The two greatest causes of war are greed and fear—seldom necessity. Too many fear of not doing wrong but of the wrong being found out. If marriage is a lottery, how about arresting the minister for engaging in it? A gentleman is one who treats. his _ friends as well as he does his creditors. He is also wise, “To preach morality is easy,” said Schopenhauer, “to find a foundation for morality is hard.” It is a quirk of nature to claim kindred with the prosperous and to disclaim it with the destitute. Keep your nose close to the. grind- stone, then you won’t have time to put it in other people’s business. The world is full of irritating things but few of them bother the person who is busy attending to his own affairs. Sympathy is what one Key West wo- | man often offers another woman in ex- | change for a little bit of local gossip. When avperson starts his conversation | by saying, “Please get me straight,” it is “very important for the listener to get him traight. i : It is the belief that noise lowers effi- | ciency. If this is true, and. we believe it is, then leaning on your automobile horn | wouldn’t help much to straighten out a | “traffic jam. | Ee: i The profusion, and often worse than | “profusion, of Government spending, is the more glaring as the Arherican people are | ~so accustomed to honesty and frugality in ‘their dealings with one another. The few who duly forsee and provide are vastly outnumbered by the many who “aftersee and lament. “Go to the ant, thou sluggard ; consider her ways, and be wise.” cif there are no ants about, watch any in- _ sect and observe its provident ways. There. are some people to be found | everywhere who think they are worth a} | { | dollar an hour for their working time, ¢ life. then turn around and waste their spare | time as though they weren’t worth five | cents apiece. The Key West Citizen calls attention | to the fact that public officials “* * *.ser- | vants of the people—should remember | Le in | ings. that the conscience of the community is extremely sensitive to wrong or injustice.” Don’t worry, they always remember it, just before election time—and if they fail, then the outs, who want te get in, will take care of the situation —Times-Union. THE LOW RENT PROJECT THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Key Westers who live comfortably in , | their own homes do not realize the serious- ness of the situation confronting low in- come families in this community. Scores | of squalid old dwellings in which they for- merly resided have been torn down. Other | old buildings which they used to occupy | have been remodeled and modernized and | now can be afforded only by those enjoy- ing higher incomes. The low income fami- | lies have doubled up or found mean | quarters in shacks and tumbledown build- | to economic re- And as Key West makes further ad- | | vances along the road covery their plight will become even more | serious. It was to solve this problem that the | Key West Housing Authority was set up| under state law and in accordance with the national housing aci. The authority here has liminary studies showing the need of a low-rental housing project of at least 100 STEPHEN WAS A SENSITIVE, er SEP ROWER Cimerica’s "ed goed “mma HE PICKED OUT CHORDS ONA GUITAR ON THE FLOOR NAME LANDS HIM JOB PITTSBURGH — Paul Claus who weighs 240 pounds applied for a job at an employment of- fice in this city.

The authority is considering the | difficult matter of sites and is preparing to | | study housing projects in other sections of | the state to determine procedure in procut- ing funds from the U. S. Housing ' Au- thority. Within a few weeks:these pre- liminaries will be completed. Then comes the time when gineering work must be done. Plans must be prepared. Applications for the federal furds must be conipiled and _ submitted with the plans to the lending authorities. The members of the Key West Housing Authority have shown a willingness to give | liberally of their time and effort to pro- | ceeding toward the final objective. matter how great their public spirit, the authority will need a preliminary fund for. the engineering and architectural - work, for clerical-hire and for other sundry ex- pense’. ‘This fund must be supplied cally. 3 The United States Housing’ ‘Aet per- mits loans up' to 90 per cent to: coyer the cost of low-rental projects. getting such loans must provide’ the re- mainder of.the cost. This may come in the form of cash, land, services ‘or in improve- ments such as sewers which here’ would eliminate the necessity of building cess- pools. Approximately $5,000 has been al- located in this year’s Key West budget to cover the engineering and other expenses | of the housing authority here. But budgeting this fund does not mean the money for the work is available in the city treasury. That will have to | come from taxes to be paid by the tax- payers this year. It is obvious, therefore, that the taxes must be paid not only to get | work started on this vital improvement for the poor man and his family, but to keep the entire municipal machine in running order. spare the money now will be performing a public service to the community by paying their taxes promptly. During ‘January, February and March the taxpayer can take advantage of a discount. allowed by the city, so that it is possible to perform | this public service with a fair profit. CHURCH MEMBERSHIP GROWS The total membership of the 248,410 | churches in the United States is estimated at 64,156,895 by the Rev. Dr. Herman C. Weber, editor of the Yearbook of Amer- ican Churches, who is considered an out- standing authority in the United States on religious statistics. Figures for the year 1937 show that the membership of the churches increased twice as fast as the population of this country. While there are two hundred different religious bodies, 97.3 per cent of the total membership is in fifty bodies—all with memberships of 50,000 or more. These statistics should be interesting to citizens who contend that the churches are losing their influence upon American While the growth of religion is not to be measured entirely by the number of members of church organizations, the in- | tention and desire of people to lead better | lives is reflected by the increasing growth of church memberships. If smokers had all the money they spent for tobacco in 1938, they would | probably spend it for tobacco in 1939.

N. Dahle, and must say that he “hit the nail_on the head” many times, but that a lack of: | anowledge of the past history: of | Key West is very noticeable. Had Mr. Dahle liyed among us during the past -ten.. on fifteen |; wrote would have been given more thought before they would qave been put’ on’ paper. “He wrote thaf tourists. who stop at* the best hotels would not wear clothes purchased from “these common stores”; :that -“‘haven’t they (Key Westers) lived here for a hundred years without a street sweeper?”; that “it is your own people that are going to“be hard- est to change”, and other remarks’ about dogs, cats and snoises. To fully understand Key West, one must realize the fight this city has made for existence. At’ times we were practically isolated from the rest of the world. In- dustries left one by one, until finally, when the FERA took the city over, it was almost decided’ to move the population en masse’ to more prosperous territory. All of this had a tendency to “draw” most of us. into “our shells”, so to speak. Then, like a fairy story, the’ gates cf the world (Overseas Highway) were thrown open and outsiders began treking to Key West. We must slowly adjust our- ; selves to.this new experience. So you see, Mr. Dahle, there is more .o our custom than what appears - on the surface. ks Your remark paldbt the street }, sweeper gives the idea that a me-;, chanical sweeper is new to uss This is not so. Key West possess- : vd a strect sweeper years ago be-! fore some «ities of the ‘size of our’ town even thought of one. And it was spread far and wide that we nad the “cleanest” streets in the state. Of-course, this was before the depression. Now, it is dif- ferent. However, it is noted that’ city officials are attempting to remedy this sad state. The dog, cat and noise situation: is not new, either, as you article, | would lead the unfamiliar to be-| lieve. Laws’ ‘have been enacted | to control the. canine’s ‘straying, nowling and barking over town. There is a law against a car op-: erating on the streets mufferless.! | And you mentioned begging; | there is a law against that, too. | or bad, if they aretnot ¢nforced? | Some of ‘the noises jnade by! cars early in the morping can | be attributed to njghtclub patrons, | ota Key Westets ‘and visitors, | !who have imbibed too much. ; | and, if there is such a place, Mr. / | Dahle, that is devoid of all noises : common to cities, I am sure, from | cesires expressed in previous forums in this paper written by visitors, that there is a horde who will greatly appreciate learning the location of that “heaven” on earth. - Key West wants visitors and j mew winter.and summer resi- dents, and will gladly welcome, I am sure, those who will put.
