GREETINGS. MR.. cANNoNi

Our Congressional Representative. A.
Patrick Cannon, more familiarly known as
Congressman Pat Cannon, has been a busy
man the last few months. He has been up at
Washington representing the Fourth Flor.
ida Congressional District. He is vacation
ing now the hard way. He is visiting his
constituents to give an accounting of him.
self and to find out what his district thinks
about things. That is why he is scheduled
to be in Key West today.
Congressman Pat Cannon seems to
have acquitted himself very well at Wash
ington. He was smart enough to realize
that>the newcomer in Congress is given lit
tie opportunity to touch off any oratorical
pyrotechnics. Pat Cannon wisely refrain
ed from talking too much on the floor OF
the House. He preferred the more effec-
tive if less spectacular way of boring from
within the committees I'd which he was as
signed.
The people of Monroe county seem to
like Pat Cannon. Because they like him,
they are going to dump a lot of their trou-
bles in his ample lap The way of the man
who can get things done is hard in Key
West He'll have to work harder than
ever before to make up for the neglect that
has pushed Key West down into the eco
nomic dumps
Our people will want to know about
the future OF the naval station, the subma-
rine base, the loW-rental housing program,
the intracoastal waterway, the water line
to the mainland, extension of Overseas
highway, the possibilities for an auxiliary
naval air base, the sponge propagation
project, establishing Martello Towers as ma
tional monuments-oh, lot of things like
that.
No one man can beSexpected to pro-
vide the answers to all such questions, to
bring about effective and tangible action
in these vital Key West and Monroe Coun-
ty matters. But in all probability Pat
Cannon will do the best he can to help the
people of this area. He has demonstrated
his willingness to work for the people of
this county as well as the other sections of
his district. If we help him do this job
undoubtedly much will be accomplished.
Welcome again to Key West, Con-
gresham Cannon! We hope you take
some time off to enjoy the fishing and the
hospitality of this neighborhood. All work
and no play makes even congressman
dull boy. Welcome!

new ARRIVAL in
ROBERTS FAMILY

Will E. P. Roberts, member of
city council, and Mrs. Roberts are
the happy parents of a daughter
born in their home, 815 Southland
street, at 2:45 o'clock this morn

The baby weighed seven and a
half pounds, and both the baby
and Mrs. Roberts are reported as
doing very nicely.
Mr.. Roberts met The Citizen at
an early hour this morning, an
nounced the new arrival and stat
ed that he was exceedingly hap
ply as their first child was a boy,
and his hopes were realized when
he received the announcement
that the baby was a girl.
Today is also the 29th anniver-
sary of the marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stanley Key mother of Mrs.
Roberts, so while celebrating the
birth of the granddaughter, they
will also celebrate their happy
years of married life.

TAKE A HOME VACATION

Vacations spent at home may do more
good than rush trip to some resort.
1t is common occurrence for holiday
seekers to return from their annual vaca-
ton wearier than when they left their
homes. The rush and turmoil of many
crowded vacation schedules will not do a
worker as much good, as the same amount
of time spent loafing and idling around the
home.
Especially is this true if the tired
business man has to take with him fl
nancial worries and perplexities about the
money to pay the bills.
Somehow, most of US in Key West
have the idea that vacation cannot be
vacation without trip away from home.
We have lost sight of the primary purpose
of these annual holidays, designed and in
tended to give the body and mind period
OF rest and relaxation from the strain of
the usual life.

TOO MUCH FREEDOM

Editor, The Citizen:
Recent tragedy in Dade County
when two Miami girls fell victims
to a sex-crazed criminal should
be a warning to our younger fe-
male generation.
Looking into the pathetic Incl
dent which proved fatal to one
and a narrowing experience ito
the other, cannot help but feel
that the blame should not rest
on the shoulders of these two
girls, because being in their teens
they knew little about what was
right or wrong for them. How
ever, present-day parents are in
clined to be too liberal with their
children. Mothers of these girls
should never have allowed their
daughters to leave home on such
a mission especially without a
chaperonage.
Most boys and girls of today
are given unrestrained freedom
to make decisions in the matters
of late hours, liquor and ways of
entertainment.
Incidents parallel to the Miami
tragedy are happening all over
our country today simply because
they have no one to guide them
and keep them in the right path.
An excerpt taken from the
August issue of Mademoiselle IL

PROGRESS ON KEYS

Private investors have spent approx
mately $237,00O in development of their
properties on Florida keys between Lower
Matecumbe and Big Pine Key since the
start or work on Improvement of Overseas
Highway, says writer in the Miami News.
When the Overseas Highway is COM
pleted on the old railroad bed and Via
ducts and when fresh water is piped
across the keys to Key West, it is believed
great deal more money will be spent in
additional private improvement.
According to the writer, the present
developers of the keys do not expect COM
pletion of the program before 1914 or
1945. but they are acquiring land and
water rights for extensive developments
as soon as they see the projects well to-
ward completion.
One man is said to stand ready to
spend about 100000 in real estate de-
velopment at Marathon The list of build
ing permits for Marathon, as detailed in

BY unanimous vote, with four
of the five members present, the
board of county commissioners
last night in special meeting as
sembled declined to recognize as
legal the special school millage
election held on August 6 and re-
fused to order the levy of 10 mills
as petitioned by the school board
of Monroe county. The clerk
read the decision of Attorney
Malone, legal adviser of the board
of county commissioners, in
which it was pointed out that the
board of education had canvassed
the votes instead of the returns
and that none of the issues voted
on received a majority Also that
there are 16 voting precincts in
the county and that the people in
only one of these precincts were
afforded the privilege to vote;
that there is no legal provision
whereby the school officials
should abandon the prescribed
voting places and establish but
one voting place in the district.
He advised the commissioners
not to order the assessment and
collection of the 10-inill levy.
The city council, at its regular
meeting last night, appropriated
the sum of $500 to be used by
an organization recently formed
in the city for the purpose of in

paign with the purpose in view
of prevailing upon the U. S. gov
