Parramore, head of Monroe Coun- ty:;Clinic, and Dan Harrison, sanitary in- spector of the State Board of Health, this week meet with members of the city coun- | cil and entered into a long discussion of the control and eradication of the mosquito. The upshot of that meeting was ap- proval by the council of a recommendation | that two assistant sanitary officers be ap- pointed by the city to work in conjunction with the WPA which has alloted $25,000 | to a program of eradication in this city. ; The two assistant officers will work under Dr. Parramore’s direction and in co-opera- tion with City Sanitary Officer Millard Gibson. Cisterns will be sprayed with oil or otherwise treated to wipe out that breeding place under authority of existing city ordinances. There Were very few mosquitoes in | Key West’during the World War. The, military forces went after the pest the minute they began housing large numbers of troops here. Cisterns were regularly treated and swampy land was sprayed. attained.under the present program, but it must be remembered the city will have to keep everlastingly at the job after the WPA forces are withdrawn. Other Flor- ida cities include mosquito control ex- penses in their budgets and some such pro- vision must be made here. Key West is also fortunate in the an- nouncement carried in a Washington dis- patch in The Citizen yesterday that Dr. Charles L. Williams, assistant surgeon gen- eral of the United States, will visit the city about the first of the month to inspect mos- quito control work being carried out here.

This appears to be particularly true with respect to the effects of tobacco, long a subject of spirit- | ed argument. So far as physical consquences go, its effects seem to depend largely upon the in- dividual. Many who lived to an extreme old age were users of the weed, while oth- ers were not. Leading physicians and sci- entists report that little influence is exert- ed upon the intellectual powers by the use of tobacco. Many literary men believe that smoking is a stimulfnt to their crea- tive impulses. Among the outstanding figures of the past may be named the faflowing smokers: Washington, Bismarck, Kitchener, Spur- geon, Huxley, ‘Keats, Browning, Carlyle, Dickens, Stevenson, Howells, Grant and Mark Twain, the last two being inordinate users of tobacco, Among the non-smokers were Linco!n, Theodore Roosevelt, Wilson, Greely, Wel- lington, Tolstoi, Ruskin, Haeckel, Whittier and others. An interesting trend of the tobacco habit in the last few years is shown by the increasing and almost universal popularity of the cigarette. In spite of strenuous at- tempts to discourage its use, more than 150 are manufactured in the United States annually. While tebacco is no doubt injurious to he young, its detrimental effects, physi- cally or otherwise, upon mature persons have-been perhaps greatly exaggerated. billion ‘Approximately the same results may be | Happenings, Here Just 10 Years Ago Teday As Taken From The Files of The Citizen An article appearing in one of the Los Angeles, Calif., |recently gave an account of a | birthday party given for Betty Jean Dill, daughter of Mr. and ‘Mrs. Frank Dill.

Papers \ THE ISLAND CITY With the Clubs SERVICE CLUB Ladies Night this week was a big thing for the club. Leave it to the men to let the .women down. When the women sang ‘Love’s Old Sweet Song”, the men reiterated with “Home on the range”. The self-appointed club quartet looked with envy on accomplishments of the melody trio which rendered several songs. Don’t know why Doctor KEMP had to read the preamble of the club, none of the ladies would have been entered into the club anyway. Besides the club talks mostly of politics, anyway, every- body in the city says, and they’re not far wrong. The question, though is whether the line of. de- ‘marcation is crossed—whether the club represents just one po- ® litical group with its self. inter- ests or whether it freely and frankly discusses all phases of Key West questions.
