Observation: You can never tell, from the way a woman smiles at you, just what she is thinking of you. The Bible still outsells any book pub- lished and, whether you believe it or not, it is still being read by many people. In the past two weeks two outstand- ing men in their respective countries died from brain concussion as the result of a fall—U. S. Senator Borah and Lord Tweedsmuir, governor general of Canada. Elderly men, though well balanced men- ial'y, have also to watch their physical balance, particularly age advances. Of course we know that our country is growing. In 1933 there were 563 thou- sands employees on the Government pay- | rol] and now there are 933 thousand. There | is nothing in all the political disputes that | shows more clearly than the above figures the extent to which the Government of the United States is being centralized under Administration control at the National Capital. | AN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY | The naval expansion program in Key | | West is developing steadily. Contracts for | | the seaplane base on Trumbo island sec- | tion, an addition to the naval station dis- | pensary and other jobs are soon to be let. | Within a short time a dozen or more naval vessels will be based ‘here, which means | | they will be kept in repair, supplied and | refueled here. Along with the expansion program has come a large number of naval officers |and men. Great majority of them are | single and reside in bachelor quarters | ashore or find berths aboard the ships on | which they serve. | number is married. The wives and fami- | lies of the men of the navy either have fol- ; lowed them here, or would come here to | live if they could. | The reason more wives and families of | the men of the navy have not come to Key | | West is a shortage of housing facilities. | | Higher ranking officers have found homes for th-ir families in tl.» city, but they were | able to meet the rental rates which winter | visitors have been paying for years. In | general, the service families were unable to find sufficient space for their needs either because they could not meet tourist | competition for the same quarters, or be- | cause there just were not enough houses, apartments and flats to go around in the lower rental brackets. One of the most urgent needs in Key | | West at this time is more adequate housing | facilities. What seems to be needed by the majority of the men of the navy are | small, modern-equipped and compact | houses that can be rented by them at from | $20 to $50 a month. Even after the win- | ter visitors leave this spring theré will not be enough of such homes to supply the de- | mand, in the opinion of naval officers. Supplying such homes should prove an excellent opportunity for profitable in- vestmeni. The proposed U. S. low-rental housing project is designed for families in low income brackets. The project will give decent living quarters to a number of families now living in sub-standard houses, the majority of them relics of a day when plumbing, refrigeration and comforts were regarded as unnecessary luxuries. So those old homes soon to be abandoned will not fill the naval demand. A must on the Key West civic better- ment program should be an effort to sup- ply these navy officers and men with good homes for their wives and families. COMMUNITY SUICIDE One of the strangest phenomena wit- | nessed in most towns and small cities is the | apparent eagerness with which many otherwise good citizens contribute to the tendency to commit community suicide. These citizens will often show uncom- mon zeal in boosting any movement to ob- tain city improvements, to ‘promote the lo- cation of new industries, to secure better | | educational facilities, and so on. Yet | many of these same proud boosters | deliberately engage in a_ practice | nullifies all their otherwise which However, a substantial | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN saa = rwur«s > Slit _ 2 Osa re . oe -_ ‘LEY MEMORIAL.

NEWS FROM GERMANY “Ninety per cent of the Germans are cpposed to the present war,” declares Os- weld Garrison Villard, a_ well-known | liberal writer who has recently returned to this country after a visit to Germany. Mr, Villard also maintains that “75 per-cent are opposed to the dictatorship, although this does not mean opposition to | Hitler himself, since many Germans find different things to admire him for.” He says one cannot overestimate the | ability and determination of the men who now run Germany and says that the mili- | tarists talk of 30,000 airplanes and 400 submarines by July 15, 1940, when the end ‘of the British empire is predicted.
