BUILDING UP KEY WEST

Identification is one of the main factors in any city
TINT aspes for tourist trade The Citizen stressed that
fact in an editorial last Monday and points out
that what is true of a city is also true of county.
To civc-minded residents, what the best stories
that appear in newspaper? The Citizen published one
of those Tuesday in its comprehensive survey OF
economy other progressive conditions in the city and
elsewhere in the county One part of the story said
Is because of the development of the Overseas
Highway as of the scenic wonders of the nation
The Citizen heretofore has spoken of that develop
men and the time is opportune to again that the de-
veopment continuing BY the time the highway becomes
tohfree January of 1853 will be dotted with beauti-
fpafNays along much Of the route But the parkways
not only add to the scenic wonder they also flank the
right Of way with that will protect in times of storms
This being done without cost to residents of
Monroe county other than the tolls they pay Were the
work Identification left undone taxpayers in Monroe
as well as in all other in the state would pay for
the identifying improvements assuming they would be
DONE which would not be likely in the immediate future.
Another item in the comprehensive article should
give impetus activity to get larger volume of tour
list trade 1t was the statement that 81 percent of Key
population represented by the Nays personnel
and its dependents The time will has other
occasions Naval Base when the number of the
sonnet and its dependents will be reduced to what extent
only international conditions will determine If a
peace is established, President Truman is striving to
establish then the reduction at the Naval Base will be
substantial it will adversely affect economy.
We must work to offset that contingency in as large
possible Our most promising field of en-
eavor attract tourists Key West The tourist
strade is the biggest Industry in Florida 1t built up
Miami ST. Petersburg and other cities and will build up
Key West If we persistently go after it.

foolish assumption. So far despite the audatory state
mens of those who seek build the morale of these
pies there is nothing in the record to indicate that the
peoples of Asia with the possible exception of the Jap

we have objection to the people who enjoy West
civilization attempting spread the benefits of their
civilization and culture to other peoples We think silly
however to endow these peoples with the attributes of
those who much more developed and, in relation
ships with them withhold the facts in order to build up
the morale of these less-deveoped peoples.
We have no explanation for the phenomenal advance
of those who enjoy what is currently termed Western CT

~ and without doubt that the progress of the world
