ATTAINING GOALS
Four times recently The
Citizen has published stories
about the construction of
piers and yacht basins at
various places in the lower
and upper chain of the Flor
ida Keys.
What we need in Key
West for the accommoda
tion of yachtsmen, and have
thu* far -been unable to get
beyond the talking stage in
our efforts, residents else
where in the cotanty have
taken actio.n to make the
piers and basins a reality.
At one time it appeared
that a part of the Garrison
Bight would be developed
for the accommodation of
(jachtsmen, but the proposal
made to the county com
missioners and to the city
couneilmen “looked so
good” as a money producer,
immediately opposition was
j organized against the man
I who had made the proposal.
Such declamations that
i the Garrison Bight was too
precious a heritage to the
people of Key West lor any
! part of it to be leased were
, heard, there and every
-1 where in the city, as a re
sult of which the proposed
developer was driven from
! the picture. - .
The city w*as to obtain
acreage along the shore of
the bight to develop it for
the use of yachtsmen, but
eradually that activity died
out and nothing further has
been said about it for a good
many months.
And so it goes in this com
munity: just let it appear
that anybody is going to
earn money by making some
public improvement, and
you may be sure that ob
jectors will crop up in all
part* of the city to kill the
proposal. ;
And what is the result in
this particular case? We
bickered until we killed the
project, whereas, in other
parts of the county, resi
, dents worked together to
benefit their community]and
attain their g-oals.
Harmless Statistics: Kven
a philosopher rarely arfprer
I dates a joke at his expanse.
Labor is always entitled
to just wages and a fair re
ward: this doesn’t mean
that it should appropriate
the property of stock Hol
d err. . $
WAR RISK INSURANCE
Some newspapers are ask
ing what became of the
quarter of a billion dollars
that Americans paid out in
! war damage insurance,
pointing out that claims in
volved only about a million
i dollar*.
The insurance companies
I which took ten per cent of
the risk, got ten per cent of
the profits, hut some $240,-
i 000,000 is still held by the
RFC a* a clear profit.
We see no reason what
ever for the government to
return this money to the
property owners who took
out the insurance. The war
risk plicy was designed to
protect property all over the
United States from enemy
action and, in the event air
raids had occurred on a
large scale, the premiums
charged would have been
cheap protection against fi
nancial disaster to many in
dividuals.
The point is made that
many owners of mortgaged
property in inland cities ob
jected to paying for the in
surance. seeing no possibil
ity of injury, hut that when
the mortgage holder added
the premium to the pay
ment due, they let the mat
ter ride rather than take it
into the court.
Even it this he true in
some instances, there can be
little argument about the
wisdom of having war-risk
insurance available to citi
zens whose property could
have been destroyed by en-;
i-my action. If the nation, in |
assuming the burden of re
imbursing all citizens,
adopts a policy making this
insurance nationwide, there
is little fundamental objec
tion. The war was nation
wide and the burden of the
war should be spread over
he entire country. |

(Observed This Week)
POINT 4
The fourth objective is to
“TEACH KINDNESS AND CON- 1
SIDERATION BY CHILDREN .
AND ADULTS TOWARD DOGS
AND OTHER ANIMALS”.
This object is based on the be- 1
■ lief that every child should grow
up with a dog. Dogs are living
! lessons in kindness. The child
that owns a dog soon learns that
his pet depends upon him for
j feeding and care. The child real-
I izes that he must do something
for a living thing other than him- j
self.
