A AMERICAN RED CROSS The American Red Cross is asking for funds with which to'‘continue its good works, It shouldn’t take an_ editorial to awaken anyone to the worthiness of the pngrican Red Cross, it doesn’t need our wor praise for your unanimous ap- poles its. benefits. It shouldn’t need printeys ink to put down in black and white Ww nates the Red Cross able to pour its bleadi es on the sick and dying, hungry and forelorn. homeless and destitute. What it is doing for cur fighting boys today it did yes terday and will do so tomorrow and tomor- row and tomorrow—IF you will help by con- tributing to the organization. They ask for so little in comparison to the universal good they create. Your dollars become food for starving children and milk for a motherless babe, a sweater for a chilled old man and 2 shaw] for an aged woman, blood for a weak marine and a bandage for the wounds of a dicr, a robe for a convalescing aviater, tter home and a light is each dollar you Ss gi There are constant drains on the purse, times when we all say “what next?” and mean it. But of all ealls, never, no NEVER, disregard the plea of the American Red Cross, No need to stress its works in War and in peacetime where nature deals in floods and fires YOwWHGMaware of the deeds its organization. Ask your soldiers if you n't convinced of its needs today, ask a ghbor who has received help, ask a friend who has worked hours in a production room. Cut that is unnecessary—just ask YOUR- SELF, for you know the answer. Give to the American Red Cross so it ean minister to the ‘world’s wounds. Be a part with your keart and your dollars, Who is old enough in Key West to re member when the streets of this town were eight inches in mud most of the time? ida, as second class matter. | \ | { | i TROPICAL GARDENS Key West’s plant life is more varied than that in any other city in Florida, but the number of exotic trees and flowers may easily be increased, as K. N. Dahle is dem- enstrating in his yard here. The list of trees and plauis he is grow- ing, with probably half a dozen exceptions. to frost, they can not be grown in any othe: | | city in the county, despite names such as | Frostproof and Winter Gardens, that may lead the uninitiated to believe there are oth- | er centers in Florida where frost has never | occurred in the history of the United States Weather Bureau. ! But, regardless of names or claims, the Weather Bureau will tell you that Ke West is the only frostfree city in the United | States. And it is for that very reason that | i plants, odd even to us, that grow only in tropic climates, will thrive here. Our frostfree air was a major factor in Key West’s becoming in its early days, the | largest center in the United States for the | manufacture of the Havana cigar, that is, a | cigar that was free from any domestic grown sobaccos. 2 H As the late Walter Lightbourne and. John Wardlew, tobacco experts, pointed | out, time and again, Cuban tobacco can be | worked in Key West under the same clima-'|, ‘tie conditions that prevail where the tobac- co is grown. And that fact is applicable only | to this city in the United States. j But back to beautiful flowers and exotic plants: It is a comparative easy matter for every Key Wester with adequate yard room o grow all of the rare trees Mr. Dahle is | | xrowing here. Were that done, this city could be referred to truthfully as a tropic garden, with all the splendors and glamor that descend like halos on lush and curious plant life. Sigrid Arne, staff writer for the Asso- ciated Press, in an interesting article about Key West, says: “Key West is only a coral reef whieh scemehow grewa tropical garden on its | back.” | During her visit here, Miss Arne recur- | red, time and again, to our beautiful tropical | growths, but she was misinformed on one | point, a fallacy that; persists among Key | Westers generally : that Key West is a coral | island. If you wish to know Key West’s forma- | tion, go out into your back yard, pick up | a stone, and, if it is unbroken, break it with | a hammer. You will see that it is composed | of tiny globules that look like fish roe. That | is what geologists call oolite. : The keys down to the southerly tip af | Key Vacas are of coral formation. The up- | per chain runs northeast to southwest, or almost so; after the break, the keys. range | almost east to west. The lower chain is of | of oolitic formation. However, while this island was in pro- | cess of formation polyps surrounded it with beautiful coral gardens, and the polyps are still continuing to turn out their wonderful | creations. We will have better law enforcement in the United States when citizens general- ly are more willing to obey the law them- selves, | interesting . question which i arrived in the OWI mailbag: George Fra- | izer, Jacksonville, colored, i want to know if a man have no depenounce and he have property and have cow and hog and a car | and money and he is call in Government service will the Government be responsible for his welth until he come Back. Here’s an PUBLIC NOTICES { oes ee i (Punta Gorda Herald) | Adequate public notice protects peo- j ple’s interests. Yet some people don’t realize what it means to them. They let curtailment after curtailment be put through the legisla- | ture. Public notices should be expanded, not | limited or further curtailed. Advertising of | delinquent taxes speeds up collections and | holds down delinquencies, and tends to keep | from going higher the taxes of the man who | pays. Publication of school board and com- missioners’ minutes—receipts and exper- ditures — would enlist more public inter- | est in those public affairs and would keep | the public better informed—it’s advertis- | ing that’s fully worth to the public’all it | | costs. Lists of occupational licenses, if pub- lished each year before eolleetions close, | would insure fuller collections and help pre- | vent the dodging of them by some people | | in some counties. Adequate public notice | is of incaleulable value to both the citizens | and the officials of a county, { FOR SALE — Fully - equipped |FOR SALE—Kozy THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ‘BUILDINGS’ ON THE BUGS By H.
