Many Musicians

AFTER 40,
says Arthur Cremin

ARTHUR CREMIN, as Di-
~ rector OF the New York
Schools of Music, has come in
contact with countless men and
women who have started sue
cessful musical careers after 40.
"A great many OF my stu
dents over 40 show more prom
ise in the study of music than
the younger ones," says this
41-year-old. teacher.
Creative ability does not be-
long exclusively to the young.
Many of the greatest composers
have done their most enduring
work after they have reached
the age of 40.
Walter Damrosch was Al
when he organized the New
York Symphony into a perma-
nent orchestra. He was more
than so when he found a new
career in the field Of radio. And
at IA he wrote his opera, "The
Man Without a Country"
20 Is Not Too Old to
Learn Ne.D Things
"You are never too old to take
up the study Of music" Arthur
Cremin says. More than 20fc,
of the students in the New York
Schools of Music are over 40.
1t requires much concentra-
ton and hard work to perfect
yourself in any new field, but if
you keep your health and phys
ical energy, you will be re-
warded with new paths OF in

RAILROAD WAGE CUT

The railroad situation, ignored
by Congress, now breaks into
the openl Railway employee or
CARNATIONS at New York, Chicago
st. Louis and Kansas City have
adopted resolutions opposing a
threatened Is per cent wage cut
for July /. Mayor La Guardia of
New York, where the center of
the protest spearhead is present
ed, doesn't believe that the cut
will be made because it is illeg-
al and unfair, and because the
$50, 000,0 which the cut would
save in a few months can be saw
ed in other ways. La Guardia cit
ed elimination of line duplica-
ton, which would take money
away from different railroads,
and might precipitate something
worse than Gran Chaco conten-
ton. 1t is also bit idealistic, ex-
pecting railroad heads to come
together nobly and justly and
eliminate those of their lines
which come together to save a
wage cut for railroad employees.
What they will do to help them
selves will probably take a diff
ferent trend.

STOP SPANISH BoMBrNcs

The fast falling Loyalist gov
eminent, after terrible defeats
over the week end, now attempts
to bargain with Italy and Ger
many, who are supplying a great
deal of the troops and munitions
used against her, by threatening
to bomb the cities of those ma
tons. The threat is gshoped to
bring about the reopehing Of the
French frontier to-. Bring French
arms to the Loyalist government,
the ceasing of Franco bombing
of Loyalist cities, stopping of the
war. The reprisals will probably
bring about action against the
merciless bombing of cities late
ly. Meanwhile, pincer action
against coastal city, Valencia,
continued, although Franco lost
many men in the advances.

HOW COOPERATION WORKS

An emergency was created last week
by the refusal of Chairman John Slade of
the Overseas Highway commission to sign
check for $4,000 which had been voted
by the commission as contribution to-
wards defraying the expenses Of the cele-
bration. The Citizen is not attempting to
argue the merits of Mr.. SHADES claim that
the donation is Illegal, although it had been
approved in writing by officials of the Re-
constructor Finance Corporation which
loaned the commission the funds to COM
plete the Overseas Highway.
The point we are making that the fail
ure Of that money to materialize created a
serious condition. Members of the celebra-
ton committee and the manager of the af-
fair in arranging the program had incurred
a number of debts and had agreed to make
further allotments for various phases of
the Fiesta In other words, if the bridge
commission contribution did not come
through, the celebration would have to be
called off UNLESS the citizens of Key
West and Monroe County got together and
raised an adequate fund.
A meeting was called. 1t was attended
by several leading citizens, representatives
of the council and county commission and
various civic organizations. The situation
was explained. CONSERVATION and anger at
the sudden turn of events at first marked
the utterances of those attending In q few
moments sentiment was crystallized. The
celebration must not be called off. 1t would
disgrace Key West and Monoe County jim
the eyes of the state and nation. Something
must be done at once.
Realizing it would be impossible to raise
the fund by private subscription at this late
date, it was suggested that the county COM
mission and the city council each appro-
pirate 81 ,00O although previously both
those public bodies had made substantial
contributions. Members of the commission
and the council at the meeting agreed to
the proposal The celebration was saved.
That is the kind of civic cooperation
needed in Key West. If all factions of the
city could reach similar accords on all pub
lie matters there would be no question
about the future of our city. Key West
would quickly move forward to her seat in
the front rank of progressive American
cities.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
STOCK MARKET UP

