MID-WINTER
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

Have you seen the new prints
And the new hats, my dear?
February's looking up,
Mid-winter Is here.
Won't be long now,
(Who wrote that line?)
We reach out for Spring,
Feel low and pine.
Do we grumble and mooch,
Wish we could take a cruise,
Sneeze in between times?
That's mid-winter blues.
Are the children discouraged
On the quota Of snow?
Just what is the matter?
I'm sure you don't know.
For it's just mid-winter,
That and everything,
But don't we just wish
That 1t was Spring.

Keen Interest Being Shown
In Waterway Route From
Key West To Bahia Honda

'The undersigned has been on
yachts operating in South Florida
waters since 1922, usually as mas
ter, and it has been forei5ly DEM
onstrated to me that the stretch
from Bahia florida to Key West,
via the Hawk Channel, is far,
very far, from being an inside
route.
''The depths in the most excel
lently marked, but unfortunately
very shallow channel on the 9TH
er side of the Keys is very in
ADEQUATE for my crafts. Have
been held by the weather for days
at Key West. and can say the trip
has never been pleasant.
This tends to make the run
below Bahia Honda a 'one trip
affair as guests seldom care TO
get tossed around more than once,
when there are ether perfectly
protected cruising grounds. This
is most regrettable as everyone
have taken down to Key West

the city, finding something diff
ferent from the others along the
Intracoastal Waterway.
81 fully realize that the Intra-
coastal Waterway cannot be COM
pleted within q year. In fact the
progress, through no fault Of
your department, but owing TO
the lack Of unlimited funds, has
been slow. II it is your plan to
continue from Florida Bay to
Bahia Honda as the next project
and then in another year from
Bahia Honda to Key West, may
| be allowed to suggest that the
process be reversed, because while
the depths in some places on the
first mentioned stretch are not
ell that could be desired, it is
possible to get through. Also in
the event Of funds to establish
the standard /. C. w. depths on
the last stretch are inadequate, a
five-foot project would be well
coined.
81 feel quite certain that were
it possible to poll the yaehtsmen
cruising South Florida waters
they would agree with me. I'm
fortunately at the moment the
yachts which viii be eongregated
in South Florida waters in a few
months are scattered along the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts and the
Great Lakes. 'e R'a'

requesting that none Of his let
ter be construed as adverse crit
icism, as he realizes and greatly
appreciates all which has been
done BY the department and hopes
that "you can soon make all the

Key West has more friends
along the Atlantic Seaboard than
residents may be aware of, it is
shown. The secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce has called
the attention of Yacht Clubs and
yacht owners to the fact that
they were missing a lot of fun be-
cause there was no channel
through which they might enter
and explore the lovely tropical
archipelago which extends from
Key West to Bahia Honda.
Some time ago, the United
States Engineers office at Jack
sonville sent Inspector Cornwell
down here to ascertain if there
was need for the channel that
might justify the expense of a
survey and the opening of it for
traffic.
"We have no information as to
the nature of his report but
whatever it was, it is being sup
plemented by such letters as the
one from the American Power
Boat Association, in which they
express the keenest interest in
the proposed opening of the chan
mel and the one from Captain
Hamilton, who writes to the En-
ginners' office stating in unmis-
taxable terms the hazards that
might be avoided if this thor
oughfare. might be made avail
abe, states the secretary Of
the commerce body.
The cooperation of Florida
yacht clubs may be regarded as
certain, judging from the letters
received, and the graphic story
of the outside trip of the tug
Pioneer that was told in a re-
cent issue of The Citizen has been
forwarded to Colonel George E.
Brown, chief engineer at Jack

advantage that the thoroughfare

country in time of stress. Alto

ter may be presented in a man.
ner that will warrant considera-
ton.
The letter of Captain Edward
d. Hamilton referred to in the
foregoing is interesting from more
than one viewpoint, and is adj
dressed to the District Engineer,
u. S. Engineers Department,
Jacksonville, Fla, as follows:
"Dear Sir:
Have heard that your depart
ment has been making an inves-
tigation bearing upon the advis-
ability of making the Intraeoast-
al Waterway, Norfolk to Key

Lieutenant Klaus said this
morning that approximately 40
men have been added to the per-
sonnet working on the projects
in the station and submarine base.
He told The Citizen that it was
expected that the piers, (which
were authorized by the navy de-
partment and will make seven of
all-steeI finger piers when COM
pleted, win be started in about
two months, approximately, or
when the worL on Pier B, now

is almost completed.
In addition to this work an
other project has been authoriz-

It Is estinnated that the present

Selection of a patrol from
Troop 5 Boy Scouts of America,
to represent the organization al

those named will be unable to at

be the initiative step in their train
ing activity when the boys gather

their implements of destruction

weeds and other wild growths on
the lot adjoining the institution.

Jr., that when the work of clean
ing and identifying the property
Is completed the space could be
used by the scouts for games, out
door entertainments and in fact
many forms Of interesting pas
times.
The meeting was opened by
