A TRIBUTE no THE LATE MR. |. 2. ARTMAN. s..

Editor, The Citizen
Tribute is paid to the loving memory and high
esteem in which Mr.. L. p Artman, Sr, will always be
held by the many residents of our community.
The words ITO know him was to love him" may not
frequently be expressed about who by their pro-
fesson or trade constantly demanding public.
However, find myself saying this about the late Mr..
Artman. There occasion that called at
the Key West Citizen for fraterna philanthropc
purpose that the Editor Mr. L. p Artman did not grant
the approval sought It inspiration to talk with
him because like the late Will Rogers ones contact with
Mr. Artman enriched that persons life because Of the
various lessons of life which he would recount for you
This tribute, know, is shared with me by many.
Two wonderful examples of the esteem in which Mr..
Artman was endeared by his public were brought to
light when at his funeral not one but two outstanding
women leaders came to after Mr.. Artmans funeral
and both said Almost to the letter but at different
times) 81 have been very i'll with virus but simply had
to get out of bed to attend Mr. Armans funeral Mr..
Artman was always cooperative when visited The Key
West Citizen in search of publicity for organization,
and had to pay the tribute to him which he richly
deserved and he earned on EARTH"
May these thoughts which we share help tighten the
anguish of his family the loss Of who has gone
before us ito prepare home for u.s..
In sympathy,

STEVENSON ON THE FREE PRESS

Adlai = Stevenson. speaking recently in New York,
eled attention to the fact that the freedom of the in
divdual in this country the key to progress In these
troubled times Expressing his belief that the United
States would continue to lead the way to better life for
it, people, the defeated Democratic candidate Of 1852
said:
but reason will not triumph unless the mind is free
The struggle Of times il struggle to in
tegriy and creavity Of the free mind It has many
mics The most menacng Of these foes have been the
annihastic political system, like facism nazism and
communsm-the secular fanaticsms Of our time"
The theme expressed by Stevenson is one which
Americans must hold dear to their hearts if intellectual
achievements to bring continuing progress in the
various fields Our citizens must be able to speak free
W read freely organize freely long this activity
does not violate the Constitution
Throughout the history of man. the rate Of progress
achieved BY various races is in direct proportion to the
amount Of individual liberty and freedom existing among
them AS long the average American free to read
what he peases listen to whom he peases travel freely
speak his mind and enjoy to all of enter
tainment, and propaganda he desires, communism
will make no significant gain in the United States.

Through The Mountains
We left Malaga right after lunch
and travelled to Granada along
many mountains. As matter of
fact, at one of the places the al
titude Is $500 feet where we get a
magnificent view looking towards
the Mediterranean. We also pass
ed the village of Santa Fe through
a handsome gateway where We
found ourselves in what used to be
the royal encampment of Ferdi-
|nand and Isabel during the seige
Iof Granada. Here Christopher Col
|umbus came to tell the King and
Queen of his plans for discovering
a shorter route to the Indies which
led to the discovery of America.
We arrived at Granada late that
afternoon. On Monday morning we
started on a tour of the famous
Alhambra. The portico is a huge
Arabian archway with handcarv-
ing above it symbolizing the doc
trine of Mahomet. Having crossed
the barbican Ca low stone wall)
we went along a narrow lane to
an esplanade where stands the
Place of Charles v.
Despite It's sumptuousness and
architectural merit, this palace Is
rather an ariachronism In these
surroundings. We went through a
severely simple gateway entering
the Moorish Palace by the way OF
the Patio de la Alberca. This Pa
| ito has a marbled tile floor and in
the center a pool hedged with ros.
les. Entering through the front wing
one reaches the famous Court oi
the Lions. The fountain in the GEN.
ter shows that non-Moorish artists
helped in its construction, since
the Arabs never used statuary.

The architecture is elegant and
distinguished and the peristicles
and arcades Of stone filligree sup
ported by slender white marble

ter of fact, the temperature was
probably 100.
We arrived at approximately
1880 at Manzanares at a tourist
motel operated by the tourist COM
mission and had lunch here. From
there we travelled to Cordoba
where we arrived in the afternoon
after passing through many old
towns which were built several
centuries back.
Cordoba is favorite stopping
place for foreigners visiting Spain.
It has been very important in Span
ish history and reached its great
est renown during the Arab dom.
ination, when it was a Caliphate
during the most splendid period Of
that rule. In the Jewish quarter
which has the charm of the past
in its streets and patios, we saw
a well preserved Arab gateway
which existed in the walls which
surrounded the City giving access
to this quarter. We also visited
the synagogue, the remains of ar
ancient Hebrew Church of grea,
historical interest.
Mosque OF Cordoba
Cordoba is. better known on ac,
count of Its ancient Mosque. now
a Cathedral, which was built in the
year 7S5. When the city was con.
quered by King Ferdinand in 1896
he consecrated the Mosque as the
Cathedral and from then on, it was
used for Catholic worship. Thus
the labor of several centuries has
made this Cathedral an extraordi.

bian, Greco-Roman, Ogival and
Renaissance styles co-exist. The
Arabian portion is the most re.
markable.

treasures a golden chalice by Ben
venuto Cellini and many silver
crosses and treasures.
From the Mosque, we went tC
see Roman bridge over the Qua,
dalquevir River. In different parts
of the city, we saw museums and
many old buildings. Cordoba had
many fascinating corners which
are very interesting to see and mar
row streets which are very pic,

Seville, arriving there late in The
afternoon.
In Seville, we went to the Ca

saw the royal chapel and the Ca

Many of the buildings are very
