OUTLINING PLANS
FOR MARCH OF
Dimes CAMPAIGN
DIR. GALLEY CHAIRMAN OF
LOCAL INFANTILE PARAL-
YSIS BENEFIT EVENT ON
JANUARY 80

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. TO-
Thousands upon thousands of
dimes will deluge the White
House in Washington on January
80, the Presidents Birthday, as a
result of the %March of Dimes"
campaign in this state.
Sixty-seven County Chairmen,
including DR.. H. c. Galley, Key
West, are making their plans now
for the campaign, which will be
launched Immediately, according
to w. T. Edwards, State Chair
man of the Infantile Paralysis
Campaign and Celebration of the
Presidents Birthday.
Eddie Cantor, the master show
man, is the inventor Of this
March of Dimes" campaign.
The plan is a simple one. 1t
provides for the distribution of a
small card, which will contain
ten dimes. These dimes will be
mailed to the President at the
White House, where a public ac-
countant will audit them and see
to it that every county is given
credit for the contribution and
SO per cent will be returned to
the county to be used by the per-
manent chapter in that county.
These dime cards will be dis
tributed by the County Chairmen
and his committee at luncheon
clubs, social gatherings, fraternal
meetings, office buildings, fac
tories, stores and other places of
! business.
Today there are 100000 victims
of infantile paralysis in the
United States, and this campaign
throughout the nation is carried
on in an effort to care for them
and at the same time to find new
scientific ways and means of
fighting the disease.
Colin English, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, has
accepted the Craftsmanship of the
March of Dimes" campaign in
the schools of Florida, and will
work in cooperation with the
Sixty-Seven chairmen.

SEARS ROEBUCK
ANGLERS TRY
ISLAND WATERS
ANNUAL FISH TRIP MADE TO
KEY WEST FINDS SUCCESS
Full USE OF BUCKET"
TRICK ON NOVICE

Saturday, Irving Klein of
Brooklyn, N. Y, returned to Mi
ami from a 11-day fishing trip to
Key West. December %, Klein
left the Gulf Fishing Docks on
the fishing cruiser "Hy-Ball',
with Capt. Jesse o. Hyden. He
had as MS guests Nathan Robins,
E. A. Schmidt, F. T. Fitzgibbon,
j. w. Owens, all of Chicago, and
Julius H. Fancy, Greenburg,
Pa. These men are connected
with Sears Roebuck and Co. and
each year Mr.. Klein has them on
a trip to Bimini or the Keys.
DR.. D. Drespal met them in Key
West and fished with them. They
had planned to go to Dry Tortu-
gas but found so many fish in
Key West waters and were having
such wonderful time, they
stayed here. They got plenty of
barracuda, grouper, amberjack
and a 4OO-pound Jewish, besides
small fish.
Each year the highlight of the
trip is to have one of the novices
in the party catch a bucket or
pail fish. This happened to MIR.
Fancy this trip. After struggling
with the pail an hour with much
advice from all on board, who
were all in on the joke, imagine
his surprise to see pail come up
instead of a whale of a big fish.
Each year Mr.. Klein takes
movies of this trip. He showed
them to his guests and the crew
of the 'Hy-Balr' the night be-
fore they went on the trip at the
Edge Water Beach Hotel.

MAKE REPORT ON
Aid FOR BLIND
81 PERSONS IN MONROE
COUNTY RECEIVED BENE-
FITS DURING DECEMBER
tspec,aI to The Citizen

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 8. -
Monroe County like every other
county in the state, profited by
the Florida Aid to the Blind pro-
gram, during the calendar year
1888.
December checks were mailed
mailed to 81 recipients in Mon
roe County for an aggregate sum
of $1,529.00, according to official
announcement of the State We'll
fare Board today.
January of last year marked
the Inauguration of the program,
with checks for the month being
mailed to At recipients. Each sue
ceeding month found the number
of beneficiaries and the amount
disbursed increased. December
checks were mailed to 2,2l4 per-
sons for an aggregate total of
$32,333. The average grant was
$14.60.
Florida led all the states of the
Union with the exception of
Maine in the number of persons
in proportion to population bene-
fitting from this form of public
assistance. The speed with which
the program was put into effect,
following the approval of the
state plan by the Social Security
Board, has won the commenda-
tons not only of beneficiaries but
also of the welfare agencies of
other commonwealth.

