KEY WEST CIVIC WEEK

This has been proclaimed by Mayor
Willard NJ. Albury as Key West Civic
Week. During the week the members of
the Key West Chamber of Commerce will
attempt to sell Key West to Key Westers.
At quick glance, this might seem like a
foolish thing to do. 1t is a we'll known
fact that most Key Westers are sold on
Key West.
But they are not sold in civic sense,
on the necessity of putting a shoulder
against the creaking civic machine and
giving it lift out of the economic rut in
which the city had been nired by loss of
industries, less Of population and loss of
faith and hope itself.
The Chamber of Commerce is at
tempting to get the unlimited and active
support of the general public of a program
that has the following tentative detectives
1. Advertising and publicity for the
city, its recreational, health and tourist
facilities.
g. Closer cooperation with the army,
the navy, the coast guard and the public
health services.
3. Assisting the constituted officials
to bring fresh water from the mainland,
improve Overseas highway, build NUM-
cipal hospital; provide better housing
facilities, and other projects.
A. Increasing the tourist, recreational
and vacation facilities for tourists and for
the hundreds of servicemen here.
lo for
ing of the ntracoastal canal to Key West,
improving the yacht and boat facilities
and establishing better transportation
service to and from Cuba.
Recognizing that too often in the past
such programs have never been followed
much beyond the formative stage, the
Chamber of Commerce now is planning a
permanent organization to see this pro-
gram through Under that organization
each director of the Chamber will be
charged with responsibility for appoint
ment of committees and for other effort to
produce results under the program.
Few Key Westers can argue that the
program as tentatively outlined is not
needed to put this city on it's feet. Nearly
all will agree that it is sound, sensible and
necessary. There is now more than ever
cause for hope that the Chamber of Com
merce will produce tangible progress along
the line advanced this week.
The Citizen believes the program de-
serves united public pport-sincerely
hopes that the Chamber of Commerce is
supported with every last ounce of
strength and force inherent in the people
of Key West.
