If the lessons are heeded and future plans made accordingly, then the country will profit; if they aren't, then the nation will just have to continue mud- dling along and let nature ‘take its course. November 16-20. An awful lot of water THE KEY WEST CITIZ=y For instance, the census was made , has gone over the dam since then. Thous- - ands were carried on payrolls-at a loss right through Christmas just because em- ployers didn’t want to ruin their holiday season. Even the 7,881,914 enumerated by the census were said te represent only 72 ° | per cent of those jobless. So we adda | “guesstimate”’ to the cold figures and come up with 10,870,000 unemployed. Tt should | be perfectly clear that Congress is pretty | much legislating in the dark despite the census. It ought to have: some machinery to | | give it accurate and up-to-date figures re- | gularly, especially when things are not on an even keel. One of the biggest lessons, however, | | was in the figures showing that out of the | 7,822,914 who were jobless; only 2:601,877 HUH, MEGBE YOu CALL THAT MAKING TIME! GUT WHEN I TRAVELED THOSE TWO y HUNDRED AND FIF THAT'S A RECORD were doing WPA, NYA,-COC-or- other fed- | | eral emergency pouring of literally billions of dollars by ; | of job opportunities in private employment. | In short, you can’t put even the pres- | ent jobless on federal or state payrolls. The | answer is to stimulate and build up the-con- fidence of private enterprise so that it may supply the necessary jobs. . WILL YOUR TOWN BE NEXT? Great oaks from litle acrons grow— | with a| and a conflagration may begin spatk. Since 1900 there have been one hundred ¢onflagrations in the United States | and Canada. Will your city be next in line |} for complete destruction? | _ It may be if adequate precautions are | not taken. But fortunately a conflagration, like less serious fires, can be prevented. A | certain water supply, an efficient fire de- | partment; a reliable fire alarm system, an Pup*to-date building code—these are fire’s | most ‘potent enemies. In very small towns and rural areas, similar safeguards may be created through district fire depart- ‘ments strategically located where they may | serve a Wide surrounding territery, and by telephonie alarm communication. According to tradition, the great Chi- cago fire started when Mrs. O’Leary’s cow | kicked over a lantern. It is a.known fact | that the Berkeley fire started in a vacant lot. Most great fires began from similar apparently unimportant events. Adequate protection can prevent them from spread- | ing. / If the average holds true, there will | be two or three conflagrations in the Unit- : ed States and Canada this year.

Accommodations are offered free of charge.

States Senators and two hundred Repre- sentatievs recently signed a message con- | gratulating the Irish government upon its new constitution. Aside from the fact that most Ameri- can citizens are hopeful that the British and the Irish will be able to settle their differences in friendly fashion we fail to see just exactly what business these offi- cials have in sending such a message to | President Eamon de Valera. i The American people are very quick to insist that the British mind their own business, but as this incident shows quite willing to take a hand in other people’s af- } fairs. We do not criticse anybody for wish- ing the Irish republic the best of fortune | but officials in this country.should leave such affairs in the hands of the Depart- ment of State.
