The Citizen was glad to see the Serv- ice Club action taken on the subject of ex- cess street noises being committed in the vicinity of churches of the city on Sun- days. The method taken in alleviation | Was quite proper, a letter of complaint to Mayor Albury—and it should be produc- tive of results. ° SS The subject, however, brings to mind « a condition that has long rankled in the minds of many Key Westers. And that is, the excessive noi mostly at night, that are allowed-to ue forth at the city’s main corner and on the property along- ‘side of the La Concha hotel. We are told that that hotel has writ- ten letters of complaint time after time about noisy conditions in front of its estab- lishment at all hours of the night, address- ed to the mayor and the city council. Not | only that, we have talked personally with publish anonymous communt- | any number of residents at the hotel dur- ing the past months on the same subject. Others in the same district have com- that issue Park at late hours—oftentimes carried on way beyond the midnight hour. Members de- cried these noises, and rightfully so. It appears, then, high time that the police department, supported by decree of the mayor ani the city council, do some- thing constructive about this condition. There is no good reason why this section of the ¢ has to abound with a great variety of noises at late hours and the remedy, as usual, is effective control on the part of the police. It has been said that the condition is uncontrollable, to a great extent. The Citi- zen does not believe that statement. It’s of enforcement. Why can’t we have it? When a bad condition continues to exist for too long a time, despite all that law-abiding citizens can do about it, the time comes when those citizens have a per- On this ive night noises, The Citi- zen believes that “the time has come”. 30,000,000 STUDENTS RESUME WORK As the schools of the United States begin another year’s work,-it is well for Americans to take pride in the spectacle which cannot be duplicated upon the face of the earth. In this country some thirty million children will begin or continue their educa- tion. It will cost the nation more than $2,- 500,000,000 to provide educational facili- ties for its future citizens. More than one million men and women are employed as in. the public and_ private schocls of the nation. While naturally proud of the educa- | tional system of this democracy, Americans should never forget that the processes of education, like other processes, are con- stantly subject to change and _ improve- ment. While we should not be too quick to accept the fads which are introduced by so-called experts, we should not close our minds to the possibility of increasing the efficiency of our school system. In Key West hundreds have resumed their studies. ing to schoolhouses to be their adults. The courses they take repre- judgment of their elders. It is gratifying to learn that, more and more, the grown-ups are considering the problems of the child-mind and attempt- ing to make the educational system fit the needs of the pupil in order to develop boys and girls into substantial citizens of this democracy. They are go- NOT MANAGED BY THE NAZIS C. J. Hambro, President of the Nor- wegian Parliament, now in Washington, points out that Norway’s economic life is not managed by the Nazis.

FLORIDA CONSUMES LOT OF ELECTRICITY (Special to The Citizen) JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 11.— loridians consumed almost 94,- 000,000 kilowatt-hours of elec- , tricity for their living, industrial and power requirements during, the month of July, the Elorida ! State Chamber of Commerce reported today. Total generation within the ‘state, as reported to the Federal Power Commission, Washington, D. C., was 90,461,000. KWH, with an additional 7,521,000 KWH be- ing imported from other states. Exports of 4,143,000 KWH, to sis- ter-states, resulted in a total con- -umption figure of 93,839,000 KWH for Florida. Production for the Year-Round State was divided 3,330,000 KWH by water power, 87,131,000 by fuel and none by coal.

But in Henry Shuler’s case, folks down Possum King- dom way say he just naturally has inventive genius. i Neighbors figure Henry’s false ; teeth are just about the most in- genious yet perceived. Henry needed a whole upper plate and couldn't see his way clear to pay the dentist. Hy So he got a block of sourwood and whittled it down to where it would fit into his mouth. He still needed teeth. Mrs. Shuler had a few pearl buttons, and the first thing you: know Henry had carved seven of the prettiest pearl button teeth you ever saw. Feature Service) He cut grooves in the sour- wood plate for the teeth to fit into, and drove pins through the remaining eye in each button to hold them in place. That would have been enough for most people, but not for Henry. His lower jaw didn't have “a thing to work against.” He went to work again. When he got through with his lower plate, there were seven pearl button teeth in the middle, and on each end, where the heavy duty chewing comes, there was a very adequate thick tpoth made out of a hog bone. Several dentists have offered Henry a whole set of store- bought teeth for his home-made ones. U. S. WEATHER Observation taken at 7:30 a. m..} 75th Mer.
