BEACH FUND RUNS LOW

There is need for prompt public at
tentiOn to the question of maintaining
South Beach between Duval and Simon
ton streets throughout the summer months
According to the Key West Hotel and
TOuri-t Homes association, there is Vir-
tually nc none remaining in the fund
created for the beach project or raised by
the h0telmen from their own resources. In
the beginning they spent well over 5000
to clear the beach of debris, grass and
filth, while since then the average main
tenance charge has been around SO
weekly. In excess of $500 has been spent
this season by the association on South
Beach
Every hotel, cafe and restaurant
proprietor must realize the Importance of
this beach, the only sand in Key West
where visitors and residents may enjoy
sun and surf bathing. Reports from all
reliable sources indicate Florida this sum-
mer will enjoy the largest volume of tourist
trade in history The cities and industries
Of South Florida are sponsoring large
advertising campaign, which Monroe
County should have joined, to advertise
the vacation advantages of this area. Key
West will benefit from this increased bust
ness-if Key West has a clean and
pleasant beach.
There are three courses open for rails
inr money to maintain the beach through
out the summer: First, support by the
city and county, which is doubtful source
OF f;narcing; second, by direct cOntribu-
tons by citizens and businessmen; third
by becoming associate members of the
Hotel association.
Wisely, the hotel association has de-
cided to make an effort to broaden the as
sOciate membership of the organization,
while beseeching the County commission
to assign public trucks and men to clean
some of the debris from the beach after it
has been raked and piled by the assOcia-
ton wOrkmen.
The Citizen hopes this program sue
ceeds but urges the hotel association and
the county not to lose sight of the fact that
South and Rest beaches are privately own
ed and may one day be removed from pub
lie use. 1t is hoped the county will get &C
ticely back of the project for building a
public beach alongside Roosevelt bOule-
ward above Bertha street

BRIDGE ON FIRE!

Subject Of bridges came up again yes
terday with the report that the RamrOd
Key wooden span was badly damaged by
fire. Quick work by the U. S. mail truck
driver, Key West bound early in the morn
ing, and the timely arrival of Pump No. 2
from our local forces, prevented what has
long been feared-the complete stOppage
of all highway traffic for time, at least.
The fire occurred at what most will
agree is an OppOrtune time for a repeat on
the old question: What is the State High
way Department going to do about extern
siOr of the Overseas Highway"
One Of the arguments advanced by
supporters of Governor Cone for Senate in
the primary just concluded, as to why we
should give him a good vote, was that ne
would surely acknowledge that compll-
ment by putting his O. K. on the bridge
extension project And, everyone knows
he is the KEY man in the situation. His
word controls the State Road Depart
ment's program.
Well-what now? Monroe County
gave Mr.. Cone good vote. Even though
he wasn't nominated, his supporters nave
to agree that we complimented him with
more votes than he has ever received here.
Do we get our bridges now-or, do we wait
until the next Governor, Holland or White
hair. takes over?
That fire yesterday served to remind
us that something should be done-and
that soOn Then again-there's that sub
iect CT unneeded free-tOll bridge for
Tampa that has TO be settled. Protection
of our rights should include seeing to it
that huge sums of money aren't spent on
that project unless ours is approved first
Our lifeline was nearly broken yester-
day Does The Citizen hope vainly that
something will be done soon to alleviate
the threatening condition? We hope not!

ADDRESS TO THE
AMERICAS
By PVT. FREDERICK EBRIGHT
Army Barracks. Key West. Fla.

Ny sons, do MT forget the urgent
dream
That led our fathers to this west
ern earth,
Nor let us be deceived by words
that seem
To promise much for naught;
they are not worth
The valiant blood demanded in
return,
They are not worth our free
dOm's bright wild air;
My sons, let other fallen ruins
. burn,
But for our peace be wakeful
and bewarel
Forget that we are sprung from
diverse seed
You men of southern port and
northern town;
Know only that we have a COM
mon need,
And while the Old World en-
pireS are flung down
AS pawns or trifles tossed from
hand to hand,
Together and forever let us
stand.
Why should we trade the con-
doris majesty
Or high Sierra eagles fearless
flight
For vultureS waiting bitter vic
tory
In eastern lands before their
feast at night2
And what. the marble glories of
dead days
Against our living mountains and
wide plains,
That we should lend these to ag-
gressors' ways
And dedicate ourselves to alien
chains?
All no, my sons, too long time
has passed
In quarrels among ourselves; let
us prepare
To understand a common peace
at last;
Let US in this belated hour for
swear
All former fueds that sundered
us apart
And so accept each other, mind
and heart.
Men CT these continents and
western isles,
From high Polaris to the South
ern Cross,
Turn from the decadence of for
eign guiles;
Let their dark tides of hate and
warfare Joss
And break themselves against
our peaceful walls.
This peace that is our heritage
and right,
But let US now, though all else
fails and falls,
Keep this pure flame of liberty
alight
What bonds we owed have long
ago been paid;
There is no cause to forfeit blood
and life
To save a thing these centuries
decayed
By its own madness and intern
al strife
Men, let US save ourselves. and
know at length
That in a common need lies COM
mon strength.

THE FAIRY BALL
By ].

Let's run away this evening
When the twilight shadows fall
Over the dewey woodland
And go to the fairies ball
Through the darkest places
Wen 60 hand in hand
Across the duSky meadows
Till we come to fairyland-
Wen find the elves and fairies
In the glow where the fireflies
play;
Where the crickets make the
music
And the fairies dance till day.
So let us 60 this evening;
We can surely find the way,
And dance tonight in the moon

And dance till the break o. day
