The first leasing we have any
knowledge of was done by George
Walker who lived on the now W. d.

company. Every few years some
body leases an acreage here. Sew

RESEARCH PAvES WAY OF PROGRESS

A yarn that looks like wool, feels like
wool and wears like wool. 1t even smells
like wool when it burns. But it's made
from mix.
Wooden spectacles? Yes, wooden
spectacles. The lenses are made of plastic
"glass," new non-breakable product that
is clearer than glass and can be ground,
cut or nodded. And it is made of coal, air
and wood.
Another synthetic glass is the cold
light tube that can pick up light at one end
and carry it through to the other while the
tube remains cold.
All the above things just dreams?
No. All of them are being exhibited in
the PrevieWs of Progress Auditorium of
the General Motors exhibit at the New
York Worlds Fair. There, on an ingenious
revolving stage, are presented the Won
ders of today that are likely to become a
vital part of our daily lives in the World
of Tomorrow. Yarn from milk can be ex-
pected on the market soon; plastic are
Just now being introduced to the public,
and cold-hght tubing may brighten the
homes of tomorrow with decorative eff
fectS.
There is never dull moment to this
dramatic stage presentation, and it is as
colorful as anything to be found on the
carnival midway. 1t is a visual demon
stration of what science has done, is doing
and more important, must yet do in the
days to come.
New products, in creating new jobs,
points out Auditorium Director Ernest L..
Foss, do not bring about unemployment in
other industries. Rather, they stimulate
research in those industries, research that
eventually results in other new products
and other new jobs. As Mr.. Foss ex-
presses it. each new invention, each new
discovery, begets another. and paves the
way for mankind's progress.

TOURIST TRADE is TICKLE

A year ago everything seemed shap-
ing in Key Vests favor. The city had en-
joyed large volume of free publicity.
Tourists, pleasure seekers and winter va
cationists were Key West conscious. Busi-
ness was generally good, real estate trans
fers showed a marked increase and the
future looked rosy.
Now the bottom seems to have drop
ped out of the economic bucket. Business
is stagnant. There are no buyers for the
bargain property offerings here. A num-
Der of our people have been thrown out OF
work. The charter boatmen report the
poorest business in years.
Everyone believes the two world fairs
responsible for the sudden slump in tourist
travel and trade. There is no denying
they are powerful factors, but other cities
depending on such trade appear to be pros
pering to some extent. 1t is natural to ask
why this should be so.
The answer, The Citizen feels, is to
be found in the attitude toward proper and
continuing publicity here and elsewhere.
Smart tourist centers step up their pub
licity budgets when the economic going
gets rough. They try to attract people to
their cities by constant appeal to those
who don't want to spend their vacations at
the sweltering New York worlds fair, or
do not care to travel to the Pacific coast
to see San Francisco's spectacle. In short,
other tourist centers realize the value of
tourist trade and go after it. They do not
fold their hands and wait for the business
to come to them.
It is time Monroe county came to the
realization of the Importance of publicity.
It is time to consider plan whereby the
city, the county, the Overseas Road and
Toll Bridge District and our civic organ
izations combined their resources, combed
the area for publicity brains and coop
Grated in a well thought out, well ex-
ecuted program advertising our highway
approach from the mainland, our fishing
grounds, our climate, sunshine and the
kindly trade winds, our atmosphere and
our other natural and civic assets.
Tourist trade is tickle. 1t usually. fol-
lows the crowd. Our job is to make them
Key West conscious, thus adding to the toll
district revenues, the prosperity of our
businessmen and. the happiness of our un-
employed. Scores of tourist centers have
proved that sound publicity pays. How
much longer are our public and civic Of
ficials going to watch idly on the sidelines
while the tourist trade goes elsewhere?
