West; yet other cities have projects | under construction while this city is still: far from its objective in this respect. | A partial report just released by the Key West Housing Authority shows that a | WPA survey in two; of the city’s five dis- triets indicates there are 918 families: liv- ing here in sub-standard houses.- Using these preliminary figures as a base, it is | conservatively estimated 1,400, such fami- | lies are so housed in Key West. This is al) deplorable condition and one that promises to grow steadily worse as old dwellings are demolished in the inevitable march of progress. The local Housing Authority “had hoped to prove only that there were at least 400 families living in sub-standard houses. This was to have been the basis for plans for two 150-unit low-rental housing proj- | ects to provide decent living quarters for | famiies with incomes between $40. and | $50 a month. In light of the fact that 1,- 400 sub-standard dwellings probably exist here, 300 housing units would hardly, ap- pear sufficient to handle the demand. However, two 150-units, would bé a long step forward in the effort to provide ‘the unfortunate familiés of Key West with decent; sanitary and wholesome homes. The pity is that the movement for a hous- ing program of this sort was not started sooner—and that the city has not been in- terested enough’ to provide the Housing Authority with sufficient funds to carry on its work. The preliminary work and the plan- | ning of such projects takes considerable | money that must be provided by the spon- sorihg community before the U. S. Hous- ing Authority can put up the funds to pro- vide for the necessary construction. If the WPA had not aided the local Housing Au- thority in making the dwelling survey this phase of the. work would not have been started yet, for the city did not provide money. necessary in carrying on such an ef- | fort. substantial sum from the city treasury for completing the plans for the housing units so sorely needed here. Key West cannot hope to solve the housing problem in oi The Citizen hopes the Key West Hous- ing Authority’s effort is rewarded by a| rewe rw TUTE SE. Rirhee.

WHITE HOUSE NOTES Interesting facts concerning the | White House and its long list of occupants could be compiled to fill many volumes, A few may be mentioned: Washington was the only President who never lived in the White House; Jolin Adams was the first to live there; Hayes was the only one to take the oath of office inside its walls; Cleveland the only one to be married there. Madison fled from the White House to Virginia when it was burned after cap- ture by the British in 1814. Monroe first oceupied it after its restoration in’1817. Taft was the first to be President of 48 states, New Mexico and Arizona Nav- ing been admitted to statehood during his term. The first floor of the White House is devoted to public functions, the second and third'to private quarters for the President’s family and their guests. Thé First Lady ean not make changes in the furniture or decorations of the first floor rooms except by permission of the Fine Arts Commtis- sion. Principal rooms on the first floor are the East room, the Green room, the Blue room, the Red room, and the state dining |i - room. The Blue room is perhaps the most impressive, being eliptical in shape, with wall coverings and curtains of heavy ¢ord- éd blue silk. The cornerstone of the White House was laid on October 13, 1792, and it was first cequipled in 1800. ; Dictators Hitler and Mussolini see themselves only as reflected in a mirror. Hf only there were some power to give them the gift to see themselves as others sée them, not as others kow-tow to them. Dictators are mere strutters arid should be langhed to scorn: The poet Burns, a hater of social injustice, and a master of satire, alluded to that gentry in this fashion: “Ye see yon birkie; ca’d a lord, States, and a’ that; Tho’ hundreds worship ‘ at his word, He's but a cvof for a” that.” Chureh school meets at 9:45 a, | ;m.
