LET'S NOT KILL THE GOOSE

Evidence of an unprecedented flow
of traffic to Key West this season, as
earlier predicted in these columns, daily
is accommodating in the auditing office of
the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District
at Marathon. From last Saturday morning
through Monday evening total of 1921
motor vehicles carrying 1852 persons
passed through the toll gates at Lower
Matecumbe and Big Pine Key. That is the
largest weekend volume since the opening
of the highway, and it sshighly probable
as many or more cars will arrive here this
coming holiday period.
Since 1852 persons were brought over
the highway, in both directions, last week
end it is estimated that 100 to 1900 of
them found their way to Key West. Some
came just for the ride and departed
siderable number remained for day or
two, for hotels, restaurants and night clubs
report they enjoyed their best business of
the year. Some of the hotels were filled
and many visitors found accommodations
in private homes and roominghouses.
AS yet there is no general tendency to
skyrocket prices for rooms and other serv-
ices in Key West Some prices have been
advanced but they still remain within rea-
son and are not likely to discourage the
visitor who wants to remain for day or
more. 1t has been reported, however, that
some householders with spare rooms are
asking prices above the levels usually de-
manded by first-class hotels which provide
better facilities and service.
If that policy is adopted generally it
will be sorry situation for Key West.
The surest way to kill the visitor goose
that is laying the golden egg of prosperity
for this community is to boost prices. Un-
reasonable charges some time ago levied
in the Miami area for rooms, apartments,
hotel space and other facilities forced
thousands of winter visitors to seek accom-
modations elsewhere. In fact, the high
rates on the mainland compelled many
visitors to come to Key West the last
couple of years in search of more reason
ably priced accommodations.
1t is we'll to remember that moderate
ly priced rooms rented constantly night
after night bring a greater aggregate re-
turn than rooms empty half the time be-
cause the average tourist cannot afford to
rent them. The citizens of Key West will
be serving themselves and the community
by treating our visitors as they would ex-
pect to be treated by them if their situa-
tons were reversed

Tunisia, of which we are hearing so

future, has been French protectorate

I somehow got up and then back
to bed.
Then what to my wandering
mind should appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight
tiny reindeer. "a
Then the sleigh seemed to change
to a red fire truck
And each reindeer turned into a
bleery eyed buck;
l knew in a moment it must be
Old Nick
I tried to cry out, but my tongue
was too thick.
Then the old devil whistled and
shouted with glee
While the bucks paved the earth
and looked daggers at me.
Then he called them by name
and the names made me
Shudder.
When I heard them I felt like a
ship minus rudder.
Now Egg-nog! Bacardil Four
Roses! and Brandy!
Now Fruit Cake! Cold Turkey!
Gin Hickey! and Candy!
To the top of his dome, to the
top of his skull,
Now whack away, crack away,
with thumps that are dull!"
Then in a twinkling I felt on my
roof
The prancing and paving of each
cloven hoof.
How long this went on I'm sure
/ can't say
Tho it seemed an eternity, plus
a long day.
But finally the night after Christ
mas had passed
And l found that / could really
think straight at last.
So / thought of the New Year a
few days away,
And Pve made me a vow that no
tempter can sway.
I'm sticking to water, don't even
want ice,
For there's nothing as tasty or
nothing as nice.
The night after New Year may
bother some guys
But I've learned my lesson, and
brother I'm wise;
You can have your rich victuals,
and liquor that's red,
But what goes to my stomach
won't go to my head.
So a big Happy New Year to you
and to all;
I'm back on the wagon, and hope
/ don't fall!

between the mosquito and house

quito, may completely spoil night

each is responsible for the spread
of disease; the fly pollutes our food
with the germs of typhoid fever,
while malaria, a disease respon-
sible for much suffering in certain
of our southern states, is trans
mitted by the mosquito. The other
members of this group are also
very real public enemies, and must
be treated as such.
In fighting these age-old enemies
which developed millions of years
before man made his appearance
on earth, the entomologist, one
who studies insects, first learns all
he can about their life cycle and
feeding habits. This frequently
supplies the clue to the best
method of attack. Since prevention
is easier than cure, every means
should be taken to prevent insect
pests from gaining a foothold in
the home. For example, chemically
impregnated lumber should be used
for the most vulnerable points of
construction in a home (sill, sub
flooring. porch parts, etc.). With
such treated lumber and proper

l46' S Delegates Are
Given Big Send-Off
Bro. Boyd Says Picnic This
Year Best Yet In Spite Of
disappointment

Paden City, w. Va.-Despite the
warm weather members Of Local
Union No. 146 turned out at their
regular meeting to give their dele
gates a hearty send off.
Several reports were given, the
most interesting one from Brother
John Boyd. He gave a short speech
on the "Potters' Buy American" Pic
mic. Brother Boyd, says that for over
an hour he was in a high state Of
mind, as it was reported his wife had
won the automobile. Believing he had
a new car to drive home, John set the
drinks up to the boys, but alas! the
end came too soon. Brother John
found out that there are more Boyds
in this "fair" world. In spite of all
this disappointment, he believes this
years picnic the best yet.
There was no mention made of the
fast one pulled at Idora, where Jap
goods were slipped into the prizes
given away at concession stands. We
had to read the Potters Herald to find
this out If that isn't cheap, then this
writer is twice a Chinaman. There
must have been a slip up. We are the
last one on the line to accuse the Pic
mic Committee, that's preposterous, as
we know the men on the committee
and they are very honest and sincere.
Nevertheless, this incident does
bring home certain things to us. Boy
cott isn't strong enough, we need a
thorough purge. This means COM
plete cleansing of the country of
this scourge, also rally more earnestly
behind the unions for home manufac-
turing and consumption of products.
We are looking to this years conven-
m for strong and vigorous appeal
to the delegates and the membership
to buy absolutely nothing that is not
"MADE IN AMERICA" More action
is needed, more vitalized upsurge
against the Trade Treaties and more
education for the workers on Ameri-
can union made goods.
On giving leave to our delegates to
this convention we are face to face
with renewal of our contract. Among
the many problems there is one that
stands out, namely, an agreement for
the batterouts and mouldrunners. They
need contract that will be completely
satisfactory to all shops.
Greetings to all delegates and Of
! ficials.-O. G. JAG.
