KEY WEST PREMIERE

As we follow Loxi Claiborne's fic.
titious life in Thelma Strabel's magnificent
story of Key West, Reap The Wild
Wind, we can't help but think what
marvellous bit of publicity this serial story
is for our city.
Thousands upon thousands are fol-
lowing this great story of our city and its
pioneering days, thrilling, even as we do,
at the recital of the adventurous times led
by Key Vests leading citizens one hum
dred years ago. Many of them will visit
us in the months to come, it is sure.
Two more installments of Reap The
Wild Wind" remain. This and next
weeks Then, with the exception that the
story will appear in book form, this saga
of early Florida keys life will be just
memory-that is, it would be if it followed
the usual run of circumstances ascribed to
most stories Thelma Strabers story is go
ing to do still more for Key West, and we
now arrive at the point of this article.
1t has been announced that the story
of Key West wreckers is going to be filmed.
It's rumored that it will be a super-film,
rivalling Gone With The Wind, with
top-notch actors and actresses. That be-
ing so, then it is entirely possible that film
dom will be thinking of the new film in
similar terms as Miss Mitchells story of
the Old South, and accord Miss Strabels
story fitting premiere.
The whole world read about the At
lanta Premiere of Gone With The Wind.
That city was the center of worldwide
attention on the memorable day that Rhett
Butler and Scarlet 0'Hara came to town,
in person, to be present at the first show
ing of their picture. How about the
Premiere for ''Reap The Wild Wind?

THE RED CROSS Mobiles

Hard on the heels of the Nazi in
vasion of Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg
and France is the old spector of famine
and suffering for wars hapless victims
the men, women and children of the in
vadel countries.
In regard to the war itself the United
States is neutral. But in regard to the
suffering of innocent old men, helpless
mothers and dependent children the United
States cannot remain neutral. In any war
against suffering this country would not
remain neutral, for it is not in the Amer
lean nature to endure suffering without
attempting to do something about it.
Acting alone or in small groups we
would be unable to send food, clothing and
supplies to the men, women and children
of Europe. Recognizing the futility of
such action, the American Red Cross is
ur;: crsally accepted as the agency through
which we may make our individual con-
tributiOns perform effective service in the
cause of suffering humanity
There is a Monroe county chapter of
the American Red Cross, as there is a
chapter of the same organization in every
other County of the United States. Charles
Taylor, local chairman for the Red Cross,
has received telegram from Norman H.
Davis, national chairman, announcing the
immediate inauguration of widespread re-
lief measures in behalf of helpless men,
women and children in the war-tOrn cOun-
tiles.
Although the national goal is S10,-
100000, the Monroe county quota is only
5000, less than 25 cents for each of the
$4,000 persons estimated as living in this
county.
If any one of us saw a family of old
men, tired women and hungry children
slumped in a helpless huddle along a
shelterless roadside in Key West or Mon
roe county we would not hesitate to con-
tribute at least 25 cents toward providing
them with shelter, food, warmth and
clothing. We probably would contribute,
each of us, great deal more.
In responding to the Red Cross call
for contributions the people of Key West
and Monroe county must visualize such
scenes multiplied thousands of times along
every Dutch, Belgium and French road
side. We cannot violate our national neu-
trality by opening our hearts and pocket
books to help the helplessi

Not everything is cheaper in Key
West than elsewhere; in fact most things
are more expensive here. However, the
charge of $40 for making the water and
sewer connection is decidedly low and
there should be no complaint as to the
cost, especially when comparison is made
with the charges in other cities. For in
stance in Duquesne, Pa, a city that COM
pares with Key West, the cost of the tap
for water alone is from $3.50 to $500,
varying in accordance with the width of
the street.

Reich Won't Mediate
In Russo-Finnish War
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN. Feb. 6.-The German
government can see no basis for
mediation in the Russian Finnish
conflict, it was authoritatively indi-
Gated today after the Reich's ENJOYS
to Moscow and Helsinki had come
to Berlin to make personal reports.
Authorized sources said that even
Finnish President Kyosti Kallio's
declaration last Thursday that Fin
land was ready to make an honor
able peace" offered no concrete basis
for action by Germany.
Germany, now as before, is keep
ing aloof from the northern conflict,
it was stated, although of course
Russia is the Reich's special friend.
Plans for the huge exchange of
Russian raw materials for German
industrial goods cannot be carried
out efficiently, informed sources said,
unless better communications are
obtained between the two countries.
A major dificulty in transporta-
ton has been the difference in the
gauges of Russian and German rail-
roads, making it impossible to use
the same equipment on both roads.
