KEY WEST IS BLESSED “The longer we stay here the better I'll be pleased,” Citizen quotes President Truman saying in to a corresponcent’s question as to when the pres- ia] party intends to return to Washington. = At no place in the world is the weather satisfactory at all times, and no place in the world, still young and ad- justing itself to its global formation, despite its estimated age of two billion yeu is free from recurrent disasters of some kind. Key West has its occasional unpleasant weather, chilly or too cainy at times, and once in awhile is caught in the fringe of a hurricane. But Key West, not far from the Caribbean Sea, where many hurricanes originate, has béen fortunate ‘n escaping many a Big Blow. As the U nit- ed States Weather Bureau will attest, the center of only one hurricane has passed over this city since a branch of the bureattwas established here in 1870, and it has been still more fortunate in that, during those 81 years, only three persons have lost their lives here as a result of hur- rieanes, That 1870 hurricane attained a velocity 99 miles an hour, a hoavy wind, but far under the velocity of a good many other hurricane, Nobody lost his life and the chief danrage wes to vegetation. a ‘As to. thione chill} spells that come this way occasion- ally, one, Ahly be sure that the mercury here during those tinggi registers from 15 to 20 degress warmer than at any plgte on the mainland of Florida. =. Key West does net claim to have a perfect climate butt does clain to have the best climate in the United States. And that claim not only applies to the winter but alg to the entire year, In those 81 years the highest tem- pefitire réeorded by the Weather Bureau was during Sefitember 6 6f this : ear, when the mercury climbed to 95. That was unusual, though it may seem that, as Key West is the southernmost city in the United States, it should have the highest temperature during summer. But Key West is a Big Boat, anchored at sea, and from what- ever quarter the wind blows it comes from the sea. That efreumstance explains the reason why we have never ex- perienced the high temperature that occur every summer if some parts of the country. 5 The President, because of his 10 visits here, pyetty good idea of the kind of weather we have. He OWS, AS We Know, that, if we have chilly weather today, ig will be warm and cunshining’a day ‘orto dated, ror ajviewpoint of climate, Key West is blessed. e as re- 8} ic too of only has a The whiz who is always on the verge of making a million dollars never realizes he has to make a thousand dollars first. ’ + We would all agree that money is one of the com- modities about which we cannot say: “A little goes 2 long way.’ of that __ SLICE OF HAM _ NOT ALL disks" can be charged to imagin a me au for one of them will be shown We M i and Wednesday, December 3rd. th and Sth ur pices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, t F.

RAPID GROWTH—that’s one thing this young fellow has had in common with telephone service since his babyhood ACTUALLY, in just five years the number of local telephones Floridians can call has more than doubled. Ard this year’s ineregee in Florida telephones is expected to reach about 51 000. BEST OF ALL, this bigger, better “package” of service has gone up on the average jess than a fourth as much as prices in general and less than our cost of providing the service.
