Since all political releases are paid matter in newspapers, this can- not be released under the name of the candidate, but the ideas are good. Here are some: Key West's future fame will depend to a great extent on its ability to attract tourists the year round. Attracting these tourists to the Keys depends not only on an ad- vertising campaign but also upon solving the problems of providing interesting entertainment, health- Fe cae tie, * SVE CV ECT VETER |; CORAL ROCKETS | By L.

Usual- ly this type of man is found whis- pering things ‘instead of standing {out boldly and courageously for it. - ° |SMART POLITICIANS Key Westers are very smart po- jlitically. Many persons overlook {that point. Key Westers will vote |for you if you are for the majority of them. They quickly find you jout when you are not. There have been many attempts to jchange the voting mind of the electorate here but I have never ‘seen this accomplished. When! you come to the people seeking a i ful recreation, excellent food and/job you must come with hands comfortable living conditions aft-'Clean and with honest work for er they arrive. Key West has the majority here. If you are fishing unexcelled by any other Working for one faction your work place in the country. But not iS soon known and spread far and ail people go fishing or boating. ;Wide by Key West's famous grape- 1946 will also be discussed, Danny Lastres To Start Again At Short For Tampa Smokers The Tampa Smokers under Vinee Granell, has officially an- nounced their opening line-up for Wednesday at Plant Field against West Paim Beach. It will be like | thin, and it will be broadcasted! te all the fans in this area, Benny Permandez will be at first. He ylayed wtih Portsmouth last year ond in the Cuban Winter League. jeorge Bucei will be at second. He i « rookie. Ray Rodriguez at the het corner and he is a pro- uct of tht Tampa sand lots. At short Danny Lastres, a Key West tay who has a great future in teseball, good arm, legs and a} feed eyesight. What else does a, goed player need. Jack Weatley jonville boy and has played s B ball. Guy Bagli, Dom. Maggio are the other two to start in the gardens. Pete Shiro or Johnny Ippelitto will be the catcher, and Manny Lopez, C. Johnson, Chas. Covington and Max Pressman are the four lead- ing pitchers so far. Two brother Robert and Lamar Murphy, have been added to the club and both have good records. The six man- agers in the circuit are Granell of Tampa, Paul Waner of Miami, Max Rosenfelt of Miami Beach, Harry Hughes of West Palm Beach and Oscar Rodriguez of Habana. Herb Thomas is tem- porarily in charge at West Palm You can’t dump a tourist out on Duval Street and say: “Here it is, take it or leave it.” The art- icle goes on to say that what Key West should plan for principally is its oceanfront park and bath- |ing beach. | e . LIAISON WORK T have been inquirirg around as to the eventual possikility of liai- son committees from various or- ganizations meeting with the Chamber of Commerce at Board of Directors’ meetings and thus giving the Chamber a more repr sentative vote of all the busines men and businesswomen of the ty. I also inquired as to pos- sible consolidations but the mem- bers of the business associations do not seem to favor this plan. They seem to think that they have good going organizations and that they can do a lot for the city independently. One of the big kicks against the Chamber is that it does not have a full time trained in vine. This grapevine, which is said to be faster than wireless, spreads far and wide everything known about political dealings. zk * EVERYTHING KNOWN \ A true adage is that everything you say bad about another fellow eventually comes: to his ears in Key West. Politically, you cannot | deceive if the votes of the people |are free and untrammeled. A man can make a speech and say many things and then quickly the do- ings of his own life are rehashed and what he has actually done. The picture, thus compared with the speech, is sometimes ironical. ;On the newspaper we hear many |Tumors and every rumor has some little spark of truth. We must ,;run down these rumors and dis- sipate many of the more import- ant appearing ones. But every rumor we run down we learn some important fact at the other end.

At the same time the type of advertising and the {location of the advertising can be determined. These liaison com- |mittees from the various organi- zations of the city appear to my way of thinking to be the best ef- jfort to get concerted, complete action, for the present. Appir- ently, the desire is to keep a number of busine: working for the city. These son committees can feed ideas in- to the central Chamber of Com- merce. Of course, all these ideas are tentative and may conflict with by laws of the various or- ganizations. S organizations ° ° CITY JUDGE Prediction tor city judge will be Enrique Esquinaldo, Jr. e ° HURT MORE THAN HELP Once a person becomes a po- litical outcast whatever he says can hurt a person more than it can help. I understand that re ommendation for a certain party for judge was made by an out- cast. That recommendation fin- ished up whatever doubt there the decision. You cannot at one time attempt to put the skids un- \der a man and then smile at him when seeking favors. e ° FITNESS OF THINGS I have a strange philosophy in life. Something inside me makes me fight for things I want. How- ever, I do not believe that an: {matters in a question which is jquite unselfish, something ri gs jtrue inside you. There is- no thought inside one that perhaps this is wrong. But if there is a one-sided plan in one’s mind, then one’s talk does not make sense. To say things you do not mean is always disconcerting to on self.
