The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1952-08-06


not yet been fully shown. This is
the anniversary Of the dropping
Of the A-Bomb on Hiroshima.
What it means through the be-
elouded eyes of the shocked and
burned Japanese is another mat
Ger. Coincidentally enough, my
favorite editorial was printed
only yesterday in this paper.
Enough Of that, and on to gayer,
lighter subjects.
The first successful talking pic
ture was shown in New York
City this date in 1928. To most
of us, silent movies are a dim,
hazy recollection, or ridiculous
rt-releases. This is also a birth
day anniversary, August 9th
being the birthdate OF Alfred
Lloyd Tennyson (poet) born in
1909. He has to date contributed
more to the world than the
A-Bomb.
And SO, on August 9Th, 1852, !
shall attempt to contribute to the
Citizens of Key West all I have
learned in the line of Shop Hop
ping since last we met. Yoiks!-
Or something.
