He said: “Key West’s biggest prop- visitor is ‘still largely unde- veloped. This huge natural resource is your keys, and from your point of view, of course, the keys closest to Key West are the ones to talk about. fore some winter looks around Stock Island, Boca Chica and Big Coppitt keys and decides he'll do the same thing down here. (Sim- ilar to what was done at Miami Beach). Then you'll get real estate development that may. rival the boom of 1925;) without, I hope, \any ysad aftermath as we all re- ‘member too well.” With'a frost-free climate, and the ‘best fishing along States, the keys have “what it takes” to appeal to visitors \in Florida. Many of those become resi- dents and will learn that the | climate of the keys, swept | cloudy with little change in tem- | | by breezes from the sea, re- | gardless of | the compass the wind comes what point of from, in the summer is more pleasant than in large north- ern cities with high tem- | perature and depressing hu- | midity.

We commend the cam- paign to the people of the United States because of the record made by the Greeks in resisting the Axis powers. The price paid was terrific and the aftermath proved serious. | A resident of Greece says that the country has a mil- lion and a_ half homeless men, women and children; 375,000 war orphans, living in ‘over-crowded and ill-sup- ported. orphanages or aban- doned “hospitals; 2,000,000 undernourished children whose growth: has been stunted and are substantial- ly. underweight, two and a half million persons suffer- ing from tuberculosis and chronic malaria. While nearly everybody in the country has heard of the suffering of various dis- placed persons in Europe, not all of us are entirely con- scious of the situation in Greece. The $12,000,000 sought is a modest request for assistance in view of the extreme and urgent need. You can help yourself to safety by obeying traffic regulations without waiting for a speed-cop to catch you. Red Cross is an alert ‘and able organization. *Key* West’ has a good chapter. It lives from year to year on a budg’t super-| vised by leading, conscien- tious citizens. All honor to them. All Key West for its continued good work in 1947.
