DARNALL, Former Euitor of The Key West Citizen - - * F Motorists: might well memorize . this “paraphrase from the Pathfinder: “You can beat sorhe of the’trains to all of the cross- = ings, and all of the trains to some of the ™ crossings, but you can’t beat all of the trains to all of the crossings.” fi An unusual accomplishment-is that of P Mrs. Caroline Miller of Baxley, Pa., whose ~ first novel, “Lamb in- His Bosom” was re- vs eently awarded the coveted Pulitzer prize ~ for 1933. _Mrs, Miller is 30 years old, ~ never went to college, and is the mother of three sons, two of them twins. Her hus- — band is meparimtencent of schools at Bax- ” ley. ‘ Mother Katherine, superior general 2 of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, an * ofder whieh 'shéfounded’ after entering a’ ~cgnvent in 1895, and long known as the richest nun in the world, is now 70 years »old. She was Mary Katherine Drexel, of ~ the wealthy Drexel family of Philadelphia, ~ and her income of some $365,000 a year is given away, principally to missions and = schools she has founded for negroes. Truly ~ hers has been a life of sacrifice, which few - persons with an, income of $1,000 a day _ would imitate.

Mead of New York told national labor ‘spokesmen that Florida’s formula for solving its own problems might well be used in curing the economic ills of the other 47 states, Congressman Mead challenged Amer- ica “to contribute a plan which will insure the right of economic security for every man,” and took Florida’s two-year, pro- gram of planned recovery as an example. “Florida has given the other 47 states a great lesson in cooperation, organization, and interdependence,” he told the visiting labor officials. “Tt has solved problems. .demo- cratically with everyone working to- gether. This is the only way we can pro- gress with one section of the United States dependent upon another, and I can see in the solution of problems here the solution of major problems confronting other states and the world at large.” The tangible evidences of Florida’s marked upswing were paraded in Miami for the labor leaders and _ industrialists. who participated in the proceedings of what was known as the Doherty Recovery Institute. The Institute was the major feature of a state-wide celebration com- memorating Florida’s return to prosperity and honoring Colonel Henry L. Doherty of New York for his leadership in bringing the state out of the woods for the first time in eight years, through an organized plan for promotion of the tourist trade. Spokesmen from eight international unions affiliated with the American Fed- eration of Labor who left Washington on this exploratory pilgrimage were told that Florida’s building construction was up an average of 132 per cent in six leading cities of the state, bank clearings had gained an average of 35.4 per cent, real estate values were mounting, and that all other baro- meters of business were soaring accord- ingly. Now the good news is getting around and leaders in other states and cities aren’t merely day-dreaming about golf and fish- ing when,they get to musing about Florida.
