Many a law, on the statute books, is not worth the paper it is written upon. The folks who live on interest rarely worry about the troubles of those who live on wages. After seeing some moving pictures we favor the abolition of block-booking and miass production of movies. No doubt it is desirable to be able to speak several languages, but it isn’t important as being able to think clearly in one. Mrs. B. M.

Among the top-ranking organizations in Kcy West is the Junior Chamber of Com- merce, who will celebrate tonight at an in- stallation-of-officers’ dinner and dance, pausing to reflect on the successful year. | just passed and, no doubt, laying plans for the year to come.

Especially is the | future bright when the makeup of the or- | ganization is considered. The name, as it | implies, has to do with activities of our nung businessmen—young men who are st approaching the time when they will have to take up the burden of civic sponsibility in connection with promoting j re- | worthwhile enterprises that are designed to { push our city forward. Even as the senior Chamber group is made up of business and professional men and women who act constantly to better their businesses and, thereby, the condi- tions in the city—even so, the young busi- nessmen members of the Junior Chamber group gain wide experience in like work, preparatory to taking up the reigns of civic well being when they graduate into the senior ranks. The Jaycees have done a able job in Key West since their organiza- tion a little over two years ago. The type of project handled by this group has been of such a nature, by and large, that many worthwhile jobs would not have been ac- ccmplished if they had not been on hand. That is the general makeup of the Jaycees’ | program many times—equipped to take on | work not wanted nor desirable for other- type groups. One of the most noteworthy projects hendled during the last year was the fish- ing tournament. This event will be an an- nual affair in Key West, and a commend- able achievement for our young business- men. Other projects have had to do with widely diversified aims—such as the “Get- cut-ard-Vote” parade held last year, the Bundle Week which supplied many of the commen¢- | city’s needy folk with clothes, sponsorship | to raise funds to light this city’s White Way, and sponsorship of their own Boy Scout Troop, not to mention many other worthwhile projects. Key West and The Citizen compli- ment the Jaycees on their fine work. May | their banner of civic betterment continue | to wave over our city. VOCATIONAL EDUCATION One of the bottle-necks in this coun- try’s emergency defense program, experts agree, is the time it takes to train the skilled workers needed to man expanded operations in America’s war-related indus- tries. Leaders of vocational educat’en in Florida deserve credit for constructive sug- | gestions in this regard. To speed things up, they proposed the immediate utilization of existing voca- tional training facilities everywhere in a tersive ,instructidn geared to needs. On the working out of such @ plan, news dispatches say. official Washington is now engaged. Our Florida officials—Colin English, state superintendent of public instruction, and Robert D. Dolley, head of trade and industrial education in this state—cannot claim credit for originating the precise draft of the program now under Congres- sional consideration. The U. S. Depart- ment of Education was at work on it when thcy reached Washington. In its present form, the expanded program of vocational education would more than double the output of trained mechanics in this country each year. Some 500,000 are now being trained annually. Under emergency proposals, an additional 750,000 would be made available, Costs would run around $63,000,000. Oddly enough, it takes a crisis like this, sometimes, to wake us up to what is already going on. Did you know that the United States has a billion-dollar vocational training plant already operating? That Florida has going programs in 25 counties, em- bracing 15,000 students? We did not! _ So the bottle-neck isn’t so narrow as it might be. And on the showing of recent events, it may be confidently predicted that Florida will do its part to widen it | still further. | marked the sale at | dock today.
