THANKSGIVING MIX-UP

Although not matter of great inn
portance, the decision of President Roose-
Welt to proclaim November'23 as Thanks
giving Day, instead of the traditional last
Thursday in the month, has created con-
siderable confusion, especially with re-
spect to football schedules and calendar
printers.
The reason given for the change is to
allow a longer interval to elapse between
Thanksgiving and Christmas, in the in
terest of retail trade, which is no doubt de-
sirable. 1t is the Presidents action that
has caused the confusion. a.s.aa
Such confusion could be avoided in
future by designating the date of Thanks
giving by statute, instead of leaving it to
the discretion of the President. President
Washington proclaimed the first Thanks
giving since the adoption of the Constitu-
ton, and designated November &c, 1888,
which was the fourth and also the last
Thursday in November of that year. Lin
coin designated November %, 1864, which
was also the fourth and last Thursday.
His successor, President Johnson, desig-
mated November 80, 1865, which was the
fifth and last Thursday, and the last
Thursday has been designated as the ma
tienal Thanksgiving day ever since, until
this year.
President Roosevelt himself desig-
mated the fifth Thursday, November 80, in
1888, his first year in office. Governors
of the several states are not bound by the
proclamation of the President, but in re-
cent years have conformed to it. In some
states the last Thursday is designated by
statute.
A recent check-up is said to show
that this year % governors will stick to
the last Thursday, November 80; % viii
follow the President in designating No
vember %, while in three states-Colo-
RADIO, Texas and Mississippi dates
viii be observed.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY

Key West and Monroe County have
been offered fine opportunity to acquire
an airport for commercial and military
use at virtually no cost to the taxpayers.
AS outlined before county, city and
civic leaders at the Chamber of Commerce
Saturday, the plan is for the county to get
possession of section of Geiger Key or
some other available land near Key West;
I for the city to get back of municipal air
port development with the land repre-
senting it's share of the sponsorship fund,
and for the WPA, in cooperation with the
state, to make the necessary improve
ments.
The plan was worked out after Major
H. A. Craig, U. S. A, commander OF the
21st army air corps reconnaissance squad
ron now based at Miami; Capt. Jack Price,
U. S. reserve officer director of aviation
for the city of Miami, and Mayor Carl
Adams of Miami Springs, aviation en-
thusiast, had been invited here to confer
with our public and civic officials.
County officials Immediately went
into action by arranging for photo
graphic survey of Geiger Key and other
possible airport areas. AS soon as the
aerial pictures are ready they will be
studied by aviation experts and engineers
to pick out the most likely spot for two
crossed 3500-foot runways, the minimum
required by the large commercial and
military airplanes. erla
After the land is acquired, and state
law permits condemnation of such land for
aviation purposes, the county can offer it
in cooperation with the city as contri-
button toward a WPA-state project. There
is every indication the airport facilities
and some of the land for hangers and
other works would be leased to the army
air corps.
Every Key Wester will laud and back
this proposal 1t solves many problems,
opens up many avenues for future bust
ness and military activity in the area. 1t
keeps the land at head of the island for de-
velopment as a residential district and on
the tax rolls; it saves partial destruction of
beautiful Stock Island for proposed air
field; materially reduces the cost of land
and development of the land for an air
port and gives Key West an airport far
enough away from our homes to cut out
the nuisance elements of aviation activi-
ties.
The Citizen hopes our city, county
and civic officials do not forget this prof.
ect in the rush of other activities. This
project is too important, too vital to the
future of the city to neglect. It is project
that will help put Key West back in the
forefront of progressive Florida cities.
