The weather man gave those Army air mail flyers the worst break of the year. The human mind, unfortunately, is better pleased to hear scandal than recom- mendation. Any concern that says to “try” before you “buy” its product must certainly have the “goods.” A good many ofus are impatient of weak people until ourselves are overtaken by “weakness. > This is the season when baseball play- erg iret a little publicity by posing as Hole oufs for a few days. ¥ Only 3 per cent of the people of Latvia arg illiterate. That should be a fine place to publish newspapers. Ogden Mills appears not to know that the presidential campaign is over.

WE RESPECTFULLY SUGGEST President Roosevelt has declared that the government intends to continue aiding those cities that have lost industries or manufactories, or where they have been 20) badly impaired recovery has been curbed or retarded. Surely, Key West. will among those cities. Here, all tories, except very small ones called “buckeyes,” have been closed or moved away, and the fishing and the sponging industries are at their lowest ebb in the history of the city. The President did not say in what way those cities will be helped to rid them- selves of the effects of the Depression, but The Citizen feels confident that in no other way can the government restore the pro- gress of Key West and, at the same time, raise the morale of her residents to the) highest pitch possible than by granting a loan for the construction of the proposed Overseas bridges. The official announcement that the; loan has been granted would change the economic conditions in Key West over- night. Those residents who have money, chiefly in small amounts, and are carefully, almost fearfully, spending it for the bare necessities of life, because .they. do not know where another dollar is coming from, would have théir confidence restored, as a result of which they . would buy many things that they have needed for their con- venience for several years but have defer- red buying for what may be termed bread- | and-butter reasons. Further, the construction of the} bridges would not only provide work for every man in Key West who wants to work, and thereby put an end to all classes of government relief, but also would relieve | unemployment in Dade county to the ex- tent of 3,000 or so. Besides, that kind of help is help with lasting qualities; help that is constructive; help that will not only promote the in- terests of Key West and all Florida but of ; the entire country also, because the bridges | would provide the missing link of two major national highways and two major state highways that reach to Cuba’s front door. That help is real help, for which the federal government eventually would ‘be reimbursed, and we respectfully suggest to the President that he give it to us. t ’ be included cigar fac- that . are THE GO-GETTERS Much of the literature addressed to youth is surcharged with advice as to how to become successful in life. And by ‘“‘suc- cessful” is generally meant “prominent,” or “wealthy,” or both. Mere comfort or happiness appears to have little place in the popular idea of success. Particularly in picturing the glories of the business career do our success au- thorities and efficiency experts stress the virtties of aggressiveness, enterprise and other qualities generally comprehended by the word “push.” One ideal held up to the young man is the high-powered salesman, who if he has nothing else to sell must “sell himself” to some eager employer at a correspondence course to develop ‘“‘per- sonality.” ~* “Bat a few thoughtful persons here‘and | there have begun to rebel against this ever- lasting preaching and practice of “push.” They are getting weary of the ballyhoo of | the boosters, and the eternal striving to get | ahead of one’s neighbor. It is a good sign | that a few recent writers have sensed the | futility of it all and have begun to tell us | how ridiculous it is. Legitimate efforts to at ac } petency and comfort are most commend- able, but the blatant go-getter, who sub- ordinates all the finer things of life to mere | moneygrubbing and social climbing is get- | In his own shallow conceit he may imagine that he is a success, but to those who have a real appreciation of values he is a rather dismal failure.
