Thus, forthe y, this city has sewers. half of one of The Citizen’s plat- i vements needed in Key is apparently fulfilled—that which s for water and sewers. When the aqueduct line from the mainland arrives, it would be correct policy to diseontinue that improvement from the list adjoining this column. Such, however, could not be the case, in the opinion cf this writer, and for this reason: The City of Key West has a sewer to date, only two properties have connected their sanitation equipment to the main lines. We have the facilities to ‘ bring our sewage disposal problems up to date—but no-one is using the system. Of course it is only fair to state that there has been too little time between the inauguration of service and now to enable great number of property owners to the necessary. How- ever, in view of the long battle to gain this needed improvement, it appears to The i n that there should have been many, many more applicants paying connection fees into the city. Therefor—it doesn’t seem feasible to consider that the sewer lem is solved. Until such a time as a majority of owners in the district served by plant No. 2 have connected up to the s tem The Citizen will consider that that im- provement for Key West is still on the bcoks to be solved. Council action weeks ago provided the means to bring completion of the proj- ect with ordinances requiring all residents to connect up to main sewer lines within a No announcement of the make connections prot proper “90-days on its three readings. The Citizen believes that the City Council should make formal announce- | ment to all property owners that the 90- day period will start this week. Then steps should be taken to enforce regula- tions outlined in the sewer legislation. A sewer system in working order without any users is just as bad as no sewer Let’s correct this situation with SPENDING AND SAVING The problem of spending and-saving is as ol as civilization, and in scarcely any phase of human conduct do we find great- It is unfortunate that so few are able to strike a happy medium between stinginess and wastefulness. The type of spendthrift inherited money well known, the lazy, shiftless type who lives from hand to mouth in good times or bad. The irdustrious worker who literally throws away his earnings is more rare. An illustration of the latter class and playwright, Edgar Wallace, who was one of the most prolific and suecessful writers of all time. In the 25 years before his death he wrote some 150 full length novels and literally thousands of short stories, besides 20 plays. So many of his works had big sales that his who wastes as is also is | income must have been exceedingly large. He was thcught to be a wealthy man, but at his death his estate was found in- sufficient to pay his debts and his wife was left without. means of support. It seems intelli- gence and tireless energy should have been so short-sighted with respect to his finan- cial affairs. HOW ABOUT YOUR TROUBLES? Last week, in the city of New York, an Italian woman, afraid: that ‘she might become insane, turned on the gas in an ef- fort to take her life. She did not die then buat her six chil- dren, ranging in ages from 12 to 4 years, were dead when their father got. home from work. The mother had intended: for the children to go with her. The poor father, near prostration over the tragedy, almost collapsed: at the funeral, as he told each of his children good-bye. Compared to his sorrow, what of the future of Italy, his ‘native land, engaged in war? Compared.to his grief, what of your troubles that you think are real? THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ~ Tomato. Salad —Vital. and Versatile T YOPR next summer supper, serve a salad to match your hospitality. Lustre, color and zest are some of the required ingredi- ents and jellied tomato salads have all of them. To begin with; tomato jelly has. a wardrobe that any woman would envy—a new and stylish dress for every occasion. And it is vital-in flavor as well as versatile in ap- pearance, which is the reason it wins the applatse of the men folks too. Served in a large ring mold with its center filled with potato or} chicken salad, it will be the crown- ing glory of any buffet. Or. turning the tables, it can be stuffed into green pepper halves and deliciously | presented with accompanying cheese bails. Made in small molds, tomato jelly becomes one of the tastiest of garnishes for platters of cold meats. If you choose, you can vary it by adding celery, almonds and diced chicken. If you have a taste for sea food, flaked crab, tuna or shrimp make a delicious salad that is cool in both taste and appearance. The fact that this basic recipe can be made up into two different salads at once means time-saving for the head chef of small families. Halve the recipe and fold different ingredients into each. Then tuck them away in the refrigerator and salads for two day’s meals can be forgotten until ready to be served. The plain unflavored gelatine with which they are made will preserve all the tang of the tomatoes as well. as giving them a sparkling appear- ance to match the taste. THE ENGLISH SURNAME “Drinkwater” is believed origin- ally to have been a term of de- rision for one who, unlike neighbors, had no great desire or- liking for wine and beer. A WISE HINDU SAGE, when a young man told him that he had become an atheist, congratu- lated him. And on the youth ex- pressing his astonishment that a of Ged should congratulate him on becoming an atheist, the sage replied: “Your becoming an atheist shows that you have be- gun to think. Go on thinking”. ELECTIONEERING CHURCH—There Old England when a clergyman ran for appointment decided. by popular election. The following manifesto by one is a gem in its cla: “I appeal with the utmost confidence for the full support of the Irish and Roman Catho- ‘lies, beeause I am+a son of the Emerald Isle; to’ Foreigners, be cause they love Itelind; to Hign Church, Low Church, and Broad Church, because I am tolerant:-to all parties; to Nonconformists, because, as I once stated, they are ‘the salt of the earth and the light of the world’; to Jews, be- cause my love for the Children of Promise is well known; to Atheists, because they have oft- en heard me telling them of the Author of Nature in its endless beauties;. . .and feel sure that:the whole electorate will vote for me and do themselves honor. . .” IN THE was a time in A DICTATOR CAN DO NO WRONG — Following Trotsky’s defeat and exile, Stalin conceiv- ed the idea of building up pres- tige by kindling the fires of re- volt in China. It ‘was a dismal failure, thé only result*being that several hundred poor - Chinese; who were incited to it] went to their death. Any other ‘political ruler wouldhave réele@ under the blow. But all‘ Stalin‘had to do was to suppress thé news and color the real facts with a story telling what good he had accom- plished—the papers printed his version of it-and all was well. THE PIPE: OF PEACE—Long, long ago the Indians believed that the svirit of their all-pow- erful: god Manitou lay concealed in the rising clouds of smoke, and from this belief is said to have sprung the entire system of re- i ligious and ~ politieal rites and usages of the American Indian, j which found their» highest ex- | pression-in the pipe of peace and ‘war, the sacred calumet, made of: his ~ Here is the basic recipe and some suggested variations.
