Welcome Winter Rains

LOCUST GROVE - An unusual
amount of winter rain has fallen in
the Horse Heaven hills the last two
weeks reminding wheat farmers Of
the good old days when crops did

the long absence of any rainfall,
much moisture is needed to bring
the soil up to the average wheat
growing possibilities. Farmers look
to the winter snowfall and are in
hopes of good spring rains for this

CONGRESS SEEKS ECONOMY

Just about the time that the nation
begins to worry about the budgetary prob
lens of the Federal Government, word
comes from Washington that Congress is
considering the appointment of a special
committee to study the subject indie
pendently of the executive department.
This is interesting. We have never
pinned much hope in economy, la Con-
gress, but you never can tell. Maybe the
boys will cut the money going to farmers,
to those on relief, the veterans and other
we'll organized groups that look to the
Treasury for funds. This may happen but
we will have to see it first and we do not
expect to see it in an election year.
Balancing the budget is extremely
simple. Just forget about the unemployed,
the plight of the farmers, the need for ade-
quate defense and other functions that the
public demands. The budget will auto
matically be balanced. 1t will stay bal
aHced until another election day rolls
around and then a new set of legislators
will unbalance the budget.

HOW TO HELP KEY WEST

Only relatively few Of the citizens
of Key West take an active part in civic
organizations engaged in helping Key
ward prosperity. The majority who do
not take part in these activities fall into
three general groups: Those who never
take an interest in anything; those who
would like to take an interest in something
and can't because they feel they cannot
help support any organization, and those
too busy Struggling to make living and
have neither the time nor the money to
help the Help Key West movement.
There is one way in which all those
interested in the future of Key West can
help develop bright future. That is by
being cheerful friendly and helpful to
tourists, winter residents and the officers
and men of the army, navy and marine
corps who are stationed here.
Too many of our citizens are shy
about making friends with strangers. They
are backward in contracting visitors not be-
cause they are not friendly and helpful
folks, but because they have an idea that
in peace, without lot of idle chatter and
curiosity on the part of residents.
There are few visitors who do want
to go along without cheerful word or
help from anyone. They are not hard to
spot. The ingrained crouch wears dour
mask and is good guy to stay away from.
The majority of the visitors are on vaca-
ton. They are in frolicksome frame of
mind. They want to go places and see
things and like to talk about themselves,
the kids back home, the trip down from
the north-and Key West. What makes
Key West city? How many people live
here? What do you do for a living
Where is the best place to eat? Got any
good shows? Where is the best beach?
How do you get to the aquarium? These
and hundreds of questions are in his mind
or on Il tip of his tongue.
That's where your friendly Key
Wester can be of service. There should be
cheerful smile, friendly word for every
stranger. Start conversation with the
average stranger and you strike gold
mine of friendly talk beneath his frost
bitten surface. By being friendly and
helpful to such strangers the resident Key
Wester can make the stranger feel at home
in our city. They will go away with a
good opinion of us. They will be more
fully informed about Key West. They will
be boosters for Key West.
The Citizen suggests the creation of a
more cheerful and friendly attitude on the
part of all our citizens. 1t costs so little
and means so much to the future of Key
West .%a9A@
