There are other and more pleasant subjects usually open for discussion in Key West, but now sewage collection and disposal are attracting some favorable comment from our city and civic leaders, This has been causéd by the an- nouncement by the Board of Public Works that it is laying plans to begin . operation | of one of the city’s two sewage disposal plants within the next few weeks and to start work on a sewer connection project. Those announcements are good news to our entire community. While in general the disposal of sewage has been satisfac- tory, there have been a number of excep- tions. These have caused some of us not In some sections the sanitary conditions have been such as to arouse serious complaints | and firm demands for some official action. Now that the disposal system is to be put in operation, there will be no fur- ther cause for complaint. Under the health and sanitary laws of the city and state every property owner can be com- pelled to connect with the system. Cess- pools and outdoor privies should become a thirg of the past in Key West. Property owners should take notice of this latest development in'the effort to make Key West a better city.

An expert diver says a blow on a shark’s dorsal fin will put it to ‘flight. | Which may be true for all ‘we'll ‘ever know. St. Henry is the apostle saint of Fin- land and, according to tradition, he was an Englishman, and like an Englishman he was too late to help the Finns. Hitler and his underlings never seem | to tire of telling the world how wonderful the German war machine is and how ter- rific the unleAshing of their dogs of war once unleashed. ‘ Girls’ waists are larger today than in 1860, paragraphs L. P. Artman in The Key West Citizen. That man’s older than we thought, or he’s seen “Gone With the Wind.”’—Times-Union.

Federal Government Expenditures for | all purposes in the 10 years ending June | 1940, would buy the assets of all U. S. manufacturing corporations and all mines and quarries, and leave about $180 per! each family in the country. England was too late with Czech- | oslovakia, too late with Austria, too late with Poland and now too late with Fin- land. If ever again the United States should be asked for help from England, it will find this ‘sign on our door: “Too late.” A Key resident complains that The Citizen said editorially that Key West tax- payers pay all the taxes of Monroe Coun- ty, nor is the shoe on the other foot as this | taxpayer suggests. What The Citizen did | say was that the “great bulk of expense of opérating the county falls updn the Key West taxpayer.” That statement is fact | and cannot be disptited. While not so in- terided the statement Had a “double -en- | tente” insofar as it referred to the “tax-| payer” bearing the bulk of expense, and the tax dodger enjoying the fruits thereof. Tt ain’t fair. | who s “colors and shades. tion by the time they finish the building connections. Completion of the sewer connections and operation of the disposal plants is an important step in Key West’s reiabilitation. There are some misguided individuals who may resent the coming of modern conveniences, on the theory that what was good for the pioneers is encugh for the present generation, but no city can progress and attract people, trade and favorable comment, unless it has a sewage disposal system. The Citizen is glad that the sewage system, long one of the projects it has ad- vocated and so indicated year afteryear on. its masthead, is about to become a reality. One by one the improvements advocated by The Citizen are being added to the city’s facilities. Now bring on the water project! Then watch this old rock grow! SAYS U. S. GETS BENEFITS Most of the citizens of the States, who have read about the good neighbor policy, and its results in restoring friendly feelings between the United States and the other nations of this hemisphere, j are under the impression that the United States is extending ecorfomic help to Latin America in return for “illusory or prob- lematic compensations.” The quotation is taken from a pre- pared address by Carlos Daxila, former Chilean Ambassador to the United States, s that “nothing could be farther from the truth.” He insists that the bene- fits from the good neighbor policy are re- ciprocal and that if they are analyzed in detail, we would find that “the most fa- | vored party is really the United States.” We do not know whether the Chilean diplomat is correct or not, but we call at- tention to his remarks which present a view which is totally different from the conception of the average American voter. | Can it be possible that the Chilean is right and that the United States will receive as | much from Latin America as it gives? 2,000,000 COLORS AND SHADES? There are many organizations in the United States, devoted to many and varied activities. Every day we learn of new groups devoted to the revelation of some- thing or other. Our newest discovery is that the human eye can distinguish 2,000,000 We might be tempted to name them but dictionaries list only 3.400 words for the 7,000-odd shades 80 | far tabulated. e The above news is relayed to the world by M. Rea Paul, color expert, after a joint meeting of the Inter-Sociéty ‘Color Council, the American Physical Society and the Optical Society of America.
