Does Lakeland Want
Winter Visitors?

the members of the Lakeland Cham-
her Of Commerce have supplied almost
every dollar from year to year, and'
perhaps, under ordinary Circumstance
es would continue so to do, even
though they are doing community
service, the expense OF which ougnt
to be borne by the community. These
men, facing now some of the results
Of the war, feel they must have some
assistance in carrying out plans for
the welfare Of the community. Money
Is needed for literature, for advertls-
ing. for the rental and up-keep OF
tourist headquarters This is com
munity service and Lakeland citizens
should gladly bear their small share
of the expense just as the people OF
Orlando, st. Petersburg and Tampa
are providing for it. A small millage
annually will take care of these items
and all will share in the benefits in
proportion to the insignificant cost.
The Board of Trade of Orlando
have recently leased one of the towns
fine hotels, we'll located, and which
will be used for the headquarters OF
the organization, room for various
public meetings, tourists headquar-
tiers, etc, paying $1,000 annually for
the first two years and $1,000 for the
succeeding three years. This they are
able to do by virtue of the levying of
a small municipal tax.
The City Of Tampa has recently ap-
propriated the sum of S9,55O, to be
used as follows: Band concerts, 49,,
500; maintenance of information bu-
reau, $2,000 national advertising,
$500; hotel and automobile blue book
advertising, $3.50; large edition of
booklets, $4,000.
st. Petersburg, according to its
commercial secretary Is better equip
ped financially than ever before ana
all of these towns are planning for
big and profitable business.
Lakeland can have her full share
but she absolutely cannot expect to
get it or anything else worth having,
unless she is ready to pay something
of what it costs to get it.
A conservative estimate has been
made showing that we may have 5000
people here the coming season. To
live in the cheapest way possible they
cannot stay here for less than an av-
erage Of $500 per day per capita,
which is total Of $4,000 a day; s42,-

Five years ago a public gathering
OF Lakeland citizens answered this
question in the negative. Since that
time, without special effort to secure
them lat least until two years ago.,
winter visitors have been coming to
Lakeland in increasing numbers and
the prospect this year is for the larg-
est number ever known. There is
serious reason, however, to fear that
while we may see more of these peo-
pie than ever before, we shall not
hold them as long as we would like
to or ought to, in order to get the
real benefit of this business, and the
reason for this is that these people
come down to be amused, entertained,
have opportunities for getting ac-
quainted and to get in touch with peo-
pie from their own particular section
in short, to pass the time most pleas
antly and as sociable human beings
And for this reason the various tour
ist resorts in the State have for years
been equipping themselves to take
care of their visitors along these
lines. So people who formerly spent
IA day in Orlando, st. Petersburg and
other similar places are now begin
ming to spend the entire season, with
this difference that while Mr.. Blank
and his family formerly spent day
or two, or at most week, in Orlando
or st. Petersburg, leaving five. ten
or twenty dollars in the community
he now spends four or five months.
leaving from two hundred to two
thousand dollars behind him. Multi
ply this simple instance by the num-
Der of those who are now spending
the entire season instead of a few
days and we have an approximate
idea of what this would mean to
Lakeland Oh, yes, we want the bust
ness now as surely as we were for
merly Indifferent to 1t. But, we must
learn now, or later (why not now and
save time and money! that we cannot
get this desirable business on any less
terms than other communities. For
years they went along just as we are
going along and now after making
their investments for equipments they
are annually reaping rich harvests
from an increasing and more desir-
able bunch of winter visitors.

The Palatka News asks: "Of what
use is a railroad commission in the
State now that the railroads are being
administered by the national govern
ment?" Which is rather a pertinent
question, when you come to think
about it. Unnecessary commissions
are Injuries which the people can
we'll dispense with these war times.
The Home Guards will resume
their weekly drills starting tomorrow
night. Although they have not
drilled during the heated term, due
partly to the Captains absence what
remains of the "old guard" those
who have not been taken for army
service-are probably already as we'll
drilled as any company of the kind in
the State.
1t is very likely you are going to
be approached this week by some one
asking you to buy war savings stamps.
Receive him kindly, for he is a busy
man whose time probably is worth
fully as much as yours. He is giving
his time to his country and to your
interest-for he is only asking you
to put some money in a safe place
where 1t will come in mighty handy
for you bye and bye. Therefore do not
treat him as you would an agent or
a solicitor, but make his task as easy
and pleasant as possible.
From all that We can learn from
the most authoritative sources, people
who have jobs, even in so-called non
essential avocations, should hold on to
them until they are called into other
service. The government does not
contemplate disrupting the industrial
or commercial system of the country
more than is absolutely necessary.
When the government needs a man II
probably will let him know, especial
" as enlistments in the army are not
encouraged at this time.
