Makes Journey From Vienna to
New York by Way of
South America
Anxious to See First Game of
American Collegiate Foot
ball

Looking forward to the time when
he will see his first American foot
ball game when Bluffton college
meets Otterbin here a week from
Saturday. Otto c. Elmer, refugee
student from Vienna, Austria, COM
pleted arrangements this week to
attend Bluffton college.
Elmer arrived here Friday from
New York where he had been en-
ployed in the textile industry. Ar
rangements for bringing him here
were made by the college Y. w. C..
A. and Y. M. C. A. organizations.
REFUGEE SCHOLARSHIP
He was awarded the Bluffton col
lege refugee scholarship having been
selected from a list of foreign stu
dents suggested by the refugee de-
partment of the American Friends
Service committee.
Elmer came to this country from
Austria in a round about way. He
left Vienna in the summer of 1888
for Jugo-Slavia where he stayed with
friend until January, 1889. Due
to the fact that he had only a short
permit to stay in that country he
then left for South America, land
ing at Monevideo, Uruguay.
SAILED IN JULY
Through a friend in New York
City Elmer secured an affidavit to
enter this country and came to the
United States last July sailing on
the S. S. Brazil. Since that time
until he left for Bluffton the refugee
has been employed in the textile
industry in Rhode Island and New
York.
Impressing him the most in Amer
lea is the unbelievably high stand
ards of living. The many good
roads and fine automobiles are a
source of constant amazement.
The refugee student says the
facts of the Nazi putsch stand out
very vividly in his mind. At the
time Dolfuss, the Austrian premier,
was assassinated, Elmer was work
ing in Karinther, a small Austrian
village. Nazi activity started in
Austria in 1882 with a great deal
of propagandizing.
u S. OF EUROPE
Elmer believes that much of
Europe's trouble is due to being di-
vided into so many states with the
consequent barriers of tariff, race,
language and border regulations. A
United States of Europe is needed
to provide stability and unity, he
stated.
The Austrian student can speak
fiuently Spanish, French, German
and English, having learned the lat
ter when on Boy Scout trip in
England. ssDH.J
FRIENDLINESS HERE
Commenting ON American people
Elmer states that he is impressed by
the friendliness here and the fact
that good food and water can be
obtained almost anywhere. In Eu-
rope good, food can be obtained only
in hotels and at very high prices.
Elmer is the second refugee stu
dent from Vienna, Austria, to at
tend Bluffton college. Last year
Dorrit We'll, also from Vienna, at
tended the college here.

HOW ABOUT YOUR TOWN?

The best defense against fire is a
modern fire prevention ordinance-backed
up by an informed public opinion which
will demand rigid, impartial enforcement.
That is true of little town no less than a
great city.
The lack of such ordinances is directly
responsible for large proportion of this
eountry's criminally high fire waste. Some
one does an amateur job of repairing cleo
trical equipment. Someone operates a
business in "a fire trap that should have
been torn down long ago. Some shop is
careless in handling and storing paint,
cleaners and other fiainSff liquids. Soon
er or later fire. strikes Then the whole
community pays-in loss of business. loss
of taxable assets, loss of employment, loss
of materials.
In these days, when the needs of ma
tional defense demand gigantic quantities
of supplies of all kinds, fire plays directly
into the hands of the country's enemies. Fire
is the most deadly of all sahoteurs-fire
does more harm than a thousand fifth
coIumnists Fire steals our resources. Fire
steals mems energies and labor. And fire
steals that most vital thing of afl-Time.

DON'T MAKE 1T TOO OPEN


Two men, engineers stationed in Key
West, were arrested Wednesday night as
they played a dice game on the sidewalk
in front of the jefferson hotel. They, or
another group of men, had been. playing
there for several nights and they were sur
prised when an officer stopped them.
Isn't this an open town., one of them
asked the constable who made the ar
rest. sns
Key Westersapalssa taaawell to thiiik
overthat remark. for it the sign of an at.
titude that could do a great deal sto hurt
this city, and perhaps. already has,
The point we wish to make isthis: -
A great many people here, as in other
cities, are opposed to gambling, drinking,
prostitution, easy divorce, and the lax moral
code in general, if you would call it that.
They would like to change laws and en-
force existing laws to curb what they re-
gard as unmixed evils.
Another group of people, and the re-
suits would indicate they are in the ma
jority, believe that those are not unmixed,
but necessary evils. They feel Florida has
prospered by the influx of tourists seeking
to avoid more highly moral code, and
would lose if Florida officers took less
glenieat view of the4laws.e .si.s !
So, although some Miamians have
looked down theifshoses at Key Vests
nftlrals, most of the resorts of south Florida
are In pretty much the same boat, and it
would be fairly safe to say that Miami is
the worst-troubled of all. All of them have
made a marriage of convenience with law
violators-in many cases outright gangsters
and the results sometimes are none too
pretty.
Granting that much, you can compare
the case of city to that of an individual bar
in city.
A bar where the patrons were required
to speak in whispers would do little bust
ness. Perhaps the proprietor would add q
little noise and gaiety, loosen the reins
little, and his business would pick up. A
little later. he might reach point where
his bar was getting slightly rough, and
people who lived in neighborhoods of quiet
bars would come to see it.
That is about the point the south Flor
ida resorts have been inclined to reach.
But suppose at that point he took the
reins off altogether and let go all control.
Decent people then would be afraid to go
into his place of business at ALL and it would
become far worse both from an economic
and moral standpoint that when the Gus
toners whispered.
This is not intended to be discussion
of morals.
1t is a discussion of economics, and
every Key Wester of whatever morals
should be able to see that the 'open town"
designation will do this city no good, and a
great deal of harm.
Florida cities have decided they will
have plenty of liquor establishments-but
we don't need nine in two blocks, as we have
in one section of Key West. Florida officers
are not attempting to close houses of prosti-
tution-but we don't need prostitutes carry
ing on their trade at south beach and on the
.epurthouse lawn.
An i"openetown" easily can be too
open, and it is about time the people of all
classes and types inaKey West let it be
known that there is a limit. "a
