even sharper than it is"
Even after the drop, the
weeks production of steel ingots
and castings was 2.085.373 net
tons, and steel noted that "a lit
tie less than three years ago,
such a tonnage figure was con-
sidered a real accomplishment"
Although the automobile in
dustry, biggest customer of the
steel business. is expecting No

MOTEL OWNER PROTESTS

Editor, The Citizen:
Jim Cobb's story last Friday
about the Motel owner who had a
newlywed couple brought back
from Marathon to be thrown in
Jail was a black eye to the rest
of US here in the Motel business.
II the story was complete as
printed and the damages involved
were merely broken ashtray and
burned bed spread, / and the rest
of the Motel owners / have spoken
to hang our heads in shame. We
would like very much TO know the
name of this Motel owner who Ger.
tainly didn't help to build good will
or better business for Key West in
general.
To the Management Of Ramo-
Minis Restaurant who hailed out
these strangers, our deepest
thanks.
I feel that IN any future incident
of like nature. the individuals
should be named and not belittle
an entire industry as was done In
this instance.
Sincerely,

CHRISTMAS CONTINUED
Editor, The Citizen:

Editor, The Citizen:
With referance to the Comments
Answered topic in this past weeks
forum, it would be fitting for me
to try and clear the author why
such a fuss is made over Christ's
birthday.
Christ is the symbol Of the en-
tire Christian church which was
originally the break from the pa
gan and Jewish beliefs and the
beginning of the new Testament.
This new era however, was never
recorded until at least 10 years
after his death, and followed by
the other three books Of the Gospel
written up to the end Of the first
century. This alone proves one
thing, that the church came before
the Bible writings, and il was not
till in the fourth century that the
early church fathers decided to put
all the material into one great
book, and thus came what we nov
call the Bible.
Certainly the book contains Gods
word, but il must be remembered
that It too was written by humans
as we, and no one other than God
is perfect. Because Of this fact,
we accept their words for those
that God revealed TO the people If
the times. bit not being able 10

Businessmen, Politicos Are
Divided On Economic Outlook

Many businessmen go along with
this view. They cite the cushions
of unemployment insurance, the
ability TO speed up the arms pro-
gram again if needed, and the
various stimulants to business
which government agencies can
apply through the manipulation Of
money and credit.
They add that government could
always give business a lift BY low.

the purchasing power Of strapped

As for the need Of further plans

BEYOND DUTY

Editor, The Citizen:
We, as representatives of many
Key West High School students
would like to request that due re-
cognition be given to Patrolman
Joseph Phillips, our school cop.
During the storm that occurred
around noon, on Friday, the ninth
of this month, he earnestly per-
formed his duty of safeguarding
our student body.
With complete disregard for his
own safety or comfort, he con-
tinued to guide students across the
street. At time the torrential rain
was so thick, that once could
hardly see him, much less the APP
preaching motorists in their
vehicles.
When asked by some why he
didn't take cover, he answered,
1T was my duty and l had a
post to take care Of
This Is just one OF many out
standing feats performed by our
local police department. We, as
members of the student body Of
Key West High School, would like
to take this opportunity to express
our appreciation to Mr.. Phillips
and the Key West Police Depart
ment. We would also like to bring
to view the fact, that our patrol
man, Mr.. Phillips, has done much
to increase safety at this danger
Gus intersection.
Sincerely yours.

pears to have been trivial. On the
basis of the stated facts, it GER
tainly did not warrant the action
taken. I think that IS per cent of
motel owners would not have taken
such action.
Any motel owner knows that
some members of the travelling
public are completely careless of
other peoples property. Breakage,
burns, stains, scratches, missing
linens etc. form an item of con-
siderable expense. However, it is
an expense that is mostly antici-
pated. 1t is mighty mighty seldom
that a motel owner has a guest
arrested even for a major damage.
The inference in Jim's column
(not intentional, I'm sure) was that
motel owners are a hard hearted
lot. / know this isn't true. Most
of US do pretty good job of max
ing visitors to Key West comfor-
table, giving him clean, attractive
Accommodations at fair prices, and
helping him enjoy his stay in Key
i, West. The repeat business which
most of us have and the new bust
ness sent by former guests indi-
Gates that many people have been
well pleased with the treatment
they have had in Key West motels.
Please don't, even by inference,
condemn us all for the action Of
one.

on the people that it's traditional
every May 30, July 4, First Mon
day in September, and so on.
You aren't different from the
many followers of these ideas, or
you would be called a hyprocrite.
These other dates could be differ
ent ones too, but as they stand
they represent something special,
and thus December 25th, the
scheduled birthday of our spiritual
leader, Christ.
The statement, that 0rigen, an
early Christmas, made that sim
ners alone celebrated their birth
days, is correct and we are sin
ners or else we wouldn't be Of
this world. However, in this case
we the people are celebrating the
birthday and not Christ. It's our
way of expressing love and adj
miration for God who came unto
this earth so we might be born
again. You can't argue the cir
cumstances of his birth, for the
old Testament does cover this, but
you could be more open minded
to accept the purpose of this day.
1t was wonderful point in bring
ing out Santa Claus, for business
men have sure gained capital from
it; but what it has to do with
Christ's birthday and st. Nicholas
is this: that the spirit of giving
gifts to one another is having re-
ceived the message OF the angels
message at the time of His birth.
"Peace on earth and good will to
men of good cheerl" This alone
is good, but the commercialized
racket is Unfair to those who are
true believers and not stockholders.
It would be great if this one idea
could be changed.
The fore runner Of this gift CIV
l ing is not st. Nick, but the three
kings. Also incorrect in the article
is that St. Nick is not the patron
saint of wrong doors, but of chill
dren and sea goers. A deep history
covers him from thieves, and its
a good thing to look into, and be
more positive when making such
statement.
Santa Claus had done no injus-
tice to the children of the past,
but again the commercialized rae
ket is at fault. II gives the chill
dren ideas, and not knowing what
is behind the game causes the in
difference, but not mistrust in
their parents. How many do you
know that actually say that their
parents have lied? Not many, for
the average person has an inner
feeling that happiness was trying
to be attained and not misinter-
probation. Is il also best to keep
the facts of life hidden from them
until they can realize its true
meaning, and no stork is needed.
Use your head please, and realize
what the people OF the centuries
before us have goLe thru. Christ
mas is still December 18th, and
365 days q year make UP period
of trial and suffering. God helps
those who help themselves.

NEW YORK Alright in the
middle of flood o. optimism
about the outlook for business. jobs
and incomes the Presidents Coun-
ell of Economic Advisers has sent
troublesome bottle floating.
And in the bottle are two notes.
One reads: Is a slump on the way?
And the other: If so, what to do till
the doctor comes?
Businessmen are asking the
same things.
And both businessmen and the
Presidents masterminds are di-
yided on the answers. The two
queries reveal one Of the funda-
mental splits in economic thinking
in this country.
In both the ranks of business
(probably three to one) and in the
Council two to one) a majority
thinks a slump is surely in the
cards, sooner or later.
A yociferous minority insists lit
amt necessarily So"
But If a slump is coming when
defense spending slides off, what
first aid measures should be TAX
en-: What preventatiyes: What
cures?
A majority Of the Council (two)
thinks government should act. II
should prepare now "a total anti
recession economic strategy
which in the main seems to mean
government pump printing, with .
lesser assist from industry.
