KNOW THEY REST IN PEACE

To tens of thousands of American
families, during the war years, came tele-
grams from the War Department, eve
deeply regret to inform you -.
The shock of the loss of loved one
was soon followed by the realization that
many thousand miles separated the family
from the burial place on foreign soil. The
memories which the families held so dear
were haunted by the bewilderment con-
corning the final resting place and the
care of the grave which could be neither
viewed nor decorated because of distance.
Cooperating with the Memorial Di-
vision of the Quarter Master Corps, The
American Legion has acted as haven to
those who seek comfort in obtaining infor-
nation relating to the final resting place
of our war dead.
Each day into the Graves Registra-
ton Division of the Legion come requests
from mothers, wives and families .
letters asking, where is he buried?"'.
was my son given the last rights?" =.
was a chaplain of my sons faith pres
ent?" To these troubled families goes a
personal letter of sympathy and all the
vital information obtainable. Because most
of the families will never be able to visit
the army cemetery, a picture goes with
each letter. The picture of that sacred
ground which is a part of America even
though it be surrounded by foreign soil,
the final resting place of Americas war
dead.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
has been set aside in a trust fund by The
American Legion which is used exclusively
for the decoration of overseas graves. This
assurance to the families that the row on
row of white crosses and Stars of David
will never be neglected or forgotten is a
fulfillment of the Legion's pledge to con-
secrate and sanetify their devotion to THEN
fallen comrades.

NEW KEY WEST LIFE
BY L. p. ARTMAN. JR.


NEW KEY WEST LIFE
Many l have talked to tell me
that about Key West. 1t is some.
thing new to live. The natural
surroundings, the architecture
the mode of life they like. Now
that Key Westers are apparently
Swapping out of their lethargy
and GOING AFTER THINGS
THEY WISH, these newcomers
feel happier about living here
They wish a happy community
they wish an exciting community.
NEW POLITICAL SPIRIT
A politician the other day was
telling me he was going to work
along lines of the new spirit
which has come to Key West, a
spirit in which there is coopera-
ton between Key Wester and
newcomer because there is. NUT
ual respect for what is being
done. Everyone is noticing this
new life.

FROM UNDER OUR NOSES

GOnzalo ke8amilla, president OF the
Lions Club, complained in The Citizen
about the lack of cooperation the Lions
are meeting with iii their campaign to
clean up Key West and keep it clean,
Benny Fernandez, who responds read

H. respaN&Sve eAag<l, The company. when
news was released about it's having hor-
rowed $2,SOo,0O to build and operate
ferries. announced that they would be OPP
Grated between Key West and Havana.
Since then, from up Miami way, have come
reports that the civic huStlers in that city
are trying to get the ferries. Ii we don't
get together in a never~say-quit drive for
the ferries. they will be taken from under
our very noses.
Incidentally, Benny as he is generally
called. has what it takes" to entertain
visitors to Key West by ministering to the
elmer man He is Shriner, and every
member of the Key West Shrine Club will
step forward and declaim that Benny
makes the best conch soup and the best
chowder of any kind produeible in Key
West or elsewhere.
When the Miamians came to town
for the John K Clemmer ceremonial, it
was Benny who was conscripted by the
local Shrine Club to cook for them at the
Key West Yacht clubhouse. And after the
visitors had eaten, several of them sought
Benny for his recipes for black beans and
rice, his conch soups and his chowders.
Palatable meals: who would not travel
far to get them? J. Mark Wilcox, when he
was our representative in Washington,
told us he had made it point to come to
Key West on several occasions to enjoy
bowls and dishes of conch soup and conch
chowder.
The Citizen regrets to say that Mr.
Bezanilla and Benny, in their efforts to
rouse the people of Key West to a realiza-
ton of the Importance of their performing
civic duties efficiently, are crying out in
the wilderness" The Citizen, in thousand
columns, has appealed to Key Westers to
develop the go-getter habit in civic mat
tiers, but the appeals fell on ears stuffed
with cotton.
Probably we will wake up some day,
but why not wake up now? Why wait till
the ferries and everything else will be
taken from under our very noses?

chapter Is


TT was after three hours good
walking that the servants of
Cedric. with their mysterious
guide, arrived at small opening
In the forest. Here four or FIVE,
women lay stretched on the
ground, while another, as senti-
mel. walked to and fro in the
moonlight shade.
Upon hearing the sound of feet
approaching, the watch instantly
gave the alarm, and the sleepers
as suddenly started up and bent
their bows. Six arrows placed on
the string were pointed towards
the quarter from which the trav-
ellers approached when their
guide. being recognized, was well
coined with every token of re-
spect and attachment. and all
signs and fears of rough recep-
ton at once subsidized.
'Disperse and seek your COM
panions. I go to the hermit's
chapel and collect whatsoever be
there. Collect what force you can,
for there's game afoot that must
be hunted hard, and will turn to
bay. Meet me here by daybreak.-

closely, for even if they reach the
castle before we collect our force
our honour is concerned to pun

While these measures were
taking in behalf of Cedric and his
companions, the armed men by
whom the latter had been seized
hurried their captives along to-
wards the place of security, where
they intended to imprison them.
Cedric no sooner saw the tur-
rets of Front-de-Beuf's castle

which they were surrounded

TWO LEADERSHIP FACTORS

Leadership in Key West must
be composed of two factors; l.
Experience; 2. Visit. Without Ell
Their one, the other isn't worth a
boot. The experienced man who
can't see beyond his nose cannot
plan well for the town. The Wis
ionary individual who can't put
his plans over, also isn't doing
ANYTHING. There is enough of
both in this town to do the good
needed.

BIZARRE NEW LIFE

Now, let us take this feeling
into the field of the bizarre. When
tourists GO to Havana or Miami,
do they have something new to
live? You bet, horse races and
dog races, sousing at bars, fast
life, fast women, all mixed IN
with a new climate and new
race of people. 1t is fast life
but still it was something new.
There were extremes there al
most undreamed of. I wouldn't
recommend that sort of life but
still the tourists flock there be-
cause it is something. NEW TO
LIVE. -.

TIME RUNNING OUT

Evidently the tone of these re-
cent articles calling on Key West
to wake out of its lethargy and
make itself into tourist town is
starting to have effect, The most
startling shock came when MAS

Just ahead then. Just think, if
the tourist plan had been started
six months ago, we would have
been that far ahead. See how
much time can be quickly lost
when no effort is being expended.

BIG THREE

ADVERTISING, PROJECTS,
TOURIST COURTESY seem to
be the big tickets. Regarding
tourist courtesy and projects,
there is one point 1 would like to
emphasize. Right now, Key West
is getting to be an exciting place
in which to live because there IS
a lot popping. Navy officials are
interested in the city and its eff
forts to better itself. They are
interested, too, in the fresh, new
work being done along these
lines. These are men from all
over the country. If they are in
terested in our work, tourists will
also.

 Interception of cough or sneeze spray is most important for the individual with the cold" says Dr. Albert D. Kaiser health officer of Rochester, N. Y, in a bulletin on '"The Common Cold" published III Hospital News Service.
