Nations, like their leaders, sometimes go mad. A very little sometimes ruins an ex- cellent individual. The conscience of some men is much more elastic than others. Children used to learn valuable les- sons at mother’s knee and across father’s knee. Head work is a great deal harder than hand work—that's why we have so little of it. The Golden Rule is just as much | needed in business and industry as any- where else. Boys and girls of today, it should be remembered, will be the men and women of tomorrow. The best proof or guard against prop- aganda is to cultivate, like the historian, a ! reverence for fact. Mer who complain about how much work they have to do would feel better if they got busy and got some of it done. Feople who don’t amount to much themselves often brag a lot about their bright children and prominent ancestors. Some people have the idea that going to church and putting a few pennies in the collection plate for the poor is real reli- gion. We always talk about breaking up a home as if it were a tragedy, but in the great majority of cases it is a godsend.— Dorothy Dix. Gambling in Key West will never be stopped until the people want it stopped. So far this moral force has been lacking to an appreciable extent. Undoubtedly the most despicable | concomitant attribute to the vice of gam- | bling is the corruption of public officials | by tribute. When police officials are paid | regularly, perhaps the crime will abate or | cease altogether. Some of the old crusading spirit in | newspapers is lacking and experienced editors over the country think it is just as well. Those who believe themselves anointed and with a mandate from the} people usually have a brief existence, then pass into oblivion. There was such paper in Miami but vanished into ethereal space | before its emulous mission was performed.

That is the kind of action demanded | by this city in all matters affecting the | | ec mmunity welfare. | The zoning board now must proceed | | to do all over again what was done sev- eral months ago—namely, consider a pro- | | per zoning ordinance to make the zoning regulations effective. City council passed a zoring ordinance before the state legislature passed an act enabling such ac- | tion. Later it was found the zoning law | could not become effective until after the November election. Zoning board members plan a series of hearings to determine the attitude of our citizens toward the provisions of the | zoning law. As the ordinance now stands, | it sets up zones in which manufacturing | activities may be carried on in the future, where commercial business is permissible | and where only residences may be built. | | Then, too, the measure provides property | | owners ise Sa against erection of ob- | | jectionable structures near their homes, In | | short, the law would restrict certain types of construction to certain districts, without | affecting present buildings, for the ee cannot be retroactive. After the zoning board completes its work, it will submit the ordinance to city i Council may | whether the provisions of the measure are | understood and approved by the public. | Then council-may adopt the ordinance. This will all take from six weeks to two’ months. A There is need for prompt action by the zoning board and city council. A con- | siderable volume of residential construc- | tion is being held up pending adoption of the ordinance, for the prospective build- | ers want to be sure their properties will be | protected against depreciation due to | nearby objectionable construction. The new work that will go forward after the ordinance is law will give employment to many of our idle citizens and stimulate All in all, the zoning ordinance is a required step toward prosperity. | | | SS | FLAWS IN THE LAWS rota tee ae | Scuthern states continue their objec- | tions to standardized wages and hours, be- | cause those States produce more cheaply | than the North—on account of climatic advantages. There are many complaints, mostly from the South, about inequalities of rail- read rates. The claim is that some _ sec- tions of the country can be served by the railroads cheaper than other parts. These are visible flaws in the above laws. There is a growing demand in favor or patching-up the punctures and blow- | outs, in order that collective bargaining | between employers and unions may be-| come workable. The National Labor Relations Ad- ministration has shown a very. unreason- able attitude toward industries and its em- ployers and employes. Nevertheless, noth- ing more than plain commonsense changes are needed in that Administration to make the law a valuable agency of the Govern- ment. Undoubtedly some of the members of | the Labor Board should be relieved from office, and replaced by able and _fair- minded men who would hold the Board | down: to its practical and obvious, duties— which are mostly of a judicial nature. At present the Board is its own de- tective, its own investigator—and a very | The Wage-Hour Act is the most re- cent piece of legislation that has to do -with matters referred to in this summary of conditions. Already it has its second Administrater. Some amendments are needed to make the Wage-Hour law more effective and useful. It is beginning to become an accepted | principle that property is to be considered not in terms of profit but in. terms of pro- ductivity. recently said at a press conference: | “Crusaders get people ail excited one moment and leave them emotionally ex. hausted the next.” Boys and girls will never meet the full expectation of adults but, then, adults ore no perfect marks in the opinions of | boys and girls. jservice at the First thine REY WEST CITIZEN POCOCEOOOSOOODECLSESSHOOOSODOOLEOOOORS “THE CHURCH OF THE FLAMING C There is cause for community satis- | saheuarettontonnnesaiptanptmme mets! <6e2 FIRST METHODIST (STONE) CHURCH (One block from Post Office) Invites you to worship tomorrow is the|Great Refusal”. subject selected by the Rev.

Beset by the eager crowds and} desiring some privacy with hisj disciples, Jesus commanded that | they get 2 boat and row across the Sea of Galilee. There they were met by a scribe, who de- clared that he was willing to fol- | low Jesus “whithersoever thou goest”.

Following this, while making janother crossing over the Sea of Galilee, a sudden storm came up while Jesus was resting. The dis- ciples became very fearful lest they all be drowned and, finally awoke him. Rebuking them for their lack of faith in the care of God, Jesus showed his authority jover the forces of nature—at his word the wind calmed and the waters became still—another evi- idence of the miracuious power of }the Son of God. As our Golden Text says, “Je- sus of Nazareth. . .went about pa good”. What can we do? F. W. Farrar answers: “We cannot all do as Christ did in the brief jyears of his ministry—‘go about doing good’—but we can all live as he lived for the first thirty years of quiet, holy, strenuous duty, deliberately striving each day to abstain from evil, in order, jas far as in us lies, in his name, and for his sake, to assuage the sorrows cf the world”. ‘AT SUNSET’, SUNDAY SUBJECT OF REV. LILLY Both morning and evening j services at Fleming Street Metho- dist Church wlil be conducted by Rev. Jim Lilly tomorrow and ap- | propriate music has been ar- ‘ranged. The text in the morning is: “I Go With Thee”. “This was a remark made by one fisherman to another”, Rev. Lilly says, “with far-reaching results. It deals with the correct decision of any- one person”. In the evening, the subject | will be “At Sunset”. “The close | of the day meant success or fail- {ure”, the pastor states in refer- ence to the subject. “It was es- pecially so in the days of Jesus as he walked the earth in the flesh. When the sun went down |with a flaming ray and left Him hanging on a cross, weakness had become power and glory”.
