This move has precipitated a long string of rumors, one of which is that no city election is to be! held next November and the pres- ent officers are to have their terms extended two years by a legislative act. In a story, published in The Citizen several weeks ago, Repre- sentative Bernie Pany stated that would be a violation not only of the constitution of Florida but of the United States also that this inalienable right can not be taken away from the people by a legisla- tive act. “You may recall, that the Re- publicans, during the last presi-/ dential campaign, declared that Roosevelt, in the event of re-elec- tion, would by-pass the congres- sional elections in, 1942. “That statement was said to be too ridiculous for comment. It was merely pointed out that we have a constitution, and that that con- stitution is in effect in war times as well sa in times of peace. “But the Republicans stayed on} mass meetings will be held in the City Hall to discuss the proposed | changes in the charter, but sev- eral Key Westers have stated that the right thing to do, so that every interested Key Wester can famil-; iarize himself with the proposed; the firing line, purely as a matter! of adverse propaganda, and, after) the presidential election was over, nothing further was said about not holding the 1942 congressionel’ elections. “If Mr. Papy wishes to lengthen DIERS FROM BARRACKS | IN LINE OF MARCH | The Red Cross parade got away right on time yesterday afternoon at.4 o'clock, starting from the coiner: of Ufiitted and Whitehead! streets, proceeding on United to Duval, then down Duval to! Southard, /and finally on to the Army Barracks at the foot of} Southard street. The parade was} headed by the Army band. There were several companies of soldiers, and other military units included in the procession, | besides Red Cross nurses, hospital attendants, fire department, Boy and Girl Scouts, and various in-} dividuals. . Mayor Albury and other officers | of the city took part in the parade, which proved to be very success- ful. | HENRIETTA MOSS | HALF BLOCK FROM FOR- | MER LOCATION i Dr. J. A.

BARBARA GREENE Not Yet It must have been very dark in it has! | CORRECTS STATEMENT Editor, e Citizen: In The Citizen of March 16, I am quoted ‘as saying that “we are going to’ see that! we get Our ‘fair share of meats in'Key West?” and that “if we can’t get it in’ Miami, ‘we'll get it elséwhere.” T am sure that the article was written with the friendliest of in- tentions and that the misquotation was unintentional. The attitude of The Citizen toward the Chamber of Commerce has always been one of cooperation that has called forth our sincere .appreciation. But, as we do not even know | what Key West’s fair share of | meat might be, and have our doubts as to there being any “fair” share of anything, we would like | to go on record as giving to the esteemed War Production Board the comforting assurance that we do not contemplate taking over any of their responsibilities.
