The light of kindly and} sometimes roughhouse publicity brings things out in a clear, healthful manner. It promotes things. That which cannot bear the light of publicity will wither of itself or shrink back into tne darkness. ° e LIONS OUTSTANDING CLUB Remember when the Lions club was first organized. At first everything seemed to be happen- img at once and going on in all directions. Then suddenly the big project came through. The club- house was completely .paid for, and the members had a home. This club I will unequivocally elaim as the widest awake in the| city. This is not to say that other! clubs are not doing good work! but the Lions have the youthful enthusiasm, the solid support, which makes them go places. They are doing things. They are building a lively Key West. Where the Lions as a whole represent the small businessman, the Rotary Club represents the businessmen of the city who have larger interests. When in- terésts beedime large’ there is a tendénty' to’'slow ‘down. The Rotary Clb fits ‘gone ahead slowly and ‘has fade some fine] big steps but because of the principles of Rotary no great steps have been takeh as a club. Individuatly, much has been ac-! complished. The Yacht Club as' Charles Taylor defines it is the came group “with their hair down”. Charles says it is the most unique group he has ever seen. Yet to these men come some of the greatest decisions in the city, There is a great respon- sibility resting with them. To former members have come the question of the Overseas High- way, of major real estate devel- opment here, of Florida booms for Key West, water pipe lines and military installations. There are decisions before us now It's no place for a cheechako, dier civilians who know the way: country will be permitted to travel the war-born road through The Canadian arrhy'‘takes over the road April 1 but Defense mountains and muskeg.

The air force also is involved with its staking route and landlines.” Not Yet’ Self/Sufficient There is little along the high- way to'contribute toward making it self-sufficient. Most of the sup- plies trucked over the road after its completion in November, 1942, served to service the road and its} lirnited facilities themselves. No figures are available as to what percentage of freight was used to} maintain the road, and what per- centage went “through” to fe-d the Alaska wat machine—origi- nal purpose of the highway. the spring of 1942, temperatures still and whi were flirting with zero the first engineer troops i detrained at the Dawson Creek | railhead 500 miles northwest of} here in the rolling hills of eastern | The railroad British Columbia. | Amer: icans piled in with thir } = panto lL Williamson Says Santa Rosa.

Sow- der, ‘state health officer points out ‘that the Unit is operated as part of a state program for pre ventive medicine. ! Drs Sowdér@states: “The State! Board of Health is not avthorized to carry on medical care pro-! grams, nor are its affiliated county Health Units. It is true’ that our county health der ments do hold clinics on the iag-| nosis and treatment of veneral disease, and for maternal and in-| fant clinics. from the deep. He told of tne four unsuccessful attempts in| 1941 and of abandoning activities during the war. He said the pres- | emt bid for the gold began .ix| weeks ago. Williamson's part of the pro | gram opened with the re-enaci- ment of the famous curse the Az-| tee chieftain placed on Cortez’| hip and its cargo after the Spaniard stole the gold from him! in Mexico in the 1500's. { Williamson appeared on ‘ie! program through the courtesy of | MGM, whieh has had Pphotograh- | ers with the expedition from 113; imeception weeks ago. i Pear of the Aztec curse caused Williamson a lot of trouble in as- sembling his present crew, he re- lated on the program. Firemen Go To Tampa Meeting A group of Key West firemen, headed by Fire Chief Leroy Tor- res, left yesterday afternoon at xk in Chief Torres’ car for | where they will attend a! nvention to be held I { | | en “As our tuberculosis program expands, it is likely that there will be clinics for the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis treatment. We do not have appro- tions for general medical treatment and could not have appropriations for general medi- cal treatment and could not very well undertake it with our pres- ent budgets.” The letter from Ruby Morgan had stated that at a recent meet- ing of the Monroe County Child Welfare Council a discussion was held ‘relative to the availability of clinical medical treatment for the underprivileged in'Key West and that the member's will not clearly understand the functions of the health unit and the treat- ment available. Dr. Parramore further clarified the question by stating that the problem was one of public health and prevention, even regardless of indigent classification or not. Thus on the general lines of ven- in that city within the next few davs. Those besides Chief Torres who made the trio were Earl In- graham, Leroy Roberts, Geor Albury and Buster Cerezo.