Now is the time to make some
money in the stock market. With
new deal monies pouring into the
pockets of business and consam-
ers, stocks are jumping higher
and higher. More good news ful
the stock market is the loosening
of banking regulations Sunday
by President Roosevelt. This
means that something of SIS 01J :
100000 of private money vii. be
encouraged to go into business
again. The pump has been well
primed. A note of pessiinisn IN
this optimistic outlook, however,
will not be entirely uncailed for.
The last pump-priming Congress
and the President did in early
new-deal days stimulated bust
ness, but a recession set in i'm
mediately after. The pump
works well on the first printing,
but itremains to be seen if the well
can produce without an unwel-
come flood of production, which
will eventually so glut the mark
cts that a third unemployment
recession will set in. Undoubted-
ly pump printing gives business
temporary new life and vigor, but
the economic balance of supply
and demand must be justified,
and the government has given no
figures on that important ques-
ton. s'"'eod ieniAsa 21

SUGGESTS NAME

Editor, The Citizen:
Although not a native of Key
West, having lived the greater
part of my life here, / feel en-
titled to express myself in regard
to the naming of our recently
completed Highway.
There seems to be a spirit OF
indifference on the part of our
citizens. So many names have
been suggested by outside peo-
pie that have no connection with
Key West-past, present or flu
ture-some very ridiculous, and
worst of all no mention whatso-
ever of Mr.. Flagler. Primarily, if
it had not been for Mr.. Flagler
we would never have had a high
way.
1t was a gigantic undertaking
for one man to spend vast for
tune on what was termed by some
people ''Flagler's Folly" and
Flagler'S Dream, in attempting to
build the railroad. Although the
elements destroyed small por-
ton close to the mainland there
are still standing today the beau
tiful Viaducts and Bridges as
Monuments to our Benefactor.
1t is due to the railroad that we
have substantial foundations for
our present Automobile Highway.
Without one we could not have
had the other Anyone who knows

his geography can visualize the
tremendous expanSe of water that
must be traversed to reach Key
West.
The term Overseas" is still un-
pleasant to many Americans be-
cause of its relation to the last
great war. II is just as easy to
say the "Flagler-Key West High
way, thereby paying honor to
the man who has made the present
highway possible. / feel sure
there are many citizens who must
have the same sentiment and
loyalty to Mr. Flagler, especially
those of us that were here when
the railroad first came into Key
West The tradition has also pass
ed on to our younger generation.
There should be no question of
the name for our highway, it
should be, THE Flagler-Key West
Highway.

Editor, The Citizen:
Key West baseball team is in
need of uniforms for the coming
series during the Fiesta.
The boys have been working
hard getting themselves in good
condition, and have been playing
a real good game every Sunday
afternoon.
The fans should get together
and see if it is possible for them
to look like ball players. The
teams from Miami, Havana and
U.S.S. Charleston will be in uni
form, and the Key West boys will
have to play in long street pants
and whatever shirt they may
have for their personal use. Some
will have a cap and others will
have hats. This collection of
clothes on the playing field will
look bad, and will be knock to
Key West.
What the boys need is a little
help from someone interested in
them. !, as the manager of the
local team, would like to hear
from anyone interested in the
boys.

Point-to- point races to celebrate

past polnt-to-point races were the
only ones held in the hunting coun-

the hunting season was over and they
were anticipated eagerly and at
attended by all sports loving people,
who would come from miles and miles
away to see them. AS hunt race
meetings over prepared courses be-
came more and more popular, point-to-
point races were dropped and the hunt
race meetings at which only amateurs
are allowed to ride became too good
and the jumps too stiff for ordinary
hunting people of any age to take
part in.
We have Mr.. Frederick Prince, jr.,
of Boston and New York to thank
for the revival of the ld-fashioned
point-to-point races. He has been
hunting in Virginia and Maryland for
years and four years ago bought a
farm near Marshall Va, in the
