l WARM.UP HUT SECURED FOR IICE SKATING RINK

Progress on the success of the ?. A. R. C. ice skating rink went up another notch this week, when Leo Lucas moved the Democratic Club booth from the Fairgrounds to the rink. The local political club has loaned the booth to P. A. R. C. for use this winter as a temporary warm-up hut As soon as possible a stove will be added.
 Members of the recreation group announced this week that they are in need of snow shovels, brooms, and man or youth-power to help keep the rink clear of snow. Flooding of the rink is be- ing taken care of by adult vol unteers but the snow removal chore is more than two or three man job and the youngsters are urged to volunteer their services in sweeping the rink Following a heavy fall of snow, the use of a small tractor has been secured but there still remains some snow re- moval that must be done by hand and prior to flooding, the rink must be swept clean of all STOW for good water penetration.

School Vacation
 To Begin Today

Christmas activities in the Pal mer schools this week have in- cluded the presentation on Mon- day and Tuesday of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, by grades one through six of Swanson School.
 The attendance at both per formances was high, with some parents who had attended on Monday returning on Tuesday to see it again. It would be difficult to pick any one section of the performance for praise The en- tire program, which was directed by the teachers of Swanson Sch ool, was approved with delight by those attending. A total of 147 pupils, each and every one in costume, took part in the presen- tation.
 Thirty-four members of the Junior High Chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Lois Weldon, presented the Christmas program at the Parent-Teacher's Associa- tion meeting Tuesday night. In addition to the presentation of several popular Christmas carols, Michael Kleinbach offered a piano solo of "Jesu Bambino."
 This afternoon all rooms in grade one through six are having Christmas parties from 2:15 to 3;30 pm. A simple lunch is plan ned by the individual rooms, which have been decorated in the holiday theme.
 Christmas vacation begins to- night, December 23, and school re- sumes on January 3, 1855. During the vacation period the school gym at Central School will be closed and not reopen until De- cember 30. During this period the much needed new floor will be laid by Jack Land, who was re- gently awarded the contract to lay henlock floor AS soon as completed, new lines and a shuf- fle board will be painted on the floor and asphalt tile will be laid in the lobby.
 Quoting from the Christmas is- sue of the school paper, Banana Belt Freezes" As you all know, our gym floor was in bad shape. A new floor will be a big inn provement but Palmer students are anxiously awaiting the day when some kind Santa Claus will present us with a new gym.
 Most of the vacation plans of the students include trying out the new PARC skating rink, ski ing, sliding and a week of fun with the new toys, games, and other gifts all are hoping Santa" will leave under their Christmas trees tomorrow night.

things are for our children, we are
sometimes inclined to pat ourselves
on the back and say, 81 have gone
through much and have done much
for my children. They surely don't
know what hard times are. They
will never know how rough I had
it. Life will be easy for them"
Well, maybe that's true, but
maybe it isn't. Certainly those of
us who have young children now
can't say that we have done very
much to make the future of our
children more secure or more easy
and I don't mean the national
debt. l mean we haven't taken care
of our natural resources from which
our children expect to make a
living.
We as nation have ''nined-more.
pumped more" ''burned-more."
"destroyed-more" than any other
people in the same length of time
ever have. None of the natural re-
sources have been singled out for
abuse, but today, let's look at what
we have done to the soil.
In the last 100 years, by our care
less farming, over-grazing, over
cutting of forests, we have COM
pletely destroyed enough soil to
cover an area half as big as Mon
tana. This land is damaged beyond
economic reclamation.
This is part of what we are leaving
to our children. Our children are
going to need the resources we have
destroyed while we were doing all
OF those so-called fine things for
them. We have built roads, cities.
schools, houses, theatres and have
taught them to enjoy them. At the
same time, we neglected to take
care of the resources which will
eventually give them their bread,
Our population is increasing at
the rate of about 21a million wear
we are destroying our land at about
the rate OF a half-million acres a
year. If these trends continue. the
children, for whom we think we
nave done so much, will find them
serves really short of land and badly
IN need of the things that you and
have allowed to be DESTROYED.
In short, in the last several wears
we have been feeding our children
continually while we have been de-
Stroylng their source of bread. OF
course, science may make some
amazing new discovery which will
indefinitely postpone or offset the
dire results that come from resource
ABUSE But this discovery is not in
sight yet.
Inc history of the world shows
that, at least up to now. whenever
people have destroyed their re-
sources, they have suffered for it.

you will find them out at the Boca

Grated jointly by the Key West

Key West Angels, the Motorcycle
Club.
The Racing Assn. is headed by
George TOPPING President; Bob
Turner, Vice President; Frank
TOPPING Sec. and Treasurer.
Sunday afternoon saw a good
turn out of tourists as well as Key
Westers. The race cars consist just
about every color and shape, some
are bob-taled, some are squatty
and others just naturally look sick,
but don't let that fool you, those
motors are hot and so are the
drivers. There were two Miami
drivers down, but they couldn't
garner a win. Probably the dirt
track had them at disadvantage J
however, this half mile track de-
lfinitely gives the drivers a better
chance regardless of what starting
position he might draw.
In the first Elimination Heat,
with seven cars going, Rip Ault,
who has been carrying on quite a
lfeud with Bob Turner, succeeded
in showing Turner the way home.
Turner was second, Paul TOPPING
took third money and Joe Perez
was fourth.
Second Elimination was taken by
one of Key Vests own boys and
a newcomer to the game, Smiley

the oldtimers today that he is a

impressive when he came back to
