BAN THE BEACH RoMEOsl

Numerous complaints are being filed
with The Citizen and city officials regard
ing the obnoxious activities of the strutting
and amorous young men who infest the
beaches off.the foot of Duval Street and
above White Street. 1t is reported that
Key West women and girls and the wives
and daughters of visitors have been driven
from the ocean shore by the disgusting and
suggestive approaches and advances of
these beach Romeos.
This is a sad commentary against a
city that has little enough to offer our resi-
dents and our visitors in the way Of public
beach facilities. What little sand is avail
able at the oceans edge is apparently
monopolized by type of humans who can
be rated somewhat lower than snakes
abdomen.
Complaints regarding the lack of
beaches and the condition of those that
are available are bad enough. It is adding
insult to injury to listen to complaints
against the human debris that drive girls
and women away from the waters edge.
Key West is unable financially at this time
to do anything about providing decent
municipal bathing facilities. But surely
something can be done to protect our Wo-
men and our daughters from the depreda-
tions of well larded gang of beach rats.
Some of them are we'll known. One
of the worst offenders is reported to be a
former prizefighter These men rather
admire their figures. They strut the
beaches in the scantiest possible clothing.
The moment an unattended woman or girl
comes to the beach she Immediately be-
comes the object of their offensive atten-
ton. She is forced to leave the beach
Key West has number of policemen
on the payroll. 1t ought to be fairly
simple matter for the police department to
assign at east one officer to patrol the
beaches. Any nearby resident will be able
to indicate the men guilty of these dirty
tactics It should be simple matter to
file vagrancy charges against these men
and make our beaches safe for women
folks.

RESPECT THE FLAG
(Florida Advocate, Wauchula)


When you see the Stars and Stripes dis
played son, stand up and take off your hat.
Somebody may litter. 1t is in the blood Of some
to deride all expression of noble sentiment. You
may blaspheme in the street and stagger drunken
in public places, and the bystanders viii not pay
much attention to you; but if you should get
down on your knees and pray to Almighty God or
of old soldiers marches by with flags to the
breeze, some people will think you are showing
off,
But don't you mindl When Old Glory comes
along, salute, and let them think what they
pleased When you hear the band play THE Star
or hotel dining room, get up even if you rise
alone; stand there and don't be ashamed of it,
eitherl
For of all the signs and symbols since the
world began there is none other so full of mean
ing as the flag of this country That piece of red,
white and blue bunting means five thousand
years of struggle upward 1t is 5the full-grown
flower of ages of fighting for Liberty. It is the
century plant of human hope in bloom.
Your flag stands for humanity. for an equal
opportunity to all the sons of men, OF course we
haven't arrived yet at that goal; there are many
iniustices yet among us, many senseless and
cruel customs Of the past still clinging to us but
the only hope of righting the wrongs of men lies
in the feeling produced in our bosoms by the
sight of that flag
Other flags mean glorious past, this flag a
glorious future II is not SO much the flag of our
fathers as it is the flag Of our children, and Of
all childrens children yet unborn. It is the flag
Of tomorrow II is the signal of the Good Time
Coming II is not the flag Of your king 1t is the
flag Of yourself and of all neighbors.
Don't be ashamed when your throat chokes
and the tears come, as you see it flying from the
masts Of our ships on all the floating from
every flagstaff Of the Republic You win never
have worthier emotion Reverence It as you
would reverence the signature Of the Deity.
Listen, sonl The band is playing the national
anthem The Star-Spangled Banners They
have let loose Old Glory yonder. Stand up and
others win stand with YOU
This tribute to the flag IS Offered to the
country in appeal to all men and women Of all
races eolors and tongues, that they may come 70
understand that our flag IS the symbol Of liberty
and learn to love it.--Alvin NJ. owsley.
