Does Key West want to ex-

which once lost can never be re-

gained by becoming a race track

And, anyway, is Key West so

run if they, could not gamble on
the outcome? Wherever the suck
ers school up, the barracuda rally
round. Now. does Key West be-
lieve that it can benefit from the
new money sufficiently to offset
damage that can result to its
present prospects by cumming
for barracuda?
For, Key West has a very at
tractive present prospect. Only
st. Augustine can compare with,
but can rot equal Key West in
the attraction that its unique
isolation from all of the CONNER
cialized sordidness of the "resort"
towns has for the finest class of
visitors and residents, the artists,
thinkers, writer's and musicians
of the country.
True, they do not spend money
like the successful hitter of a
Jackpot. On the other hand,
they acquire loyalty for the city
of their choice that results in a
growing and dependable repeat
business. Nor, can they. be lured
away to follow the crowd to some
flash opening of a new sensation
al excitement with the hope of
winning money with the odds
against them.
Against the money that race
track followers may bring in,
check up on the money the cars
and the jewelry that the unlucky
ones can take out. The Miami
papers print, almost daily, an APP
palling list of the "get away
money" collected unilaterally, as
we say in diplomatic circles, and

COAL AT pr. BARROW
 SUPPLIES ALL LOCAL
 NEEDS, WIDE SECTION

Director Robert Sanford of the Bureau of Mines revealed that enough coal was taken out of the mine location near Point Barrow this year to supply all local needs in the Barrow and Wainwright areas and to fill warehouse with the surplus. Sanford said that coal deposits have been discovered all over the area north of Brooks Range Mining operations to meet local requirements are under way along the Colville River. Cape Lis Ion, the Killik River, and north east along the coast to Pearl Bay.
 He said that many of the Es- kimos have moved their homes into the nine areas to be near tfe source of fuel supplies. Since l945 these mines, which were lnvestigat- cd and operated for the first time in history in l943, have continued to supply fuel requirements for the Arctic areas. Sanford stated that, despite the fact that unlimited coal resources are available, the high cost of shipping prevents commar- cial disposal of coal outside the Territory. Another drawback is the ub-bituminous quality of the coal in some areas. This softness makes shipping undertakings difficult and in some cases impossible. Since the ground in this far north coal belt is frozen for hire months out of the year. all mining operations must he carried out during the summer months.
 Sanford said that one private concern is interested at the pres ent time in establishing a barge undertaking along the Arctic Coast vicinity for future delivery of coal into towns and villages within widespread radius.
