It will be a long time before gJhe people will forget this. Just by way of being hasty, we hint that local citizens who figured out income taxes last week end grumbled over their taxes, haven't seen any taxes yet. Do you think for a moment that the government could spend and waste all. these large enormous sums without the people having to repay them? Through court records, it has become known that a large number of real estate deals have been concluded in the past few weeks, but the local realtors are fearful of advertising these sales lest it become known that there is a rea) estate boom go- ing on in Key West. They haven't forgot- ten the last boom. “A wind which reached near gale proportions as it whipped over snow cover- ed Lancaster county Tuesday, (March 16) closed nearly every road and highway and brought traffic to a virtual standstill.” When a Key West winter resident read this item in his home town paper, he de- cided to linger a little longer in the lap of Spring, and will not leave for his northern home until a few weeks later. evelopment which in the development of., " the city. < gest am. eg It is by no means mere chance - tinents, that various businesses have zoned, or segregated themselves of their own ac- cord and for their own advantage. The dealer in automobiles and the dealer. in furs or in perishable foods, alike find that ers in the same products have gathered. There is no argument quite so con- vincing as an array of facts, and the facts ‘show that these leading merchants whose natural talent for trade has been sharpen- ed in the keenest of competitive condi- tions, have registered their convictions on the question of seitregation, or. trade “dis- tricts, by their investment in locations.so situated. | It is no less true that different types of hymes should be, as much as_ possible, grouped together; and no city is making the most of its advantages which does not recognize this fact. The two or three room cottage, of the picturesque and even beautiful, with home- raised flowers growing in the most casual of containers, and hospitable to all the neighborhood traffic that arises among neighbors with like purposes in life, is a forlorn blemish on the picture when wedged in between two imposing resi- dences. And, nothing would quite so cer- tainly prevent the erection of a stately “residence” as the knowledge that a very unpretentious “home’’ would be its prob- able next-door neighbor. City Council and those forward- looking members of the community, who have at last decided to undertake. an ex- acting and ‘difficult task in considering our ‘zoning problem, will have earned the gratitude of future residents of Key West, whether their part in the work is remem- bered or not. They are directing the thought of the city into the possibility of an orderly and acceptable development that will appeal to the prospective investor as well as to| y every resident who has the welfare of Key | \, West at heart. ‘hee When they have succeeded in estab- lishing a series of districts in our city, each one adapted to its particular interests and a harmonious unity in its pursuits, Key. West will have added to its other ad- vantages an outstanding feature of prac- tical and esthetic value which will mean more in dollars and cents than we can compute—and a value that can not be measured in terms of dollars and cents. “HOLY WEEK The most significant period of Christian year is Holy Week, the week fore Easter, beginning with Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday celebrates triumphal entry into Jerusalem and _ the strewing of palm branches in his path by the multitude. Maundy Thursday commemorates the |* Last Supper and the washing of the dis- ciples’ feet; also Christ’s agony in Geth- semane and his betrayal by Judas, Good Friday represents the: day of the crucifixion and is celebrated in/Cath- j olic and Anglician churches with great solemnity. _ Easter Even is the name given to the entire day of twenty-four hours.between Good Friday and Easter, .a: period for prayer and religious contemplation. Easter Sunday, *the™most=foyous: dayetheary the resurrection, and; this year falls’ n March 28. In the early history “of e church, Easter was observed on various of the Christian calendar, eat pr it as the first Sunday following the full moon occurring on or next after the vernal | equinox, March 21. Easter Sunday may come as early as March 22 or as late as April 25, and its date governs all ecclesiastical days from Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, to Trinity Sunday, eight weeks after Easter, a we find in the great cities of both con-}* | Christ’s | | { } | dates by different bodies of Christians, but} and readings are generally near the Council of Nice in the year 325 fixed! | ae British from the one tisljudiaisl body in this isreg: United States; that the United States is faced with a new civil war. Upon reading this, many Americans will recall Sinclair Lewis’ novel “It Can't Happen Here” and will wonder if, after all, “It” can happen here much as Mr,: Lewis so vividly de- seribed in his bitter novel. It is often said and doubtless with much truth, that the majority of the people in any nation ordinarily are not aware of the major events which id them into a civil uprising. With increasing frequency, however. thoughtful and intelligent people in this country are voicing the thought that forces have been set in motion which will not be stopped until we have passed through a most serious crisis, possibly even a civil war.

On the other | Cl hand, one cannot be accused of undue partisanship if he at least considers the ominous possibilities, Perhaps one of the best approaches to these possibilities is to contemplate what might have been our present sit- uation if, in 1933, the people of this country had been told something like the following: “We are in a severe depression; all classes of people, and practically ev- ery individual, have suffered. The de- Pression came from a multitude of s. Most of which can be traced difectly or indirectly to the World War. No individual or group of in- dividuals was responsible for it. It began abroad. spread to the United States, and has been no respecter of types of government or economic, monetary, or banking systems. Temperatures® i H’ghest 3285! ‘ext T.
