The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1946-02-15

Truth crushed to earth shall
rise againl
HABERDASHERY INCREASES
Halbert Lewinsky, manager of
LeWinsky's Furniture Store at
628 DuVal street, announces that
the furniture GOING OUT OF
BUSINESS sale is providing a
big success and attributes the
success of the sale to his adver-i
Using in The Citizen. The furni-
ture store which has bene in eX-,
istence for years in Key West
will be closed down and all the
furniture is now up for sale at
very low prices. Mr. Lewinsl1y
will devote all his time to MAX
ing the mems haberdashery store
adjacent one of the city's best.
FIRST LADY CASE
Mrs. Caverley, the city's new
policewoman, Key Vests first
was called on her first case yes
terday which looked as if it
might be a hot one, but the
charges were dropped and Mrs.
Caverley will have to wait until
next time to solve a SAGE. The
case in question was the theft of
SIS from a lady's purse.
ANNAPOLIS OF THE AIR
Took a tour of Naval Air Sta
ton yesterday, both of the Sea-
plane Base and Boca Chica Field
and my eyes were opened wide
at the tremendous scope of the
operation. There will be series
of articles on the base as soon
as Public Information Officer
Lieutenant MacNeil clears the.
stories. MacNeil incidentally was
editor of the Ocala Banner before
the war. Suffice it to say for
the present that Key West is
Annapolis of the Air" in the
Night Fighter Training Program
besides an important plane sup
ply point to South American
bases.
GIFTS-ENTERPRISE
Along this line of thought
many have asked of the chances
of getting a municipal pier for
charter boats and sponge boats,
of the possibility of building a
beautiful concrete stadium to
draw down big league teams here
for exhibition games and prob
ably spring training, and of the
proposed yacht harbor. This sort
Of work will have to be done
by /. Gifts. 2. Private Enterprise.
The city has little funds for this
type of work and is better suited
to keeping within it's government
proper anyway. There are a
great many places in the country
where wealthy men give beauti-
full structures to the cities and to
Yacht Clubs. This might de-,
velop in Key West. Although it
has not to date. The other is in
vestment The boom which Miami
has long feared for the Keys
and Key West is at last here and
will open up when building ma
terials are released. There will
be much investment.
WORK BEING DONE NOW
Right now the city is buying
lands for the Yacht Harbor site
and favors leasing to the best
man. The Tom Wilson project
seems to be highest in favor right
now. The Junior Chamber of
Commerce is working hard right
now to get the Country Club,
house and fix it up for a COM
munity hall Wish the Country
Club Association would give up
its lease on the property and turn
II back to the city so that the
city can once again lease it to the
one giving the best offer. asg
HEALTH UNIT GOOD go,
The proposed sponsorship of
the Health Unit by the county
alone seems to be an excellent
proposition. Not only will il give
the Unit more money but there
viii be one captain in charge of
the ship. The Unit takes INDECENT
cases as certified by the Welfare
Board here. 1t is not designated
as a hospital for INDECENT care
but just for those phases of state
and u. S. Public Health functions
which are now in great need.
Tor instance, there is work done
against the dread tuberculosis
disease, there is much being done
against venereal disease. There
are also free trips for indigents to
state hospitals for treatment.
There is dental work. There is a
tremendous amount of education
examination in INDECENT pre-
natal work and instruction of
nidwives. Thus the principal
kinds of diseases and preventive
medicines on these are taken care
