IT TAKES AN OUTSIDER TO SEE THE
FULL VALUE OF THE FLORIDA KEYS

What treasure do the people Of Monroe County have
in the Florida Keys? In asking that question The Citizen
does not have in mind the possibility Of finding oil in the
Keys Several times, while wells being sunk ir an
effort to find oil after made the rounds Of
Key West that oil had been discovered on this or that
Key Particular stress the report that
pany had brought up sand that indicated the Of
OIL and then proceeded to cap the well and abandon oper
ations.
What The Citizen has in mind about the Florida
Keys is their intrinsic value What true of other peo-
ple regards their surroundings is true of us also ~
unable to appreciate in full measure the advan-
tages that are inherent in the Keys.
But outsiders know the full worth Of the Florida
Keys. Chicagoan called at The Citizen office few
days ago and said that were he younger man he would
invest all his savings purchasing property the Keys
with abiding faith in their development on large
scale.
He his for entertaining that view First
of ALL he sad that 80 per cent Of the people, who leave
their homes in the winter for vacation are concerned
chiefly in finding place with comparatively warm
climate The Florida Keys he added rank higher in that
respect than any other part of the United States He
pointed out also that Key West is the only frosree city
In the country.
Then he talked about the boating and fishing in the
waters Of the Keys He said we have them at our back
door, 80 to speak He said that fishermen in some parts
Of the country travel miles get to places where they
may catch fish, But there is no "may" in the fishing
hereabouts You 60 out and feel assured you will come
back with fish.
He continued to talk and all his talk was in an en-
thusastic vein.
Development Is what the Florida Keys need more
than anything ese And they are being developed now as
they have not been developed before In the next decade
The Citizen believes that development will increase and if
that turns out to be from Key Largo down to Stock
Island will be dotted with many villages and several small
sized cities.

The pastor Of the First Metho-

announced that on Sunday morn
ing he viii preach on the topic:
"You Are A Sower."
Special emphasis will be given
to the importance Of sowing the
Word of God or the Bible teachings
which are available to all people
in this country but which are not
really used and believed in 80 well
as they need to be.
Christians to do their work must

CITRUS FRUITS
GOOD FOR TEETH

Eating the wrong foods affects
the health of the tissues of the
mouth. Lack Of enough vitamin c
in the daily diet can cause the
gums to become sore and swollen
and to bleed easily.
If one fails to eat vitamin c foods
too long, the bone surrounding the
teeth may be destroyed, causing
loss of the teeth. Everyone should
eat enough vitamin C in Florida
because we have an abundance of
citrus fruits, tomatoes and Gag
bage, all of which are very rich
in this vitamin.
You also should eat enough lean
meat, green leafy vegetables,
whole grain, or enriched breads,
cereals and milk. These are need
ed for good teeth and gums.

QUESTIONS ROAD WORK

Editor, The Citizen:
Why was it necessary to leave the approaches to
the bridge Roosevelt Boulevard in such deplor
able condition?
It that after spending close to six months in
constructing the bridge it would have been financially
and physically possible to insure that the approaches adj
jacent to this bridge were in condition comparable
to that of the span.
Residents Of Sigsbee Park not to mention tourists
which will normally enter your city over this bridge
would certainly welcome the correction Of this condi-
ton.

from the day of sacrifices. grew
TO be day of prayer - Special
Prayers.
From early morning until dusk,
the people of the Jewish faith
spend YOM KIPPUR in prayer.
In the orthodox services, men
wear their white shrouds as a
reminder of the shortness and un-
certainty of life, of death and
judgment. On this day of Judg-
ment, when the Jew prays for
forgiveness of sin during the past
year, he also remembers that he
must first forgive his neighbors
for any offense that they have
committed against him as well as
ask for forgiveness for any fault
of his own. On this solemn day he
resolves to do better in the COM
ing year. Although a solemn day
"YOM KIPPUR" is not a day of
sorrow or penance. During the
time of the Temple, the Jewish
people had a lovely custom -
then known as "The Dance of the
VINEYARDS" AS they danced,
they sang happy songs, and often
a young man watching them
would choose bride from among
them.
To-day. there are no happy rites
or merrYmaking. However. "YOM
KIPPUR" with its assurance of
forgiveness and a closer unity
with God. brings happiness I'M
equalled by any other Jewish
Holy Day. AT this time of confus-
