They were culled from the lead editorial in The Citizen exactly ten years ago. re | They were true then. They are even | more true today. i = The editorial printed a decade ago ad- | vised Key West property owners to improve | their real estate. That is always good ad- | vice but today it is more cogent than ever. j Today, Key Westers should not only | improve their property but they should ex- plore the possibilities of investing in new homes and apartments. There never was a time in the history of this city when there were more or bet- \ ter reasons for investing in building‘ aor f ects. | Key West will never again experience | the difficulties it aufferd inthe past. Never | again will it be dependent on a single in- | dustry. No matter what the outcome of the war, Key West will always be an important, integral part of the nation. Even if in the need for a large standing army or navy, | Key West with its naval base and army air- | port will servé asa terminal for huge air- | liners carrying civilian passengers by the * thousands to and from North and South | America. i | Key West, too, is destined to be the fa- | yorite winter resort of the wealthy. Miami and Miami Beach are already considered | too crowded for those who seek exclusive- | ness. ; Washington with its long range plan- | ning is investing in Key West. It has al- ready allocated money for two big housing projects to meet the current needs of the city. This is a good time to build,—talk of | priorities notwithstanding. The FHA which | invites citizens to avail themselves of gov- ernment aid in home buiding would be in- clined to favor Key Westers. Then, too, there are present in Key West today a great many workmen skilled in the building trades, - Key West’s bright future holds attrac- | tive opportunities for those-with foresight. | One can spend many hours in pleasant | meditation reflecting on the possibilities which the city affords. DEFENSE ITEM thing about defense: One day recently a plane factory in Texas delivered fifty all-metal training | planes to the government. One year before the field upon which the plant stands was growing cotton. Structural steel was unloaded late im No- vember, 1940, and the first plane was as- | sembled April 7th. There are hundreds of similar plants | in the United States busy today turning out | | weapons for the defense of democracy. We | hear of only a few but when the full story of our rearmament program becomes known, Americans will be proud of their | country. | U. 8.
