The Citizen has al- ways been a “straight” newspa- Per ztid will continue to be un-, der the present management. One past instance is refusal of the present management to take a bribe running into thousands from “wire tappers” merely not to mention their activities in columns of this paper. The offer was'refused and later the tappers were run cut of town. This paper has never been a “shakedown” Newspaper, which, if you know ‘your Miami activities, means a newspaper which will threaten a erook with exposure of his activi- ties unless he “kicks in” with a stated sum to the newspaper. Other newspapers which have at- tempted to establish a foothold in Key West have always found out that this attitude has created great good feeling among ‘the citizenry. Although Key West has never been an. advertising town. compared with the average towns: in the United States, The! Citizen has continued as a daily through thick and thin, attempt- ing to put out a newsy little news- paper. GREATEST PROBLEM in Key West is unemployment and its consequences. According to sta- tistics by the State Welfare Agency here there are 1,400 on Telief, which represents an aver- age of four to a family, and there- fore 5,600 who are far from well off. There are 800 applications for old-age assistance, with 509 recipients. There are 130 appli- cants for assistance to the blind, with assistance given to 100. There are 500 persons who need assistance for their cause the state has allowed only the amount to carry that 50. The total represents over 7,000 per- sons,. which are really in bad straits here. Helping them are the churches, as much as_ they are able, which is but little; State Welfare Board, Monroe County Commissioners, WPA Housekep- ing. A serious problem is the growing number of _ children sent out by parents to beg. De- Happenings Here Just Ten From The Files Colonel Charles A.

Any germs which may be on the surface is soon ferreted out and killed by the searching rays of the warm, healthful sun. Many bodily diseases are aided greatly by Dr. Sol. The water system of the island is deep in the rock. Any contamination which sinks into the soil can penetrate only,’ in bulk form, io rock area, which in most cases is but a few feet below the surface, and there it stops. Thus germs do not reach water levels, Other water, direct from the skies and purer than! most city water, is contained in! cisterns, protected from the out- | side soil by concrete suyround- | ings. | WHAT DOES IT COST a Key!
