Consolidaticn of County and City Governnents, It is said that swearing is unknown among the Sioux. So is golf. Key West is as good a place for you in which to live as you deserve. Some women mistake longing for a meal ticket for love at first sight. Most people enjoy good meals, pecially if somebody else serves them. es- One critic refers to a crooner as “a medieval minstrel born five centuries too late for beheading.” “Jones Shoots Sixty-five: Headline. That's terrible to contemplate until we find jt refers to golf. An exchange observes that you can’t believe everything you hear, but you can havera lot of fun repeating it, . os long as the buyers do not dis- ctimifiate between reputable and un- scrupulous merchants, they may expect to get the short end of the trade. __.QOne trouble with the political world isthat voters give their support to the men “who promise them the most and then ex- pect them to get it for you without ° in- creasing the taxes. There is always a headache after a drinking spree and there will be a national headache after the proposed spending spree. It seems there is no cure for the drinker or the spender, so long as each can get hold of what he wants most. A 9-year-old girl in Colorado sees everything upside down. In this topsy- turvy world she will have no difficulty in making her mark, and were she . of, age, could qualify cum laude for a Federal job, provided pax occylar contortion remained permanent. Political pull and not merit still counts in the selection of the postmasterships. i Although Postmaster Harris was 12 points ehead of his nearest competitor, Repre- sentative Pat Cannon recommended one of his ‘supporters to the office, Politics is a Ca hare of gamble—you've got to het on the | ding | get limes or were given limes of indifferent | “KEY WEST LIMES” Someone is always taking the joy out of life for our noted and highly vocal pessi- | mists. Among their gloomy songs of dire | disaster has been one to the effect that | lime-growing in Key West and along the | Florida keys could never be put on g profit- able basis. They said lemons from abroad | and the co-operative marketing methods | of the California growers stood in the way | of development of a lime market. f Let’s look into this situation. Lemons | have been standard in households for years | beyond memory. -Lime growers have tried repeatedly to compete with them, without | great success. Our northern friends in- form us that they either were unable to | quality when they could get them. In | short, the lemon distributors outsmarted | the lime distributors. They kept good | lemons on the market. Dried up, juiceless | limes could not compete with firm,, juicy lemons. | Further, even today the average northern housewife, and many Florida housewives, do not know anything about limes. They do not know their value in cooking and for cold drinks. They have not been trained and educated in the use of limes. -In fact, they know about as much about limes as a hog does about trimming a Christmas tree.~ So the job of | lime marketing is largely a promotional | one. Limes must be advertised and sold to housewives, | Of the various schemes for promoting the use of limes in Florida and elsewhere throughout the country one of the best has just been evolved right here in Key West | by a Key West group of optimists. Sug- gested by John Gardner, the Chamber of Commerce is helping in the distribution of | small crates of limes as souvenirs to be-| sent all over the country by our citizens and visitors to Key West. For a small sum a crate can be bought and be mailed any- | where. : In connection with that plan of dis- tribution, The Citizen is co-operating with the Chamber of Commerce in the proposed preparation of folders containing, some re- cipes for the use of limes in drinks, des- serts, pies, salads and other dishes. Our readers have been asked to send in their | best recipes for inclusion in the folders. A small crate of limes and a folder describing uses for them will undoubtedly create a demand for “Key West Limes” wherever they are sent. It is a good idea, a sound business proposition. It is probable that Key West Limes will find a ready. market. It will expand a small industry. It will bring prosperity to our ‘frost-free lime areas along the keys and in - Key West. This will increase the demand for property| in Monroe county. And that means prosperity for many of our citizens. Gangway for our Key West optimists! | BE WISE IN THE WATER During the hot summer months nearly everybody likes to go in the water. In addition to public bathing on the beaches Be and at the resorts, water spore attract thousands of people. The accident toll is high? For some reason, sensible persons take chances in the water. Good swimmers drown through over-confidence. Flippant jesters rock the boat. é It’s a good idea for people to know the simple rules that might save their lives. Swimming alone, when over-heated ' or too early after eating, may be disastrous. It’s also a good idea to know the depth of the water. Finally, make it a rule to avoid smart tricks and -“showing-off.” STABILIZATION PROFITS The stabilization fund of $2,000,000,- 000 created out of the profits to the gov- ernment when this country devalued gold has earned a profit of $17,524,096, of which $8,889,881 were made in the nine months that ended March 31st. - We confess that we do not understand | ea the operations of the stabilization fund but | "iors. we realize that it serves a useful purpose in maintaining an agreed” upon ratio be- tween various currencies in the interna- tional money markets.

The for- mer had thrown his mantle over | the latter at a youthful age, and |Elisha had. immediately given up il other interests. It has been pointed out that outstanding trait in the char- jacter of Elijah was courage. He ‘certainly had the courage of his /gonvictions and dared eyen the |king’s certain displeasure in standing true to his belief in Je- \God. Our lesson for this week, she remembered what she had bene taught—that God was good and that, through his prophet, Elisha, he would heal all who [might come to him. Therefore, she expressed the wish to her mistress that her master might be | with the prophet that was in her \homeland, Israel, for she knew ithat he would heal him of his only to Naaman, but also to the jKing of Syria, who immediately |commanded that Naaman be sent jto the king of Israel, laden with gifts of gold and silver and rai- mant and with a letter stating that Naaman was to be cured of this leprosy, The king of Israel was deeply concerned, upon re- ceipt of the letter, fearing that this was only a pretext on the part of the king of Syria, for en- gaging in war. Howeyer, when Elisha heard of it, he commanded that Naaman come to him. Naaman came.
