IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WES ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN Water and Sewerage. Comprehensive City Plan (Zoning). . Hotels and Apartments. . Bathing Pavilion. . Airports--Lind and Sea. . Consolidation of County and City Governments. Some minds are so open that they ap- pear unable to hold anything. Correct this sentence: “My finan- cial arrangements are complete; I have floated a new loan to take up the old debts and I feel like a free man.” After Roosevelt the country ‘needs a president patterned after the stamp of awVice President Garner. He is a liberal with horse sense, who will regain the con- fidence of the country. If you have a severe headache due to . excessive alcoholic indulgence you can al- leyiate:the pain by taking doses of his- tamine. You won’t find it in the dictionary, ‘but you may get it at the drugstore. For once President Roosevelt has gone on one of his many fishing trips without intimating that the war clouds were hanging low over Europe and his presence might be needed in Washingtin before his vacation was completed. In case you ever need the informa- tion, here is a tip on how to win a water- melon-eating contest, from 236-pound 13- year-old Tommy Kehoe, who won one the vother day: “Aw, it’s easy. You just swallow the seeds an’ all.” If Farley, on his present European ‘trip, goes to Finland to thank the govern- ment for its prompt payment of war loans, he should go to France and England and remind those debtor governments that their notes are long past due.

Further details in the grouping of these interests | are to be worked out at a meeting to be | held next Wednesday. | It is a sign thata community i is healthy wher the various interests in that com- munity organize for their own and for community betterment. The Hotel and Tourist Association will combine a group of men and women representing probably | West. Having invested heavily in build- ings and equipment they naturally want to | protect and enhance the value of their in- vestment. That means they must enhance | the value of Key West as a tourist and vacation center. { Among the objectives outlined for the | new association are support of projects for | beach and recreational facilities; con- | certed action teward better advertising of Key West’s advantages and availability, and vigorous protest against proposals, such as exhorbitant highway toll charges, which work against the best interests of Key West and to the disadvantage of the hotel and tourist resorts. i | It is well that such an organization of sound and capable mén and women should } enter into ‘these civic activities. Their | motives are selfish to be sure, but it can | be a kind of unselfish selfishness, in that | what they accomplish can work to the good of all our people depending on the | tourist trade for a living.’ If the hotel and | tourist.interests are successful they will | bring success to dozens of other activities, | from the conch fishermen to the most im- | portant commercial houses in the city. | It is safe to assume, too, that the hotel and tourist interests will strive to- ward high standards in catering to the traveling public to the-end that Key West may be identified as‘a fair and square city in which to visit. Let that word be spread- the length and breadth of. the land and there will be no question about the pros- perity of those here smart enough to get into lines drawing upon the tourist for a living. If the Key West Hotel and Tourist As- sociation can make and keep Key West tourist-conscious with an eye to the future and not just on the immediate dollar, it will have performed a valuable service to this community. WAGE-HOUR HEADACHES It begins to look as if the administra- ies tion of the Wage-Hour law were going to cause as much confusion and ‘consequent headaches as the late NRA of unhappy memory. It may be recalled that the NRA virtually crumbled under its own weight, even before it was outlawed by the ‘Su- preme Court. The Wage-Hour Administration is said to be 80, per cent behind in handling alleged violations, with more than 10,000 complaints piled up. Yet, still shorter. hours and higher wage rates are to go into | effect on October 24. On top of this, the Wage-Hour Ad- ministration is making premature efforts those prescribed by Congress. This is likely to result in more confusion and fewer jobs. Congress itself does not seem overly enthusiastic about the Wage-Hour set-up, for the House cut in half the appropria- tion of two million dollars asked by Ad- ministrator Andrews for 500 field inspec- tors and an enlarged Washington staff. It was predicted by’ business leaders 4 year ago that under the Wage-Hour law “a condition of extreme economic uncer- tainty will always lie dead ahead. ” -Un- is coming true.
