Public spending has reached a point
where no one man, in spite of his best eff.
forts and intentions, can call halt. A
halt can only be called if at all, when the
public wills it. And unless the public
wills it, the country faces national bank
ruptcy. That is the plain unvarnished
truth!

KEY WEST IN DAYS" GONE BY
Happenings Here just Ten Years Ago Today A. Taken
+'F; Froni The File. Of The Citizen ~

Senator Fletcher, with his bill
looking forward toward estab-
fishing a National Park, has in
augurated a movement that will
transform a state liability into
the greatest asset the state has.
1t is worthy of note that if this
area is converted into a National
Park it will be the only tidewa-
ter National Park in the United
States. What this would mean
to Key West, the nearest port to
the park, it is difficult to esti-
mate at this time. It is stated
that 100000 people visit the ma
tional parks annually. If only
one-sixth of this number were to
visit the winter paradise at Cape
Sable and were to spend only
two weeks in the state and limit
their expenditures to three dol
lars a day, the people in Florida
would have new income of $751;
0O0.0 every year. Unsuited to
economic development this Sec
ton of the state, about $50 square
miles, it eminently is suited to
preserve to mankind and all flu
ture generations, the unique
charm of Tropical Florida, charms
that are doomed to disappear,
without able and competent au-
thority to maintain them ), un-
spoiled. "The big thing is that
we cam, it is said, IF this be-
comes a national project, invite
the world to share in our enjoy
ment of Florida out-of-doors, with
the assurance that the things we
enjoy will be destroyed by the
hosts that will come in response
to our invitation.
While out fishing the other
day, Billie Warren won nice
prize for landing a nice one, then
it turned out to be not a fish.
After hours of tugging, Billie
was advised by person in an
other boat, Give me what is on
that line and / will give you a
silver spoon bait". Billie agreed
to the offer and started hauling
when the catch began to come
up. In high spirits and !expectan-
cy, Billie continued to haul in the
line, thinking that a catch which
would make them sit up and take
notice was ON the tackle. At last
the coveted climax came, but
emulation ceased, for the only
thing on the hook was a frazzled
old garment labelled B.V.D.

 STUDY ISSUES
Calm Consideration of
 Neutrality Act Revision r Urged By League

Calm consideration of the issues involved in the revision of the neu- trality act now pending in Congress, is. urged by the Connecticut League of Women Voters. While the organ ization, headed by Miss Katharine Ludington of Old Lyme, is engaged in vigorous effort in Connecticut to persuade the senators and repre- sentatives of this state to vote for repeal of the embargo and substitu- tion of safeguards to commerce as provided in the leash and carry" proposals, the Connecticut League, in statement otday, urged its sev- eral thousand members to foster calm consideration of the issues in- volved.
 Miss Ludington made public @ brief plea by Miss Marguerite Wells, president of the National League of Women Voters, which she said states exactly the position of the Connecti- cut League, and which she regards as good advice for these times. We can get into this war whether we want to or not, if we lose our heads and cease thinking" Miss Wells statement said. we can keep out if we want to, if we remain calm and think straight.
 Nothing that is done or left un- done about ths Neutrality Act need get us into war. Nothing that Con- gress does or does not do to it can ensure our keeping out.

For more than 80 years Mrs. Stroup has sought the answer to this question: "Who am IF"
 The aged woman may never know her true identity, but at the age of 86 she is still seeking to pierce the mystery that veils her abandonment here.
 She has spent many years in a diligent search for a clew to her real name. Mrs. Stroup knows that she was brought from Eng land by a woman, named Ellen Dorney, who represented herself as Sarah's mother, but who un- doubtedly was her nurse.
 Ellen Dorney brought with her to this country also another child, little boy, who greatly resembled her and who, she said, was her son.
 The EngIshwoman had come to America following her husbands death, so the story goes, to visit her sisters, Mary and Margaret. It was learned later that 8 brother in-law, William Park Dorney, had sent her money for the voyage. When Mrs. Dorney reached Hillsboro, where Margaret lived. she learned her sister had become a widow and had taken her three children and joined Mary in Indi- ana.
 Upon learning this fact, the nurse returned to the rail depot to take 8 train to that state.
 At the station little Sarah baked and cried out that she did not want to go with her. The wo- man, according to the conductor, @ MT. Clark, turned and shouted:
 Whoever wants this child can have her! I don't want to be botll- cred any more.
 Pushing the child from her. the woman boarded the train with her son and vanished from the little girls life.
 The abandoned child soon won the hearts of Hillsboro's residents and four women came forward to see to the waif's upbringing. They paid 8 motherly widow, a Mrs Harper, to care for Sarah Dorney, as she came to be called.
 Mrs. Harper moved from here to find work, Sarah following. Sarah then returned here when 10 years old and took work on the farm of James Stroup near here. She mar ried her employers son, John, and lived happily for 37 years. Upon his death, she returned to Hillsboro
 She said she had talked with Ellen Dorney's sisters, Mary and Margaret, ''but they refused to tell me anything, except that FL len had remarried and moved tc some place in Missouri. Then lost all trace of them" 1 Prof. Isaac Sans, noted edu- cator of his day, who came from | Bath. England. and settled in

Settlement Looms
 In Guilfoile Case
Former Mayor, Luciano SantOrO May Adjust Differ
 ences in Suit, Counter Suit Over Fees

The case of Former Mayor Francis P. Guilfoile against Luciano Santoro and a counter suit by Mir. Santoro against the former mayor were re- stunned in the Superior Court today before Judge John A. Cornell.
 Both cases followed a criminal charge made by MT. Santoro that Attorney Guilfoile has appropriated $l 800 of a judgement received by MT. Santoro to his own use.
 Attorney Guilfoile testified yester- day that the $500 was due him as a fee and that MT. Santoro owed him much more money. He stated that he had appeared nine times before the Connecticut Supreme Court for MT. Santoro and four times before the Superior Court and received verdict of $6,500.
 Today's proceedings involved the cross examination of Atty. Guilfoile by Atty. William Gager, counsel for MT. Santoro. The main point involv- ed was the right of an attorney to sign a check made out to a defend- ant in settlement of case.
 Atty. William K. Lawlor, counsel for the ex-mayor claimed that it is regular procedure and entirely legal for an attorney to so do. He set forth that an attorney in getting the check acts as collector and that the attorney has a lien on money that comes into his hands and is entitled to be paid for his immediate services and for other balances due and is entitled to pay himself.
 A conference between the attor- neys and Judge Corroll was being held during the noon hour recess. There was a question as to whether a settlement will be reached in the case.
