Among the things the chamber will do will be to attract as many tourists here as possible,.and in that drive it can be pointed out that Key West, after the war, will be far better prepared to provide high-type housing accommodations for tourists. Another thing the chamber is considering is a movement at the right time to welcome to Key West retired men and women who have private sources of in- come and other people who have : regular incomes from pensions.

Holland by O'Hara Sturgell, who works in a war plant in Detroit, that dis- cusses postwar activities. In part, the letter reads “I am a war worker for the government of the United States and as I have lived in Florida for ten years it will always be home to me, and to my family We love every inch of that dear State. “Now to the subject for which I am writing you.
