PAGE FOUR —— FINEST AMUSEMENT AT TROPICAL PARK The Firemen’s Tropical Park continues to be very popular with the amusement seekers of Key West. This is attested by the splen- did crowds that attend nightly. It can be attributed to a great extent to the varied and whole- some entertainment offered by the management, it is said. Good order is maintained at all ‘times, and this makes it an attractive place to take the fam- ily for an evening of fun and entertainment. The park is planning a Com- munity Easter Egg Hunt for, all the children Saturday, April 24, from 2 to 6 p. m. Presents; will be given. CALVIN C. CATES TO TAKE TRAINING Calvin Coolidge Cates, son of Bertram Cates, of Petronia street, has been accepted in the U.S. Naval Reserve to take training at the Naval Air Sta- tion Machinists School in Jack- sonville, Fla., for a period of six weeks. AMERICAN LEGION MEETING TONIGHT 1, There will be a regular meet: ing of Arthur Sawyer Post, American Legion, held tonight, beginning at 8 o'clock. 3 Officers for the coming year will be nominated.

Editor, The Citizen: the food situation. and, disburse-. ment between here and, Miami, was read and re-read by one resi- dent whose name appears below. If we had more papers like yours who truthfully would print what they believe to be right and not care “where the dust flies,” there would be far less corruption and vice abroad today. It takes fear- less men to stand for and live to the truth. “Live to the Truth” was the motto of my school, inci- dentally, and having that instilled into one at an early age is a de- finite benefit in later life, Westbrook Pegler is another man who dares stand up and say what he wants, when he knows what he says is so.

FEELS CITY NEEDS PILOT Editor, The Citizen: Thank you for your efforts to make Key West a better place to live in. It most certainly needs help and a guiding hand to steer it along the path of progress and good government. I was not favorably impressed with Key West when I first arriv- ed, and I still am of the oponion that there is much room for im- provement. I attended several meetings of Key West’s City Council, and, while some of the councilmen'seem to be civic-minded, I believe they are a minority. erhaps I am in_ errr in at- tempting to judge Key Westers on a mere residence of three months, but I honestly believe that the majority of the good citizens here are in favor of your policy and silently hope that eventually you will do some good. I hope so, too. 5 It takes courage and a very firm conviction in our American form of government, to endure so patiently, the inertia of citizens to take advantage of the many op- portunities to advance the cause of freedom from pure political government, and convert into gov- | ernment for the people as you are attempting to do. After observing the number of churches here of all denomina- tions, I had hoped to see some ef- forts;,made by them collectively, ‘to/help jpromote Christian prin- ciples; so» desperately, .,.needed_ to preserve’ good, clean government, butphavecfailed,;;te,.see any con- ‘certed attempts: to set that good example )I am referring-to, except in their own churches, where the. time is rather limited. But perhaps your efforts in re- minding the people here of their civic responsibilities when vot- ing, will eventually bear fruit and you will accomplish at least some of the things you advocate. I sincerely hope so. WALTER BECKER. March 23, 1943. Key West Fla., General Delivery. Since 1906, children from poor homes in Great Britain have re- \ceived free meals at school.
