IMPROVEMENTS FOR |KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN More Hotels and Apartments Beach and Bathing Pavilion. Airports—Land and Sea, Consolidation of County and City Goveinments, Community Auditorium, ANTI-RED PACT IN BALKANS Turkey, Greece and Yugoslavia recently signed a treaty of friendship and collaboration binding the three | countries to mutual defense in case of attack. This event is the cujmination of a long period of growing detach- * ment from the Soviet orbit by Yugoslavia. It is improbable that Soviet satellite states in the Balkans would attack this alliance without major aid from.the Red Army itself. Though Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania might muster’ a numerical supetiority against the Pact Powers, especially with the aid of Polish and Czechoslovak divisions, the task of defeating them without. large-scale aid from the Red Army would be a very difficult one. The Yugoslavs have proved themselves to be adequate fighters and possess a.terrain over which defensive fighting can be carried on under the most fav- érable circumstances, Marshal Tito is thought to have over 30 divisions capable of taking the field. Greece has exhibited the fighting qualities of her sons as recently as 1940 and the years after the war when -the Communists threatened to overrun the country. Th 1940 and 1941, the Greeks turned back numerically su- perior Italian forces and completely stalled the armies of Mussolini. Immediately after the war, the Greeks, with British and American aid, turned back the Communist guerilla bands, which were aided materially from Com-} munist satellite countries and re-established a free Greek government. The Turks are famous soldiers, having fought the Russians in 12 wars and having won nine of them. Al- though only a’fraction of the size of Russia, the Turks are unafraid of the Russian bear and are confident of their | ability in another clash with their huge northern neigh- | bor. Turkish soldiers have exhibited-great bravery and ability in Korea and were formidable foes in World War I, as the Allies found out at the Dardanelles, and after Germany surrendered, The new Balkan Pact is a major step firward in the effort to ring the Soviet Union with strong allied defen- sive alliances. The decision of Marshal Tito to enter into such a pact vindicates those who recommended and de- fended the Yugoslav aid program from the beginning. Money is the most contemptible of all man-made idols. A politician develops two faces usually sooner, sooner or later, BE! 1 At GLAD IT WAS YOU | BUMPED INTO? Thursday, March 12, 1953 1 { | | GUSTOSA ACLARACION ; Con motivo de nuestro trabajo /publicado en dias pasados, acer- ca de las farmacias de turno, en jel. que nos quejabamos de que jen nuestra ciudad, despues de las |diez de la noche, no teniamos ;ninguna farmacia - abierta, para un inesperado caso de emergen- cia en el seno del hogar, hemos | tenido el placer de recibir la cordial visita del Sr. A. E. Mar- jtinez, de la farmacia ORIENTAL, quien nos informo que ese esta- blecimiento, fundado hace mas de cuarenta anos, siempre, al cerrer- \lo en las horas de la noche, ha mantenido en su interior un tée- nico para atender cualquier soli- citud de medicinas en las horas de la noche. é Tal aclaracién que hoy hace- imos gustosos, nos da la_ oportu- jnidad de hacer un _ pequefo jexamen de los antecedentes de jesa -farmacia, que conocemos jdesde nuestra niféz. Fué su fundador un espirituano de amable prosapia cubanisima. El inolvidable Sr. Aurelio Marti- {nez, un ejemplarisimo colaborador en los dias de luchas por nues- tra liberacién y cuya persona y bolsa estuvieron siempre prestas jal trabajo y la generosa_contri- bucién, para ia alcancia de la revolucién redentora, Los que tuvimos la dicha conocer y estimar a aquel corazon, siempre hemos de re- {cordarlo con el afecto y Ja ve- neracion que su vida ejemplar merece. | Como si el cubanismo del Sr. |Martinez no fuera suficiente, nié sus destinos a los de una da- ma de revolucionario abolengo. {Nos referimos a la amable y \bondadosa Sra.

Su misién tiene | mucho de piadosa y de caritativa. Alli lo mismo se atiende al cliente rico, que al pobre. En muchos ca- sos, si se comprueba la verdadera pobreza del solicitante, se le da crédito, que jamaés se cierra, ya que en muchos casos, no se cobra jamas ese débito; pero ellos’ sien- ten la honda satisfaccién de haber realizado una obra piadesa y con eso se sienten bien pagados, aun- que con esa moneda, no podran nunca surtir los anaqueles del tablecimiento, ni siquiera pager los impuestos vigentes. Pero, toda ; no ha de ser el maldito interés.

Naturalmente, que al decir esto, nos estamos refiriendo a los que tienen el corazén abierto peren- nemente a toda obra generosa y no a los que suponen que el “di- nero” lo es todo en esta vida. | esos, los grandes equivocados que |tanto aman el metal, son casi ; Siempre, los que pasan por la vi- | da, sin haber podido disfrutar de ‘los placeres espirituales, que ofre- | cen al hombre ratos de serenidad, | capaces de hacerles un gran bien } al cuerpo fisico. Sabemos que en Miami y otras judades de la Florida, hay farma- | clas que permanecen abiertas toda | la noche. Pero, solo nos referiamos a las existentes en Key West, cuan- | ci do pediamos farmacias de turno. Ahora, dormiremos tranquilos, al conocer>que hay una de estas bo- ticas, prestas a atender la sclici- tud de un paciente, cuando en las horas de la media noche, ‘una in- esperada afeccién alcance a uno} de nuestros familiares, 0 a noso- tros mismos. Ojala que esa aclaracién tenga- mos que repetirla y que los de- mas que.aqui ejercen la noble profesion de farmacéuticos,' aten- diendo a las necesidades de la colectividad, se apresuren a imitar a estos dos buenos amigos, que mas que riquezas, buscaron siem- pre la satisfaccion del deber ‘cum- plido. para con sus semejantes. Y terminamos este trabajo ro- gando a los sefiores Martinez y Ro- Mero, que excusen nuestro error, en la seguridad de que al come- terlo, ‘solo nos guid el bien d») la comunidad. Hay ejemplos tan dignos de imi- tarse, que pocas veces se logra que las hombres, se despojen de sus ambicicnes naturales, para ofrendar a los demas, una miajita de tonsuelo y de ayuda, en sus horas angustiosas. Bomb Explodes NEW YORK #—A homemade ‘bomb exploded mildly in the Radio City Music Hall Tuesday. Its “pop” reportedly attracted te at- tention of only one person in the audience of about 6,000. i Police later said the bomb, a section of pipe filled with ex- (plosive and with a’ mechanical timing device, apparefitly was the iwork of ‘a publicity seeker who's jbeen doing this for years.” The | The bomb, placed in the slit upholstery, under a seat, singed the coat: of an ani wom- an.
