HOW THE CHAMBER SERVES

Chambers of commerce everywhere
serve their respective communities in
many directions. The Key West Chamber
of Commerce is performing meritorious
service along many lines. 1t is difficult at
times to pin the badge of merit exclusively
on the Chamber of Commerce for num-
Der Of improvements and services here be-
cause, often, the work is cooperative. That
is, others have been engaged with the
Chamber in solving some particular prob
lem or getting action along some specific
line.
But the other day one project that
might be credited to the Chamber of Com
merce exclusively came to light. It was
the establishment of daily express serv-
ice between Key West and Miami Daily
express shipments between these points
were discontinued when the Florida East
Coast railroad suspended it's Key West
service. Later the P. & o. Steam
ship company provided a twice weekly
express service between Key West and
Tampa.
Then the P & O. decided to cut it's
Tampa service in half. That cut the ex-
press service in half. It was serious blow
to merchants and businessmen who bring
in merchandise and materials for Key
West consumers. 1t was serious blow to
the rehabilitation of Key West as a naval
base. Express shipments are important to
business and to the defense forces.
Al VI -
Chamber of Commerce directed a COM
munication to the Florida State Railroad
Commission requesting restoration of ade-
quate express service by the P. & 0. or
some other solution to the problem. Up
shot of that letter was a series of confer
ences arranged by the railroad commits
sion with the American Railway Express
and officials of the Overseas Transporta-
ton Company of Key West.
An agreement was effected between
the express company and the transpOrta-
ton company. Express shipments began
coming down the highway Monday. This
new service gives merchants, businessmen
and the naval establishment here rapid
transit of express between Key West and
the mainland. 1t is a great improve
ment
Key West Chamber of Commerce is to
be commended for this community serv-
ice This type of service will be appre-
ciated by all-and the Chamber should
be supported by all those interested
in rebuilding a better business activity
here.
Now that it has achieved success in
this direction, it is to be hoped that the
Chamber continues vigorous effort to
have the P. & O. establish more ade-
quate service to Havana or assist some
other steamship company in creating
transportation system between this city
and Cuba.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Young People Foolish to Abandon
Careers for Trek to Altar

Dear Mix Dix-I am a young man
torn between love and ambition.
am in love with a GIRL but am
still in college and will not be finan-
cially able to marry for several years.
Shall I marry her and give up the
profession 1 have been fitting my
self for and take any job I can get?
1 worship her, but my desire for
success is almost as great as my
love. What shall I do?
JOHN A.,
Answer-My earnest advice to you
is to put of matrimony and go on
with your education. Love will wait,
but opportunity does not tarry. If
you give up your chance now to
60 into the profession you have
thought about all your life it is
gone forever. You will have to
descend to lower level of living.
You will have to take any work you
can get that will make a support for
a family instead of doing the thing
your heaH is in. Perhaps you will
have to do some labor that nature
never intended you to do and for
which you are untitled, and that
will mean that you will not only be
a failure, but also you will always be
discontented and unhappy.
In the struggle between love and
ambition love may win the first
round, but ambition always scores
the final knockout. have known
many men and women who have
given up their careers to marry
some one with whom they thought
they were in love, but have known
very few of these marriages to turn
out we'll. Nearly always the love
was killed by baked ambition. The
men and women were dissatisfied
and miserable, and came to feel
that they had paid too high price
for their romance.
Do not think that you are showing
the girl what a great lover you are
by giving up your career in order
to marry her. A finer proof of de-
votion would be to go on and make
yourself worthy of her by proving
that you have enough strength and
manhood to control your passions
Evening star., 1940-04-16

and achieve a success that is worthy
Of her acceptance.
IAN for love and the world well
lost" is a fine, resounding, poetic
slogan for the sentimental, but it
doesn't bear the test of everyday, ac-
tual experience. The grand passion
cannot live on air, and 1t is sadly
true that romance has to be financed
Only those marriages are happy in
which people can go on living pretty
much as they used to do before they
were married and In which they can
carry out their plan of life.
So put marriage out of your
thoughts until you are ready for it
If your girl doesn't love you well
enough to wait for you, she is small
loss. And if she isn't interested
enough in your ambitions to sacri-
flce something for them, she would
make a poor wife, anyway.

There was some talk of leggings
