Consolidation of County and City Governments, Mind your own business ded you will _ have a good one, The special] session of Congress will no doubt cause the taxpayer to breathe a lit- tle harder. Many suffer an attack of “sleeping sickness” just about the time the alarm clock goes off. It is easy to find fault with other peo- ple, but more intelligent to search for faults of your own. Every writer is a plagiarist, because nearly everything worth saying has been said many times already. People with one foot in the grave should soften up a bit and dissipate some . of the hatred in their hearts. When the Duke of Windsor and his twice-divorced wife decided to postpone their American visit indefinitely, it was the -consummation of a wish expressed by many. Representative Green is reviving what was thought a dead issue—the Florida Canal and it promises to flare up in the special session commencing next Monday. Green wants a canard converted into a canal. Such a day has passed from the face -of the earth as has been dreamed of =through the ages. Men walked in peace “that day. Through all its golden space ~ handshake followed handshake. For every- ~one there was a welcome eye. For every- one a friendly wave. Such a day has passed. It is now the post-election time. Criminal trial jurisdiction which was taken from justices of the Peace in Mon- ~roe County and transferred to the county judge by an act of the 1937 legislature has been upheld by the Supreme Court. This act also affects other Florida counties hav- ingrawpopalation of less than 50,000, and is gone which has met with general approval i here concerned. Both the A. F. of L. and the C. I. O. have been campaigning for collective bar- gaining as is well known, and their big sales point being that if committees are se- lected to bargain they always get some- where. So far, however, their commit- engaged in collective bargaining on their own account for some time, are hope- lessly locked in an embrace not so fond, and are falling back on the old stall of “recessing.” tees, RED CROSS ROLL CALL Again the American Red Cross is in the midst of its annual roll call, which is made each year between Armistice Day and Thanksgiving. It deserves the sapport of everyone who can possibly contribute. Communities which have happily es- caped disaster can hardly appreciate the magnificent work of this foremost relief | organization. A great fire, flood, storm, | epidemic or other cause of widespread di tress immediately brings the Red Cross in- to effective action. When the need for aid arises the Red Cross responds unfailingly, promptly, effi- ciently. There are no delays, no hesitancy. jue lost motion. With clock-like precision the trained personnel moves to its hu- manitarian task and sticks to it until it is finished. While it was originally designed for the relief of suffering in time of war, the} Red Cross has in late years become the, greatest agency for emergency relief in’ time of peace as well. It costs only a dollar to join the organ-|| ization and thus become identified with its noble work. To do this is at once a duty,| privilege and an honor.

DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Jimmie Thompson, who recently took office as councilman in Greenville, S. C., is a reporter on the Piedmont of that city, does a daily sports broadcast, is publicity director of Furman University, and serves as treasurer of a writers’ association. A fellow writer adds that after hours Jimmie plays the meanest game of poker in the state. Augustin Yarnell was rejected for enlistment by a Navy recruiting station in El Paso, Texas, because he had a nude female figure tatooed on his chest. Next day he applied again, having had a skirt tattooed on the figure, and was accepted. A judge in Santa Barbara, Calif., fined Howard Yaeger, state college halfback, $10 for speeding, but agreed-to cancel the fine if Yaeger would deliver two touch- downs in his team’s next game. The half- back did his stuff, crossing the opposition’s soal line in the first quarter and again in the second, Gun-toting is a rather bad habit, Charles Westlake of Youngstown, O., came to realize in a peculiar manner while watching a movie 4 few nights ago.
