Sunday morning marked the end of an even six weeks since Frank Johnson’s Duval hotel and the adjoining building at Duval and Greene streets were destroyed by fire. Four weeks ago Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. | | Roy Ness died in their ear, 25 feet beneath | the waters of the P. & O. steamship slip, while wocld-be rescuers waited helplessly ' for more-than an hour until a wrecker could | life thé rifithine to the surface. Three weeks ago last Saturday, a Mon, roe county “grand jury urged that the city, | county, or both in conjunction acquire a pulmotor, making some effort at prepared- } ness in case there should be another acci- | dent such as that which overtook the Ness { couple. | | | ing the grand jury report, Fire Chief Harry | Baker suggested that a diving helmet and | prevention of another water tragedy. We have heard nothing more about avy. of those subjects. Have you? At the risk of seeming impatient, six | weeks does seem a long time to wait before | any action is taken toward removal of the | charred rubbish at one of the city’s prin- | cipal corners—Duval and Greene streets. Except for the inevitable:coroner’s ins; | quest, no:one-has mentioned thé Ness couple’ “ein ane four weeks-since-they-were-allowed. to die, because, there was m mt to rescue them, ; MOVET? | Arid what of the rane jury’s report? | Again, lest we seem impatient or for- | getful of the city’s financial condition, The | Citizen would like to remind our city fa- | thers that removal of the rubbish from | Duval and Greene streets requifes no ex- penditure of city funds, and purchase of temporarily effective life saving equipment would cost less than $300. To remove the Duval-Greene eyesore needs only the demand of the city that it be ‘cost charged to the owners. The lifesaving equipment, we repeat, costs less than $300 —a figure which, in justice, could be split between city and county. AWARD FOR GOOD-WILL ;Each yearj;the James Monroe High j-sehool of Washington, D.C., confers a good- | will award on “‘that citizen who‘has done most to devélop harmonious relations amongst the peoples of the world.” Quite | appropriately, the award is in the form of a large globe. The Monroe Good-Will Award for 1941 has just been conferred on Dr. Everett R. Clinchy, an eminent New York clergy- man, in recognition of his long efforts to promote religious tolerance. the “seminar” conferences for the study of relations among Protestants, Catholics and Jews, and since 1928 has been director of the national conference of Christians and Jews, It has been said of Dr. Clinchy that he “has probably done more than, any other | Aimerican in recent years to erase denomi- “fitiortal’ prejudices.” fard, he saidzjeog ia cs: “If I were asked what is the greatest | | Jews : are estab ishing Piedsin on of brotherhood.” In a world in which there is so much of | intolerance and hatred, it is good to know that as Americans we live ina land where many like Dr, Clinchy still strive to promote brotherhood and good-will” “SULFA”- DRUGS DANGEROUS There is reason to warn the people of Key West against the indiscriminate use of the newly developed “sulfa” drags and we call attention to the recent statement of the American Medical Association that while ~— drugs have certain diseases they also Secondary “Te éffects that are ly be tp both patient and an ty.” { et bitycise in Sheleperimental state is well known to physicians, who ‘are ex- tremely careful in. their use.
