PEOPLES FORUM
ADVERTISING KEY WEST

Editor, The Citizen:
thoroughly approve of G. G.
Fint's suggestion "To Advertise
the City" especially by the charms
of nature which it possesses. When
he first started writing in "Peo-
pies Forum" / congratulated him
in The Citizen and went to his resi-
dence to do the same BY word of
mouth. How many native or resi-
dent Key Westers have encourage
ed him?f
Though few, are now singing
the praises of Cayo Hueso in verse
and prose in The Citizen or The
Star, how many do not?
Perhaps some find it too much
of an effort even to read the
laudatory tributes from tourists.
For my part have always had
a good word for Key West inverse
or prose and have sent clippings of
the local papers praising our city
to friends or correspondence, even
those who have never seen my face,
from the Rio Grande to NJ Adams,
Mass.
| came here nearly score of
years ago, broken down in health,
some thinking l was starting to be
consumptive. Then and on two
other occasions / regainedl my
strength due chiefly. to the balmy
climate. Others no doubt have
done the same.
Places have to be aided by the
government during Depression and
in the flooded areas also by the Red
Cross, but only. for a time. No
city succeeds unless the majority
of the people work together, put
ting it on its feet again and keep
ing it there by advertising and in
other ways.
"Help myself and God will help
thee" not only with regard to sal
walton, but also in temporal con-
Germs.

Final returns from the Red
Gross activities in Key West have

that collections here amount to
81 ,402. Of the amount the sum
of $500 will go to the national or

complimented Andrew Miller of
the p. and O. s. s. company for
his work in the membership drive.
Mr.. Miller secured $279 in MEM
berships on board the vessels of
the company. Miss Lyon says that
the reason for making the late re-
turn is that some of the workers
were called away from the city be-
fore the time arrived but considers
the amount received an excellent
record for Key West.

There is no time for carelessness.
Large vehicles, especially trucks

No mans time is important
enough to risk help,ess lives. But
the big companies that operate pas
