Key Westers against the P. & O. for the way it treated us shortly after the 1985 hurricane destroyed the railroad in the Matecumbes. Of course, due to the abandonment of the railroad in the Florida Keys, the operation of the freight-carrying ferrieshhad to be stop- _ we to run between here and Havana to keep up our ties by cis between here and Havana to keep up ouur ties by —— | with the Cuban capital. And then we shuddered re- fully when we heard that the Florida would be taken away from us. f ( ‘But when the company makes amends, even at so late a date, our resentment should die out. We shouldn’t resent anything that promotes the welfare of Key West even when that thing, had been the source of resentment. We want to progress honestly, and shouldn't be “picky” about the way we progress honestly. -So The Citizen wholeheartedly welcomes the coming of the Florida, and urges-the City Commissioners. to do all in their power to have the Florida resume running be- tween here and Havana. If you have any resentment left, you should smile“it;away in knowing that up Miami way | therewill be a feeling akin to resentment.over.the Flor- ida’s coming back to us. e ie So let’s fe the Florida just as glad a hand as we give to the ferry it is proposed to run .between here and Havana. At one time we had steamships coming to this port from New York, Galveston, New Orleans, Tampa, Havana and, beginning in 1887, the City of Key West op- erated between here and Miami, which, as a city; was only’ a year old. All those runs were regular, except the one from New Orleans. ‘ Give us back the glory of our port. The operation of the ferry and the Florida may lead to regaining that glory.

Just arrived in camp here in the Keys and enjoy it very much. In fact this is my second trip here in less than three weeks. I am assistant stoutmaster of troop 885 in Miami, and I find it much more enjoyable here on the Keys then in Miami. Our whole troop found the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. McKercher, the caretakers’the finest that we have ever encountered. I am sure that troop that has ever visited this camp, agrees with me, that this is the finest camp, in Florida, and I’m not just not kidding. The facilities are some of the finest that I have seen, but I understand they could be better if the camp could get by deed to this ptoperty, which is now owned by the ite. ; T have seen the plans for the new cabins whith will be erected if and when the camp gets the property. This camp will have more. to offer to the Boy Scouts than probably any-other in the south. The camp it- self is located in an ideal spot on West Summerland Key, and no one could ask for more then to get the deed, for it is the only thing holding back the progress of this finé camp. Remembering of course that the youth of today will make the leaders of tomorrow, it is essential to offer them facilities which will further the knowledge, experience, and training in scouttraft, I Remain Scoutingly Yours ROBERT CROWE, Ass’t.

In that story there was a statement that Rabbi A. Schwartz had deplored the immorality of some of the moyies shown here. I am sorry that I was misunderstood. Here is ex- actly what I said, that from the stories we hear in out of town papers, about the horrible crimes youngsters are committing, I believe that from some of the pictures they see in the movies they learn bad morals or bad examples. Maybe we better investigate to find out what kind of pictures they see here or is shown here. And so far Iam really proud to say that so far I have the greatest respect for our movies and all our entertainment places. And. since we spéak of youth and «children, I am also proud to say that we have a fine class of children in our town of Key West, which we can really be proud of, . Thank you for correcting the error or misunder- standing. RABBI ABRAHAM SCHWARTZ Editor’s note: At the Juvenile Council meeting Monday night, Rabbi Schwartz made a motion, which was passed by the coun- cil, to investigate movies shown in Key West te determine if they are fit for children. } SS anEEEEEEEEe NOT A MATTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH Editor, The Citizen: Let me quote part of a decision recently handed down by District Judge James V. Galloway of La. “We advert to the scientific eviderice concerning nature, and ‘cause of dental . . decay. It is. not con- tagious and cannot be transmitted from one person to another. No person... having that dental caries Jean on that account, have any adverse effect on the r health, dental or otherwise, of the general public, or any member or segment thereof... . in our opinion this is not @ matter of the public health. It is strictly within the realm of individual and personal dental health and hygiene within each person to be free to choose his course for himself and those for whom he is responsible in the family relation. To this field the just powers of the government. do not extend.” There can hardly be any argument as to the soundness of that conclusion. If any individual be- lieves that fluoridation will be beneficial for his child, then why not administer it as a parent—it is a perfect- ly dimple matter—and not devote time and energy to trying to force others to submit to the same against their will. 3 ope: Let me agree with Jim Cobb’s dodor favors fluoridation of dtihking a group of people are trying to keep’ e benefits of it, : ' Very Truly. ...

Jack Delaney’s suggestion thet the city sponsor a giant fish fry for the public to mark the maiden voyage of the City of Key West, was the best we heard. Every- body’s seen a parade and some folks won't want to attend the “Ferry Ball.” But everyone loves a fish fry. Ray Knopp is of the opinion that the carpenters union will donate labor for building tables, the restaurants would offer their chefs and that lumber deal- ers would kick in with materiala, And we'll wager the charterboat> jmen would come actoss with fish, And maybe Johnny West would whip up some of his famous grouper chowder, Let’s have a fish fry.

No man can live a truly eon- structive life or can follow the path of Christianity until he realiz- es that he too, is a product of God’s Creation. He muust be ¢on- fident — willing — faithful. Not to others but to himself as When we’ve learned to te our good points with a of reverence and humility to for giving us these races, then we're finally gaining strength which will “...

By His life, He ex- the value of simple honesty, integrity, faith, love. We who profess to be Christians +-followers of Jesus—give lip-ser- vice to His teachings. And that is, about as far as most of us go! If You‘ want the truth, the plain unador acts, we're Christians by chatice’ and not by work. We spend a good portion of each day inventing subterfuges by. which we ay eseape the rigorous effort of practicing the Christianity which we claim. Vanity Vanity—and the desire to be praised by other men—usually carries us further afield from the true teachings of Jesus than any other one characteristic. Tt is the vain person who must always be a leader in the church rather than the quiet follower of seaching for a new religion; an action which is ‘proof of the pud- ding’ that his thoughts were prim- arily concetned with mortal prest- ige and not ultimate salavation. But it isn’t for us to condem the vain, egotistical person. Not unless that person happens to be ourselves! Rather, we should pity him and seek means of helpin him gain a truer idea of his worth.
