Breath-taking Beauty In Annual Key By BILL MEYERS When I entered the portals of the Elk’s Club Annex and beheld the breath-taking beauty of the scene, I felt like falling on my knees and thanking the Master for the wealth of the gift of sight. Garnered together by the ladies and gentlemen of the Key West Garden Club are views of over- whelming splendor. A riot of color has been gather- ed in the auditorium from the gardens of this exotic city. Such resplendent beauty can be seen no where else under the American Flag, for Key West, absolutely frost-free, is truly a bit of the West Indies. Where else can you get a reserved [front seat at the greatest show on earth; the un- folding of Nature's glorious mani- festations in flower, fruit and tree? yi A visit to the show will bring out the beauty that lives within your inner self, for the magic joveliness will touch you deeply; playing on the very chords of your being. Key West, thrice blessed, is a veritable Garden of Eden. Exotic flowers bloom everywhere on this sun-drenched island, in living, re- joicing colors, awe inspiring, beau- tiful. The colors, chanting morning and evening in chorus to heaven, bring serenity to the burden heart of man, Whose brush or pencil however lovingly inspired can give you these? In the supreme glory of a flower’s unfolding, emo- tions thrill the depths of one’s | being as eyes drink in the beauty |of the scene in wonderment — a | panorama of enchanting loveliness. | Here in this city one may wit- |ness such scenes every day of the year; miracles that bespeak elo- quently the glorification of God, the Creator of rare, unearthly | beauty. | At times, gazing in rapture, a feeling of great warmth permeates |my being, bringing tears of glad- ness in fervent gratitude. Serenity and beauty are sisters. Acquire them and know tranquillity. In dazzling array the pageantry of | stars await your gaze. | There are innumerable gardens in Key West where one may see tangible peace, where one may discern the hand of God as He surely intended things to be. Sometimes I feel unworthy to enjoy the clean, soft blue sky, the song of birds, the sight of trees and flowers; but having learned simplicity I feel an exuberance while gazing at Nature’s marve- lous mysteries in ‘lower, fruit and vine, I thrill with gratitude at every such opportunity. | Feel kind, and you will acutely feel alive and as you become con- cious of sun, moon and sky new |horizons shall open unto you, The key to every man is his thought. A man cannot bury his meanings so deep in a book, but time and like-minded men will find them. Capehart Renews His: Plea For Standby Price Control By EDWIN B. HAAKINSON WASHINGTON (@ — Sen. Cape- hart (R-Ind), renewing his plea for standby wage-price-rent con- trols, said that such power would be ‘a little economic penicillin” against “economic plague—come a war, God forbid.” Capehart’s statement was pre- pared as the curtain-raiser to hear- ings, scheduled by the Senate Banking Committee to last two weeks, on economic controls legis- lation. Some 60 witnesses are ex- * pected. Leadoff witnesses for this session ‘vere Charles Holman of the National Milk Producers Fed- eration, C, W. Kitehen of the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Associa- tion, and a spokesman for the Dairy Industry Committee. Before the Senate committee are numerous proposats for extending controls, which expire in the next few months, as well as legislation introduced by Capehart and 11 other committee members to au- thorize the President to revive con- trols in the event of war or econo- ic emeérgency. Capehart, chairman of the com- mittée, said he was against eco- nome controls in principle but felt standby powers were needed to prevent any “disastrous economic dislocation.” Nevertheless, he said in an in- terview he war not “stiff-necked” about details of his proposal. He expressed willingness to compro- mise with lawmakers, like Senate Republican Leader Taft of Ohio, who oppose any standby controls power. As Capehart's proposal now stands, the President could freeze prices, wages and rents for 90 days in an emergency. During this 90-day period Congress could en- act more permanent controls leg- islation. Capehart said he would be will- ing to shorten the freeze period from 90 to 60 days or even extend it to 120. He maintained the two world wars showed most inflation came while Congress tried to “‘en- act temporary controls under pres- ere,” * “All of the Eisenhower admin- istration officials told us frankly {and honestly that an emergency |may develop that might make such controls necessary,” Capehart said. “I don’t question Sen. Taft's sincerity in opposing standby con- trols but I do question his judg- ment.” Taft has said any standby con- trols would be a threat to business and free enterprise. If such powers are ever needed, he has said, Con- |gress can quickly assemble and grant them. In testimony prepared for the I’ve made discoveries, great discoveries in‘my study of mira- |culous Nature. Amazing are her workings; thrilling indeed are the rewards for studying her miracles. Man should be lavish with his time, his money and the warmth of his heart to those burdened. To do so, man will carry away with him a tonie sense of freshness and a renewed zest for life. New hope shall be yours; God’s infinite goodness is right here, now. One must never drink despair; banish it from your mind. Let new light, new hope penetrate your heart, and like birds, bees and butterflies, flit, as it were, from flower to flower, drinking in beauty while thinking thoughts of goodness, The play of all animals is just their way of uttering the Glory of God. There is no commotion when a hibiscus bush blooms. One can’t hear the grass grow. All nature teaches man serenity. Watching a tiny hummingbird sipping honey from a Pandora, its wings moving with such rapidity, |I could not see them, taught me utter simplicity, The hummingbird is the smallest bird in the world, but he is the personification of diligence, This is the Lenter? Season and many flowers blooming on vine, bush and tree are in full bloom, conveying to man messages of faith, for these are truly symbolic President Asks Red Cross Help WASHINGTON — President Eisenhower has asked the nation to contribute in money and blood to help the Red Cross do its job this year. In remarks recorded last week for television and radio broadcast relief organization “one of the free institutions which has helped make this country great.” He said it is serving nearly 3,600,000 service- men, including many in Korea.

The Lenten trees shed their leaves, and blos- som forth with blood red flbwers only during the Lenten Season on Easter Sunday the flowers will have disappeared and the leaves | return. The Passion Flower telling the story of Calvary blooms every day in exotic Key West, each petal telling the wonderous story of His death. The Crown of Thorns with its blood red flower is in full glory during the Easter-tide. All these speak jcyously, bring- ing to man much needed comfort. If beauty appeals to you and stirs your heart, you have the gift to be grateful, and new vistas, beautiful beyond description shall unfold for you. All Nuture is medi- cine. You may nave it in- abun- dance. “Seek #hd ye shall find.” God seems more intimate in Key West. I take walks with Him, for truly I love this little island, All the flowers described herein are at the flower show. There are also exquisite shadow boxes and other arrangements, of unearthly beauty. Go to the Flower Show and you will become happy and enthusiastic \and carry a zest into your life that may amaze you. May the writer express deep, heart-felt gratitude to all respon- sible for the wonderful Key West Flower Show. May God strew your paths with roses, roses of trans- cendent beauty, such as adorn the tables of your enchanting display.

There is no room in Libya for Italians—~or any other foreigners—who are unem- ployed. This stand, although reassuring to some extent for some of the Italians, leaves the problem of the younger generations unsolved.
