West Hospitality Band composed
of our local musicians, has an
enviable record of innumerable
enjoyable concerts for special &C.
casions, receptions, celebrations,
The Week of Joy, and, most of
all, weekly concerts under our
palms and tropic sky. And there
were the superlative productions
of Pirates of Penzance" and
Inns. Pinafore" that brought
state and national acclaim for the
polished performances of local
talent.
Historical Records
The Historical Records: With
its painstaking and deliberate
compilation of records of all
kinds-historic, municipal, civic
has not only benefited contem-
porary Key West, but its work
will be boon to future admin
istrationS, historians, writer's.
Valuable records that would 9TH
erwise have been lost forever
have been located, diligently
classified, indexed, and safely
filed away.
Except that Key West is par
ticualrly fortunate and favored in
many respects, it is very much.
like any other American city.
And Key Vests experience shows
that the Federal Arts Projects
fill very definite need in pro-
viding employment for writer's,
artists, musicians, actors, and
CLERICAL workers-in addition to
the dollars-and-cents and cultural
benefits derived by the whole
population.
Want Federal Arts Projects
Key West needs it's Pageant,
it's Guide Book, it's publicity; we
need our Art Center, Art Glasses,
Art Lectures, and Worlds Fair
exhibits; we never want to part
with our Hospitality Band, our
Weekly Concerts, our receptions
and light operas; we want the
rich history of Key West to be
preserved for future generations:
in other words, We Want Our
Federal Arts Projects.
Efforts to curtail governmental
expenditures should be governed
by sound discretion; the Byrnes
Bill should be amended to include
the Federal Arts Projects.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-05-27

The Byrnes Bill providing for
Federal work relief after June
30th omits entirely the Federal
Arts Projects, which include the
Writer'S, Art, Theatre, Music and
Historical Records. To say that
this is a serious omission is not
enough; it is a gross mistake.
All of the Federal Arts Projects
that have operated in Key West
have been of incalculable value
to the life and progress of the
community. ia.
Writer'S Project
Consider the achievements of
the Writer'S Project: the "Key
West Historical Pageant" that
has become an annual event, inn
pressing both residents and visi-
tors with the colorful background
of the city; splendid publicity
for Key West and Monroe Coun-
ty in such volumes as Florida, A
Guide To The Southernmost
State, "U. S. One Maine to Flor
ida, Florida Waterways, and
Life In The South" The "Key
West Guide, more than 80 per-
cent complete, contains a wealth
of information that will be of
tremendous value if completed
and published, but a total loss
if filed away to collect dust. Key
West certainly needs an adequate
guide book. Money has been
spent on this one-why throw it
away?
Art Project
Then there is the Art Project:
The FERA original brought cele-
brated artists to Key West, beau
titled local buildings with Key
West paintings, and their excel
lent art work added immeasur-
ably to the charm of those reha
Utilization guide books; the pres
ent project and it's Center, one of
the outstanding points of interest
on the island; the art classes for
visitors, adults, children; the
work in Cuban art appreciation
groups; and the current Worlds
Fair publicity obtained for Key
West through it's art exhibits.
Music Project
AS for the Music Project: Well,
Voltaire said that life without
music would be a mistake. To
loving Key Westers such a
life would be tragic! The Key

DEFENDS KEY WEST

DEFENDS KEY WEST
Editor, The Citizen:
Having read some editorials
concerning people up the line at
Miami, West Palm Beach, and
some other places, knocking Key
West, to tourists, is no day
dreams. I have no business of
my own, but I'm manager of a
small up-to-date rooming place,
and I'm here to say that I've had
dozens of people all through the
past season tell me that they
were advised not to come to Key
West-no water fit to drink, no
eats, no decent places to stop
overnight, and if they did come,
be sure to bring their eats and
water. I don't say that the
newspapers of Miami, or the
large hotels, INDUCED in telling
the people such things, but some
of the smaller places who wanted
to hold their guests, did, and a
lot of the people who came did
bring their food, and water in
jugs. It's a crying shame for
people to be so inconsistent. The
people of Key West should pull
together for the best good of all.
I've been in Florida near 81
years, lived in eight different
towns and cities from Key West
to Pensacola, and do not feel a
stranger in any part of the
state. Key West is a pleasant
horne-like place, and I have met
some, loveable people here. sfs:

ADVICE GIVEN TO KEEP
RABIES WELL IN SUMMER
Regular Visit of Doctor Suggest
ed, Even If Baby Appears Well

AS the thermometer shows signs of
climbing higher and higher some of
the ways by which babies may be kept
well and comfortable during the hot
weather and may be safeguarded
against summer complaint" and
other summer illnesses are outlined
below by DR.. J. H. NJ. Knox, Jr., chief
of the Bureau of Child Hygiene of the
MARYLAND State Department Of Public
Health.
"The best way to keep your baby
we'll" DR.. Knox said in his message to
mothers, "is to take your we'll baby
to your doctor regularly for advice
and supervision, and to follow the doc
tors instructions carefully and very
faithfully. If your baby develops any
digestive trouble, call your doctor, at
once. He'll tell you what to do.
Summer complaint, or cholera in
fantum, as it is sometimes called, and
other digestive diseases that are SO
dangerous for babies are germ dis
eases. The germs that cause the dis
ease get into the baby's food or in the
water given the baby to drink. Babies
who are nursed by their mothers and
who are given cooled, boiled, water to
drink, are protected from these
sources of danger. Care should be
taken not to wean a baby in hot
weather except under a doctors or
ders.
'If mothers milk is not available,
the best substitute for it is fresh
cows milk or unsweetened evaporated
milk mixed with an equal quantity OF
water. If sugar or additional water is
needed, it should be mixed with the
milk according to your doctors direc-
tions. All milk or milk mixtures given
to children up to two years of age
should be boiled. The feelings should
be kept in individual bottles and kept
on les until used. Each feeding should
be warmed as needed.
always wash the hands thoroughly
before preparing the baby's food, and
before handling the baby's bottle. All
dishes. pans, pots, bottles and nipples
should be sterilized by boiling.
Throw out any milk left in the bot
tie after feeding. Don't leave the bot
tie in the baby's crib or carriage. 1t
will only attract dirt or flies. Rinse out
the bottle; put the nipple aside, and
see that both are sterilized by boiling
before using again.
"Be very careful to protect the baby
and the baby's food against flies. Flies
are great sources of danger. They are
often carriers of the disease germs
that cause some of the most serious
illnesses babies have. Keep a supply OF
clean mosquito netting on hand to
throw over the baby's crib or carriage
while the baby sleeps.
"Some of the diarrheal diseases that
grown-ups have are catching. Keep
the baby away from people-both chill
dren and grown-ups-who are suffer-
ing from such diseases.
"If your baby is suffering from diar-
rheal trouble, don't let it run on. Call
your doctor. If you haven't doctor,
ask your County Health Officer to
send public health nurse to your
home. She will be glad to assist you
in every way possible

it seemed as though he were about
to spring at his antagonist. The veins
on his forehead were swollen and his
fists were clenched. Matresser, how

himself through the underground in
