The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-01-08

The lapse of several weeks
since my visit to Key West, the
fifteen hundred miles including
the four and a half hours ferry
ride that separates us, and freez-
ing weather here in Illinois
are sufficient to lend perspective
to an I.linoisan's impressions of
the Southernmost City in the
United States, Key West.
Four of ny friends and l, choos-
ing to spend cUr holiday season
touring the Southern States, fell
almost by accident upon the ferry
trip to Key West, and thereby
paved the way to one of the big
gest thrills Of our lives. By the
time our two-day visit of the city
had ended we realized we had
spent two of the most interesting,
educational and worthwhile days
of our lives.
Key West has everything to of
fer the tourist, the traveller or
sightseer. Key West is a city Of
romantic beauty and quaint de-
sign. Key West is the only city
in the South we found truly diff
ferent from what we could find
anywhere in florida. Yes, it is
true perhaps that cultivated Mi
ami is more beautiful, but her
beauty is artificial the same as
her welcome which is extended
only to those who come to spend.
l repeat they are interested in the
tourists cash. Key West has o
variety of types of people but
must certainly have the best of
each. The Key West citizen must
be the finest neighbor in the
world. He is a local patriot, and
loves everything about his city
from her sponge industry down to
her green turtle steaks. A casual
question asked of any citizen, or
so it seemed. was sufficient to
touch off a wealth of educational
and fascinating conversation that
may include the whole story of
the Southern city's history, the
history of the individual himself,
and perhaps an invitation to din
ner. Her people know the his
tory of Key West, and are proud
to tell about it. They urge the
visitor to see her aquarium. light,
house, turtle crawls and Mr.. Hem
house.
l have frequently wondered why
Mr.. Hemingway for eight or nine
years had made Key West his

And what is probably the most
important OF all the activities of
the board, study the status of
aged persons who had made APP
plication Cor the old age assist
ance which was put in effect sew
eral months ago.
A number OF local problems
were brought before the meeting
and discus ed. Practically all Of
them were analysed from every
side and the problems entailed
were elucidated by Mr.. Van Hyn-
ing and plans devised for their
solving.
The commissioner expressed his
deep interest in Key West and
sincerely hopes, he said, that it
will soon take it's place among
the thriving cities of Florida.

is that at Smiths creek, near the
State line A number of fatal acct
dents have occurred at the latter
point. and one or two at the Manson
trap.
