C. station Thursday night. In brief; Mr. Malone said that one of the thoughts that came to him whileglistening to the discus- sions during the meeting was the idea which seemed to permeate the whole meeting of. “us” and “ours” —‘our railroad” and he felt glad to say that that seemed to ‘be the thought that was running through the minds of the employes of the F.

The ex- Healthy Babies Make Healthy Nation pectation for a baby born in}. 1800 was that it would live to be 35 years of age. The length of life has increased about two-thirds. This has been made possible by conquering one disease after an- other, We know enough now to stamp out malaria, hookworm, so- cial diseases, and tuberculosis if we spend the money and _ organize properly to do it. On the other hand, we do not know enough to stamp out the de- generative diseases of the kidneys, of the circulatory system, and can- cer, many of which set in late in middle life. For a person who has reached 45 or 50 years of age the expectancy for a longer life is about the same as it was several generations ago. So many diseases, however, have yielded to research since the time of Pasteur that hope cannot be denied. Increasing Gopd Health A Task There is not only the problem of reducing disease and of postponing j death, but there is the task of in- creasing the abundance of good health. There is a difference be- tween the absence of ill health and the presence of buoyant health. Good feeding in infancy and the avoidance of illness in childhood If all babies were as healthy as this one, one of the nation’s biggest problems would be partly sclved.

It was agreed to divide approximately $900 cash on hand between the different em- ployes' which figures about $14 for each man. This was ordered paid today to relieve the existing situation. The Singleton Machine Works was awarded a contract for re- pairs to the fire apparatus at a. cost of $29.35. This was the low- est of three bids received for the work.

He first spoke in general terms as applied to all counties in the state that receive revenue in taxes from the railroads and then said “In-getting down to our local sit- uation, however, I believe that the assessment for the F. E. C., in this county, has been made something like $1,000,000 for the next year, and if that is the case it should return to the schools approximate- ly $21,000 in school taxes; that is, if and when it is paid. Of that prospective ~ $21,000, $15,000 should go for direct operating ex- penses and $6,000 should go for debt service. On the basis of present opera- tions, Mr. O’Bryant showed that this money from the F. E, C. taxes. will be the means of educating about 600 children in Key West.