HIGHWAY OBSTACLE REMOVED

At long last, Monroe county has
reached an agreement with R. c. Perky
whereby he gives 2OO-foot strip of land
through all his properties from Dade
county to Key West to be used for extern
sion of Overseas highway and for water
pipeline via the old road bed and viaducts
of the Florida East Coast railroad.
The cost involved in reaching this set
Element is high, but under the circum-
stances there seemed no other way to set
tie the differences with Perky He de-
manded complete cancellation of back
taxes totaling around 100000 under the
Murphy act. This will cost the county ap-
proximately $3,750-an expenditure that
might have been avoided had the countys
legal lights properly examined the docu
ments under which the Florida East Coast
railroad sold its properties on the Florida
Keys for 100000 of public funds. Ex-
animation of the railroads rights would
have revealed that some ten miles of the
old railroad right of way reverted to Perky
when the railroad ceased Key West opera
TONS
Perky still keeps his finger in the
highway pie under the tentative agree
ment reached by the county commission
Monday night. Perky will retain title to
the right of way while he settles claim
he alleges against the American Telegraph
& Telephone company, which uses his
property for telephone line. This re-
striction becomes void when actual con-
struction of the highway begins, but the
county's attorneys should be absolutely
certain none of the clauses contain any
jokers under which Perky or anyone else
can pry any additional money out of the
county for extension of the highway and
for construction of the water pipeline.
1t is we'll that the contract with Perky
must be approved by the state road de-
partment before it is signed. The road de-
partment in all probability will handle
construction of the remaining units of the
highway over the railroad land and via
ducts, thus eliminating all of the narrow
wooden bridges and dangerous curves and
dips in the old county road. The legal adj
visers of the state road department may
be expected to make careful study of the
provisions of the contract to protect the
public against further loss of taxes or eX-
penditures for projects that will benefit
Perky more than anyone else.
If the contract is finally signed there
will be no further cause for delay by the
state road department in pushing extern
sion of the highway particularly between
Big Pine Key and Key West. This stretch
carries the bulk of the wooden bridges and
dangerous curves-and until these are eli
minated Key West cannot grow and ex-
pand into great tourist center.

Every progressive movement has its
advantages and disadvantages affecting
some people. The Eastern route of the
Pan-American highway, first advocated by
The Citizen many years ago, will detract
considerable tourist business from Florida
in the years to come. The republics to the
South of us will be the gamer, and Mexico,
because of its proximity to the United
States, particularly, will be advantageously
affected The Land of the Montezumas
has the climate and many natural ad-
vantages besides. 1t has lofty mountains,
several perennially snow-capped and beau
tiful valleys. In certain portions of Mexico
the scenery has more grandeur and
majesty than any other portion of the
world. The Pan-American highway is not
entirely completed but when once offered
to the travelling public, thousands of
tourists whose Mecca was Florida, will
succumb to the lure of the temptress far
Their south.

Il regret so much that l did not
plan to spend more time in Key
West than l did on this trip, for
it certainly looks good to me-,
said DR.. William J. Mayo of the
Mayo Brothers Clinic of Roches-
ter, N. Y, Minnesota and other
cities who was visiting yester-
day on his arrival from the city
of Havana. DR.. Mayo spent a
time in Havana and attended a
meeting of the Pan-American
Medical association. He was met
on his arrival in Key West by DR..
Adolfo Aragon, physician to the
local Cuban Consulate, who had
been cabled by the Cuban Gov
eminent to greet the noted surg
con on his arrival. Although the
boat arrived at o'clock, DR.. Ara
gom took the noted surgeon for
a short sightseeing trip before
the departure of the train, and
they visited the boulevard and
other places of interest. DR.. Mayo
was so interested that he started
to plan a more extended visit that
he proposes to take at some time
in the latter part of this year.
Bringing back with him his
commission as county clerk,
which he received in Tallahassee,

very interesting account of his
trip and the Inauguration of Gov
ernor Carlton. The Key West
display, he said, showed up well
among the numerous other corps
and bands that were in the pag-
cant and the Banner created a
great deal of interest. He ex-
pressed himself as being grateful
to Governor Martin and other of
ficialS in Tallahassee, who had
shown him so much considera-
ton and extended numerous
courtesies in connection with his
mission there.
Chancellor Miguel Valdes Mon
talvo, of the local Cuban consul

template leaving Key West about
February / enroute to Italy. Be-
fore coming to Key West, Mr.
Valdes had been an attache to the
Cuban legation in Paris, France,
since 1916. He says he has spent
much time in Italy and that he
will be glad of the opportunity of
locating there.
