IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN ¢ City Pian (Zoning). Apartments, County and City Gov- ment Modern City Hospital A hobby is a good thing unless you ake a business of it. When you begin to please everybody, it’s time for you to examine yourself. Tyranny is often a man or a group of men yielding to the lust of governing. Too often, nothing is so firmly be- lieved in as what we know least about. Man’s greatest vanity is his belief that he has less vanity in him than woman. People who talk to themselves have attentive audiences, and quiescent ones. Sbeeches are made for two purposes —to tell the truth and to hide the truth. Art is not to authors but few would write if they were not paid. be denied , It is.e, to pass a law, but it is usually difficult to find out what it means. Have you noticed that the things you dread to do always take double the time to do? civilization; the the less security This is a frustrated more progress it makes, it has. It is not wise to fool too much with schemes; hard work pays better divi- dends, New ideas are more readily accepted if they do not conflict with our precon- ceived notions. It is probably a good thing after all that some people can’t see themselves as others see them. Even after they are declared matrimonial bords sometimes yield dends in the way of alimony. void, divi- do not across There are many things we know but; occasionally, we run something that we understand.

It is argued that the navy ¥ igeay Jarge supply offresh* water for $e, aval station and the naval seaplane oars: } that the construction program cou’ be pushed through with neatness and _ dis- patch ‘by the navy department and that | this will provide a water service here | guicker than through giving federal funds to the Florida Keys Aqueduct Commis- : sion. Another phase of the plan there is precedent for the navy selling water to private consumers provided the | service is net in competition with any other water supply agency. In the people of Key West do not care by what means a water sup- | is brought here. They are not con- | cerned with whether the water is supplied by the Florida Keys Aqueduct Commis- the United States Navy or Bill Jones, | What they want'is an ample sup- fresh’ water, so that strangers, un- aware of the purity and quality of the rain may encouraged to come here and build their homes, apart- | ments ard business establishments. Under the proposed navy supply plan, Key West seems assured of a water sup- ply. But would the plan assure the Flor- . Keys an adequate supply? That ques- tion is being asked by some of those who | have been aiding the Florida Keys Aque- | duct Commission to get federal funds for | supplying all the keys. Key West needs a back country to | augment its tourist business and the busi- | involved in catering to the , marine corps and coast guard ra is that general, ply sion, | Inc. ply of water we, drink, be army, A back country can be provided by giving the thirsty keys:fresh water, ' electricity and better transportation, as The Citizen has repeatedly pointed out. ' Although The Citizen believes the plan to permit navy construction of a water system has a lot of merit so far as | | the citizens of Key West are concerned, we also believe that it would be. sensible for the aqueduct commission and our civic interests to make certain that the keys also | will be supplied with water. SCANDINAVIA FEARS GERMANY There were 100,000 French and British soldiers ready to sail for the relief of Finland long before the Finns signed the enforced peace terms, declares the British Prime Minister, Neville Chamber- lain. Why were the troops withheld? Be- avs Mr. Chamberlain, the fear of Germany in Scandinavia is so great that Norwegians and Swedes ssion for the pas- under the League of Na- tions, but the Finns were afraid even to ask the in cause, not only were rear as the Russians attacked \ Poland the last stages of the German campaign.

ELECTRICITY IN YOUR BRAIN Science is always developing theories new things. The other day | the Federated Societies heard that there is a kind of electrical brain activity, pro- duced by cells which build up an electrical charge and ther flash miniabure lightning belts to adjoining cells. - We won't pursue the discovery much further at this time but the idea is worth watching. Maybe, in the years to come, a student, failing in his classes, will be able to go to a service station and get a supply of electricity that will set his brain to thinking. Without reference to any persons in this neighborhood we can imagine that there are many individuals who need some sort of miniature lightning in their heads. The only way they can be made to hink is for somebody to make it as easy | ond telling us to do as it is to sit down and rest. i vi workin’ print.
