PALESTINE SAVES REFUGEE
MUSICIANS

/ Sevenfy-fTve talented German
Jewish youths, some of them res
cUed from Nad concentration
camps, are being taken from the
Greater Reich this year and trans
ported TO Palestine, where a new
life win open for them. They will
join the 400 students at the Pal
esfine Conservatoire of Music, be
enabled to complete their studies
and make a contribution to the
music of Palestine and the world.
These students are entering Pal
estine under special imnigra-
ton quota granted to the Con-
servatoire by the Palestinian Gov
eminent Many Of them destitute,
they viii receive free tuition and
maintenance for the duration of
their two-year course. Now the
news has come that the Govern
ment viii also allocate entry GER
tIficates for Polish Jewish music
students.
For their rescue the young mu-
Sicians have to thank a famous
musician who visited Palestine
seven years ago and became so
impressed with the Holy Lands
music potentiaHties that he found
ed the COnservatoire. That musi-
clan is Emil Hauser. who is now
visiting the United States to slim
ulate interest in the Palestine
music school.
As q result Of Hauser's visit
there has been formed the Asso-
citation Of the American Friends
OF the Palestine Conservatoire of
Music, which lists among its pat
rons' and artists committee such
musical lights as John Barbirolli

FIRST ARMY PLANE

It is just 80 years since General James
mally approved the purchase for the
United States Army of its first airplane,
built by the Wright brothers in their small
shop in Dayton, o. go
The modest specifications for this
plane are interesting for purposes of COM
parison with the giant war planes of the
present The contract called for heavier
than air machine, capable of carrying two
passengers with sufficient fuel for flight
of 125 miles, and able to remain aloft an
hour with this load. It was also required
that it should have a speed of not less than
40 miles an hour.
In its tests at Fort Myer, Va, the
plane actually attained speed of AZ
miles an hour, and it remained in the air
l hour and II minutes, then a world rec
ord. The final acceptance test was made
over smile course along the Potomac,
marked by captive balloons, on July 30,
1909. It was accepted by the Army on
August 2.
This pioneer plane, now in the muse
um of the Smithsonian Institution, appears
crude indeed in comparison with the new
fighting machines with speeds of more
than 400 miles an hour.
The 30th anniversary Of the first
military plane was observed with APP
propriate ceremonies and aerial exhibit
tons by the Army air force, centering at
Wright Field in Dayton, but including ex-
hibitions at various military air bases.

PEOPLES FORUM


Editor, The Citizen:
In the Miami Herald of the 5th
instant, under a Key West date
line of Aug. 4th, the Herald
Bureau of this city quotes as
follows:
"Sam B. Pinder, tax assessor,
is in q quandary. Under the old
charter real estate in the city
was assessed at so per cent of its
face valuation. The new charter
makes compulsory 100 per cent
assessment.
Section So of the old charter
states that "all property shall be
assessed at its full cash value"
Section So of the new charter
states that "all property shall be
assessed at its full cash value"
From the foregoing it is evil
dent that the method of assess
ment is identical in both charters,
and could not possibly place Mr..
Pinder in a quandary.
The statement is an unwar-
ranted aspersion on Mr.. Finders
intelligence.

ARE you HELPING KEY wEsT2

Quite number of men who like to re-
gard themselves as stalwart citizens of Key
West and staunch defenders of the rights
and privileges of the little man. in keep
ing body and soul together are plain,
everyday takers. These takers occupy
prominent positions on the public side
walks and just talk about what should or
should not be done about this or that. They
talk grandly and PROFOUND grandoise solu-
tons to every problem confronting the city.
Some of them have the idea that mere
vocal volume solves every question; so the
loud talker is regarded by many as the
great-grandfather of Wisdom.
The trouble is, of course, these men
are just takers. They are not doors. They
wait until the doors bring something out
into the open where they can pounce upon
it like a cat on mouse. They play with
the ideas advanced by the doors and grad
ually, ruthlessly and completely tear those
ideas to pieces. While destroying the new
ideas these takers do not advance any
thing constructive to take their place
IF it was me, I'd tell them where to
goI"
Next time they ask me to pay taxes
I'll tell them where to- go!"
Il wouldn't give them red cent?
What right have they got to tell us
what to do?'
I'VE know how to run our city with
out them!"
With such adamant remarks the talk
ers dismiss all proposals designed to help
the city of Key West. They are against
everything and everyone. They do moth
ing themselves and resent anyone who tries
to do something They know all the wrong
answers and tell you the right way how
NOT to do anything.
It is time Key Westers quit listening
to such false prophets. It is time for
sincere Key Westers to join the parade of
honest, Woodworking, civic-spirited citi-
zens trying to do something through the
various civic, religious, fraternal and
patriotic organizations of the city. Every
man interested in the future and the de-
velopment of Key West should join some
organization striving to build strong
foundation for this city's growth and pros
perity.
The Chamber of Commerce, the
Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary
Club, the Lions Club, the American Legion
post, the Citizens & Taxpayers group. the
Stone Church Service Club, the Key West
Yacht Club, the Elks Club, the Cuban
Club, the Marti Club-these are all worth
while organizations with worthwhile civic
aims and detectives. Everyone should join
one or more of these groups working for
Key West for the benefit of all Key
Westers.
Quit talking-do something!
