A Magic Hand To Scour The
 Sea For Gold

GLASGOW, R)-A Dutch en- gineer and his mechanical "clutch ing hand are going after the 30,000,000 gold ducats that may have been resting at the bottom of Tobermory bay since the Span ish armada.
 The inventor, Herr Van Wiener, will attempt to find the gold in the Wreckage of the galleon Du- que Florence, off the Isle of Null, early this year.
 The galleon, part of the mighty armada of Phillip of Spain, sailed to war with Queen Elizabeth s fleet in 1888.
 When the Armada was annihil- ated, the Duque Florenca was swept by a gale toward the Scot tish coast, where the indignant islanders of Null scuttled her be- cause her master refused to pay for stores he got.
 There she has lain ever since, defying the efforts of many the treasure seeker, who based his hopes on the story that a Gree nook diver in 1865 found "one ru i Latin extracts out of K tn records that there VI. millions of CaShe on board he said ship, and it tells that it lay under ye Sell of the Gunroome."
 A fine piece of plate in silver and gold, daggers, scabbards, and bones. few coins and a cannon ball have been taken from the galleon at various times - but never the 30 million.

ARE OUR YOUNG FE6PLE wRoNc9

Mothers and fathers of Key West often
wonder whether certain activity IS exactly
the wise thing for young people.
The anxiety of parents for the conduct
of their children is understandable Natur-
ally they are sincerely concerned. They
want their boys and girls to grow into fine
men and women.
There IS a way in which parents can
influence the conduct of their children Il
Is not by denOuReing their customs or pun
ishing the yOurg people After all. grow
irg boys and girls require some form of
amusement and social life Il IS natural fer
them 10 eongregate together. If parents
dislike current activities II might be a good
idea for parents TO prOwsae - -
So far as We know there Is no conckrt-
ed community effort 10 iSi5sfde wholesome
amusement and entertainment for the
young people here Some parents welcome
young folks 10 their homes and others like
- keep them from being in the way There
are occasional devices for the pleasure Of
the young bat nothing like a eoordinated
social program for growing boys anl girls
Before older people complain OF what
FaunEer people are doing. II behooves them
- Gestir themselves and see what they are
doing for the boys and girls.

KEY WEST

Picture a car rolling southwark
Over Florida's chain of Keys,
Speeding from island TO island.
Enjoying the Gulf Stream breeze.
On the left. the Atlantic Ocean,
The great Gulf lying on the right;
Resting places along the highway.
Nature here produced q sight.
At the end Of a peaceful journey
You'll reach the city, Key West
That gem lying out in the ocean
Where the fishing is always best.
There one hears the soft-spoken
Spanish,
Sees starry skies al night;
Dimes and dances in the evening
With the Southern Cross in sight
Accommodations here are ample,
Every want is satisfied
Here one feels southern hospital
ity,
The door of welcome open wide.

T really takes so little to bring happiness. I

talk, write, travel, produce or buy that we do
possess?
That were it not for these fundamentals we
would not have the amazing production ma
chinery that we have established to enable us
to buy radios, automobiles, telephone service,
travel in such comfort, so often and so quickly.
The very uniqueness Of the fact man may
travel by automobile, train or airplane from New
York to San Francisco without passport, with
out crossing foreign frontiers, without paying
customs duties, does not seem to register on the
average American mind. Yet where else in the
world can the equivalent be accomplished by the
people of one nation?
To me, one of our greatest dangers is that
we are passively sold on democracy, free enter
prise and the system Of popular government,
when we should be actively sold.
The founding fathers were actively Sold-and
the sons for several generations thereafter-be-
cause the prosecutions and repressions from
which they had escaped in Europe were still
fresh enough in their minds. Again right after
the World War, we were actively sold on the
blessings we have in America, because we realized
we might have lost them
Today, however, smugly content that we
possess the economy Of free enterprise that we
do' we waste our time giving free advertising to
all the other "ismS' Of the world.
Instead of trying to sell democracy to ourselves
by running down perpetually, ad nauseam, the
Self-evident faults of the social systems abroad,
why not talk an equal amount with comparable
loudness about the glories Of our own democracy
To make it work, keep it, is to lend encourage
ment to many other diSiIusioned peoples across
the oceans.

received were not costly. It took only few
pennies to buy the orange, the apple the little
candy and tobacco that gladdened the hearts Of
those old folk
But no man or woman was ever more thrilled
by the costliest Of gifts than these people with
their simple presents. After all, it isn't the
value Of thing, but the thought that you
have not been forgotten, that there is some
one to remember.
Poverty is terrible thing, but loneliness is
worse. The thought that there is someone who
cares gives strength and confidence.
In this Christmas season we have seen the
great things than can be done by a community
when 1t sets its heart on accomplishing some
thing.
Gifts For All
TH1s Christmas it has been the intention that
no one should be forgotten, no one 90 hun.
CRY. The newspapers, the radio stations, the
theaters, the taxicab companies, have given their
time
The people have given what money they
could, discarded toys, clothing, food Children
have been given shoes. And yet, when you
count it all up not great deal has been spent.
And it hasn't been done as stark charity.
It's been accomplished because the people of
Washington have had the true spirit of Christ
mas in their hearts.
So why not decide, each one Of us, that we will
do our best to carry on this spirit of Christmas
in our daily lives for next year. If we do this,
1t will be much better and happier world.
