H Consolidation of County and City i Governments, i. Honesty in little things fi is by no means a little thing. Advertising is an.aid to merchandis- ing everywhere, even in Key West. It takes a ‘a high- priced radio comedian to make the old jokes sound funny again. A lot of older Democrats are giving the Young Democrats some un-Democratic advice. The successful business man is the one who can take it, and has what it takes to take it. There are some stenographers who cannot spell, though they can cast a spell ver their bosses. Beware of these spell- ers. The prince of Wales, best known among the world’s unemployed, finally got a job, and it is the most secure in his line. Besides his many other virtues late King George V did not. like futuristic paintings and detested jazz, and crooners were definitely personae non gratae. { While relating narratives most folks -Bay “well, to make a long story short.” Wonder if the story-tellers realize what a -relief it is to hear that, and the shorter the better. The Citizen agrees h The Sunday Star that Key West is coming back, but the main line has been cut off so we must detour and that take a little longer. We —~must continue te have pxtience though it has been sorely tried, but patience com- passes anything. One of George V’s chief indoor hob- bies for which he became noted was stamp collecting. From his early sailor days on the “Bacchante” he was keenly interested in philately and experts deemed his col- lection the finest in existence. He had a special time set aside each week in which ‘to inspect it. Now that the veterans will get their ‘pensions there will develop a spending spree, good for business, but not so good for the veterans after a while. The Citi- “zen advises them to put a little aside for the proverbial rainy day, (which stalks Key West in stark reality) and not spend, all their share of the $2,000,000,000 bonus, amounting to $203,000. If.local merchants do not advertise in the one medium in Key West, they should not complain if the people of this city go = to other cities for their purchases. Outside papers circulating here are chockful of ad- vertisements, local people read them and follow the suggestions. If you do not keep your trade, your trade will not keep you, and the best way to keep your trade is to Be wise and advertise. THE KEY SITUATION An intolerable condition has for some time existed in the distribution of Monroe County’s work on the keys. : District number 4 (which is Dade County) has been supplying much of the labor in District number 5 (which is Mon- voe County) and a feeling of resentment has been piling up. That this condition has been possible, seems to have been due largely to the lack THE KEY WEST CITIZEN of an energetic and intelligent champion- |, ship of Key West’s workers on the part of an administration concentrating on bridle paths and unable to get in touch with the ‘ body of workers and their problems. It is an encouraging item in the in- cidents of change that accompany the re- cent shift in management in this district, that the situation is recognized and active steps are being taken to bring about a more satisfactory adjustment. Living conditions provided for labor on the upper key work are not especially attractive and additional efforts are being put forth to provide occupation at home for the bulk of the labor which has its resi- dence here in Key West. It is believed that almost all of our local labor can be thus provided for, and that the surplus, if any, shall have em- ployment in the district and no great re- gret will be felt if this arrangement leaves a good many vacancies on the upper keys to be filled by,men from District num- ber 4. That this arrangement will be wel- comed, not only by Key Westers, to whom there is no place like home, but al- so by our merchants who will get many a dollar that would not otherwise be spent with them, is evident. The encouraging phase of the situa- tion is the evident disposition of Adminis- trator Orr to go to bat for “his men”, and to take a personal interest in seeing that they are not imposed upon. Our rightful claim to first call for furnishing labor within our own district will hereafter demand and receive con- sideration, and labor from other districts will be welcome to the jobs we don’t need. And in the meantime, Key West will take comfort in the determination of. Ad- ministrator Orr to find work at home for as mary men as he can; and work that will result in lasting benefits to the city. HOW ABOUT YOUR HEALTH? Just as a great business takes an in- ventory to ascertain its condition every in- dividual at least once a year should seek to ; find out the true status of his or her phy- sical condition. We hear much talk about regular ex- aminations to discover the existence of dread diseases in order that proper treat- ment may safeguard the body and restore it to health. _Certainly, this is sound ad- vice for all readers of The Citizen to fol- Ww. »s-If you haven't had a physical checkup lately go to your family doctor and per- suade him, to look you over. See if your heart and other vital organs have been im- paired. If there is anything wrong, follow the advice that you get and see if you can’t repair the damage that has already been done. Parents of Key West might well start the habit in their children. Take them to the doctor and have them carefully ex- amined. Not only should they be tested for bodily ills but eyes, noses, throats and teeth should receive critical examination. Tests for sound hearing often reveal un- uspected defects. OLD PEOPLE CAN LEARN While the peak of the capacity to learn is reached between the years fifteen and twenty, Dr. E. H. Hilgard, Stanford University psychologist, asserts age has. little to do with one’s capacity to learn. He points out that the decline after reaching twenty years of age is insignificant until a person is in the fifties and that, therefore, the accumulation of wisdom offsets les- sened speed in learning. The psychologist’s conclusion em- | phasizes the importance of adult schools throughout the country and_ should - en- courage those of mature years, who wish \ to improve their education. The Citizen | would like to see it possible for all adults | of Key West to have adequate training. Our schools should be expanded so as to include in their horizons the needs of | adults, eer KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Mleppenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The en Lowest Highest last night last 24 hours 32 54 28 48 20 28 26 30 40 48 30 44 32 54 6 52 38 68 48 74 38 72 2 Station Abilene ...
