Dear Steve:

SEES GREAT FUTURE
FOR ISLAND CITY

The Key West Chamber oil
Commerce received from one OF
its most valued correspondents
the following from Tallahassee:
Can you remember Tallahas-
see as it existed 10 years ago?
Does If not hearten you to note
the different in attitude of those
who always could have made.
but now are making this one OF
the finest communities on earth?
When, in your memories, have
our people been as willing to
forget self and fight for the
common good? We are just be-
ginning. We have everything
to work with and for, and, at
last. we are beginning to realize
it. Never let anyone persuade
you to sell Tallahassee and
Leon County short"
And there are signs that Key
West is falling into line with its
distant sister city," S. c. Single
ton. executive Secretary of the
local chamber, said today. There
is a great future for Key Yves;
when we can invite the public
to spend the winter in the best
climate in the United States.

TRIBUTE TO THE
WAACS


Hail, Women's Army Corps, whose
spirits burn
With love of liberty and human
kind.
Who chose the uniform that you
IN turn
Night free the slave in person and
IN mind.
Long may your cause win fair
applause
while outlaws pause.
Long may each hour renew your
power.
Such gallantry and Willingness
denote
Heroic will while peace yet seems
remote.
What thought you sent to war your
only son
Or husband. brother, friend to do
his part?
Before this bloody war was
fought and won.
You, too. preferred to serve with
hand and heart.
You did not wait but locked your
gate
To challenge fate.
Your battle -1ng: TO Danish
wrong.
Such sacrifice. such valor shall
secure
Justice for all while time and
life endure.
Not only here your stirring deeds
are known
But daily you are praised the
world around.
You who have made all freedom S
cause your own
Till victory and lasting peace
abound.
No british force from any source
Shall change your course.
Your actions voice your own free
choiSe.
Such sense of duty, such unbridled
pace
Must rescue rights for the falter-
ing human race.
So, patriot wAACS. accept our
gratitude
For all that you have done and
yet shall do.
On home or battle front, each
interlude
Between each venture shows your
purpose true.
Till, trumpet-call reveal TO all
The tyrants' fall.
You do not swerve but stand to
serve.
Such loyalty. such faith shall soon
make room
For peace alone where flowers Il
concord bloom.

to facilitate the picking of red
ripe tomatoes in the field. the sug-
gestion has been made that fem
mime tomato pickers manicure
their fingcrnails with a shade of
polish like that of a ripe tomato
and comparison would provide the
answer. This would eliminate the
old system Of carrying cumber-
some color charts in the field and

doubt. add to the morale of the

THE PROMISE OF EASTER

All over the world there is and desolation. War
has laid waste the foundations of civilization Our
country sucked into the of the struggle by the
satabe greed of the hateongers knows the bitter pains
OF nternecine conflict Hearts heavy and minds
Taught with trouble Separation, anxiety death, weigh
down the spirit and the minds of countless millions
Across this darkness falls the light of Easter the
pledge OF life and of life eternala life in which there
shall be neither of parting affction of heart
and soul The pledge of the resurrection symbolized
Easter like light in the darkness-a ray of sunlight
falling across woodland glade dark and cold from the
devastation of wntry blasts and the melting SHOWS of
countless storms.
To the worried, Easter brings hope; the downcast
of spirit courage and to those who all that was
dear to them lin life brings the comfort of faith It
IS the triumph Of good ev-of over error of
lie over DEATH of the Eternal Goodness the forces
of evil.
There IS deeper human experience than the realiza
ton OF the impermanence of evil 1t is knowledge
which will sustain and support through the dark DAYS
ahead We know that the ultimate Victory for we
fight the side of right
Sorrow there IS and suffering and pain and loss but
beyond them all glory of the Easter morning when the
stone is rolled away. In the words of the old hvmn
weeping may endure for night, but joy cometh in the
morning.
Easter the eternal pledge of the resurrection The
voice OF the prophet job paraphrased and set to rnl
Phant strains OF music still rings Il know that nv

NOW is THE TIME
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Now is the time of testing. Now
is the opportunity for proving the
worth of the various groups that
make up this America of ours. Now
is the chance to show what we as
Individuals really are.
The war has struck home at last.
For the past year we have seen
more and more soldiers thronging
our streets. We have listened to pep
talks over the air. We have work
ed, saved, bought bonds, entered
into all sorts of war activities. We
have read eagerly or anxiously, as
cur personal lives were affected, of
victories and defeats alike.
But to many of us the war didn't
really touch us until its restrictions
clamped down upon our way of
life. Rationing and rising prices
have made the war felt in all the
homes of the nation-homes of both
wealthy and poor, of learned and
ignorant, of city jewellers and farm
ers, of workers and employers, of
Black and White.
Whether we like it or not we are
united by common doing without.
We have to cooperate or collapse.
There never was time when level
heads and cheerful heart were
more needed.
And herein lies an opportunity.
We have seen how selfish, self-seek-
ing individuals and groups are con-
demned, how the acts of a few
thoughtless, inconsiderate people
people have reacted on those with
whom they are grouped in the pub
lie mind But the reverse is also
true. We can just as easily see CO.
operative, courageous, cheerful peo-
pie and cooperative, courageous,
cheerful groups praised.
You get the ideal Everyone is jit-
terry and ready to fly off the handle
today. No one quite knows where
he is at or what the future will
hold. Neighbor looks askance at
neighbor and too many eye with
suspicion those not of their parti-
cular class, creed or color.
Here is the opportunity. We each
live in a small community no
matter how large the city that sur
rounds us. Let us stand out in that
community AS the American Ne
groes have built up a reputation for
