Ey the Associated Press,

BOSTON, Aug. 30-An assertion
that the American people will not

vocating Communism, Fascism and
Nazi-ism was voiced today by Gen.
Frank T. Hines, United States vet

vising Veterans of Foreign Wars to

After bringing the veterans 40th

worded prepared address suggested
that before attempting to advocate
changes in our form of Government

They cause among themselves

prejudices and hatred that interfere
with their progress and our oWn-and
if such an attitude is persisted in,
will certainly lead to definite meas

but to entirely eliminate them.
"I have supreme confidence in the
common sense of the American cit

tolerate for long any movement that
interferes with their progress, their
happiness, or any attempt to under
mine their principles of the true
American form of Government.
IT think we should condemn such
actions as un-American," the veter-
ans administrator asserted. I'VE
cannot and should not attempt to
follow these alien ideas, which stir
up hatreds and cause friction among
Americans. We have great SYM

where they belong-in Europe.

II am very glad to say that we

THE BILLBOARD BEAUTIFUL!

The Citizen has taken a stand, for a
long time, against the unsightly signs, the
ugly billboards that dot the highways and
obstruct the view of scenic spots. Nature
scarcely needs the addition of advertised
coffee, cars and cafeterias, to enhance its
beauty. How many times have Key West
{ers been riding alongI our Highway re-
marking about the loneliness of some road
side picture, when up pops a. billboard to
hide and mar it, but which informs you
fully of the merits of a, vafnish or liver
pills. The public has put up with in
creased billboards and until recently have
suffered with little direct action. How
ever. billboard advertisers realized the
feeling and signs were removed from resi-
dental sections in many cases, and bill
boards were planned to be more attrac-
tive. But can billboard ever be beauti-
full? Many states say no, and follow this
up with laws regulating the erection of
outdoor advertising, We have written
before of many summer Sunday ride
spoiled by too many signs. Vermont and
Virginia, and now New York, have their
laws controlling the problem. A prominent
Florida city had recent controversy re-
garding the placing of prominent sign
which was an eyesore to the citizens who
prided themselves on the beauty of their
city. So the movement grows and will
probably spread to other states. The ma

SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE"

IF the suggestions contained in the re-
port of the Hepburn Naval Advisory
Board made public at Washington We'd
nesday are finally approved by Congress,
the Southeastern Navy Air Base will be
located at Jacksonville. AS it looks now,
there seems little chance of changing that
congratulations of Key West, Miami and
other communities that sought the base.
The Key West Aviation Committee
headed by Charles Taylor is refusing to
take the Hepburn report as the final bell
in the fight to bring the navy air base to
this city. Believing from the beginning
the Hepburn board could not be swerved
from it's original decision to favor Jackson
ville's bid, the Key West group has been
quietly working among the members of
the naval affairs committees of both the
Senate and the House. Today that effort
is being intensified. The committee plans
to be represented at the committee hear
ings in Washington and proposes to have
proponents of Key Vests plan carry the
fight to the floor of both houses when the
navy air base proposition comes up for
debate
This is the kind of fighting tactics
that has been so sadly lacking in many
fother promotions put forth, by this, city.
The Key West Aviation Committee cplahs
to dispute the Hepburn Boards findings
that the cost of locating the navy air base
here would be excessive, that there IS no
adequate water supply, that there are no
transportation facilities and that costly
breakwater would have to be built if the
Trumbo section were converted to naval
flying operations.
Although The Citizen feels the effort
to land the navy air base will not bear
fruit, it is certain the Key West group will
be able to focus the attention of Congress

NATIONAL WILDLIFE
RESTORATION WEEK

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This entire week-March 49,
25-is being observed throughout
the country as National Wildlife
Restoration Week.
Federal, State, Conservation
Societies, Audubon Societies,
Spotsmen's Organizations, bird
clubs, and individuals are stress
ing, in talk and writings, ! the
great need for more protection
and increase of opr feathered and
furred friends :
Conservation Stressed
| Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace has stressed the need of it
in a broadcast during the Nation
| al Farm and Home Program on
last Monday.
! 1t is admitted and recognized
that many things have combined
to deplete this nation of its nat
ural heritage of wildlife-over-
shooting, numbering, commercial
shooting and civilization itself
with it's new roads, automobile
highways, new cities and towns
and easy access to the last stands
of the birds and beasts.
Several years ago the Federal
Government took cognizance of
the situation. and about 1924
| funds were set aside for the ac-
QUESTION of areas particularly
adapted tc -wildlife needs. Along
the main routes of bird migration
such as the Atlantic Coast, the
Mississippi Valley, the Rocky
Mountain section, and the Pacific
coast-areas were purchased and
made into Refugees where no
guns, traps, nor other accoutre-
ments of destruction are permit
ted and where ingress can only
be had by special permit Of the
government men in charge.
Keys Under Federal Protection
One of the last of the areas to
be established and of particular
interest to residents of Key West
and adjoining sections is the
Great White Heron Refuge, con-
sisting of the many Keys lying
along the Gulf shores of the main
Keys. These and the Marquesas
Keys are now all combined under
Federal protection, being admin
istered by the Bureau of Biolog-
ical Survey of the U. S. Dept. of
Agriculture, making a continual
stretch of islands and water about
IS miles in extent. Daily patrol
ling, by officials of the Bureau,
is done in these waters and about
the Keys. One of the chief forms
of bird life to be protected the
Great White Heron, a bird found
nowhere in the world except
along the Florida Keys. Storms,
fishermen, hunters and others
brought this noble bird close to
extinction, but it is believed with
the present protection given and
IAN aroused sentiment of the
citizens of Key West and others
in the breeding grounds, that it
is possible to restore this beauti-
full and interesting species to its
former abundance, so that the
tourists and visitors to this Sec
ton may again have the pleas
ure of seeing one of Natures
grandest forms of bird life.
Key Visitors Interested
Many tourists have visited Key
West and fishing camps and re-
sorts during the past two months.
Many have asked concerning the
birds, key deer, and other ami
mails. Many have been disap-
pointed at the lack of these
forms. =
Some of the visitors have had
an occasional glimpse of a Great
White near the highway. Is
i May we all cooperate thissweek
and in the weeks to come to
bring back one of the chief charms
of the Keys-its wildlife.
