Iceland does not fall within the

an outpost OF Greenland whose sur

American neutrality vessels.
Iceland long has been regarded as
a possible stepping stone for

A MONUMENT TO SUCCESS

A private enterprise for the public
good is just as worthy as any municipal
project.
In many respects it is more praise
worthy. for it is individual initiative which
builds cities. The libraries, the hospitals,
the recreational centers, all these follow
only If private enterprise succeeds.
For that reason and many more, we
call belated attention to the new home of
the Broadway Super Market
Modern in design, equipped with the
latest appliances, illuminated by floures-
cent lighting and air conditioned it sets
splendid example for all progressive mer-
chants.
The building IS more than a market
place. II is a manifestation of the faith
two young Key West men have in their
city. It is challenge to all young men who
feel they must go elsewhere to succeed. 1t
is monument to courage and determine
ton. 1t is beacon to the hestant business
men. It is a milestone in the progress of
Key West. ss afes saaao9 -
The city can feel justifiably pFeud of
the Broadway Super Market. It.compares
witL the best in much larger cities. More
over, unlike most ostentatfods, big Stores, 1t
is owned not by. some powerful chain sys-
tenn, but by two local boys, Ernesto and
John Rivero, brothers.
Despite unforeseen difficulties, and in
Vulnerable obstacles, these two young men
carried through to give Key West market
which is as genuinely part of the city as
the weather. They proved that in peace,
even as in war, blood and sweat must be
endured before final success is achieved
There was no public celebration, no
dedication, no demonstration such as at
tends the opening of public building, and
yet time will prove, we feel sure, that the
Broadway Super Market was pioneering
effort, the forerunner of more and more
modern business establishments
When Key Vests natural beauty is
matched by the constructed beauty of man
made edifices, men will remember that it
was the Rivero Brothers and their Broad
way Super Market who showed the way

F.B.I. IS FuNcTIoNING

The average citizen of Key West can
safely depend upon the Department of

this country who may be suspected of pos
sible subversive activities.

5000 potential spies and saboteurs, almost
Immediately after the outbreak of the war,
indicates that the Federal Bureau of In

While every American should do his or
