A few weeks ago the story passed
around that Hitler had been rebuffed in
the East and he was turning his thoughts
to the West and that Poland, Rumania and
the other smaller countries had gotten to-
gether to bar the road to Bagdad.
1t was even said that Germany was
considering returning the Sudetenland to
Czechoslovakia! IN
Last week, in sudden crisis, Hitler
put thrugh the dismemberment of what
was left of the Czechoslovakian republic,
divided the nation into three segments. 1t
may be safely assumed that, at convenient
times, Germany will take charge of the
smaller states thus created.
The world remembers something like
an obligation upon the part of the Munich
powers to guarantee the territorial integrity
of the Czechoslovakian nation, as then es-
tablished. Apparently, the guarantee"
was not provided Great Britain, France
and Italy looked the other way when Hit
Ter advanced again toward his goal of
mastery through all Central Europe.

find a pirate cove or some me-
dieval relic, which, of course, Key
West is not. There may be
matched roofs, but we saw none.
The houses are old, without
paint mostly, making rickety
noises when it blows.
Unique Place To Visit
The streets are bunny, none
too wide, and somewhat dreary.
There are two hotels, Casa Ma
rina and La Concha, striving to
give Adequate accommodations.
Meals are fine.
Trees are found here that don't
grow elsewhere in. Florida. A
fisherman might catch 10 deep
sea trophies, no two alike, the
first day. At night the wind
signs in the palms and low-studd-
ed stars stare brightly as the Gulf
and Atlantic join waters off the
Key.
If you want to get out of
bounds and still stay in the
U.S.A., here's the place. And
there's no more grateful hostess
than an elderly, neglected one.

YACHT BASIN AN ASSET

During the current season there has
been substantial increase in the number
of visiting yachts utilizing the temporary
facilities provided in the submarine base.
Provisioning, servicing and fueling these
vessels has provided good income for
number of our local residents and business
firms. The yachtsmen and the crews of
the ships have spent goodly sum in Key
West. The total has represented graft
flying addition to the municipal income.
This asset in the list of visitor facili-
ties available in Key West may soon be-
come thing of the past. There are very
definite indications the Naval Advisory
Board may soon recommend to Congress
that the submarine base be commissioned
and made part of the national defense
program because of it's proximity to the
Caribbean and the Panama Canal Zone.
The minute the base is placed in active
service private use of any part of the sub
marine plant will be prohibited. Key
Vests present unexcelled yacht basin
would disappear-and with it much of
the yacht fleet.
Visiting yachts must be provided
with safe anchorage and docking faclli-
ties. A project for improving Garrison
Blight for these purposes is in the making.
The tentative plans call for 5O0-foot
dock running parallel to Roosevelt Boule-
ward at the end of rectangular area 1000
feet long and 500 feet wide which has a
depth of eight feet of water at low tide.
Such dock would provide for approx
mately 80 yachts parked with their sterns
against the wharf. It is also planned to
widen and deepen the cut in the break
water to provide safer passage for yachts.
Garrison Blight is one of the most
protected harbors for small craft in the
state of Florida. 1t should be improved as
soon as possible to make it attractive to
visiting yachtsmen who would have no
other place to tie up in the event of the
removal of the submarine base from pri-
vate access. It is one of the most vital re-
sort facilities needed here.
Larger yachts, such as William K.
Vanderbilt's Alva, 249-footer which ar
rived here Friday, would find plenty of
safe anchorage in the harbor. With Sec
tons of the harbor available to large craft
and Garrison Blight haven for smaller
vessels, Key West would be in position
to give yachtsmen everything they need to
make them contented and happy to be
here. sa
The Key West Yacht Club, which is
initiating the movement to improve Garri-
son Blight and is completing fine club
house overlooking the blight, is to be con-
graduated for it's efforts and The Citizen
hopes the program will soon be marked by
the success it deserves.

Stream bearing craft to grief on
it, was a grim ally of the Key
boatmen. They still recall wild
races to scenes of wreckings and
the tense rivalry for claims that
ensued; a favorite concerns the
pastor who, hearing the first faint
toll of distress one Sunday morn
ing, hastily concluded his sermon
and then exhorted, LET us
pray -.
When, after a suitable period of
meditation the congregation un-
bent, it was just in time to see
the agile rector showing off in his
boat.
But that revenue is also gone.
The Merritt Chapman Wrecking
Co., with huge tug and costly
equipment salvages all wrecks
from Jax 10 the Bahamas, and the
thwarted Conchs use their craft
now for fishing.
This sport, of course, is tops
here. 1t lured Hemingway and
is attracting others. With game
fish anglers aware of Miami's de-
creasing catches the first influx
will be of sportsmen.
Unchanged Key West
The exciting drive is a second
reason for coming. Although not
as wide and foolproof as u. S. No.
/, the Overseas route-there's a
81 toll plus 25-cent charge for ex-
ira passengers-is an adventure
in itself. -
Finally, there is unchanged Key
West. Without need for festora-
ton, she lives here a city of pre-
war days, of 18th Century ex-
terrier. No remodeling, no repav-
ing, no rebuilding. While the big
wind destroyed nearly all struc-
lures between here and the coast,
Key West for the most part es-
capped. She's here as originally
grown but with nothing much to
live for.

CARE
DURING WINTER
H. L. Richardson, Poultry
Specialist at U. of d.,
Gives Advice
BREEDING FLOCK FEED

Breeding turkeys lose weight
steadily during the laying season
They can stand this loss if they
are fed literally through the win
ter SO that they will be in prime
condition when the laying season
starts, says H. L. Richardson, ex-
University of Delaware. Too,
most turkey growers select young
hens and young toms from the
spring flock to hold over as breed
ers. Only by liberal feeding do
they reach full growth by the time
the laing season starts. Richard
son calls attention to breeding
flock feeding studies by Stanley ].
Marsden, turkey specialist of the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture.
Under ordinary winter conditions
in all but the northernmost sec
tions Of the United States, with
some green feed such as hay and
plenty of sunshine, he found that
breeding birds kept in good condi-
ton if they had all they wanted of
a good growing mash, the same as
fed for finishing holiday market
birds, together with scratch grain,
plenty Of water and gravel or some
other insoluble grit. A recon-
mended mash is: Bran, II parts;
middlings, IL parts; ground oats,
II parts; ground yello wcorn, 80
parts; alfalfa leaf meal, 6 parts;
meat scraps 13 parts; dried milk,
10 parts; salt, part. This ration,
together with scratch grain, wat
er, and grit, should be continued
until at least one month before the
hens are expected to start laying,
after which time a laying ration
should be provided. When winter
weather is severe and birds must
be confined the growing mash
should contain 1 per cent cod-liver
oil. To preserve the vitamin A Of
the cod-liver oil, it should not be
mixed with the mash for more
than two weeks in advance
week is better.
