With these examples in mind, we wall attention to the bill introduced by Senator J. William Fulbright, of Arkansas, whieh provides roughly that some of our srplas war material, scattered all the world, be sold to foreign coun- es with the idea that the nations, un- te pay as in current funds, might an endowment which would regular exchange visits between now ver support tudents and citizens,.of the two couns ry tries The other bill, introduced by Repre- Sel Bloom, of New York, sentative is haved upon the aeute shortage of dollar | exehange, which now threatens to pre- vent foreign students from coming to this country. Mr. Bloom would extend facilities for exchanging dollars, students and teeh- #icians along the line of those now in ap- eration in regard to Latin America and to China When somebody offers advice the Jivet test is whether he, or she, has a sel- ich interest in your reaction. albte by i! Att ny yearS) fityAll SOMETHING OF A BOOM Tolls on the Overseas Highway bridges continue to show large advances over the collections in similar months of the immediately preceding year. i And the story that the increases tell is that more people are coming to Key West, and that the traffic on the road is greater now than during any other time, excepting one month at the height of the war. ; Passengers who used _, the. bridges last, month, were in excess of 50,000, and the' gain in ‘tolls over March of 1945 was more than $16,000. * “Good,” is the. answer. of Key West business men when they are asked how is business, and the increases in collection of tolls is one reason why business con- tinues good in Key Wet. What the city needs more than any- thing else at present is for its advantages to become known to the largest possible number of residents of elsewhere in Flor- ida or in other states. They come, they see, and are pleased, and in many cases, because of their satisfaction, they invest’ here or re- side here, in some instances for several months. There are a few cases where visitors have become residents, and that condition is likely te occur more frequent, tly in the days to:come, E23 ‘southerly: | ad the wont Can aa LD Several other keys in the velopment before. — Is it too much to say that the Florida Keys are now experiencing something of a boom? ‘ig! mores pronouneéd’ thant) ever Experience is wisdom late in arriving but good for future benefits.

He thinks that not only Monroe and Dade counties, but the entire state would benefit through in- creased revenue from new capital brought into the state as a result of the gasoline taxes and expenditures of the thousands who will visit the park, and while Hol- land did not state so, further benefits will derive from the thousands who have never visited Florida enamored of its charms and remain perm- anently. | ../CLQTHES FOR VETERANS iad a ELOY from Weidlinites, says ‘iad ent has called upon \re= tail merchants to reserve sufficient’ ‘qéth- ing to supply veterans, even if it takés one hundred per cent of their stocks. « We thoroughly applaud the purpose of the Civilian Production Administra- tion’s suggestion but we are not inclined to approve the method adopted. There is a serious shortage of clothes and the re- turning veterans are finding it difficult to secure what they need. In fairness the veterans are entitled to preference and it should not be based upon a suggestion or depend upon the voluntary action of re- tailers. There have been many instances in Monroe county where retailers have taken it upon themselves to give prefer- ence to supplying the reasonable wants of veterans. We have heard of numerous ex- | amples to this effect, which is commend- (jabl, we think, to the retailers. At the same time there may bé many: ex-service men who have not been the beneficiaries of such thoughtful consideration. | If service men come home from war, after fighting for their country, they are entitled to a break. Certainly, they should be permitted to buy clothes, even if civil- ians have to wear what they have for a | year, or more. The government should promptly ration clothing sales, if neces- sary, to assure that the returning veter- ans get what they require and the process should not depend upon the whim of indi- viduals, whether retailers or civilian cus- i tomers, and who | will become | TT ey; lean length f: Rush cat after walking a block. fr apartment.

Now examine the facilities at present available to accommo- date these new tourists. Are there sufficient gas stations, auto-mechanic shops, tire shops, luncheon and snack bars, camp, ete., along the keys and in Key West? I don’t think so, Souve- nirs made of shells and other sea life should realize a tidy ‘profit to the vendor if strategic- wally placed. There are services, wot now provided, that ‘would ke eagerly paid for. by the tour sts. ‘Progtam of the fishing sport at ‘Key West will induce many tout- ists and their families to remain at Key West. Babies have to have their diapers cleaned. Dia- per cleaning establishments are booming in other parts of the country. Live bait is always a problem td the fishermen, and small boats and outboards are not now readily aecessible for U-drive hire to fishermen. Any intelligent veteran can sit down j for a night and surely reason out something.
