Com tions now with what they were five » ago the difference in the geiieral appear. ‘ance of the community is almost startling. | :| A great deal of work has been done to clean up yards and streets. Old ‘houses and buildings have been repaired, re- painted and rebuilt. The city is now reg- ularly sweeping the main streets. However much work may be done from day to day; a certain amount of de- bris and trash is bound to accumu vacant lots and other places. The ac- cumulations finally become so heavy that | mere sweéping no longer is effective. It takes men with picks and shovels and a squad of. trucks. to do the job right. Phe time to do this kind of work is just before the opening of the winter season. | Arthur Sawyer Post of the American Legion now proposes to sponsor a project | for cleaning up the city. The Legion- naires are going to-seek the cooperation of the city, the county, the WPA and various ‘civic organizations. They are going to get estimates of the cost to put a. number of tren on the job of clearmg away the debris of the last 15 or 18 months, loading it on trucks and hauling it to an incinerator. That is the kind of civic service that Key West needs. Nearly all the live civic groups in Key West are engaged in similar efforts intended to lift the city out of the dumps. The Legion has thoughtfully. de- cided to help clean up the city. Such serv- ice helps Key West, proves to the world there are some alert and _ public-spirited citizens here who want to put the best foot forward in the race for tourist approval | and tourist patronage. KILLING THE GOOSE (St. Augustine Record) It seems to be a pretty well established fact that when a toll, tariff or tax is stepped up | ‘above what seems a fair amount, revenues begin to fall oft. The public responds well ‘to what seems a fair levy, ‘but résents what it looks! upon as “gouging, or an attempt to extract more than is permissible under a ‘standard method ‘of pro- cedure. ieee According, it to The Key West Citizen, the beo- ple of that Island City were dumbfoundéd when they learned that the Overseas’ Road and Toll Bridge Cofnmission had voted to raise: tolls be- ginning September 1, and to dismiss Generai Manager B. M. Duncan. It seems members of the commision reasoned | p. that an inerease in. tolls would résult in an in- crease in revenues. that way, much to his ultimate sorrow.. The new tariff will be $1.75 for car and driver instead of $1, for car and driver, as at present, and there will be proportionate increases in bus and truck tolls. : According to The Key West Citizen, the .ma- jority of civic and business leaders believe this is faulty reckoning. They point to the fact that sales of most commodities increase as Prices go down. As price levels rise, sales drop off. Key Westers fear that the net result of the toll increase will be-to reduce traffic over the highway, result in an increase in ‘fares, and in- crease the cost of food and_other sippliés’ in the Island City, because of increased tolls on’ which carry so. much of the produce’ into Key} ‘West. . If this view is correct, Key West interests depending upon the tourist trade, will suffer a loss of business and trade. General business and construction ‘activity will be affected; the num- ‘ber cf unemployed in Key West and Monroe ‘County will be increased, and the city’s economic machinery, operating under considerable diffi- culty at best, will be thrown out of gear. ‘There will be a loss to the state in gasoline taxes, a loss to the bridge commission in toll col- lections, a loss to the city and county in general and occupational taxes. The Key West Citizen sees a ray of hope the proposed toll matter through the fact the rates must be approved by: the Reconstruetion, td Finance uke as which foe the highway aia ny Selene Founda- | ' in | Many a man has reckoned | reeue= LELLEL, ‘gl White and Washington Streets Jolin G.

The name of his and also, that. of his mother. is significant. Uzziah, in the He- brew, means, af Jeho- vah”, and Jecollah, his mother, means “Jehovah is able”. It is thing, even things moral and re- ligious. No.longer did he think ‘he heeded the prayers of the jpriests in the temple—he con- sidered himself fully competent jto burn his own incense and say his own prayers. This he pro- ceeded’ to do. He went into the temple, advanced towards the | Holy of Holies, and proceeded to offer incense on the golden al- tar, which stood before the veil ey shrouded the inner cham- rT. Uzziah’s punishment ‘was swift and sure. His anger, which flared at the priests who dared protest against his conduct, had hardly subsided when white spots of lep- resy began to show on his fore- head. The priests thrust him from the ‘temple and from that day on, he was compelled to spend the remaining days of his life in soli- tary exile. Once the idol of his jlikely that Uzziah owed as much to his. mother as to his father in| ithe way. of godly training aad} ; good heme influence. Under the leadership of Uzziah, | Judah attained its greatest |t heights of. material prosperity. | Immediately, he . brought into! subjugation the nearby. . Phili-| stines, the Ammonites, and. sev- | eral other ancient. enemies of his | people. He extended and strengthened the defenses of} Jerusalem and recruited _ and | equipped a large army. Loving things agricultural, he encourag- jed farming and cattle-raising. For { more than fifty years,. practically | jeverything he un was? crowned. with outstanding suc- ! cess. But, in. the midst of ap- parent prosperity, disaster struck. | A careful look into the record, |recorded in If Chronicles 26, re- |veals the answer. There we have | the secret, of Uzziah’s. early suc-; | cess and there, also, we have the; reason for, his later. downfall. 'Ther are two significant sen- |tences which we may take from) ] | the Scriptural ‘record of this: | young King’s life which should act} jas an inspiration and a warning; |to every young... person ° today. | The first, “And he set himself to seek God. ..” and, “As long as he re Jehovah, God made him | ba = inder the guidance of the} | prophet of God, Zechariah, the| | young king sought to do every- IN | thing that was right in the eyes) |of.God. As a natural outcome of} |‘this sincere and earnest -effort, success was the reward and his | kingdom prospered. . He was re- |garded as a great ruler through- Tout the. neighboring ag here /and, as so often happens, U: | forgot the source of his psc land - became very proud and I; strong in his own self-counsel. How easy it is to see im the | story of this king of Judah a pic- |ture of many modern people of | today. As long as the travel on | the highway of life is rough and \hard, they rely upon God's guid- ance and protecting power. Then, having overcome the difficulties, | through His help, they arrive at} the place in life where the way is smoother and the jraveling more, easy; they forget God and | determine to live from then on as they please, no longer relying lowing in the paths directed by Him. | So successful had Uzziah been! | in erecting buildings and training people, now Uzziah was shunned }and despised by even the most lowly subject. Comparisons are often odious and moral-drawings sometimes e. And yet, this lesson jould not be overlooked by all of us today. Literally born in the blood of God-loving and God- | tearing forefathers, the people of this country prospered so long as they remained loyal to and rever- ent of God. As they have wan- dered away from Him, forsaking His temples, desecrating His day, there has come into the: national. life of this country unrest, dis-~ content, and, if we do not take care, national disaster.
