With breakwaters, or no breakwaters, the surge, with resultant undertow, caused by a heavy wind off shore would wipe out the beach, County commissioners, The Citizen feels confident, in having the beach con- structed, do not want to take the chance of building a beach and then having it washed away. The advice given them by the engineers, R. D. Spalding and Asso- ciates, is sound and should be followed by the commis- sioners. The engineers point out: “Breakwaters are requir- ed at both Martello and the Boulevard. Stock Island is protected naturally against periodic storms and heavy there, 72 years ago, William L.

West’s back door compared to the distances residents of many resorts have to travel to beaches. In some parts of Miami, residents have to drive 10 times as far to Mi- ami Beach as Key Westers DEVASTATION IN THE FAR EAST Reconstruction of the Far East is a matter of concern to the entire world, declares Assistant *Secretary-General | A. V. K-Bowen of the Unit=; ed Nations. ©. | A detailed picture of de- vastation in the region in- cluded a country-by-country analysis, with China leading | the list. Some 9,000,000 Chi- nese were killed in the war and untold millions, in addi- tion, were wounded or starv- ed to death. The nation lost 90 per cent of machine and light metal plants, 70 per; cent of coal, electric power, iron and steel plants, and 80 per cent of shipping and bridges. While the Japanese caus- ed some damage to Indo- China, this has been “im-) measurably” greater during the internal strife that fol- lowed. Papua and New Guinea presented a picture of complete devastation, with every town and settle- “ment destroyed, every pub- tie necessity, including small -.ships for commerce, wiped ~ out. : In The Netherlands Indies, tremendous loss of power is emphasized. It is said that Java, alone lost three mil- ~ lion natives killed by the Japanese, with one million slaughtered in the outer islands. » It appears that the abor- tive effort of the Japanese to establish the co-prosper- ity sphere carried a tremen- dous cost which has been paid, in part, by the devas- tation and loss of life re- ported. Heart disease is a great killer; it even slays those who have no heart. Imagine the Veterans Ad- would have to drive to Stock Island. _.O€ gourse, there are some reget are situated on beaches, but where such is residents or not the case tourists don’t consider them-| Lovisr inconvenienced when ish to go swimming. Illy, read this) con- St ‘clusion of the engineers in favoring a beach at Stock Island: “While the dollar value can not reasonably be esti- mated, the attractive devel- opment of the plaza formed at the intersection of the old and the new roads on Stock Island, as an_ entrance to the public golf course and public bathing beach, would most certainly produce a fa- vorable impression upon newcomers to Key West.” Every reference to Stock Island by the engineers is expert advice, good and sound. The human race would make faster progress _.if there were not so.many peo- ple ready to think one thing and say another, ‘fy Don’t forget the oppor- tunity to contribute to the support of the American Red Cross—a great organization, doing a great work and serv- ing a great people. UP TO SOLOMON One day last week, we read the story of the acci dental killing of a boy of si teen years of age by another boy while "shooting tar- gets”” in the woods. Such accidents lead to much preachment about the care- lessness of children, but, be- fore condemning youth in general, we might take a look at the record of adults. By coincidence, same day, we ran across the story of a man _ burned to ministration having to per- suade ex-service men _ to keep up their low-cost insur- ance. There are fads in adver- tising, just like in everything else, but money spent for ~ publicity in The Citizen con- tinues to “results. get unusual re- death after throwing kero- sene into*the kitchen stove. The explosion and fire which followed virtually demolish- ed the home and badly burn- ed another inmate of the house. It would take a Solo- mon to determine whether the carelessness of the man or that of the youngster was the more detrimental.
