The | bonds call for only 2 percent interest dur- ing the next ten years, so that the city’s | | outlay in this connection will be consider- | ably reduced. However, the important ré- | sult of the refunding operation is to re | store Key West to good financial standing. Despite the fact many old buildings are being razed, it seems certain that by next year the assessable property in Key West will be substantially greater thar it is now, Realty values in general have | been advanced. These factors call for new | assessments based on new structures, im- provements to old buildings and increased property values. In all probability the to- tal assessment roll will be much larger, the | ability of the taxpayers to pay their taxes will be much better and the operating costs of the city much lower by reason of the re- ducéd interest rates on the bonded in- | debtedness. ; , Bherefore, it follows the city will i have ‘more money to spend on public serv- ‘ices and improvements. But first, the i many ol d-and nagging small debts as well as the few-darger ones, must be paid. Our firemen, policemen and other city em- | ployes have considerable cash coming to | them. Their demands must be met and paid in full. Some of the increased revenue | undoubtedly will have to be used for these | purposes. Nevertheless, the city’s current rev- enue will be larger and the city’s credit will be improved. There will be a tempta- tion on the part of city officials and coun- cilmen to go on a spending spree. We do not claim they will do anything of the kind, but we do say the temptation to do so will be strong. We have known few poli- ticians who could resist such a tempting prospect, What is needed is careful planning. As we have suggested on previous occa- sions, there should be some central plan- ning board representing our municipal gov- ernment and city council, the business and commercial interests.and the civic organ- izations of Key West. Such a body could consider and weigh all proposals for major expenditures and general improvements. rejected. Acted upon, such a_ program would conserve the city’s cash and main- tain her new credit.

The Christian Faith is based on the resurrection of Jesus. As Paul said, our faith is in vain if there was no ressurection. The triumph of Jesus over death is the assur- ance of immortality to every man and the confirmation of the di- vine in the personality of Jesus of Nazareth. ‘Our lesson text gives us some details of two occasions upon which Jesus appeared to his fol- lowers after his resurrection. In all, the New Testament recounts eleven different appearances of Jesus during the forty days be- tween his resurrection and his as- cension, In connection with this week’s lesson, it would be inter- esting for each reader to follow (these, and, therefore, we give jthem in chronological order with the scriptural reference: (1) The first appearance on Sunday morning was to Mary | Magdalene near the sepulchre, re- counted in Mark 16:9 and John 20:11-18.

CLEARWATER, June 18 (FNS). —Beekeepers estimate that about 400,000 pounds of honey are pro- duced annually in Pinellas coun- ty, and that the revenue is $80,- 000 a year figured at 20 cents a pound. This places the honey in- dustry second to citrus in this county. The best honey producer in Pinellas county is the orange blossom. Other nectar sources ‘are palmetto blossoms, black mangrove (which grows in salt water), cabbage palm, golden rod, partridge pea and other summer flowers. While the honey bee could live a life span of three years, it never dies of old age. The usual life span is 45 days, and the honey bee works itself to death within that time.

There are local merchants and busi- ness men who are incensed when they hear of Key Westers shopping in Miami, who themselves go there on occasion and do a little shopping on the side, as it were. Mest men in public positions love pow- er and dislike restraint. This is especially true of those who have held public office for aw long time. Of course, there are ex- ceptions rare, ¥ou can prove anything by statistics and so.a North Carolina editor has proceed- ed to do so. He says there are 124,000,000 persdjis in the United States of whom 30,- 000,000 are eligible for old age pensions. That Jeaves 94,000,000 to do the work, but 20,000,000 of them are employed by the government so that leaves only 74,000,000 to do the work.

This goes considerably beyond the practice | of ordinary cribbing, whereby various data are secretly carried into the examination room by dishonest students in an effort to | avoid failure. It also raises the question of whether it is not as reprehensible for a bright stu- dent to aid a lazy or dull one as it is for the incompetent to accept such aid. There seems to be no doubt that one is as dis- honest as the other. It seems impossible to entirely eradi- cate cheating in examinations, but the practice carries its own penalty for those who indulge in it. They suffer from loss of self respect; they handicap themselves at the very beginning of their careers, an‘i inevitably weaken whatever of moral character they may have originally pos- sessed. Like the commission of more seri- ous offenses, it doesn’t pay. Another of those indefatigable re- searchers has discovered that children born when their fathers are over 40 years of age have better chances of success than the offspring of younger men. The reason may be that the elder fathers don’t live to sold a bad example before the kids so long.
