Dick
Says

Key West hasn't been getting
much good publicity lately. Seems
like news reporters would try %
play up some Of the better aspects
of our town. What with the NAL
squabble, controversy about the
police department, etc., tourists
and visitors must think that Key
West is the most undesirable place
in the world to live.
OF course, the airline situatloa
is really serious and ! can under.
stand why the hotel owners are
worried. However, so much bad
publicity concerning the police
force doesn't seem necessary.
Have you been reading about
how the United States almost went
into deal to sell butter to Russia
at below cost price? Boyi Some.
times Il think we send our most
stupid men to Washington to handle
our affairs. Millions Of Americans
haven't tasted butter since before
the war but our Agriculture Dept.
manages to store up so much that
it wants to send 1t to our worst
enemy. I would rather see the
stuff dumped overheard.
Maybe the above opinion doesn't
Sound charitable but Charity isn't

are concerned. Seems like they

AIRLINEs AGREEMENT ASKED

Editor, The Citizen
After reading the National Air Lines report of the
number of passengers they carried from January 1st to
January 18th in your paper of January goth, at
loss to understand why National Air Lines would have
publish this report during this period they only
had flight from Key West daily and in most cases,
the schedule of this flight did connect with schedules
leaving Miami Had National not curtaed their flights
from Key West, they would have carried
several hundred more passengers.
1t so happened that on January 1st, Mrs. Heberg
and my two had reservations the early flight
from here to Miami for connections leaving Miami at
10 100 A. NJ. Due to the cancellation of the flight
necessary for to send my wife and by car in
order to make this connection We have had numerous
guests detained in Miami for the they could
not get air transportation to Key West.
No doubt all hotels motes and other businesses in
Key West tremendously affected by this situation
of not having proper and adequate transportation that
city like deserves.
1t is most unfortunate that this situation should arise
and particularly at this season of the year and it is
sincere hope that for the benefit of all concerned,
our County Commissioners and the Air Lines will come
to at least temporary agreement which will allev
late this emergency

Nov, now, Jane. You mustn't
