The writers think that the temptation to use them is such we may be unable to resist it, and that : CHEER So far as The Citizen can recall, press and radio in the United States began earlier this year to stress the coming of Christmas than during any other Decem- ber. . Since early last week, radio programs referred re- peatedly to Christmas, and some of them, since then, have based their plot, or so- called plot, cheer. i “As The Citizen remark- ed recently, that is an ex- cellent attitude: attempts to create goodwill among men. In Key West general talk about Christmas began more than two weeks ago. Take a walk around town: you will find Christmas cheer every- where. And you will learn, too, if you wish to inquire, that many things, including presents for grown-ups as well as toys for children, are .being sold to be kept for presentation on Christ- mas Eve or on Christmas Day. If you are at a loss to de- termine what to give for Christmas, watch the ad- vertising columns of The Citizen. You are likely to find suggestions that will lead. to your purchasing gifts. that will delight the receivers. Always, with the ap- proach of Christmas, the at- titude of children changes. Reason for the change is not far to seek; it is caused by expectancy regarding Christmas presents. But chil- dren, in the receiving of presents, are not the only ones who. are - pleased. Nothing gives greater pleas- ure to a giver than to know his gift has been appreciat- ed, whether the receiver is a child or a grown-up. We go to the Bible fre- quently for truths, and one of them is, “It is more blessed to. give than to re- cele. * 2 Fe Pythian Party Tonight The Pythian.

In the meantime winds of moderate gale proportions had come up, and the Coast Guard was unable to use small craft for rescue purposes. Small craft warning signals were run up at 9 a. m. Sunday by the Submarine Base. Large craft were not used because they could not get close enough to the Keys | and search the beaches and coves. Capt. Schaefer, however, searched for hours in a 62-foot m tof craft without success. When Durbin and Hale were brought in at 1 p.’m. today they said that they were fishing Sat- may be the motive that ac-} urday afterinoon in the Sand Key tuates them to send us the letters. Among the. latest such communications received by The Citizen was a so-called open letter to the city com- missioners. The letter was signed John Q. Public. Anybody who seems to be as positive as the writer is should not be ashamed to area. The key to the propeller came out of the craft and they were unable to propel the boat. They used fishing lines, however, to secure the propeller to the rshaft and headed toward shore. When they reached halfway be- tween the Naval Base and Sand Key they ran out of gas and an- chored at 8 p. m. Saturday. They said they intended to wait for a shift in the tide and on Christmas| sign his name to what he|come in with tne tide but instead says. Or, if he does not wish | went to sleep. When they awoke to have his name appear to] it was daybreak and they were the letter, it willbe omitted, though The Citizen must know the writer of the let- ter. But the course he took resulted: only in consigning his letter to the waste bas- ket. ven What they . want to know is a@ swing to the right is Bogor A a The greatest bé&uty and the rarest wisdom find their expression in absolute sim- plicity. ; .

They were taking on a lot of spray and the skiff was bouncing around like a cork, they said. The youths tried to improvise a sail out of an undershirt and the one oar-in the boat. They heard planes, as Navy planes had been searching since Sunday morning, but were not sighted until the ‘oi tug found them this morning. , During the 36 hours since res- cue plans were started, the plane, [taking off from Boca Chica, had searel 25 miles east and west -6f theReys for two hours. The Coast Guard and the U-Drive It Company had meanwhile check- ed all the docks and beaches. “We sure were glad to see that tug come along,” the marooned youths told the Coast guard this afternoon. “And you were pretty lucky to keep the bow of that skiff up in 20-foot waves,” replied the Coast Guardsmen. Days Gone By AS TAKEN ‘FILES OF THE c OF DEC. 20. 1936 Two yachts arrived in port | this morning, and are berthed in | the submarine basin.

He wil? be on the job long after the other is dead.” : .
