POST WAR KEY WEST


Editor, The Citizen: ,-s. iEz
The pleasure OF hearing the
news of the possible surrender
of the japanese was dampened
only by question by one of my
customers who asked, What are
you going to do after the war, l
replied, oh, I don't know, how
about your" He answered. We'll,
Dad and Mother are going to live
in Miami, guess I'll go too, that is,
if Key West doesn't improve.
This was a taxi driver, father
of four children. His parents once
operated grocery store, and now
a large property owner. All of
whom were reared in Key West.
Now that the war is near over,
people are speaking their plans
more freely. 1t does not sound
good. Most of our intelligent and
cultured people who have brought
home and reside in Key West are
planning along the same lines.
And what are we doing about it.
Nothing.
Did you ever stop to figure
how the city with a budget out
lined in boom days is going TO
survive if great percentage of
the taxpayers leave. Have the
police, firemen, and city officials
forgotten the script that was once
issued as a payroll? l haven't, and
unless we can persuade these peo-
pie to stay with us and induce
others to make their homes here,
the script will be back in few
years.
l would like to appeal to every
man and woman of voting age, to
select carefully and put in office
men who are going to. manage
our city as it should, be- This is
not meant, tQscriticise our present
officials, as regardless of@who we
may put in office, if we do not
follow up and demand the things
we want, the political set-up will
always be the same. This applies
to the county as we'll as the city.
If we had been more forward
with suggestions and demands,
we would have been much better
off.
In closing l might add that any
of us who are dopes enough to
think that people will be lured
here for fishing and climate alone,
should change their mind. They
can get that just a few miles
away, with better surroundings,
and less expense, and further
more the Florida Keys will offer
some stiff competition in this line
after the war.

Veterans Unit To
Open Office Here

A contact office of the Veterans
Administration is to be opened in
Key West to assist veterans in
this area in securing benefits pro-
vided for them by the Congress, it
was announced today by Brig.
Gen. Frank T. Hines, Administra-
tor of Veterans Affairs.
Other contact offices have been
authorized to open in Florida at
Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale,
Fort Meyers, Fort Pierce, Lakeland
and Ocala.
The offices will begin operation
as quickly as space and personnel
can be secured. This is part of the
program of the Veterans Admins
trstion to bring its services direct
ly to an increasing number of vet
Grams throughout the country.
In order to reach veterans in
towns where the opening of a
contact office is not justified there
will be number of travelling re-
representatives. who will operate
from various regional and branch
offices in the state.

EDITORIAL FOR BONDS

Ever let neighbor down? No. You'd
neger think of doing such thing Yet, if
y % sell single one of your bonds today,
oIeven tomorrow, or many of your bonds
right after peace is signed, you'llsbe doing
jusi that - letting neighbor down.
Why?
Your neighbor speeded victory the day
he sold you that bond.
- He volunteered his services to the
Treasury Department as did six million
ether men and women all over the land. so
that the cost of selling war bonds turned
out 90 be the cheapest underwriting ever
conceived - one third of one percent.
II you sell your bonds too soon, all OF
that good work will be undone.
Your Government still needs your loan
more than YOU need that money. A normal
economy cannot be expected to spring up
overnight.
Industry is not yet ready to sell you all
the goods that you expect - it may take
two years instead of two weeks to deliver
an the cars and radios and electrical cad
gets you're dreaming Of
Don't ask too soon for too great share
ofthe good America can give you.
Don't let neighbor down

In expanding its western ron n
tier Russia is taking bites OUT Vi
Poland, Romania and czechosio-
vakia. -.
Poland is being taken, over as
far west as the Curzon line' drawn
after World War but never ao-
hered to. From Romania Russia
has taken Bessarabia and at least
ITpper Bukovina, more probably
ali of Bukovina. CzechosioVahia
has coded Ruthenia.
Russia might advance iogicai
claims based on population or
language in all these areas. She
might want them for their re-
sources: oil and mineral deposits
are found in all of them.
But Russia has plenty of people
and doesn't really need any more
oil or minerals.
! Whv. then, is she going after
these areas? The answer is mill
tary. All of them contain some
thing that Russia needs to make
certain she is never invaded again
from the west.
The plains between the Curzon
line and the 1899 Polish border
command the approaches to the
great Russian Ukraine. lstrall-
roads, in Russian hands, could be
cut before an invader got close TO
the Russia that existed before the
war.
Bessarabia offers Russia de-
tense from attack from the south.
From the mouths of the Danube
west to the Transylvanian Alps
is a narrow bottleneck which
could be held by relatively small
number of troops. 1t would be a
simple matter--and Russia would
not hesitate TO do ito step
across the Prut river and march
the few miles across Moidavia
necessary to secure the western
flank of the bottleneck.

the Russians could fall back. up

NEW BERN TO BUILD
NEGRO LIBRARY AT
COST OF $1,000

NEW BERN, Nov. 27-Contract
for a new Negro library building
here has been let by the board OF
directors of the New Bern Colored
Library association to E. c. Eth
eridge, local contractor.
The structure of concrete blocks
will be erected at once on the lot
purchased several years ago for
the purpose. 1t is across the street
from the Good Shepherd hospital
for Negroes and will be of some
what similar colonial architecture
in design. The contract price is for
Sc, 700.
Already 81, 900 is on hand for the
work. Efforts will be made by the
directors to raise additional funds,
and the white and colored mem.
bers of the board will borrow
money to complete the cost from
the building and loan association.
For years the library has been
housed in a tiny alcove at the
West Street high school building,
and there has not been sufficient
room for its books. War restric.
tons delayed building plans, bur
it is now expected that the new
library will be ready for use dur.
ing the spring.

CARRIER SARATOGA
EARMARKED BY NAVY
FOR EXPERIMENTS

WASHINGTON, Nov. q. - R -
The Navy said today the Aircraft
Carrier Saratoga, oldest carrier
of the fleet, was among the sur
plus ships of the Navy which have
been tentatively earmarked for ex-
detrimental purposes.
Officials emphasized that this
did not mean the famous old car
rier was marked for use in any
projected atomic bomb tests
Neither the Saratoga nor any other
ship has been selected for that
purpose, they said.
There are many invaluable serv-
ices, a Navy spokesman explained,
which can be rendered in expert
mental work by ships outmoded
for combat duty.
The Saratoga is now engaged
in transport duty bringing home
veterans from the Pacific theater.

HENDERSON COUNCIL
OPPOSES PROPOSED
BUGGS ISLAND DAM

HENDERSON, Nov. 27-P)- A
resolution passed by the Hender-
son City Council has requested
the Federal government not to
erect a multi-purpose dam at a
Buggs Island site on the Roanoke
river.
Instead, the Council asked con-
struction of series of dry dams
to provide flood control in the
Roanoke River Valley without
rendering useless valuable lands
along the river as it said would
be the case with the Bugs Island
dam.
The resolution said the high dam
would flood and destroy a large
portion of the county and cause
serious economic losses to PEG
pie of the City of Henderson and
Vance county.
The declaration voiced desire
to see the Roanoke River Valley
protected from floods. IF the same
can be accomplished without seri.
ously affecting our economic con.
dition'' it was set forth, 1--WE are
advised and believe flood protec-
ton could be accomplished at
relatively small cost"
