A BETTER KEY WEST Editor, The Citizen: Sometime ago, I had the opror- tunity to visit several towns in Florida’s west and east coasts. During this time I spent every minute I could, reading, looking, talking and listening, on the subject of city and county gov-! ernments, and the civic spirit of the citizens. Most of these towns are cleaning house. Better gov- ernments are being formed and improvements made to present governments. The people are awake, on the alert for every civic gain they can make. They not only talk of it, but embrace the opportunities as they are resented, They realize that they will be the ones to share the dividends. It’s a bitter thing to say, but on returning home I was depress ed. By comrarison to other towns | in the Pacific. We are too com- ;Placent. We need a big shot in the arm as far as civic and gov- ernment affairs are concerned, and the sooner we receive these shots the faster this community will progr I know that some folks have an answer to this article, and that is, “If I don’t like Key West, wigy don’t I move.” Well I have a reply also. I really don’t want to move; this is my home and I love it. I know the war has us handicapped to a certain extent, so I plan to wait two years after V-J Day. If at that time there is no definite im- provement, I am going to relocate and you will be surprised to learn the number of our citizens who tare thinking in the same channel. If a great number of taxpayers and business men make a mass movement, Key West will sim- ply fold up. Sounds unbelievable don’t it? Well don’t kid yo self, | it can’ and will come to pass, if} we don’t get out of this rut and | stupor we are in. Let’s all wake up. Let’s eat,} work, talk, and sleep Key West! | Let's have a better place to live] in! W. C.8. STRAND THEATER WALLACE BEERY in “THIS MAN’S NAVY” Coming: “Lifeboat” MONROE THEATER “MR.

Yet, do you realize that America is not even self-sufficient enough to keep that General Store running efficiently and prosperously ? For instance, its delivery truck was made in America; but 300 products, from 56 countries, went into its making. The telephone over which the orders come is American-made. But 18 of the telephone’s important materials came from out- side the country. The coffee, the tea, the sugar, the tin in the cans, the cocoa and chocolate. . . these and many more of the things the store buys and sells came from overseas, Take them away and business languishes, becomes more difficult to operate.

No country, no com- munity can build a fence and hide behind it these days. For lasting prosperity, as well as for durable peace, we must cooperate with the rest of the world. ( Truly, planes, radio, rockets, have made of this shrunken earth, one world. Cooperation means getting along even with peoples whose beliefs do not jibe with ours. It means contributing our share toward world order— toward economic order, prosperity for others, policing against disorder. It means making the effort necessary to understanding. It means every citizen must accept the responsibility of making international cooperation work, KEY WEST TRANSIT COMPANY af You can do these things: First, get and keep yourself informed about the specific proposals for peace and international cooperation which are now before us. Read and listen to the discussions of them. Ask your Publig Library, school, church for material on them, Second, interest your friends in these questions, Get them discussed in any social, labor, business, religious or other groups to which you beloag. Third, say what you think—for or against—ia writing, to your Congressman and Senators, io your newspaper. Declare yourself. Speak up. Work today for peace, that your children may live tomorrow.
