Page 6 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Monday, Seprember 29, 152) SRD REFUSES (Continued trom Page One) Florida Keys the vegetation and wild life is like that of no other place in this country, so that when travelers journey toward Key West they have a feeling of other worldliness, The low-lying mangroves, the occasional coconut palms that dot the Keys, the wild cry of the gulls. all of these things yield easily to | the harsh growl and rending push of the bulldozer when the land is being “developed”. If travelers | ‘ were no longer able to drive for | long stretches surrounded only by the gleaming coral beaches past which their eyes can sweep the expanses of both the Gulf of Mex- ico and the Atlantic Ocean, most “drive out to sea’? would be gone. Admitting the necessity of some stops along the drive for accomo- dations for fishermen and over- night visitors, there is still no need for the building up of areas now remaining in their state of wild natural beauty. Another action of the Board of Administration which may be of interest to persons in Monroe County was taken in regard to the request for the right of ingress and egress made by State Repre- sentative Bernie C. Papy and Claude E. Gandolfo. This request was handled as follows: The Board gave consideration te the request of Rep. B. C. Papy and Claude E. Gandolfo for a 99- Year easement across a strip of land on Long Key, 150 feet wide and 46 feet long, lying between State Road 5 and property owned by the two applicants, for the purpose of ingress and egress. “After discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that it would be contrary to the policy of the Board to grant such an ease- TRUMAN CALLS IKE (Continued from Page One) | American people to tell them they | make up their minds according to | | their emotions, and not on the basis | }of the great issues that are be- | | fore them.” T-uman called Eisenhower a candidate ‘who has nt all his | !life in the Army and doesn’t know | much about what has been.nev “The last time you had a Re- » administration your farm | ages were being foreclosed you couldn't count them.” “Are you covered by social sec jurity or railroad ret asked. ‘‘Are you cou \to help you in your c | you'd better look out lican candidate for president said if the American people want sec {urity the best place to find it is |} vin jail “Above all, let me ask you: Do you want i avoid a third world | war?

September 18, 1952 To Whom It This is to advise that I have studied and watched the retail liquor business in this and other areas of Florida where Dog Tracks have been established and operated. IT can safely say that the business in the liquor in- dustry in each instance in such areas, has not been kurt but, on the contrary, has been in- creased by the operation of such Dog Tracks. I have observed that some few people in the liquor business in other locations have May Concern: objected to the opening of Dog Tracks, but after the opening, in the due course of time, have found that their objections were not good and that their business was not injured by such tracks. SOUTH FLORIDA LIQUOR BOARD OF DADE COUNTY By Albert Goldman. President. AN APPEAL TO COMMON SENSE — I admire the opposition of the good Ministers who have fought us. I know their purposes are noble, and nothing contained herein is in- tended to reflect on them. I hope if the citizens see fit to approve our track to win the approval of these ministers at least as to the fine, clean, honest operation we shall have. We shall take our part in contri- buting to the charitable work of Key West and do our civic utmost in the upholding of all laws. The illegal gamblers and liquor dealers are fighting us for per- sonal economic reasons. That's their business. This is a free country and even they have a right to express their opinions. It is for the good citizens of Key West to determine which way they wish to travel — the choice of a fine entertainment institution controlled and inspected by the State of Florida and with taxation which helps to carry the tax burden, or the way of illegal gambling without taxation which leads to corrup- tion and the dives some of which disgrace and disgust any morally de- cent person. Task you to ask your city commissioner who wanis to save your soul by urging you to vote against the dog track, WHY DOESN'T HE SAVE HIS OWN SOUL — the records at city hall show that he voted three times to invite us to come to Key West and to lease us city lands for the purpose of operating a dogtrack only four months ago? If it was good within the city limits, why is it bad outside the city limits? WHY THE CHANGE? WHY? WHY? ~ Can it be that the MASTER POLITICIAN of Key West is unhap- py? Can it be that the master politician of Key West and his hirelings do not understand that we refused to play politics? Can it be the master politician has cracked his whip. I loathe bosses and dictators and master politicians who make small fry act even against their own judgment. It has in the past, does, and will continue to keep out of Key West. busi- nesses and institutions which will be beneficial to the many and perhaps detrimental to the welfare of the few. If the citizens of Key West want us to come, we hope they will vote for us. On the other hand if we are intruders, as some petty politi- cians ordered to do the bidding of the master politician, then for good- ness sake, vote against the track and we will gracefully abide by your de- cision. However when you get into the ballot box, it is a secret place and you must answer only to your bestjudgment, you are the final judge — not the illegal gamblers, the dive operators, or the master politician.
