CIVIC ASSOCIATION FORMED

The Citizen believes the economic
prosperity of Key West in the future will
depend to large degree upon the tourist
trade that now seems headed in this direc-
ton. Just how extensive that trade will
be no one can now foretell, but it is safe
to say it will be substantial and in all
probability sufficient to provide many of
our people with profitable work in provid-
ing shelter, food and services for many
thousands of visitors annually.
In the matter of shelter, the average
winter visitor usually demands location
as close to the ocean as possible and as
far away as possible from disturbing noises
and upsetting commercial enterprises Key
Vests most desirable waterfront area is
along the ocean from Whitehead street
east. 1t is there the greatest demand for
residential facilities of all kinds is most
likely to develop, in the opinion of COM
petent realtors and unbiased observers
To the end that undesirable encroach-
ments by commercial enterprises may not
be permitted without united opposition,
some rs residents and property owners of
the area bounded by Whitehead, United
and Bertha streets and the Atlantic ocean,
have formed an organization to be known
as the South Side Association Henry Brew
er is president and Clifford G.. Hicks, secre-
tary-treasurer, while the executive COM
mittee consists of Everett Winter, Melvin
E. Russell, William W. Watkins, v. A.
Johnson and William Arnold
Subjects discussed at the organization
meeting Tuesday night included the ques-
ton of adequate zoning regulations, mos
quito eradication and control and the
meaning of the term residential area" in
connection with the groups desire to keep
their session residential. 1t was brought
out that residential means homes, apart
ments, apartment hotels and hotels such as
the Casa Marina, which is located in the
heart OF the South Side district and which
enhances, rather than detracts from, the
beauty and the value of the property in
the immediate neighborhood.
Members of the South Side associa-
ton will be performing fine public serv-
ice for the entire community if it presents
no opposition to the construction of fine
residential hotels and apartments along
the waterfront in that section. Many of
our readers and The Citizen were under
the impression the South siders proposed
to make it an exclusive neighborhood for
homes to the exclusion of hotels and apart
ments The fact this is not the case is good
news and fact that increases public re-
spect for the progressive citizens forming
the new civic association.

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
happenings Here just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From The Files OF The Citizen

The dance and banquet given
at the La Concha Hotel last night
by the Key West Electric Com
pany Benefit Association is being
acclaimed one of the gayeSt and
most elaborate society functions
of the. year. EightytWo covers
were laid and series of tables
were loaded with delicious re-
pasts for which Manager and Mrs.
Golden have become justly IA
nous. Dancing started at 9
o'clock with music furnished by
Cecil Carbonell's orchestra, and
merry couples kept the gaieties
going until a late hour, when the
banquet started. The feast was
the final number on the program
so arranged it was stated that
members of the association who
were forced to work late would
have the time to prepare for the
evening. Addresses were made
by Edward Madigan, president
of the association, and Bascom l..
Grooms, president of the COM
pany. The speakers compliment
ed the signal success of the af-
fair and complimented the COM
mittee on arrangements, since
nothing had been neglected which
would have added to the pleasures
of the affair.

Key West has received another
recruit tosits colony of writers in
the person of Kenneth Harris,
well-known as a writer of fic-
ton, whose stories have for years
appeared in the Saturday Evening
Post and other magazines, to de-
light a host of readers. Dr. George
r. Plummert on his trip to New
York last fall had a talk with
Mr.. Harris and persuaded him to
come to Key West this winter.
Last winter the writer was resi-
dent of Virgin Islands. He has
not been in Key West long
enough to form an opinion as to
whether he likes the city or not,
although he believes the climate
will prove beneficial. Mr.. Harris
is an old-time newspaper man,
beginning his career along with
George AIDE and host of other
well-known writers back in the
early days of journalism in Chi
cago.

Today Germany, as this column
has pointed out before. is looking
more and more to South Amer
lea. Conquest of the Sudeten-
land has greatly increased Ger
man industrial production, and
she must find markets. !, Further
more, she is often able and will
ing to make far better barter
deals than we can make in cash
deals. In central Europe Ger
many has already taken a large
part of the great market which
once was largely monopolized by
the English. She is threatening
to do the same thing to us in the
Western hemisphere.
What will come of this grow
ing conflict-and make no mis-
take about its seriousness-can-
not yet be forecast. Perhaps we
will change our foreign policies
somewhat in order to successfully
meet German competition. And
perhaps still more possible, is the
chance that Hitler will take the
initiative in resuming trade rela-
tons with this countryside last
trade agreement we had with
Germany was cancelled by Hitler
in 1884, and we have done rela-
lively little business with her
since. AS Business Week also
says, there are three big reasons
why Hitler might desire this: ~
Germany needs American buyers
to absorb some of the products
of the Sudeten; (2) Germany also
needs us to absorb some of the
produce of her own internal in
dustries; 60 If the Anglo-U. S.
trade agreement does go into eff
feet, as seems almost certain,
This will destroy a valuable ex-
port market for Germany, unless
adjustments can be made.
This drama is we'll worth
watching-it is the sort of thing
that determines world prosperity
or world depression, as we'll as
peace and war. Whatever hap
pens, it is a colorful and novel
chapter in the long history of in
ternational commerce.
