Secretary Singleton, who wrote the declaration, loses no opportunity to keep Key West in the spotlight. A treasury report shows that of the 130,000,000 people in the United States, 43 had incomes of $1,000,000 or more in 1937. } Their aggregate income was $73,000,000.

Many of these youths, without the aid | of some such program, under conditions | existing in the city at present would be urable to settle themselves into useful oc- cupations because of lack of training. It is through aetual work that these young - sters learn their respective trades and the products they produce and. the services they render are of great beneft to Key | West. The scope of the program can best be realized by explaining the NYA operations here. As outlined by Mr. Lowe, are employed in the craft shop building | furniture and other items; in building | | playgeund equipment, some of which al- ready has been installed at Bayview Park; | in the production of a stage, scenery and other properties for the Overseas Cele- | bration; in making clothing which is dis- | tributed by the WPA to needy persons; in epairing cars in the WPA garage: in Bate ing as assist jin earning he ech | WPA nursery school; i | fish are dgreti fyt at the Key West! | Aquarium; in handling recreation ects in¥the offices * agencies. These activities are beneficial in many | directions. The youths engaged in the work are helped to become better citizens capable of supporting themselves, the poor of the city are supplied with clothing and | other needs, and Key West receives a great deal of handmade equipment for parks, playgrounds ard schools. Every encouragement should be given these young men and women and every effort ; should be made .o find private employment | for them when they have completed their | training courses, By MARCY B.
