Griffin Fuel
Wins by So

Griffin Fuel, unearthly slow at
the start of the season, was given
a good chance today to do ex-
actly what the tortoise did to the
hare. a tale everyone is familiar
with.
The Fuelmen had an obscure
role in the first few weeks of the
ice hockey season, Flooding along
like plowhorse. Then there
were the Alt Heidelbergs. winning
right and left and, with few ex-
ceptions, not stopping until they
had captured first place.
As the season progressed,
Griffin Fuel got stronger and
stronger. and victories were
frequent, Last night at the
Lakewood ice arena, the Fuel
men surmounted another
hurdle by defeating Mcdo-
sweet Dairy, SO. In an over
time playoff game.
Via this long uphill climb, the
persistent Fuelmen vaulted into
the championship series with the
Ait Heidelbergs. Not only that,
but Griffen Fuel has an even
chance of winning the three-game
series which begins next Wednes-
day night.
In an exhibition contest. the
Heidelbergs defeated Cammarano
Brothers, 1877.

RADICAL TO DICTATOR

Mussolini's evolution from a fierce
radical and Socialist into an advocate of
totalitarian government and the suppress
sion of individual freedom is a striking ex-
ample of how mems thoughts and actions
may change through force of circum-
stances.
AS a young man, Mussolini was a
violent agitator, and in 1909 he was SEN
tenced to jail fer smashing ballot box,
but escaped to Switzerland. Allowed to
return to Italy later, he became editor of
rabid Socialist newspaper, and once served
five months in prison for his incendiary
utterances.
After his release he resumed his work
as an editor, and the Christian Science
Monitor recently quoted paragraph from
one of his editorials, written in 1912, as
follows:
Imagine an Italy in which sc mil
lions should all think the same as though
their brains were made in an identical
mold, and you would have madhouse, or
rather, a kingdom of utter boredom or i'm
becility."
Only 10 years later, in 1922, Mus
solini became dictator of Italy. and ever
since has used his power to make all
Italians ''think the same;" in other words,
as he would have them think.
1t is not reasonable to believe that the
Italian people as a whole relish their situa-
ton, but the power of Mussolini is such
that they appear helpless, as Germans UNI
der Hitler and Russians under Stain are
ject submission can be maintained.

Barcelona, nest of anarchists, Com
munists and recalcitrants, has been cap
tured by General Frances insurgents. The
inhabitants of Catalonia, of which the city
and province of Barcelona is part, are a
bit uppish and while acknowledging them
selves Spaniards always expressed the ad-
mission by adding-''but a Catalan" Like
saying Il am an American, but Souther-
ner," with the difference that Catalan
speaks distinctive dialect, while the
Southerner has only the distinction of
speaking his native tongue with a soft ac-
cent.

