COOPERATIVE SPIRIT PREVAILS

Cooperation is grand institution.
No one gets anywhere without it. Armies
don't advance without it. Cities don't
progress without it. The lack of CO.
operation for some time has been one of
the drags on Key Vests proper develop
nized by many of our leading citizens.
They began to do something about it.
Their efforts now seem to be bearing
fruit.
Lately we have seen the housing
project brought to a head by the CO.
operation of group Of snnselfish bust
nessmen who didn't quit in the face of dis
enlargement and official indifference
We have seen a Civic Committee strug-
Cling with a municipal beach program
and getting results slowly but surely. We
have seen the Key West Chamber of Com
merce making progress in the develop
ment of a yacht basin, extension of the
intracoastal canal and other important
improvements. We have seen the for
nation of a Key West Hotel and Tourist
Homes Association and the focusing of its
attention on the problems of advertising
the city and it's facilities and providing the
city with those facilities demanded by
tourists. We have seen the Junior Cham
Der of Commerce in strong support of pub
lie improvements and~in sponsorship of
campaign to put good men in public of
flee. We have seen the Rotary club keep
everlastingly back of the Boy Scout pro-
gram. We have seen Arthur Sawyer Post
of the American Legion battling for the
municipal good and the development of
Key West as convention city.
Now comes the Lions club, one of the
newest organizations in the city. 1t is CO.
operating with the Boy Scouts organiza-
ton for the cleaning of Rest Beach. The
beach area is to be split up in zones for the
various troops of the Scouting fraternity.
Each troop will undertake to clean up it's
portion of the beach-and, we hope, keep
it clean. Members of the Lions club will
supervise the work and act as a cheering
section for the boys engaged.
That's cooperation at its best. All
our civic groups are cooperating. Each
seems to have picked out a particular
field in which to take an active part in the
rebuilding of the CITY, It is good work,
real work, cooperative work. It is the
kind of work that all of us appreciate. It
is real community spirit asserting itself
at last We salute all of the groups and
hope each is rewarded by seeing Key
West grow and prosper and get strong
again.

THE ISLAND CITY

TWO NEW organization groups
came to light recently. The Key
West First Aid Squad, designed to
give scientific first aid, was
formed. In New Jersey where
these first-aid clubs were first
born, the groups have their own
ambulances and an alarm system.
The idea has spread rapidly
throughout the country and many
lives have been saved from
drowning, live wire contact, gen.
eral cuts and accidents. At the
High School a Safety Department
Patrol of students will inspect
the school and send a report to
the National Board of Fire Under
writer's.

AFTER THE 'ISMS

Congressman Dies of Texas furnishes
us news items every week. His latest
startling announcement is that Chicago is
the power-house of un-American activities
and the principle source of nasty and UNI
patriotic propaganda.
Communists and Nazi leaders are be-
ing placed on the spot throughout the
United States, and the Congressional Com
mittee headed by Mr.. Dies backs up the
prevailing belief that these different
groups are carrying on agitation that is
dangerous to the democratic standards of
government.
Naturally those charged with the re-
sponsibility of protecting our form of gov
eminent are unusually vigilant at this time
because of the deep feeling that exists
over the war situation. While the Com
munists have long been recognized as a
national political party not all of them
were suspected as reds until the war pot
began to boil. Dies is hunting them down
and making things hot.

BUSINESS REPORTS

There doesn't seem to be very much
uniformity or agreement in either official
or unofficial reports concerning condi-
tons of business throughout the country.
One is almost tempted to believe that
some of the experts report their wishes in
stead of the facts concerning decreases of
unemployment, and increases in affairs of
big and small businesses, when they make
up statistics. 1t is perfectly clear that
some branches of activity have improved.
But there is nothing in the general situa-
ton to indicate that prosperity is just
around the corner.
AS for foreign trade, it simply is way
off, even in the Central and South Amer
lean countries where it has been expected
to show immediate strength. Undoubtedly
there are lot of people counting on the
war to restore greater degree of pros
perity.

PEOPLES FORUM,
pHrNcEss coFAcH1ou1

Editor, The Citizen:
At times white men and red
skins in this country have been
guilty of cruelty and bloodshed:
so the following narrative found
in a book at the Tampa College
library will be pleasant reading:
| While studying Spanish at Ma
drid, Theodore Irving, MA. was
given chronicle, "The Florida
of the Inca or History of the
Adelandado, Hernandez de Soto,
Governor and Captain General of
the Kingdom of Florida, and of
Other Heroic Cavaliers, Spaniards
! and Indians; written by the Inca
Garcilaso de la Vega.
From this book he composed
his book, The Conquest of Flor
ida, 1851, which he dedicated to
his uncle, Washington Irving.
From this book is taken the fol-
lowing narrative:
Six ambassadors in a grand
canoe padded behind the state
barge of Cofachiqui, Indian prin-
cess, reclining on cushions in the
stern under a canopy supported
by a lance. Eight female attend
ants were close by. Canoes with
warriors closed the procession.
When they arrived to the place
where the Spaniards were await
ing, she stepped on shore, a mai
den well formed, beautiful, and
with, native grace and dignity.
! She made an obeisance to de Soto
and sat on a stool. Her attend
ants were silent. Then she Of
fered the Spaniards aid in food,
shelter, RATS and canoes for
transportation. The Commander
overpowered by her generosity
promised constant friendship on
/ his part and that of the Spanish
Sovereign. His cavaliers admired
her courteousneSs. At the end
| she placed her triple necklace of
pearls around de Soto'S neck and
he presented to her gold ring
with ruby as token of peace and
friendship.
