The card to be used in this cen- ists 14 questions about each idual who registers. Each question is fundamental for an understanding of the problem of unemployment. President Roose- velt said in his message to every worker: “It is important to the unemployed and to évery oné in this land that the census be com- plete, honest and accurate.” The confidential nature of the answers to questions on the Un- employment Report Card will be respected by the Administration of the National Unemployment Census. The names of signers will not be published or made in any manner. Postmaster Harris informed The Citizen just before press time that one of these cards have been placed in each house in Key West, and that no returns have been made as yet. The carriers dis- tributed them today, and they will report back to the postoffice at a late hour this afternoon.

Only the soul that knows a mighty grief Can know a mighy rapture. Pain May serve To streteh out spaces in the soul, for joy.” The work of the National Guardsmen and Civilians from Key West is not generally known or appreciated. Their efforts and hard labor under the most trying circumstances, proved a terrible experience for the stoutest heart, but they carried on during the jentire period that their services were needed. When disaster comes, it is a |human trait to seek some one to |blame. And so during that time ‘of stress and sorrow, certain in- ‘dividuals and groups were severe- lly criticised.
