It would be fine for creditors if folks would sign a check as readily as they sign a petition. Advertising is a good way to invest some of the money that you have for the development of your business. It is apparent that the politicians are “ferninst” the city charter—one very good reason why it should become law. The person who can forget is better off than the person who always remem- bers. So either forget about what the other fellow owes you, or quit lending. “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown!” Maybe that’s the reason the king of England did not bring his with him— wants to catch up with some of his lost sleep. It was Admiral Porter who designated Key West as the Gibraltar of America and the nation has accepted the designation as appropriate. Now Puerto Rico is horning in on the appellation and doing quite well, thank you. Owning a house on the Keys, at Key Largo, Boake Carter, the columnist, is now a resident and taxpayer of Monroe County, and he is not going to be hesitant to let County Commissioner T. Jenkins Curry know that he is such. Ernest Hemingway recently left Key West to catch up with some of his writing since he was too frequently called upon to be host to visitors which took up too much of his time. You can come back, Ernest, everything is very quiet here now. One of the biggest mistakes the Char- ter Revision Committee made was _ its failure to make known the charter provi- ‘sions in a more convenient manner than the requirement of going to the city hall and reading the bulky document under not always pleasant circumstances. It is very likely that Senator Ward will tack on a/ thus | rider to Representative Papy’s bill, giving the voters a chance to see what it’s all about, at the city election in Novem- ber, provided proper publication is forth- coming. This column stated the other day that during the incumbency of Judge Rogelio Gémez as county judge in 19386 the so- called “hot” absentee vote had reached the stratospheric number of 400 and that néver before had a total absentee vote reached as many as 100. The last part of this statement was in error. The writer's attention has been called to another alti- tudinous absentee vote when in the elec- tion of June 4, 1932, the number of ab-/| sentee votes was 315, and at that time no hullabaloo was raised. The files of The Citizen verify the number and statement. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN HELPING THE HOMELESS | Monroe County is planning to do its | | full share in the great humanitarian work | | of the Children’s Home Society of Florida, | one of the outstanding organizations of its | kind in the country. ; i | As explained by officials of the society before the Rotary club and a group of in- terested citizens in Key West last week, | thousands of homeless, orphan and needy | children are annually placed in the homes — of childless and bereaved men and women throughout the state; other. thousands of such children are given food and clothing $0 | until they may become the legal wards of worthy couples. i | At such child placing agencies as that \ | maintained by the society at Miami and | other central points, normal and placeable children who have lost their homes and | parents permanently, or children who should be removed from their homes per- | | manently by court procedure because of | neglect, abuse, immorality and ~ similar | reasons are received and maintained in | healthful and happy surroundings until | ‘proper homes can be found for them. Convinced of the need for such or- ganized effort and certain that the so- ciety’s aims are adequately attained under the society’s present method of operations, | a Monroe County Sponsoring Committee | has been created. The Committee is headed by the Rev. John C. Gekeler whose effort in bettering the lot of our needy and less fortunate citizens has been one of the ' bright spots in the black cloud of economic blight that has been blanketing our com- munity life these last few years.

DELHI, May 29.—A new map of India, on a scale of 50 miles to the inch, showing all the changes brought about by the introduc- tion of the Government of India Act, has been issued. The act involved the creation lof new provinces and regrouping of states into different political charges which made all previous maps of India out of date.
