WHERE OUR FUTURE LIES

Most of us were too optimistic about
the number Of people in Key West, as the
first figures issued by the census enumer-
ator for Monroe county indicated, with
only 1924 listed at that time.
Mrs. Hutcheson, the enumeration, said
the compilation was incomplete, but to
what extent nobody knows until all 4skips'
have been listed.
1t is safe to say, however that the
final number will fall far short of .esti-
mates that went as high as $4,000 and
mere
OF course, armed service personnel
are not included in the count neither is
anybody who has not resided here six
months or intends to. move away within the
next six months.
Probably Key West reached its peak
of population about a year ago, and had
The census been taken at that time the total
would have been much more than it will
De- Since then many hundreds of work
men have left Key West with their families.
But Key Vests future does not lie in
big population, though, for some unex-
planned reason, the leaders in all cities
strive to increase the number of residents,
as though progress lay in that direction
What is of far more Importance to Key
West is in making it city that will be at
.factive to tourists, and we are in better
position now than ever before to gain that
goal. aa
Heretofore, it did not require many tour
SITS or visitors who came here to pass the
winter to take up all our housing accom-
modations, but things are different now.
Several thousand visitors will learn, on
their coming here in postwar days, that
they will be able to get accommodations
with all modern improvements.
Key West Chamber of Commerce has
prepared to 'go after tourists and all
winter as well as all-year-round residents,
as soon as the country is at peace. Many
names of persons who have inquired about
Key West are on file in the chambers Of
flee. and, with our Overseas Highway now
in tiptop condition, the outlook is promis-
ing that Key West will entertain far more
tourists in the postwar world than ever
before.

81 AM AN AMERICAN DAY

A man in U. s. Army uniform stood
in the blazing North African sunshine.
Facing him s.ood special representative
aem the u. S. immigration and Natural
zation Service. Both faces were serious
and the voice of the man in uniform trerl-
5led slightly as he promised to absolutely
and entirely renounce and adjure all allegi-
anee and fidelity to any foreign prince, po-
entate, stssas or sovereignty of whom or
which he heretofore been citizen or
subject; t6 ppsrt. and befriend thescen-
stitution ands laws sf the U. S. A. against
all enemies, foreign and domestic; to be
true, faithful and pledge allegiance to
same, and to take this obligation firmly
without any mental reservation or purpose
of evasion--so help him God.
His buddies say that was the proudest
and happiest day OF his life. At last the
country he loved had made him one of its
own. A few weeks later he was killed in
Italy-just few miles from. the little vii
lage where he was born.
There are 1892 other men and wom-
en- of the armed forces who have been nat
ufaiiZed in the European, North African,
Middle East, Persian and Pacific war thea
tiers. A total of 102, 149 in our armed forces
have taken the oath of citizenship since
Pearl Harbor
asIts is to these men and women that 81
Ana An American Day is primarily dedi-
Gated on May 20, 1915. Even before this
country received them as citizens, they
chose torisk their lives totdefend it. Some
have lost their lives. The great majority
will return, full-fledged citizens, already
having proved that they will give far more
than lip service to the ideals of their
country,
II Am An American Day offers the
rest Of us a chance to take stock, and see
Just how much more than lip service we
ourselves are giving to those ideals.
