The false reports were spread j from: mouth to mouth. conversation among housewives and curb- | -Now no one seems. 'to ‘be ‘greatly alarmed when Mayor Albury calls atten- ti nto the fact that venereal disease is “spreading among our citizens. It is a peculiarity of Key West communal life to find the insignificant magnified and -the important thing minimized, In the case of the alleged spread of infantile paralysis, which affects dnly a few even at its worst, the city was thrown into a state of excite- ment; But now there is no excitement, al- though social diseases, as they are called in polite conversation, are more dangerous and have far-reaching effect on the living and those yet unborn. It was the topic of | stone philosophers, The alarm died down i as soon as The Citizen published the facts. | Mayor Albury claims that the spread of venereal diseases has been ~ traced» to class cafes or employed b em, in serving the public. The mayor “has ‘asked city council to pass an ordinance giving him full powers to rid the saloons and cafes of such undesirable elements. Council has in- dicated it will meet soon to consider ways | of giving the ‘mayor the power he seeks. The police department is familiar! with the women the mayor mentions. Sev- eral of the women have been arrested at yarious times on various chatges. Such persons, spreaders of daiigerous and in- sidious, are subject to arrest, it would seem to the observer, as vagrants. The Florida vagrancy laws cover a multitude of offenses and can be invoked by the police on almost any dcéasion to bririg ‘about needed action to protect the public safety and health. ¥ oe However, if the vagrancy laws are not considered strong enough to rid. the city of the menace these women constitute, . council by all ‘means should adopt “any necessary~ “ordiriance. These dangerous threats against the health and well-being of our citizens should be run out of town. WALT MASON (Palatka Daily News) “Walt Mason on a summer’s day closed his eyes and.hit the hay. No more of those verses he will write. Walt has told the world ' goodnight.” So the Key Kest Citizen writes the obituary of ‘Walt Mason, ‘newspaper rhymster, whose homely meter was appreciated by millions of readers of his syndicated column of philosophical verse. We have an idea that Walt would have liked that obituary. It sounds like him. He has al-. ready perhaps set the measure to his celestial lyre. Fragments of one of Walt’s odes stuck in our memory for 25 years or more. It was just one of 4 those things, which for no apparent reason im- pinges itself indelibly upon the mind never to be’ forgotten. It was Walt’s Ode to his wheelbarrow, written at the tine that automobile financing was just beginning to come into its own. He de- { veloped the idea that although he possessed a wheelbarrow rather than an automobile, it was fully paid:for and he was content. lewd women frequenting some of our lower | + “My old wheelbarrow, it’s long and narrow.
