it out. n the secondary function of a “no” ques- and they It is Better Business Bureau, that the tion comes up. The committee, along with its other euti will study advertising and pro- motional schemes which their sponsors wish to sell in Key West. Thus, a promoter ‘must go before the committee, presenting | his proposition in writing, before he can be- gin negotiations with any individual firm or division of the group. The committee will have the authority to say “no” and end the question there. As it happens, however, Key West at this point could use some new ideas. Bad ideas, no, if you know they are bad. Good ideas, emphatically yes, and to find the good ideas the committee will have to make study of them all. EYES ON THE GROUND We have read a fanciful story of a young man who once found a $65 bill in the road, an incident which proved to be his eyes on the ground as he walked. During the next 30 years, he found many articles in his path, and accumulated $1.60 in silver coins, 22 pennies, 11,318 but- tons, 27,301 pins, a hunched back, a miserly character and a rotten disposition. Drawing a moral from the’ yarn, the writer points out that while finding these things of little value, the young man lost the glory of the sunshine, the smiles of friends, the beauty of flowers, trees and blue skies. . A good many businss men, he says, are like that—keeping their eyes glued to the ground and failing to see what is going’pn around them, and adds: “Some watch their competitors’ prices | and sales so intently that they lose all per- spective about their own business. Some are so anxious about making and squeezing a dollar today that they do not foresee the developmert of tomorrow. Others are so intent on finding fault that they never find life. : om year to year, these business men piek up buttons and pins from the ground, while their more alert brothers pick business plums from the trees, and at the same time take a part in comunity de- velopmert, with their eyes tomorrow, instead of yesterday.” on WORKING FOR GOOD HEALTH Good health should certainly interest the people of Key West.

Some of the others were out on the long wide veranda, shaded in the sun- set by the tall cottonwood trees. “The program lasts from two in the afternoon till seven; then we're on from eight to ten thirty. It's a couple of hours longer than last year.” “How many times do you want me to sing?” “Two programs a day, we thought. Three quarters of an hour each.
