That is of prime neces- | sity. Others are imperative but are not | likely to be supplied until the city and county coffers begin to fill up again. How- ever, one development can be undertaken | without great expenditure. That is a program providing fomade- quate beach and bathing facilities. Realiz- | ing the importance of this undertaking, | the Key West officials of the WPA have | joined with a number of citizens in bring- | ing this matter to the officials attention of the board of county commissioners. They ‘8s | have proposed that the county undertake an immediate survey to determine what | north of Roosevelt boulevard safe and to ascertain the number of jetties and other | details necessary to create a sand beach at the southeastern edge of the island. After the survey is finished, the WPA officials have agreed to study it and to prepare a plan on which a request for an appropria- tion might be based. It is hoped the com- mittee selected by the commission to in- vestigate the proposal makes a speedy and favorable report. is no question of the need for each and bathing facilities. A few short- sighted individuals have been heard pooh- ‘poohing the idea on, the ground that other improvements are of more pressing im- portance. Let’s examine this closely: South Beach is in private hands and soon may be closed to public use. The city and county are unable financially to acquire the prop- erty for public use. boulevard is strewn with boulders and rock and dangerous for unwary and _ inexperi- enced swimmers. Key West is going to, attract hun- dreds, yes thousands, of tourists and winter residents. That means business activity, which means employment. These mean taxes will be paid, so the city and county may proceed with other improvements, In order to keep visitors here any length of time. they must be amused. One of the most popular amusements is bathing and swimming, for the majority. come south in | winter for the sunshine. It stands to reason bathing and beach facilities are very important to the future of Key West. Every interested citizen should ask the co-operation of the county commission in bringing about this develop- ment. A DOCTOR ADVISES PHYSICIANS Dr. Hugh Cabot, of the Mayo Clinic, performed a useful service in outlining the proper sphere of activity for the physicians of this country. Speaking recently in Washington, Dr. Cabot pointed out that the physicians of this country are the only experts upon ‘whom,the country can depend for expert ji inions.

Mrs. Owen delivered a lengthy speech but of such interest that the time seem- ed to pass quickly and she was) given wonderful applause at its conclusion. Claims that the state govern- ment “can’t build your highway bridges are al] nonsense”, said Sidney J. Catts, candidate for governor, when he addressed a large audience last night at Bay- view Park. Whatever any one “else may tell you”, he said, “the governonis supreme in the State Road Department. He has a legal wight to, order certain work done. If it isn’t done he has only to re- move ‘the offending individual and put in somebody who will do as he wishes”. Mr. Catts said that if he was elected governor he would build the bridges and see ‘that the work was started as soon as he found it possible. “I am not promising this solely because of Key West and my liking for its people, but because I am convine- ed that the Overseas Highway one of the most important thor- oughfares in the United States”, the speaker said.

A number of them will attend summer school while others will take up special studies, atyother institutions, , 131 absentee ».¥otes has been polled up to 3 o'clock this afternoon and at that hour ' Judge Gunn reported a lessening of activity and expressed the opinion that there would be but perts in social, economic or financial fields. | He recognizes the right of doctors to deter- | mine the best medical practice but he de- nies to them the right to prescrike ex- | clusively how much treatment shall be ! brought to the people. | “What organized medicine appears to be asking,” says Dr. Cabot, “is that it shall, | as a body, be given control of the changes | which are to be made, as time goes on, in | the method of offering medical care to the | American people.” He expressed grave | doubts of the wisdom of delegating any | { such power to any group and c it “fas | cism of the Italian type.” Dr. Cabot pojpts out that, ‘ grave danger that, in attemptihg | prove, not the scientific and professional equipment of their members, but their fi- nancial security, organized medicine may more and more take on the aspect of a trade union.” The observations of Dr. Cabot, made in particular reference to physicians have equally as important bearing on the prob- lems that confront attorneys-at-law. Both professions face the danger outlined by Dr. Cabot and, in some respects, are tend- to become trades rather than profes- | sions, ATOR OTS { LEE ICE REFR These refrigerators PROOF and absolutely air tight Priced from $20.00 v Easy Terms—10 Days Free Trial Qn Display at —Phone No. 8— This was one of the out-' one fib AS: SARE -- ec in one of our !
