The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1938-10-19
BENCHES AND BUCKETS

For the convenience of residents and
visitors, the city some time ago provided
a grand total of 375 benches in the public
parks; for fire protection of the wooden
bridges remaining in the Overseas High
way, the county not long ago placed con-
siderable number Of water buckets at con-
venient points
Last week check made by Mrs. Eva
Warner, park supervisor revealed that
only SIS of the 375s benches remain in the
parks. Mrs. Warner reported she Vas I'M
able to learn where the benches had been
taken or who took them, but she believes
they may have been taken at different
times ''by persons who felt that they would
be safely kept if they were placed in their
own yards
That may be as good an explanation
as any, but it seems to The Citizen that the
place for park benches is in the parks, not
in private yards. IF the benches are not
soon found and returned where they be-
long, the matter should be put in the hands
of the police department. II certainly
should not be difficult for the police to
find 3f0 park benches. They take up
quite lot of room and would be difficult
to hide. Unless they have been chopped
up for firewood or playfully tossed into
the ocean by some of our justly famous
practical jokers, the benches should be To-
Gated and returned to the parks Where
they belong.
In regard to the disappearance of
about half of the water buckets from the
wooden bridges, the general opinion is
that they were removed by fishermen for
bait containers. It would be hard to trace
a water bucket, so the only thing for the
county commission to do is to provide
others. This is being done, according to
reports.
Several times within the last few
weeks four of the wooden bridges have
been saved from destruction by fire
through the chance arrival of motorists
who fought the flames with the water
buckets provided by the county. Any Key
West fisherman removing one of the
buckets is endangering the city's only
present connection with the mainland.
Every citizen of Monroe county must do
all in his power to prevent destruction of
the bridges until the railroad viaducts of
concrete are utilized by the state highway
department.

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

Practically every resident of Key
West experiences the disagreeable, COM
mon cold and there are many people who
have them with more or less regularity
during the year.
Such sufferers should be interested in
the recent suggestion that it is possible
that the cause of this scourge is diet de-
ficient in vitamin A.
For the information of those who wish
to know this vitamin is found in butter,
whole milk, yolk of eggs, spinach, lettuce,
celery leaves, turnip tops, beet tops, and
radish tops 1t is also to be found in car
rots and sweet potatoes, yellow corn, liver,
kidney and sweetbreads.
Regardless of whether you saffer
from common colds or not vitanin A is
necessary to thbi maintenance of@yonrgen-
eral health. 1t is particularly vital for chill
dren, who become susceptible to certain
infectious disease if they have it in insuffi-
cient amounts

Editor, The Citizen:
In the editorial column of The

the liberty to consider calls for
correction, in the event by "As-

| Neither this Association or the
Everglades National Park Com
mission have any authority con-
corning the area for inclusion

partment of the Interior in Wash

The purpose of the Everglades
National Park Association is to
promote interest and furnish in
formation having to do with this
National Park project, and the
province of the Park Commission
is to procure the lands not other
wise acquired within the pre-
scribed Park area.
! If the writer understands cor
rectly, the Everglades National

when the State of Florida turns
over in fee simple to the Federal
| Government the area authorized
for Park inclusion; with "minor"
notifications in the prescribed
Park boundary lines subject to
adjustment between owners and
. the Government.
If the people of the State of
Florida want the Everglades Ma
tional Park, the way is open for
its establishment. If the people
of the counties wherein the Park
area is laid down consider that
their county interests call for
notifications in the authorized
boundary lines, obviously it is a
matter to be taken up with the
Federal Government.
1t has been previously, repeat