PEOPLES FORUM


next town or to some store be-
yond the parking limit. The
same rule applies to toll roads
and bridges. We try to avoid,
and are mighty successful at it,
all places that beg us to come and
charge us for coming. For two
years we have wanted to come
via Panama City; l wrote them
that when they provided a free
road for me to travel would
visit their city. Only the toll on
the Overseas have l been willing
to pay because, so far it is not
unreasonable but what the
future will bel wonder. Like
the fish in the sea tourists are
too often considered legitimate
prey, but once hooked they are
hard to hook again. My advice
to to those that cater to the
tourist is to take and be satisfied
with a fair profit and to bear in
mind that it is not the tourist
that lives at the best hotels that
brings the most profit to your
town-they wouldn't wear clothes
purchased in these common stores
their trunks are filled before
they start for Key West and
their hotel buys their furnishings
and supplies wholesale out side;
instead it is the medium priced
tourist that pays and is the least
mentioned or considered - he
buys milk from your dairy,
groceries from your groceryman,
fish from your fish markets as
we'll as vegetables, dry goods
from your stores as well as shoes
and clothing, etc. etc. l question
if the average tourist that comes
here for the winter can get by
for as little as $500 per day, be-
fore he leaves in the spring he
has left you quite a sum. 1t seems
to me that Key Vests future is
as tourist rendezvous, be salts
fled with a fair profit and do not
soak us too much to get here, in
fact put yourselves in the other
fellows shoes.
Now about Identification: The
other day we visited a few
minutes with one of your citizens
and tax payers. He was mourn
ing the fact that cocoanut palms
had been planted along the
boulevards instead of royal poin-
cianas. The fact remains that if
you are going to make Key West
a tourist town cater to them.
Where is the tourist that ever
sees a poinciana in bloom. The
cocoanut palm is unique and ever
interesting to the tourist. Sup
pose the roadway between the
keys was lined on either side
with cocoanut palms, could Key
West possibly have a better
slogan than follow the cocoanut
palm to the cocoanut city,.
Another good slogan is welcome
the hand that feeds YOU"
Many tourists will come to
your town of the would be type"
that barely made the grade, who
win be a poor neighbor here as
he was at home however the
bulk of your transients will prove
acceptable. Do not judge us by
the ''poor neighbor kind" any
more than We would judge you
by the type of fellow, whether
white or colored, that accosted
my wife and a lady from Yer
mont in front of the city hall
yesterday for money to buy soup
with, likely whiskey; wherever
goes the tourist, parasites, in
many forms follow and it is up to
the city to curb these parasites,
whether they advertise with big
signs as we saw along the high
way coming into Key West or the
degraded bum.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM

AS a reader of your paper I
congratulate you on your edi-
torials. Your recent editorial on
the relation of the tourist to the
people, and / add, the exception
ally fine people, of Key West and
visa versa. Your view is broad
and intelligent and surely cor
rect. AS new people come into
your midst, whether owners or
renters, they will naturally de-
mand to be heard and rightfully
they should be. However l do
hope that they will not change
the spirit and friendliness of
your people. The lust for gold
has corrupted many good people
let us hope that as Key West
welcomes us outsiders to the
newest tourist city that she will
keep her chin up and let the
money changers know that her
soul is not for sale.
Would you care to hear from
tourist that liked Key West well
enough to come the second Win
ter from far away Oregon. How
ever I hope I am not the kind
that wishes to pick flaws with
you; my suggestions I hope will
be taken in the spirit intended
which is constructive and not as
the one to accuse your merchants
of selling spoiled food.
1t is your own people that are
going to be hardest to change,
for haven't they always parked
their car out in the streets and
haven't they lived here for a
hundred years without a street
sweeper, haven't the dogs always
hoWled and the cars made their
pleasant 3 a. m. to say nothing
about the hordes of cats that
chime in on the midnight party.
You are very right in your noise
crusade. No other city that I
know of permits the noise that
goes ons,in Key West: in most
cities, even the trains are, forced,
to pull lightly on the whistle at.
night. We live on Margaret
street; tho I like dogs, the howl
ing and barking of dogs that has
been going on here nightly of
late to say nothing of the cat par
ties is out of reason. Then about
$3.50 a. m. every morning one of
those cars you mention, races
through apparently to see how
much noise he can make. Most
of the people that come as tour
lists are middle aged or past
light sleepers-quite naturally
they resent so much noise. My
suggeStion,-place a license of
$500 on dogs and $500 on bitches
like other cities do and mean it.
Get a dog catcher if you have to
import one and clean up your
town and why not include the
hordeS of cats at the same time
you might have a wild bird stop
to winter in Key West too, be-
sides clearing UP another noise.
You are right also that anyone
that can buy gasoline for a car
can put a muffler on it.
Now about parking meters.
First | would suggest that many
of the merchants that drive their
cars to their places of business
could help the congested condi-
ton of the business streets by
parking them a block or two
away instead of all day before
their store and reserve that dead
space for some car that wishes to
trade. We travelled nearly 5000
miles this year before reaching
Key West; nearly every day we
stopped some place along the
way to get what food we needed,
as we aim to stay at tourist
camps, when we ran into a town
that charged us for trading with
them, after begging us to come
their way, we went on to the
