Editor, The Citizen.
Things will be better when
the ferry arrives"
How often have you heard the
above remark
Can a ferry help Key West to
the point of independence? Can
a ferry support Key Vests pop
ulation of approximately $4,000
people? A ferry TO Cuba will
bring tourist down, but Key West
will only be a stopover, and you
need more than a stopover to
help the city.
| have talked to quite a num-
Der of tourists and they all seem
10 give me the very same am
swer 1--WE arrived today and are
leaving tomorrow. What can
Key West offer a tourist who IS
looking for a vacation of comfort
and excitement? Outside of the
historical sights and fishing
grounds, what other amusement
have we to offer?
There is nothing else Key West
can turn to but Tourist Trade
and Tourist Trade alone, since
there is no industry. There is no
way a man can earn a living be-
sides fishing or sponging.
The recent lay off at MOB hurt
Key West very much: What
would happen if MOB, MAS and
Boca Chica padlocked their gates
and moved (Which could hap
pen)? l have talked to number
of families whose men were laid
off. Most of them are leaving
to find work up north. That is
the only reason they are leaving,
They really do not want to leave
Key West but what else can they
do? If there was work here for
them, they would not have to
leave and would be more than
glad to stay. To find work out
side of the military yards is al
most impossible,
So what is the answer? My
answer is gambling. BY gamb-
ling, / do not mean a sneak joint
with peep-holes and back doors.
/ mean licensed and honest
gambling casinos. run and main
tanned by people in the open. A
regular business, not "a ng7by-
night proposition. Reno, New,
g, town .that. is located in the des-
ert country with nothing but heat
and sand can show more profit
than an industrial town ten times
its SIZE. But ii makes a business
of its gambling and a business
that pays off. If Key West could
copy Reno, Newell say there
would be more money and Stour-
lists flowing down here than Key
West could handles A race track
teither horse or dog or perhaps
a jai alai game might be one an
swer to satisfy vacationers.
That is my answer. Iftyou- have
a better one, please write.
F: B. WAYNE.
