WHY ENCOURAGE THE vANDALs

The Citizen in recent weeks has car
ried a number of stories and advertise
ments describing improvements to the
Palace Theater.
We have described how operators OF
the theater were improving the amusement
place with complete renovation, designed
to make their patrons more comfortable.
and detailed the considerable amount OF
money spent both in providing increased
comfort and in Identification.
SO, while the Improvements were not
even completed, someone last week slashed
one OF the new leather seats with knife.
There really isn't much you can say
about acts of that kind. The person who
does it is not normal, and there is no more
point in appealing to his better nature than
there would be in asking any other type OF
perverted mind suddenly to become nor
NAL
It is the attitude of others in protecting
the vandaIS, however, that makes their con-
tinued activities possible, and it is that at
titude that should be changed.
There is nothing funny about slashing
the seats of theater. There was nothing
funny about destroying the statue of Jose
MART last month at Bayview Park, and We
fail to see the humor in the work of the
boys or men who repeatedly have smashed
the piano in the park
Key Westers who had no part in COM
hitting any of those acts know who did
them. They must, because in the cases of
the piano and the statue, at least, consider
able time and effort must have been ex-
pended, and the work could not very well
be done without noise.
AS far as the vandals are concerned,
they will be caught eventually if they con-
tinue their activities. If they are minors, it
probably will mean reform school If they
are old enough, their profitless activities
may get them felony conviction and state
prison sentence.
But it is the other Key Westers-the
ones who know about such acts and keep
quiet-who ought to consider what they
are doing.
The city, for instance, has only a small
amount of money to spend for recreation,
which benefits everyone in the city. Be-
cause of the continued vandalism, the city
must spend large part of the recreation
money in salaries for guards to protect
what is put in.
The government is considering ex-
penditure of money for recreation here. But,
after all, the governments enormous re-
sources do have limit, and enough van
dalism will convince almost anyone who in
vestigates that there is no point in spend
ing money for animals to play with.
The case of the theater is much the
same. Why spend money for any improve
ment if it is to provide nothing more than a
target for morons?
1t is up to the people of Key West-all
of them-as we'll as to the few regular of
ficers. AS in many other ways, this is a sit
uation where they can make of this island
what they please.

THE PLANETS co THEIR WAYS

It is always refreshing, when the world
is tormented with the troubles of mankind,
to reflect upon the skies, through which the
planets move their accustomed ways un-
mindful of the sorrows that afflict human
beings.
Thus we find, in the early evening, be-
fore twilight disappears, the planet Venus
above the western horizon. This planet
sets about an hour after the Sun but is re-
placed by Mars which seems to climb over
the eastern horizon to attract human eyes
for the next two months.
Later in the night two other planets
appear in the east, Saturn being visible
about three hours after sunset and Jupiter
rising about midnight.
You can gaze at these celestial visitors
and forget your mundane affairs. AT least,
you can if you are bit philosophical and
inclined TO think.
