i''Young men should not only
take an active part in local and
state affairs but should familiar
ize themselves with world
events George Smathers, former
president. of the Miami Junior
Chamber of Commerce and re-
Gently discharged Captain in the
U. S. Marine Corp, stressed this
in his talk to the Jaycees at their
regular dinner meeting at the
Gulf Stream Restaurant last night
Youth today is predominant,
during the war no one organiza-
ton gave as many members to
the armed forces as the Junior
Chamber of Commerce, Smathers
stated. Jaycee clubs throughout
the state were almost depleted
This, of course was in a large
measure due to the age. reqnire7
ments of the. club. Nevertheless
.thess Jayeee clubs. contributed Ia
large part of their members to
the war effort,'i
q Smathers said he was proud Of
the part the Jaycees had taken
in state affairs, particularly those
pertaining to the citrus industries
and governmental affairs in Flor
ida. In Nevada the Jaycees were
responsible for revising the tax
laws, and installing a new sys-
tenn of school work.
The Key West Jaycees are
known throughout the state for
the active part they have played
in civic affairs, and while it was
not the largest, it was the opinion
that there were certainly none
more active.

tinued,, there were many in

Key West Views
PICTURES DETRAcTED FROM
4 GENERAL APPEARANCE
OF ISLAND CITY

Key Westers have been COM
planning aplenty about three
views of this city that were pub
lished in Lie for last week.
As many residents have put it:
Lies photographer surely had
to go out of his way to find the
two views that detracted from
the general appearance of Key
West. The other view was a part
of an artists conception of Flor
ida, and he placed the pirates
black flag and skull and bones
to indicate where Key West was
at the southerly tip of Florida.
The two camera pictures were
of the old turtle slaughterhouse
and a. stretch of swamp. One
view was given of, sWampland
and stunted trees. along. the
Overseas Highway as typical Of
the waste, land through which
the highway passed. IS
Shortly after seeing the, pic
lures in Life Manager, Stephen
cochrane Singleton of the Key
West Chamber of Commerce
wrote to Life, enclosing three
views of beauty spots here and
commenting adversely on the ac-
ion of the photographer in pick
ing out unattractive spots for his
pictures.
Mr.. Singleton has not had time
to hear from his letter, but a
most peculiar thing has happened
n connection with Irene Saint,
who wrote the article about
Florida, which was published IN
onneciton with the pictures.
Tohn 3. Bruza, a member of the
life editorial staff, told Miss
Saint he wished to spend few
weeks in Florida and asked her
20 tell him what place she would
;uggest for his vacation And she
promptly, told hinaEs KEY, West"
AS a result Of. that, advice, Mr.
