Ellingson, City Manager, Key West, Florida. a | A WISE INVESTMENT wv” The Citizen believes that} the purchase yesterday by| City Commissioners of the Sweeney property at the foot of Duval street was a wise and timely investment. | Tt was wise because there| is a very limited amount of) land suitable for beach pur-| poses left on this island, and it was timely because} private individuals have for! some time been trying to get! control of it. Indeed, we un-' derstand that one interested party offered the Sweeneys $1,000 more for the prop-. erty than the city paid, or; $38,000, but that they chose to accept the lesser price as a public gesture. “Now Key West has in its! ~ possession one of the things) it. has long needed—a pub-| thing is for us to keep the Representative John E. Rankin of Mississippi has been prodded on a good many occasons in his tiffs | sometimes squealed like a} stuck pig. His fulminations evoked snickers instead’ of resentment. But whatever Rankin has said, in or out of the realm of the ridiculous, The Citi- zen agrees with him whole- heartedly in his contention that the United States re- tain the secret of the atomic bomb. Whether or not his as- certion that if Russia had the secret about the way to produce the bomb she would wage war against the Unit- ed States is true or not, is be- side the question. The big secret for our own protec- tion. Why disclose the pro- cesses in the manufacture of the bomb to a committee of the United Nations or any other committee? As- suming that that procedure were followed, what would happen if a member of the committee resented hotly something the United States had done? Chances are he would walk out of the com- mittee; as the Russian Am- bassador Gromyko walked out of meetings of the UN Security Council when some- thing he opposed came up for consideration. And then what would happen, parti- cularly were he a Russian? Human nature is such that one, seeking vengeance, frequently forgets his pledge and is concerned only in striking at the object of his vengeance. Man has not reached that stage of probity where it would be safe to entrust to him a secret of such magnitude as is the production of the atomic bomb. The United States is not an aggressor nation; it wants nothing that belongs to some other country. In view of that fact, let it keep with Walter Winchell and|3 | FOR OUR OWN SECURITY (° IOP IO OLDS, Sears Allots 79% For Newspaper Ads And © For Radie Sears, Roebuck & Co. con- timues to place 79% of its { jets | i advertising appropriation in newspapers, having spent Radio was alloted 3%. | The continued policy of concentrating more than three-fourths of its advertis- ing dollar in newspapers is | based on the effectiveness of that medium. and so de- termined after thorough re- searches over many years’ trial. i IF ILIISaI SID Key West In™ren” Days Gone By 2,25, OF SEPTEMBER 12, 1936 : 1 County commissioners, at a} meeting last night, reached an} agreement with the R.

Mrs. Gladys Roberts received | a telegram yesterday advising her of her appointment as super- visor of the State Welfare work in Monroe county. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN © Si2aS Editor, The Citizen: Travelers on the Overseas Highway have come to look on; the little stone schoolhouse at Rock Harbor as_one of the way- marks, and now that it has be-| come a church it is even more} eloquent of the sturdy, pioneer- ing spirit of the dwellers on the} Flerida Keys. | Established’ in 1924, it served Rock Harbor as a Community center, schoolhouse and meeting place for worship until it was dis- continued as a school, when the “school bus” tion, about four years ago. It was offered for sale at $2,- 000, and about 20 neighbors who | felt that no American commun- ity was too small to maintain a place of worship and a Sunday School for its children, demon- strated their capacity for coopera- tion by raising the money. A neighbor gave his services to make some required interior | alterations and another neighbor, learning that an ex-movie palace had some seats for sale, bought them for the church. Now, the final step is the ac- quiring of some paint, an article! in the use of which every key! dweller is, by virtue of the fact 7! County commissioners last night, for the second successive time, considered the budget for; the coming fiscal year without that he is also a boatman, an ac- | knowledged expert. | The treasurer is W.

The name is KYMS, which spell- ed out, means “Keep Your Mouth Shut.” It’s quite a trick if it can be done, keep- ing your mouth shut while eating. ON FREEDOM Our edifice of liberty is supported by a tripod of representative constitutional government, civil and relig- ious freedom, and the right of every individual to as much as he can earn by hon- est toil and effort—through lie _municipal beach and playground that it can be proud of. It is true that the beach isn’t much to look at; just at present, but when the money is available, per- haps within two or three years, officials hope to build bath houses - and pavilions there. Moreover, a program of beautifying the beach will be carried out, we are told, and when the whole project is completed it will be one of the most attrac- . tive bathing beaches in the “country. Even before money is | available for extensive im- provements at City Manager O. J. S. Ell- “ingson tells us that he hopes to accomplish several, minor improvements, such as keep- ing the beach clean and free from debris and perhaps in- stalling a shuffleboard court. | The purchase of South} Beach, coming as it does on the heels of the city acquir- ing control of the East Mar- tello Tower military reser- vation for an airport and port of entry. indicates that the folks in City Hall are on their toes these days. The Citizen may not agree with everything done by City Hall, but on com- pletion of these two impor- tant projects it offers its congratulations to the of- ficials responsible for them. the beach; private competitive busi- ness. Destroy any leg of this tripod and you destroy per- sonal freedom. If there is anything the history of man’s struggle for liberty proves, it is thai to enjoy the blessings of political, intellectual and religious liberty he must as- sume a very large portion of the responsibility for his own economic well-being. If he places the burden on the shoulders of govern- ment, he will soon find that he has reared a_ political control is literally insatiable and which sooner or later will devour all his freedom | in the process of expanding its power. | Storm clouds on the inter- national horizon increase the public’s esteem ef the “brass hats.” H. Stuart Morrison, former West Citizen, has been do- ing a bang-up job reporting on political and economic conditions in Mexico and other Latin American caun- tries.
