FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1 KEEP OUR FISHING 1 Here’s something which has | been in mind for a long time and|{ which I have not fully made up; my mind about yet but upon; which I feel certain points strong-} | ly right now. That is the ques | tion of the Everglades State} Park, which is being pushed ac-| tively by a Miami group. Thu3! far, this group has not accom-j plished much in the park and as far as I know has interviewed in-} ested parties down on the Keys to a minimum. I do not believe} that the Park should be extended | down to the limits of Lower Mate- cumbe as has been proposed sev- eral times, and edicts issue against no fishing in the ar There is very great fishing ac- tivity in the area, including the section around Sandy Key, where the tasty pompano, considered | tne country’s best food fish, is caught. Another point is, thej sponging which goes on intermit-| tently up in those areas. There | is fishing-up and down the Keys! and to forbid Key Westers, whol have been associated with fishing since most of us were knee-high to a grunt, is something which makes most of us rise up. te e ° PARK FAIRYLAND NOW Regarding the if this area is made into a par with tons of fish. swarming near the shores and thousands of birds, clouding t ky “and great way is set up in the Ever and om the Keys, I cannot see_it. The trip along the keys! an@;through the bay islands 1s|; most beautiful now, with the myriad fish and with the many colorful birds which fly down the lagoon’s green streets through the islands’ hearts. You can take your canoe or outboard motor and ride by places which are just about a fairyland right now. Com- mercial fishermen have not eve1 begun to touch these huge re- sources, and, as a matter of fact, add to.the color of the scene whe! you run upon them up in the Harbor Keys or in Big Spanish Channel or along Sandy Key n Cape Sable. Thus, the pla fairyland at present. There is no need for government protection of fish life right now. As far as bird life goes, the birds are pro- tected by the Audubon Society. and State Fish and Game Com mission, which has made the Boy aréa’a bird refuge with plentiful signs tacked up on all:the gnarled mangroves. ° e EVERYTHING NOW! What else would the govern ment put up? Cabins? Grassy areas? Comfort stations? Guided tours? Cabins have sprung ‘up all along the keys, quite nice places by the murmuring white beach sands nestled under tail coconut trees, all of Caribbean jife. More of these beautifu! camps, with their varnish and bright color inside and raw na- ire outside, are planned as soon building materials are mad? ilable. Grassy park areas are around these camps right now As far as guided tours go, the county has guides along these keys with their own boats, migh- ty nice ones, too, with each guide most experienced in his work. In that guide’s mind, as you men tion various places, there flashes nto his head the big jewfish un- jer.acertain bank, the shallow mud-bank to be avoided at a ce=- tain turn,’ the dropping of a tide which_leaves too.shallow a cer- tain channel, where there:are ‘a= chofages and no mosquitoes, dao- gers of the isl and the beaut All this is‘@t your beck ard call and you will find the Key islanders the most friendly guides you were ever with, most anxious to please, and with conducted with ease of years of knowledge ° SOBER THOUGHT Just before the last war I wa one of those who scoffed at the thought of another war staring. Germany is too weak as confront ed by England, America and France, I argued. Besides, the correspondents all say that she hasn't enough oil to run a war!$ three months.

The first I re area. When this new developme! comes: in, and, providing it is private, it will be interesting to compare it with the Housing Project lines, a few blocks behicd and then.ithe true worth of in- dividual American enterprise wili stand out clearly. The limits of American individualism is, of course, when there is no invest- ment money in sight. and yet there is a housing need. That is the logical place for the govern- ment to step in with Housing Projects, Chief Of Forest Service Dismissed TALLAHASSEE, (FNS).—Pub- lic Relations Chief William F. Jacobs of the State Forest Serv- ice was dismissed last Saturday for “lack of cooperation and in- subordination”, State Forester C Huxley Coulter announced. Jacobs, in a_ prepared state- ment, said he had been offered an opportunity to resign his posi- tion but “preferred, under the circumstances, to be dismissed and keep my self-respect.” He added that the dismissal “comes as no surprise.” Governor Caldwell told State Faresteh, Coulter during. a Gabi- net mm t.aecomp- lisi?_ sor SNrt wsed * his f S2 Afer alggitimate, purposes instead’ of paying “your press rps to’ maké ‘Speeches about the shortsightedness and penuri- ousness of the Budget Commis- sion”. SeeeeeeeF4Vermont As Canadian State Find Glass Jar Note Telling Of Torpedoing Fear Glass jar, containing a wa- tersoaked letter and crude map that may have been drifting in the Atlantic for three years, has just been found. The letter, dated “At Sea, North Atlantic, Jan. 17, 1943”, and the map washed’ up on Jupiter Beach at West Palm Beach early this week The short, terse. letter gives an inkling of the torment and , fear that, filled, the, minds, of the men who risked or gay? ~ their lives to sail convoys through the U-boat-infested North Atlantic. Without giving the ship's name or last names of the writers, the letter was ad- dressed to William Thurberg, 7 Chester Ave. Chelsea. Mass. It read: “Dear Bill: Just a farewell note to say ‘so long’. The subs are giving us hell again to- night and I know we won't come through . . . Christ, there’s another ship hit. If we don’t see you it was nice knowing you. Geo. and Jim.” The letter and map were found by a winter visitor at West Palm Beach. The map showed Iceland and Green- land, a line that probably in- dicated thé course of the ship and a cross that probably marked the spot where the ship was at the time the jar was’ thrown overboard. Two 2%-eéent' British postage’ stamps were in the letter. FPP MIMI LM LI LIS.
