THE u. S.-cANADA LINE

After his triumphal tour of Canada,
lust ended, King George vi doubtless has
a more vivid realization of the vast extent
of the unguarded boundary line between
his North American dominion and the
United States. Including the boundary
between Canada and Alaska, this line ex-
tends more than 5000 miles.
Though no actual hostilities accom-
panied the establishment of this boundary
line. it was the subject of negotiations for
more than 100 years. The last boundary
dispute, a minor one, was settled in 1871,
with the German emperor as arblter.
More than 5000 markers, mostly of con-
crete and metal, trace this remarkable
border, and are inspected from time to
time by United States and Canadian boun-
Diary commissioners travelling together.
Dreams of Canada's annexation to
the United States have been INDUCED In
by a few citizens of both countries at va
rious times, but it seems unlikely that such
a thing will ever come to pass, unless the
British Empire should be dismembered as
a result of an unsuccessful war. As mat
tiers now stand there is no good reason for
any change in Canada's status, from the
standpoint of either country.
With population more than 10 times
as great as that of Canada, the United
States has been and will continue to be q
friendly neighbor. The two countries hold
each other in mutual admiration and re-
SDecf thereby setting q fine example in q
troubled world.

IMPORTANT KEY DEVELOPMENTS

Within the last few days the news
columns of The Citizen have carried ac-
counts of two important developments on
Florida keys that will benefit the eco
reported the Overseas Road and Toll
Bridge District commission has adopted a
resolution providing for classification of
all lands by zones to restrict the use of
them for public enjoyment and recreation,
and that the State Road Department in CO.
operation with the u. S. Bureau of Roads
is soon to begin extension of Overseas
highway via the old railroad from Big Pine
Key to Ramrod Key.
The zoning resolution by the bridge
authority means the creation and improve
ment of recreational facilities in 4O-mile
stretch along Overseas highway from
Lower Matecumbe to Big Pine Key. Plans
have been prepared by the National Park
Service for comprehensive development
of the area controlled by the bridge
authority The work will be done by the
Civilian Conservation Corps which is now
completing removal of the debris left by
the 1885 hurricane and the contractors
who built the new highway.
Funds that will be available after
July / will enable the State Road Depart
ment this year to extend the highway
probably no further than Ramrod Key, al
though it is hoped to push the work to
Summerland Key or Pirates Cove before
the end of 1889. From Big Pine Key to
Pirates Cove the old county roadway con-
tains two miles of wooden bridges and
eight miles of curving, bumpy pavement.
Elimination of the dangerous wooden
bridges and construction of new highway
will shorten the distance from Big Pine to
Pirates Cove from ten to approximately
six miles.
These developments are both i'm
portant to Key West. Construction OF
recreational facilities will serve to bring
many thousands of persons to Florida keys
for various sports that will become avail
able. Extension of the highway will in
duce many of those vacationists and
tourists to continue on toward Key West.
OF course, the eventual completion Of the
improved roadway to this island will IN
crease the number that would come here
for visit That day does not seem SO far
distant now.
With these improvements assured,
Key West is now anxiously awaiting ac-
ton on the application for federal aid in
construction of an unlimited fresh water
supply system Until that step is accom-
plished the city may expect no large-scale
construction activity.

ST. AUGUSTINE, June %

this city in historic truth the
Birthplace of the Nation" con-
tinues to gather impetus and
strength. Originally conceived by
Mayor Walter B. Fraser and ow-
ing most of its present popularity
to the mayors untiring zeal, the
project has attracted national
recognition and support. Already
the st. Augustine Historical Res
toration, operating under the
auspices of the Carnegie Institute

United States. This committee,
all of whose members have pledg-
ed themselves to work strongly
in behalf of the restoration pro-

Fraser, such nationally known
figures as DR.. John c. Merriam,
immediate past president of the
Carnegie Institute; Joshua C.

Historical Society; Senator Harry

Floridians, who are rallying
from every section of the state TO
this cause of historic preserve

the priceless landmarks of old
st. Augustine rightfully belong
as historical heritages to the ma
ton as a whole, they are pecu-
liarly Florida's own, and for that
reason deserve the interest and
support of everyone in the state.

The Files Of The Citizen

Congressman Ruth Bryan

ceive a welcome from her host
of friends. She comes as an ad-
vanced guard and most valued

Bayview Park she will address
the people of Key West and in
accord with her promise to app
pear before the people of each
county in the district and
make a personal report on the
work she has accomplished dur
ing her term of office at Wash

point at which she will make her
report as she came direct to this
city from Washington. So it goes
without saying that BayvieW

miners seemingly doomed to certain
death Behind them loomed the grim
spectre of nineteen lifeless bodies given
up by the ruins of the blast which

sealed in" behind an air-tight door,
they might have enough good" air to

According to Fred Fergson, director
