Champagne Hour Contest On
Saturday Night Big Success

Continued and sustained ap-
plause greeted the finalists in the
Champagne Hour contest staged
at the Casa Marina Saturday eve
ming, so that it was difficult to
place the three pairs of finalists
in their respective positions for
the award of champagne. How
ever, a most articulate crowd of
spectators eventually chose Mrs.
Earl Leroy Wood. of Newark, N.
J. partnered with j. w. Gayle, of
Richmond, Indiana, as winners.
The deciding dance was a Wen
nese Waltz, which they performed
to perfection. Runners-up were
Mrs. Guy Carleton paired with
Alden Kimball, and also in the
final roundup were Miss Annette
Bose paired with Samuel Judd.
Jack Cole, manager of the Ar
thur Murray Studio at the Casa
Marina, is to be congratulated on
the excellent partner he selected
in Miss Jane Peabody who was
doing a little pinch-hitting. Miss
Peabody tackled the job like an
expert and her consummate grace
in dancing was much admired.
Between them, they put the hour
over in great style. A Tango,

Editor, The Citizen:
Eighty-five Key West boys and
several hundred other Florida
boys are in Texas today because
Key West has no adequate airport
for land planes Wouldn't you
rather these boys were in Key
West where they are nearer
home?
Maybe none of these boys are
related to you and you don't give
a whoop where they are, But, Tax
payer, if those boys were here the
wealth of Monroe county would
be more by reason of their payroll
and maybe you could get even
more rent for your property.
Suppose you have no property
to rent. Then the home in which
YOU live and on which you get
homestead exemption is still in
creased in value If Key West pay
rolls and population is kept up.

You complain of 6 per cent in

high, but the $40, 1000 Immediately
becomes $75O,00O and the six per

tiers on Wednesday evening, Janu-
airy %. Mrs. Mary Miner, Mrs.
Mary Mcknight and Miss jose
phine Lopez were the candidates

Daughters.
Following the initiation, Rev.
p. j. Kelleher, S. j., gave an in
teresting address to the group in

for good womanhood in the world
today and explained that by their
example, they could, in large
degree, bring out the nobleness of
young persons characters. He
asked that the Catholic Daugh-
tiers, in their every day duties,
promote unity among their fellow
men, and by their loyalty to God
and to themselves, they would no
doubt bring about beneficial eff
fects among their fellow men. He
asked that they overlook the mar
rowness of other persons opinions
and "try to see the good and not
the mote" He advocated con-
structive criticism which would
help develop right principles, and
he asked that each person, in his
small way, help in this direction.
Following this address, delight

Mrs. Helen Parks, Mrs. Rose
Crusoe and Mrs. jamie Smith.

/ 49, - 80 =
Key West, Florida
Gentlemen: Ok sfEsf kE0Fg .CTI
Observations, contacts, and a
certain amount of social associa-
tions distributed well over year
in Key West, has proved to me
that the Alliance of Local Strug-
glers" is fast obtaining a lethargic
effect upon the untiring efforts OF
local groups to do things worth
while for the city as whole.
Now, this alliance or Local
Strugglers' forms itself without
any higher pressure organizer. II
runs itself without an active Board
of Directors. 1t asks for no initia-
ton fee or quarterly dues. 1t re-
quires no publicity for new mem
! berS.
The members, who are the local
organizations, just automatically
belong" because of the non-sup-
port of persons belonging to the
separate organizations; not inter-
esting themselves with little
time, little effort, and a little
money, in any effort of any other
organization. -r r4
The present members Uof. this
Alliance" seem to be: I'd

Scouts, The Key West Players,
The Art Center, The Woman's
Club, The Rotary Club, The Base
ball Club, The Lions Club, The

The Hotel Association, The Gar
den Club, The Citizens & Tax

The Citizen, The Chamber OF
Commerce, and last, and most
pathetic of all-the City Govern
ment.
The American Legion is strug-
Cling to make their Spring Con-
vention a memorable success;
The Boy Scouts are struggling
to provide Key West with a band
only second in size and accom-
plishment to that in Miami;
The Key West Players 2 are
struggling to financially aid vari-
Gus local charities by small profits
from well-given plays;
The Art Center is struggling to
create productive interest in the
many artists now living here or
visiting for extended periods;
The Woman's Club is struggling
to produce Public Library OF
recognized worth to the COM
munity;
The Baseball Club is struggling
to get enough attendance at their
well-played games to at least pay
the expense of needed equipment
to play the great American game;
The Cuban Club is struggling to
raise enough funds to equip sur

The Firemen's Association is
struggling to create a benefit fund
for dependents of public servant

Freedom Is Made of Simple Stuff

From the archives of broken peace, we are
bringing out old words and busting them off for
again shining lanterns to lead through
the darkness of another
Words like freedom, justice and truth-all of
them hard to define none of them used more fire.
quently than freedom.
You cannot say what freedom u.s. perhaps, in
a single sentence. 1t is not necessary to define it.
1t is enough to point to it.
Freedom is a man lifting gate latch at dusk
and sitting for while on the porch, smoking his
pipe, before he goes to bed.
1t is the violence of argument outside
election poll it is the righteous anger of the pupits
It is the warm laughter Of a girl a park
bench.
It is the rush of a train over the continent
and the unafraid faces of people looking out the
windows.
It is all the howdys in the world and all the
hellos. ..
1t is Westbrook Pegler telling Roosevelt how
to raise his children; it is Roosevelt letting them
raise themselves.
1t is Lindberg's appeasing voice raised above
a thousand Kisses.
It is Dorothy Thompson asking for war; it is
Gen. Hugh S. johnson asking her to keep quiet.
It is you trying to remember the words to The
Star-Spangled Banner.
It is the sea breaking wide sands somewhere
and the shoulders of a mountain supporting the sky
1t is the air you fill your lungs with and the
dirt that is your garden.
It is a man cursing all cops.
1t is the absence of apprehension at the sound
Of approaching footsteps outside your closed door,
It is your hot resentment of intrigue, the tilt
of your chin and the tightening of lips some
times.
1t is all the things you do and want to keep
on doing.
It is all the things you feel and cannot help
feeling
Freedom-it is you.
