Consolidation of County and City Governments. , The Roosevelt administration likes to do everything in a big way—have a look at our National debt. Toledano, the Mexican communist, and John L. Lewis are pals; they write let- ters to each other. Thanksgiving Day gives everybody a ehance to wonder whether they have any- thing to be thankful for. A fanciful retribution would be a powerful League of Nations equipped with an army made up of Jews. One of the best arguments for trad- ing at home is that local merchants have to stand back of their sales, Speeding automobiles will get you sooner or later unless the speed laws are better observed all over the United States. This is National Book Week, and of special significance to the book-worms, the bi-peds that read, not those that tun- nel through the leaves. a If you are reading a borrowed copy of The Citizen you can save yourself time, and insure getting the local news every is- sue, by sending in a subscription, Tt was an old colored mammy who once said, “If you haven't got a eddica- tio, you’ve got to use your brains.” She might have added, if you have any.

This agency | has been working for some weeks and, with assistance of Franklin Albert and others identified with WPA, has collected a considerable volume of data concerning requirements of those who now live ip have been forced togind precarious shelte; elsewhere following demolition of a large number of old buildings during the year or so, The need for a housing project to take care of approximately 100 families West’s Housing Authority is now trying to solye the problem of a site. Since the United States Housing Authority will loan proved housing project and since the sponsoring city must appropriate 10 per the Key West Housing Authority may be able to acquire a site by procuring a suffi- cient number of tax delinquent properties. In some cities such sites are obtained in this manner, often by trading outlying de- linquent properties taken over by such municipalities for land within the zero se- lected for the housing project. If some such arrangement can be worked out in Key West and if the city can show, as it confidently expects to be able to do, that it has an economic future extending over the period ot the federal loan, 60 years, there is now every indica- tion a slum clearance project for the city will go forward as quickly as funds become available. It probably will not cost the taxpayers of the city one cent, except in- directly through the donation of tax de- linquent properties of questionable value. The Key West Housing Authority is to be congratulated upon the speed and sound procedure it has followed in bring- ing the project forward to its present status. Every good citizen hopes the ulti- mate result will be worthy of the men who are giving time to solving this pressing problem, THE RED CROSS APPEAL The annual campaign of the American, | Red Cross is at hand and the people of Key | West are again ur; become members | of an organizatioh, lished by Con- | gress, for humanitarian purposes. 5 | In time of war the Red Cross becomes The United | | States Housing Authority is concerned | squalid and delapidated quarters or who laste has been pretty definitely established.

TWO MOST COMMON IMPLE- |MENTS used to kill fish are the |bruiser and sticker. The bruiser \is of yellow-pine wood approxi- mately two feet long and about [ies inches thick. Shapes vary— some round, some square and jothers wider than they are thick. |The club tapers off at one end to la size that can easily be grasped |by the hand. Bruisers are used |to kil small-size fish, such as | grunts, yellowtail, porgies, lain |snappers, etc. The sticker, on the other hand, can be used on all \fish in which the length of the |point can penetrate to the brain. ‘Phe sticker is of cast iron or steek Its length is usually a footsand-a-half to two feet. The point, which forms a square at ne end, is about an inch and a half long. The sticker resembles & A {portion of the bottom part cut off.

Small fish can eas- ily be scaled because the scales are not imbedded into the outer skin to any great length. Jew- fish scales are so large and so deep in the outer skin that it takes quite a pull to remove even | a single one.

Happenings Here Just Ten _ KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE B Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen Regular highway ferry sched- lule, which affords two sailings daily from each end of the route, will be resumed commencing | with tomorrow morning, Assist- \ant Enginer Clifton Bailey an- ‘nounced today. Sailing will be lat 8 a. m. and 1 p. m., as former- lly, from both No Name Key and }Lower Matecumbe. Mr. Bailey | said that in order to provide ade- quate service both the Ferries! Florida Keys and Key West have been placed in first-class condi- tion. They have been painted, thoroughly overhayled and are now ready to handle the tremend- ous amount of | tra’ during the present season. Trav- el over thé ferries has now in- creased appreciably and there is an appretiable percent of foreign ports of Mr. Bailey. A squad of about nine prohi- bition agents and other enforce- |ment officers arrived in the city early this morning and at once started their activities. A num- ber of places were raided in a \rapidly executed expedition in noon it was understood that as many as a dozen arrests are to |be made by the officers and those arrested will be arraigned some time today before C.

The minstrel show at San Car- ‘los theater, which met with such ‘great success last Monday night, was repeated last night with a fairly large attendance. The show was put on by Mrs. Virgil Cor- dero.

Even those who hold no brief for the Jews have a revulsion of feeling against the barbarie treatment accorded them by the Germans. Such persecution will only strengthen the Jews and Hitler will ac- eomplish the very anthithesis of what he is striving to attain. The Fuehrer’s insane hatred of the Jew is dethroning his reason. Secretary Ickes refers to President Roosevelt as “Papa” and he is loyal to his dai. Recently President Roosevelt re- buked Dies, and Iekes, parrot-like dees the same.
