WATCH ’EM West Summerland Key Boy Scout camp, when’ it is completed, “will be the best in the nation,” says Seoutmaster Ern- est Avila. The assertion is “quite a mouthful,” yet for boys, who-like fishing, swimming and boating, it is probably true. Only one thing is needed to make a “camp” of afty kind on the Florida Keys “the best in the nation,” and that thing is the elimination of mosquitoes, Attaining that end now is not the task it used to be. With DDT, a proven killer of mosquitoes, ridding the keys of these pests is now comparatively easy. The quickness and the efficacy with which DDT works in dealing death blows to mosquitoes was illustrated a few days ago in Key West. Residents all over the city complained about the pests, and spray- ing the city with DDT by an airplane knocked out~ mosquitoes within a few hours. Residents who were driven from their verandas one night by mosquitoes were able, the next night, to sit on vergn- das without undergoing the annoyance of buzzing and biting. What DDT has done for Key West, Stock Island and Boca Chica can be done for other keys in the Florida chain. Fishing lodges, casinos and pavilions on the keys may not be the most enjoy- able in the country in the summertime, but they will attain that eminence when north winds begin to blow and Jack Frest rides on the winds. What-is more pleasant, in the winter, than being in a position te go for a swim when you wish, or jump into a boat in your shirt sleeves and go fishing and be reasonably sure of catching fish? Again The Citizen repeats, “Watch the keys grow!” tered at Key West, Florida, as sceond class matter PRESS | | =| To Whom It May Concern: Some people seem not to know the difference between a lie and a misstate- ment. A lie is a statement, written or oral, which is made for the purpose of deception, A false statement is not a lie if the intention to deceive is not pre- mediatated. Banks still are making money, and some are raking it in. There is the San Francisco Bank which has just declared oe annual dividend of $660.00 a shore on ,200 shares of ($1.000) par common out- ea FIGHT FOR AIR FREIGHT THE ORACLE. It may come as a surprise to some in- dividuals who have not appreciated the rapid development that there is something of a fight going on for air cargo business. *The established scheduled airlines have become concerned about the development of independent freight-carriers, who fly ‘anything anywhere. Non-scheduled opera- tions. hegan to pay attention to.the cargo loads when many veterans began to op- erate. Statistics indicate that the non- scheduled freight carriers are flying about 10,000,000 ton-miles per month and sched- uled airlines, which want y to increase their freight and express cargoes, are after the business. The companies which fly regular routes on schedule have asked the Civil Aeronautics Board to permit a rate reduc- tion from 26.5 cents a ton-mile to twenty cents. The non-scheduled group will have to meet the competition and a fight for existence in the air-freight business is fore- seen. It will probably surprise many people te know that for many. cargoes the rate for non-scheduled flights is from fifteen to eighteen cents for hauling one ton of wares one mile. Hi URGES WAR ON MONOPOLIES The Joint Congressional Economic Committee was surprised the other day to hear that Pau! Huffman, chairman of the Committee on Economic Development and President of the Studebaker Corporation, assert that the government should ageume the “responsibility for breaking monopol- totic barriers to the entry and growth of small business.” The Committee had hear representa- tives of business urge the reduction of gov- ernment spending, the fowering of taxes and an insistent clamor for the “return of a free economy.” By “free economy,” there are too many big business men who want a free hand to stifle competition, enter into. price-fixing agreements and otherwise acquire a monopolistic control of industry. That these methods tend to prevent emall businesses from growing, ' thus limiting the opportunity of sma!l i business men, is apparent to anyone who is fomiliar with the economic picture in this country. Mr. Huffman deplored monopoly by either industry or government, but he ad- mitted that if he had to choose between the two, he would prefer government mon- opoly. Thig is rank heresy in the higher ranks of business men and financiers, but it is good gommon sense. IT MIGHT BE SO; In a talk before the Merchants Asso- ciation at New Smyrna Beach last week, Representative Tom Cobb , of Volusia stated that the tax bills passed by the re- cent legislature are sufficient to take care of the anticipated needs. A SURPLUS AT LAST The wise Chamber of Commerce of the United States stil] insists that “business needs for tax relief are heightened by signe of trends for recessions.’ And a lot of the “géod guessers” from one of the newspapers of Washington, are thinking the same way. The big question is, “Where is the money coming from,” while we con- tinue spending and lending American dol- lare all over the world? After sixteen years of continuous de ficits, the government will have a balance of aliont $1,000,000,000 for the fiscal year whieh has just ended. (This is not a great amount in view of the mounting demands upon government, But it is a welcome change from the large Aeticits which have been piled up for more than a decade. It is interesting to note that the result roughly meets the revised Budget Bu- reau’s estimate of last April, but falls far short of the optimistic expectations of Some members of Congress when they were pushing the tax reduction bill. It is also interesting to note :thet the national debt has been reduced by about twelve billion dollars in the past twelve months. However, it should be noted that this was accomplished almost entirely by the use of the Treasury’s working balance. During the war years, this‘ was maintained at a high level. The establicthment of a National lot tery, which The Cftizen has been advocat- ing for a quarter of a century, may get spring inte being. A recent poll conducted by the Elks Magazine on the question di- vulged that of the 1,098 exalted rulers, 72 per cent approved the lottery, 21 par cent did not approve, and 2 per cent had no apinion. The question was addressed te the 1,450 local exalted rulers in every lodge in the country, and these, represent approximately 1,000,000 living members of the B. P.O. E. Heinle THE KEY WEST CITIZEN.
