These authorities state the ordinance would require that all pasteurized milk sold locally be pasteurized locally. In other words, it would be against the city law to import ‘pasteurized milk from the main- land. Sponsors of the measure insist this would be a wise step because it would pro- _ vide Key West milk consumers with Key | the fact there is only one pasteurization | plant in Key West and argue the passage sideration of financial consequences, Are you an exception? After being at it for more than 2,000 years, Henry Ford expresses the conviction that we are nearing ‘civilization. While there is life there is hope. Key West is going to have company on July 2, 8 and 4, i. e. lots of company; so it behooves us to tidy up a bit to leave the usual good impression on the visitors, and then they will want to come again. Wenner-Gren, the wealthiest indus- trialist of Sweden, who 30 years ago was a laborer in the United States at 15 cents the hour, has returned for a visit. He sees no econonhic justification for the American de- pression, and places the blame on_ high West supervision over pasteurization and would protect local milk dealers against the loss of their bottles. It was further argued that ‘the act would provide more work for local people. However, the city and state health authorities very rightfully call attention to ' DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Years ‘Ago Today As Taken From The Files of The Citizen County Commissioner Kirch- heiner will be allowed to qualify and enter the coming primary, This is the general opinion today, following the return this morning of T. Reginald Pritchard from Miami, and J. Vining Harris, at- torney, attorney for the Demo- cratic Committee. Pritchard, Judge Harris nor oth- er members of the committee, will commit ‘themselves as to what this body will do, but from what they do say it is practically certain no further effort will be made to keep Mr. Kirchheiner out of the primary. Mr. Pritch- ard was served at 1 o'clock this afternoon with a mandatory court Neither Mr., | of that plant a monopoly on ‘that phase of order to accept Mr. Kirchheiner’s entrance fee and .accept a receipt therefor. “I do not know what the pleasure of the committee will be in the matter”, said Mr. Pritch- ard, “but personally I am inclin- ed to feel we have done all in our power to carry out the intent of the law. We have been over- ruled by an authority higher than ours and it seems that about the only honorable course left for us is to obey the law”. Judge Har- ris, without = ema to speak for yexpre chi opt ‘0 fod is Wedel Kye e court date ‘6 aceept the Acchnciner entrance fee will be followed shorfly by second ten; der of the $30 required, » of the milk ordinance would give the owner the milk business. Naturally the four or five other milk dealers serving the people of Key West are likewise opposed to the ordinance, and very rightfully so. The bulk of the milk sold in Key West is pasteurized because that is what the ma- jority of the consumers demand. If the or- dinance is finally adopted it would make it impossible for the milk dealers to get a pasteurized supply from the mainland.‘ They would have to import raw milk and have it pasteurized in the only Key West plant. In the light of these facts, which were not at first evident, The Citizen wishes to revise its original stand in regard to the Government funds for removal of the obstructions in the harbor) here have been received by the engineering department in Jack- | sonville, Colonel Mark Brooks, milk ordinance and to urge the members of the city council to delay final action un- til the measure may be studied more thoroughly and possibly revised to protect milk dealers against the loss of their bot- tles. It would be unwise to act against the advice of the state and city health authori- ties. SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B.
