| Esbelieve that | have earned the
right to- call myself private citi-
zen of Key West, sincerely dcvot-
cd to its welfare.
We are at the fork of the roads.
The future of Key West depends
largely upon our decision. as to
whether or not we shall permit
the installation of a dog track.
We have the opportunity to
maintain Key West as a unique
Florida town, with an especial
appeal to a fine, middle class of
visitors and home owners, or to
permit ii to become a small irnita-
ton of Miami Beach, infested by
the camp followers of race tracks
and draining money from the le-
Ultimate business houses of the
city.
1t is common complaint in
Miami that, during the racing sea-
son, the professional men, the gro
GERS. and retail merchants gener-
ally, find their collections fall off
to a distressing degree. ri
Now, not content with a long
season. tiaere1tis aitfnove on the
part of the racing interests to OPP

Here is what a Miami -esgre-
spendent writes: sIttwill drain
the pockets of the working and
small income people Who COM
prise the majority of the all round
residents. The various business
enterprises here don't want it, as
the money that goes to racing
would help them along. The fam
lilies dent want it to take the
bread out of their mouths"
We have the widest possible
welcome for that splendid Amer
lean middle class who will fill
, Key West TO capacity if we keep
il clean One of our attractions
at present is the feeling of visitors
that this is a friendly town, de-
void of honky-tonk features that
distinguish nearby resorts.
Our welcome is to those who
will add to the prosperity of Key
West, for those who would simply
exploit it, there can be no well
come from any thinking citizen.
1t is not a question of ethics;
it is a question the decision on
which will determine the future
of Key West. We are not attack
ing racing or race tracks. We are
defending the property of a city,
Key West is regarded with af-
lection by friends far outside our
borders. The poet laureate of
Florida has expressed this feeling
in these lines; ~

GOSPEL MESSAGE
CAN WE KNOW THAT WE
HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?
By REV. CARL LAYNE

ject ia great deal of controver-
sy among Christians for a good
many years, and it is the purpose
of this message to try and clear
up Tor some of you, who are of
the opinion that we can never be
certain o four salvation until we
have been resurrected from the
dead. What an uneasy feeling
must hover about those who are
not sure that they have passed
from death unto life. That condi-
ton should not exist in the life
of any Christian for the the
word of God yer yclearly sets
for absolute proof that assurance
OF salvation belongs to every
child of God. 1t is the blessed
privilege of every born-again per
son to know beyond the slightest
doubt that they are the possess
ors of eternal life (this very mo-
ment) for in John SPA we read:
Verify, verify, l say unto you,
he that heareth my word, adm
believeth on him that sent me,
hath everlasting life, and shall
not come into condemnation, but
is passed from death unto life"
Notice the word HATH, which is
the present tense, the word does
not say that we will some day
receive eternal life, but it tells
us that we already have it. Let
us read l John, 3:l-2 Behold
what manner of love the Father
hath bestowed upon us that we
should be called the sons of God;
therefore the world knoWeth us
not, because it knew him not.
Behold, now are we the sons
OF God, and it doth not yet ap-
pear what we shall be: but we
know that when he shall appear
we shall be like him, for we shall
see him as he is"
would like to direct your at
tention to the words recorded by
the apostle John in John 2O:31:
"But these are written, that We
might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God and that
believing We might have life thru
his name"
In the first epistle of John 5:13
we find words that ought to con
vince any child of God that he
has eternal life NOW. Let us
read them: "These things have
written unto you that believe on
the name of the Son of God; that
we KNOW that We HAVE eternal
life, and that we may believe on
the name of the Son of God"
No other proof would be need
ed to convince me that l have
eternal life which began on that
never to be forgotten day, June
IL, 1898, when the Spirit of God
convicted me of my sins and

With the word victory" relating only to World War II last season, as far as they were concerned, in- asmuch as Wilby's 1914 high school football squad could not finish on the long end of the score even once throughout eight games; the i945 squad of young Wildcats, 40 strong In August, can do no worse than its immediate predecessor team of l944. And, while not too hopeful until he sees how the boys shape up" under fire for the first time, head coach Thomas (Pinter) Purcell, who play. ed his football at Crosby and Wash. ington College, honestly believes that things are getting better all She time."
 Question Mark
 Tn the first place, Football this year, as far as Wilby was concern ed, was a large, curling question mark when the teen-agers went home for summer vacation last June. Today, there is a lusty squad of more than 30 boys ready and anx- ious for that first game of the sea- son on the sod of Municipal Sta dium. Saturday, September 29 against Plainville High.
 Last mid-season, following an ac- cident in the Leavenworth game, in which Mario Quattro, key Wilby player suffered a broken leg, and after steady losses, due to 8 small and inexperienced squad, football at Wilby was suddenly dropped. upon order of Principa Joseph P. Ken- nedy, who said, to bar further in- juries, and seeing no hope of victory, other scheduled games must be can celled.
 Girls Petition
 The boys on the team didn't like it-not even a little bit. The girls at the school were even more distress ed; so much so, that they got up a petition, signed by almost every student, asking for continuation of football at the commercial high school. Win or lose, Wilby team, or Wilby player was never known to quit" since the first Wilby bas- kstball, baseball and football teams in the early years of the schools existence were regularly outscored by Crosby.
 As a result of the student petition, Principal Kennedy called an as- sembly, and with Coach Purcell stated the football situation plainly, bluntly and with mo punches pull ed". At that point, the long-dor- mant and locally-famed Wilby spirit" came up like a tidal wave, A dozen or more boys, potential football material that did not try
