OCEAN EYE FOR AFRICA DAKAR SERVES AS OUTLOOK| , ON SEA TRADE FROM WESTERN EUROPE Wide World Features Dakar, Vichy-controlled capi- tal of French West Africa on which world attention is focuss- ing, is a modern city with beauti- ful parks, buildings and_ streets} and a population of 120,000—one! sixth of them whites. Established in 1857 by the French at the tip of the African Atlantic Coast, Dakar serves as Africa’s eye upon sea trade from} Western Europe, South Africa and South America. It is only 1,800} miles from Brazil. Its present im-j| portance dates from 1898, when it was developed as a_ military port. Today several miles of} docks and modern installations permit handling of all kinds of, merchandise and safe anchorage} for the largest ships. Imports SIIDEILLL: THIS COULD HAPPEN HERE A defense worker with five children was having no luck in finding a home for his family. When he finally located a vacant place he was turned down as soon as the landlady saw the carload of kids waiting to move in. Desperately the man relat- ed his troubles to a friend. And together they hatched up an idea. Before going to see anoth- er vacancy, the man and his wife took the children to a nearby cemetery, and left them there with a picnic lunch, with instructions to stay put till the parents re- turned. When the usual question of how many children was put to them, the man an- swered huskily, “Five, but they are all out in Fairmont Cemetery.” Sympatheticelly, the own- er brought out the lease; it was signed, and the children and exports normally total Leon 000 tons a year. Peanuts are the} main cash crop of nearby Sene-| gal. Dakar connects by rail to st! Louis, at the mouth of the Senegal River, and to Bamako| on the Nigerias headwaters. Al road is also believed under con-} struction to link Bamako with} Morocco in North Africa. | War has curbed continental liv-} ing of Dakar’s officer and offi-| cial class.

One thing stands out as cer- tain—Key West is due for an early expansion on a large scale of its housing facilities. The Chamber of Commerce project, a story of which was carried in The Citizen October | 24 and concerned the building of | houses and apartment houses in what was called “the blighted} area”, is the one which has been brought to a standstill because of | inability to get a priority rating on necessary material.
