+ BSS SS PANT ITO She Key Wiest Citizen VOTING FOR COMMISSICINERS The Citizen was under,the impression that it had sufficiently explained how the proposed new law, requiring county com- missioners to run at large, will operate, but judging from a letter received from Leonard* Lowe, of Tavernier, such is not the case. He contends, and it is difficult to de- termine from his letter just what he means, Corner Ann Streets ne + Only Dally > per in Key West and County etered at Key West, Florida, as second class matter " THE ASSOCIATED PRE: is exclusively e Hl news dispatche: c edited in this paper and ae Che lock) news publithed here. ee me Year se e | that should the proposal become a law, as ira: Mont : it likely will, that “all that will be ne¢es- aan sary for a resident of Key West who wants ER @ RATES to run for commissioner from the fifth dis- Bote Beogs 6B soriication trict is to have his name transferred to one of the precincts on the keys, and claim to 5 5 cE on og ge thanks, resolutions poems, ete. will be cents a line. ehurches from 5 cents a line. invites dis of local or ¢ publish anonymous is elected, whether we want him or not.” Seemingly, Mr. Lowe did not read statements that Representative Bernie C. Papy had made in The Citizen that a can- lidate who runs in any district must be a esident of that district. Incidentally, Mr. -apy introduced the bill, providing for as- virants for the Democratic nominations for ommissioners to run at large, on Friday, MPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST | and a provision of the bill says explicitly ADVOCATED BY THE CI | that one “must” be such a resident before be naa ij he can qualify in any district. No Key Wester, as Supervisor John England, we are confident, will inform Mr. Lowe, can have his “name transferred to one of the precincts on the keys and claim | tobe a resident’ of that section of Monroe -Qunty. The only Way he can run from that | part of the county is to become a bona fide esident, and the same requirement, under Mr. Papy’s bill, applies to every other dis- trict in‘ Monroe. Further, Mr. Lowe declares, “there ent below year, de- Ee * is _ | have been people voting on the keys that aus War Mobilizer James F. | live ir Miami, Homestead and Key West; fivrnes, who points out that the demand for they arrive on election day and sometimes vod wijl be greater leave immediately after voting.” Some of the increased demand will If that charge is so, then the men to me from families with larger incomes, | blame for that condition are the election due to the inflationary effects of war spend- | inspectors on the keys.

The writers should be fair and confine the letters to 300 words, and write on one side of the paper only. Signature of the writers must accompany the letters and will be published an- Jens requested otherwise. ABOUT NEGRO BEACH Editor, The Citizen: The matter ‘of the negro beach is of vital importance to our col- ored citizens of Key West. Dur- ing the last regular meeting of the council there was consider- able debate by Bobby Lewis and |myself over a proposed resolu- tion to be sent to the Monroe County Commissioners that a Issue for the negro beach. Mr. Grillon, who reports the counci] news, saw fit as he does jon many occasions, made no note of the fact that this motion was debated, and carried by the Council for the County Commis- sioners. There was a delegation of negro leaders present at the meeting, and their spol{esman emphasized the; fact.,that ‘the Council would hear from! 4 colored, citizens if. they. “Ww ignored.

She her head suddenly and looked up’ at him. “Say you want me to go, Hugh, dearest,” she pleaded: im- pulsively.'“Say you're willing for me to go.” ee Hs face was white and set, his eves already lonely. “I can't, sweet. I can’t say it without lying—-and_I can’t ever lie to you!” he told her flatly. “But I can say that I understand why you have to go and that I want you to do- what you you have to do.” She smiled at him through quick tears. “I guess that’s as ood as I have a right to ask! Til come back as soon as I can—I promise.” He kissed her again and held her closely, and there was no further need for words. In the morning, she packed swiftly. Summer clothes, a dress or two, but mostly hospital whites, because she would have little need for anything else. “See you at lunch, dearest,” he said as he stopped the car jin front of pt neat _yhite, building that still wore its twin signs, Jonathan Blake, M.D, and.

There was an instant of-silence and‘she saw the color leave his jaw leap into greater prominence and his eyes grow wary. “Ybdu_ mean I’m not—okay?” he demanded. him calmly. Again Jerry was still for a mo- ment. Then he demanded de‘i- antly, “Okay—what’s wrong with me? I feel fine!” Quietly, choosing her words carefully, she toli him. As he listened, the fear and wariness vanished from his eyes, swal- lowed up by a dawning anger that, when she had finished, burst instantly into savage words, “Oh, so that’s it?
