NANTUCKET EDITOR DESCRIBES HIS
Familiarity OF Two Cities Pointed Out By Publisher
FIRST VISIT TO SOUTHERNMOST CITY

Many articles have been writ
ten about the beauty and re-
sourcefulness of Key West and
its people, but now comes an en-
joyable departure from the usual
type of stories of the past.
Harry B. Turner, editor and
publisher of the worlds largest
(Size of page newspaper, The In
quirer and Mirror, of Nantucket
Island, Mass, recently visited
this city. While here he wrote a
series of articles describing the
similarity between Key West and
Nantucket and forwarded them
to his paper.
Following is the first of the
series:
Just why we happened to take
a trip down to the 'SouthernmoSt
tip of the United States we do
not quite know. Possibly it was
because we are not one of the
Florida enthusiasts who seem
to think it the only part of the
country worth visiting-that is,
aside from Nantucket.
Having seen America first and
having glimpSed the wonders of
the Canadian Rockies and the de-
lights of all the National Parks,
we determined to jump off from
the tip of the Florida peninsula
and see what has been done with
the miles of keys" or little is
lands stretching out many miles
into the ocean-out to the little
CITY of Key West.
1t was there we stood on the
southern-most tip of the United
States and looked across an eX-
panse of ninety miles towards

Cuba. Years ago Henry M. Flag
Ter started the development OF
Florida and built a series of fine
hotels from Jacksonville down.
He saw great possibilities of the
peninsula as a resort, so he had
built the railroad line, extending
it all the way down to Key West.
1t was a wonderful undertaking
building a railroad line from
key to key, and it was fraught
with many diSappointments in
carrying along the construction
of a railroad over many miles of
open water.
Flagler was taken sick and his
life despaired of. But the VEN
ture was nearing its climax and
he prayed to God that he might
be spared long enough to see the
first train run into Key West
His reserve strength came with
an answer to his prayer and when
Flagler himself stepped from the
train when it reached Key West
the first time he received a Won
derful ovation.
Success, he said. 81 am salts
fled. Kew West is now linked to
the rest of the United States.
A few weeks later Henry M.
Flagler passed to his reward, but
his memory is fondly cherished
by all those who take pride in
Florida of today-artificial to a
large extent and revealing the
work of man far more than the
work of nature.
Henry NJ. Flagler's railroad is
no more, but the remains of the
line are still to be seen across the

SMOKER MEETING

welcome officers members and
persons interested, at a new-type
Chamber of Commerce meeting
tonight, starting at 7:30 o'clock
at headquarters in the La Concha
hotel.
Regular business procedure is
going to be dispensed with and
the atmosphere will take on one

cigars are passed around.
An interesting program has
been lined up for the meeting,
treating on several subjects of
Importance to the city.
First, there's going to be a ten
minute talk on poster advertis-
ing by a member of the Art Gen.
ter Then Joseph w. John will
address the assemblage on pro-
motion. Both of these subjects
will be referred to the executive
committee for action.
Control of advertising projects
for the city and county will be
discussed in a seven-minute talk
by secretary SingletOn-to be
summed up in a resolution to be
adopted-or else.
Then-about the hotel and real
estate situation. Should these in
terests have a central office? Can
they work best through separate
organizations or as a department
of the Chamber? A round-table
discussion on that subject will
take up Is minutes.
Needs of Key West and what
can be afforded to improve con-

SIXTY DAYS HAVE ELAPSED!
The Key West citizen., 1940-11-22

The Italians are still on the
run ''in reverse, and continued
disorganized route, in the face of
the valiant fight being staged by
the inferior-number Greek army,
is the talk of all Europe today.
The Albanian stronghold of
Koritza was taken over by the
Greeks this morning, when the
mayor of the city, together with
what few residents were left aft
er the Italians vacated, came for
ward with a white flag of truce
and asked the Greek troops to
take possession of the city.
Italian advices this morning
admitted the fall of Koritza, dis
closing further that a large num-
ber of troops were slain in the
battles surrounding that city
The siege of this important city
has proceeded for the past eleven
days and its fall has been immin-
ent for several days.
Premier Metaxes of Greece ad-
dressed wildly cheering throngS
in Athens this morning, reporting
the fall of Koritza. He stated
that our heroic troops have tri-
umphantly" entered Koritza. The
whole city joined in the cele-
bratiOn of the Greek victory,
British Soldiers present being
feted in grand style.
Italian prisoners, held in de-
tention camps outside Athens.
were informed of the Greek sue
cesses. Some of them of anti
fascist beliefs cheered the news,
causing outbreaks among the
men imprisoned.
Further danger for the Italian
cause was announced by Greek
military heads, who claim now
to have cut the Italian coastal
supply lines.
Premier MetaxeS warned his
people this morning not to be
too confident of the army's abil-
ity to continue their successful
drive. He warned that the Ital-
ians would vet deliver their most
powerful blows against Greece.
Observers in London were
quick to point out the successful
maneuverS engaged in by the
GreekS-maneuverS which saw
mobile units combating effec-
lively against the axis-power
form of mechanized attacks. This.
they stated, would serve as a les
son to Great Britain.
Meanwhile = developments in
Berlin pointed to further trouble
for the Balkans, as Rumanian
diplomats arrived there to con-
fer on further support for the
axis cause. Premier AntoneScu
was included in the delegation.
1t is felt certain that Rumania
will enter into similar agreements
with Germany ard Italy, the
same as Hungary.
Advices from Istanbul today
continued to warn the axis
powers from further aggression
into the Balkans. The warning
was believed as a bOlSterinp
measure for Bulgaria's benefit
to guarantee that Turkey will
fight any further spread of war
in the Balkans.
