IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN 4 - Water and Sewerage. Bridges to complete Road te Main- land. Free Port, Hotels and Apartments Bathing. Pavilion, Aquarium. Airports—Land and Sea. Consolidation of County and City Governments. 4 Everybody wants the new deal to be a great deal. : . The sea sick persott is never satisfied If the worth of a thing is best known by the want, then surely the Bridges are worth « great deal. es Politicians being inclined to cover up xposiises, will likely decline any offers to Jom nadie sofonten, Counting sheep won’t put you to sleep during these times if you happen to be rais- ing some for market. Only too often the ‘prizes’ in bathing beauty contests are won by fat old gentle- men with: heavy bankrolis. With the NRA gradually returning men to work, hotel guests can once more hope to find & seat in the lobby. Somehow or another we just . can’t warm up to those fellows sporting a Hit- ler hirsute; they simply do not elick with us, Looking back om the depression we " hing in favor of it. It put a terrible “servant |problem’ Iavén'tlbe long now before we'll hare another of those big charity prize-fights in which the fighters walk off with the cream. Without doubt speedy cars with sirens are responsible for many accidents parti- cularly when the driver has one arm around the siren. An Associated Press dispatch says that Machado, in Montreal, had gone out for a waik. That’s pleasanter than be- ing taken for a “ride.” With the incoming state administra- tion we were told we would have tax relief ~-tax in relief must have been meant—al- most two bulging mills additional. Jonah, The Citizen porter who re- cently paid his first visit to Miami and is stil talking about the adventure, does not think so much of this new “entanglement” tax. The San Antonio Evening News says that a backward community is ene that hasn't asked for a government loan. Ac- cording to the ebservatiens of this paper, Key West then is not such a backward community after all. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN WORLD RECOVERING The United States isn’t the only coun- try that is experiencing the trend toward recovery. During the second quarter of 1933 there was a marked upturn in com- modity prices in many parts of the world, aceording to a survey made by the Couneil on Foreign Relations. Most importnat ad- vances have been made in this country, in France—the sole major nation left on the gold standard—and in Great Britain, whose managed currency policy has been the controlling factor in the rise. Other coun- tries to show advancement include Austra- lia, Canada, Austria, Belgium, Germany | and Switzerland. In the first half of 1933, British prices were steadier than those in | either this country or Franee, This marks a dtastic change from conditions in 1931 and 1932, when British price fluctuations were often extremely violent. This price question is keeping many a citizen awake nights. His problem *is: When will income inerease in proportion to rises in the price level? The answer to that is still a question mark. Bulk of Amer- ican wage-earners, particularly those in the white-collar ¢lass, will have to wait some time yet before Wusiness conditions warrant any substantial advances in their earnings. , whe present recovery drive, as is natural, has little to do with those who have incomes in the high or middle brackets. It is concentrated on helping those who are in the lower-brackets or have no income at all. Major effort is given to manufacturing new jobs and that cannot long be done, until there is stabili- zation of commodity costs on a higher level. Cost of living has advanced materially in the past few months; most marked advanc- ers are still in the future. MAKE IMPROVEMENTS NOW Definite benefits to the public will re- sult from the government’s program to loan communities money on self-liquidating un- dertakings. Bridges are béing built, sewage dis- posal plants that will save contamination of rivers, are to be constructed, and many towns and cities are reeeiving getter ‘fire protection through the addition of badly needed fire apparatus, Such expenditures are really the high- est type of self-liquidating enterprises benefiting the greatest number of people. Take adequate fire protection, for ex- ample, furnished by a well organized fire department equipped with standard ap- paratus. It is priceless when your place | is on fire, and if your place never burns, it Saves you money every day on taxes, in- suranee, etc. From the standpoint of fire protection, it is important that towns and eities rea- lize the long period over which money can be borrowed for public improvements, the Tow rate of interest charged and the 30 per- cent discount which the government gives on the repayment of the total amount. For example, a $100,000 fire department im- provement can be made for $70,000, apply- ing this principle in a general sense. From the standpoint of giving employ- ment or getting the greatest value for dol- lars spent, there never was a better’ time for’any community to make needed,’ self- liquidating improvements. HUMBLE ORIGINS ‘ NE RR, ‘ Soest Ris: ace 3 It isa strange human trait that in later life a man often boasts of the vety things of which he was somewhat ashamed in hia youth. Successful men point with pride to their humble origins, to their early struggles and the menial nature of their first employment. And it is a just cause for pride to have overcome such obstacles through one’s own energy and deterimation. There is no deubt that the man who has had to fight his way from the bottom is generally bet- ter off, hard as it may have seemed to him while undergoing the experience. It is equally true that many men fail because of a false pride which causes them to shrink from humble tasks which might lead to ultimate success. Henry Ford was s machinist’s helper, Thomas A. Edison was a newsboy, John D. Rockefeller was a clerk, and neither had any early education to speak of. They and thousands of others succeeded because they were not ashamed to teil with their hands until something bet- ter presented itself. Not every boy can become a Ford, an Edison or a Rockefeller, but every one who is not afraid or ashamed to work can make an honorable and useful place for himself, and he doesn't have to begin in a “white- collar” job, either. secoococcccececocoCCooCe] _ Daily Cross- | PLANS COURSE FOR | Oc ccocccvsecccesoccaves word Puzzle 000000006000 0SSOSOCOSOE8EHESEOOOESOOSOSOMIOOSOCOS ACROSS 1, Flow back 4 Shun x AAEOD ORD A ir * TAICIOINIE BAR| | OME |G 0] air fa jo] >|= Ro |m/z| ROWE) Deeg) [Ojralz| KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY; Happenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen A seven passenger Hudson car driven by a negro known as ‘“Ras- tus” was completely destroyed byy fire at an early hour this morn+ ing under mysterious cireum- stances.

The grounds of the church are planted with flowers and trees; and are kept in first elass condi-) tion. 7 Next to the ground is the play- ground, lent for this purpose on which the boys play baseball. On is, trees have been planted for church, on a small plot donated for this pur- pose a veritable transformation has been affected. What was a plot covered with weeds, and used as a dumping gtound, a park has been arrang- ed. Weeds have disappeared. Trees and plants have taken their place. Tables and seats for women and children have been made, very rudely, to be sure, but quite strong and solid for out- door use. : Here the women and children can gather and enjoy the climate, unexcelled, of Key West. On Sunday afternoon at 4:30 p. m., the park will be opened to the eolored public. Friends of| | beaatifieation for all, are invit- ed to attend. For three months the members ‘of this congregation, with friends, have been preparing a Cantata, in costume which will be given Wednesday evening in the San €arlos Hall. Friends who have attended the vehearsals state that the singing enjoyed by the lovers of music. So by the fine “arts”, Music, Flowers, Plants and a Club for lit- erature, the Presbyterian church seeks to eo-operate’ with all who seek the best things for those who need them the worst. A.
