CAMERA CLUB
TO HAVE ART
CENTER HELP
'SEASCAPE OR BEACH SCENE
Y AND CLOUD COMPOSITION
TO BE PROBLEM STUDIES
FOR NEXT MEETING.

Officers elected at the organ
ization meeting of Key Vests
new Camera Club held last night
in the Jury Room of the County
Court House were Howard Eng
land, president, and J. ID. Harris,
Secretary-treasurer Other busi-
ness of the Club will be handled
through committees appointed by
the president.
Mr.. Morgan gave a talk on the
purpose of the new Art Center for
Key West, and stressed the fact
that he and assisting artists were
willing to cooperate in every way
possible with the Camera Club.
Mr.. Morgan suggested giving
the Club a definite problem for
the next meeting, and it was de-
cided that two pictures should be
taken for the next meeting--one
to be a seascape or beach scene
and the other a cloud compost
ton.
II is his belief that the Art
Center will be the means of pro-
noting the Camera Club and
bringing its activities before the
city. Mr.. Morgan said he would
aid the Club in putting on exhibit
tions and extend the use of art
facilities and space to the MEM
berS.
He stated that he has already
started collecting material for a
Photographic scrap-book. and will
try to arrange for space for
Photographic reference library.
II was decided TO have meetings
on the second and last Monday
of each month; the first to be a
business meeting and second an
informal discussion of photos
taken by members.
II was decided that there would
be no regular dues for the pres
ent. as the Club has no darkroom
or equipment.
Messrs. Yates, Harris and Eng
land, respectively. were selected
to inspect a possible darkroom in
the business place of Donald Cor
mack.

Key West And Overseas
Highway ReecivinglMuch
Publicity From Railroads
Chamber OF Commerce Re-
ceives Copy Of Story
Issued By Seaboard Air
Line

Railroads throughout the coun-
try have earnestly taken up the
publicity which is keeping Key
West and the Overseas Highway
before the. eyes of the public. a
recent story entitled New Key
West Highway Opening Up An
Historic Land" has been issued by
the Seaboard Air Line and sent
10 the Chamber of Commerce.
"The recent opening of the new
Overseas Highway extending ITO
miles from Miami to Key West,
has resulted in a flood of tourists
travelling to and from the historic
island city which is BIS miles fur
ther south than Cairo, Egypt
Travellers can now make the
trip to Key West and return the
same day. Florida Motor Lines
buses leave Miami Z and 0 a. m,
and l and 5 p. M. and returning
leave Key West twice in the
morning and twice in the after
noon.
Called Cayo Hueso by the
Spanish, Key West is considered
one of the most picturesque and
interesting cities in America. A
bit of old Spain and the Cuba of
yesterday transplanted to the
the United States. Not two miles
wide nor quite five miles long
this island city has background

nance of the days of piracy along
the Spanish main.
1T was along the Keys that
Spanish pirates made their rem
devious, 10, prey, upon the rich
cargo vessels sailing between New
England. New Orleans and South
America. The coral islands made
an easy refuge from the Tnensof-
war of France. England ard the
United States for these Spanish
corsairs. More treasure has been
scattered along the Florida Keys
than any other equal stretch in
the world. and Key West was
founded by the shipwrecked per-
sons from the first families of
Virginia, New England and South
Carolina.
Piracy was stamped out in
1922 when Commodore Porter es-
tsblished the first naval base on

or her views, limited only by just
appraisal of their merits. know,
too, that failure or refusal to do
just this results in the conviction
in many young minds that youth
is held a crime by older people and
the young are not given a chance
because Of it.
There is a reason for this. It does
not cover every case. 1t is, however,
sufficiently true to be applicable
to the great majority of times
when youth must go elsewhere for
the honor it should receive at home.
Youth is expected to be Eighty,
Indispensable cocksure, headstrong,
demanding.
When youth passes into maturi-
ty it is justly expected to drop the
failing of the adolescent, seeing
and speaking as child; to take
unto itself the characteristics of
men.
Too many young people fail to
do this. Too many times they carry
over into the serious years of ma
turity the offensive viewpoint we
gladly overlook in our children.
The result not only blinds us to
any abilities individually possessed,
but inclines US to deprecate the
possibilities and accomplishment
of all youth.
Jesus had reason to be bitterly
disappointed at the failure Of His
people to honor Him.
Many of present day youth have
not, and that is why, so often, a
man is without honor in his own
environment.

Letters to the
Editor
Why Go South?

To the Editor:
The intention of many college
students who attend northern uni
versities is to finish school and go
south either to teach, to preach, or
to go into one of the other profess
siens. Especially is this true of the
graduates of the University Of
Minnesota and the private colleges
of this state. The reasons for this
may be two-fold. Graduates may
need a job Immediately, as it seems
most people go to school for this
purpose rather than education, or
the other reason may be that they
are intellectual towards and do not
care to do pioneering work.
The writer has in mind a few
students whose parents circum-
stances would have permitted them,
the students, to remain in the Twin
Cities to help do a few things that
are essential if Negroes want to
progress in this state.
A camp for Halle @. Brown and
Phyllis Wheatley House is needed.
A cooperative farm, co-opera-
tive grocery store, a cooperative
oil station, and a larger credit un-
ion are needed.
More colored doctors and nurses
in our hospitals, colored teachers
in our schools, and colored alder
men in our City Council are need
ed.
We live in a state with many
civil-minded and intelligent white
people. We also have in this state
a political administration that will
assist as in the above mentioned
aspirations.
Few states have so much natural
beauty as does the state of Mime
sofa. In fact, this state might re-
mind one of heaven minus the
golden slippers, milk and honey.
Why go south when there is so
much to be done here?
HERBERT HOWELL.
