TAGS AND STREETS So many remarks similar to the one | quoted in the following paragraph have been overheard by The Citizen during the past two months, that it appears advisable to bring the subject up for discussion to review all facts in the matter. oN ! I’m not going to pay this Auto Tag License for my car—the | streets being in the condition they are!” In that these licenses are due tomor- row and being convinced that at least some of those who so expressed themselves were sincere, the City of Key West may find some trying days ahead when the issue is | brought up to a showdown. stage. The Citizen, then, contributes its bit to offset this false opinion. In the first place, should too many auto drivers decide not to pay their licenses, the city certainly couldn’t func- tion at all, let alone transfer funds to the Board of Public Works for street repair projects. In the second place, there is no rela- tion at all between Auto Tag License fees and the condition of the city’s. streets. These fees go into the general revenue ac- counts of the city along with occupational license funds to be applied towards -ad- ministrative expenses. The Board of Pub- lic Works, true enough, receives its money from the city government, but those funds are appropriated each year in the budget. The Board’s main duty, at least for the present, is to take care of street repairs. The tax strike condition being such as it is in Key West, there is certainly no ; reason whatsoever for citizens to load another care on the shoulders of the coun- cilmen, who, by recert action, have shown No, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN © THE ORIGINAL HARRIET BEECHER STOWE : (OARIN AS 17 LOOKED COTTAGE AT OURING OCCUPANCY OF FAO ~\ YOM Segre are OF FLORIDAS OUTSTANOING CHARM SPOTS 1S THAT OF THE OLD HAMQUET BEECHER STOWE ESTATE AT OF ADMIRERS WHO MARVEL SS WHO KNOWS?

There is a National Committee of Democrats-for-Willkie, whose membership is bound to support the Republican Presi- dential ticket, but permits it to support the state and local Democratic tickets. This ttee and its membership is focusing rts exclusively on the national can- ‘didates who are against the New Deal ctors and in favor of Mr. Willkie, whom ey regard as the true Democratic candi- date for the Presidency. In the coming conscription of men for giilitary service.there will be not many loopholes to escape as the rigid require- ments of the Re: iar Army regulations will not apply. Almost all conscripts will pass muster with the possible exception of the “irremediably” crippled and the blind. Not even “extreme ugliness”, which is ause for rejection in the Regular Army, will make the conscript inelligible. Fur- rmore, additional comparison between he two regulations reveal that a minimum weight of 120 pounds and a minimum height of 64 inches are required for the Regular Army recruits, while conscripts need only weigh 107 pounds and stand 60 inches high. | tas Let’s have no delinquents the condition. As we all know now, the Board of Public Works was granted a considerable increase in the new budget adopted last week. A good-sized chunk of that in- crease will be used on the streets. Even | now, a start is being made on the most | needful of projects locally with funds pro- vided by extra-ordinary action of the coun- cil ten days ago. Civic-minded citizens will see the reasonableness of this plea to pay Auto Tag License fees, and The Citizen believes thet, thoughtfully considered, they will pay them all the faster to allow the city | government to remain as solvent as it is pos- sible to be with the tremendous burden be- ing placed upon it by reason of other 2s that have fallen so desperately be- hind. The line forms to the right, folks. in the auto license department. The’ streets will be repaired, never fear. PRAISES GOVERNMENT WORKERS time who The country has been regaled, ard again, by leading industrialists have asserted that the government can’t do anything efficiently and that, if any- thing is done, the boys or big business will have to do it. Well, the other day, K. T. Keller, president of the Chrysler Corporation, visited the Rock Island, Ill., arsenal. He “gave high praise to the Army _ tech- nicians’ who designed the medium tank that he is to build for the Army, and said “he wished his corporation might have the crew which he found at the arsenal.” This is high praise for government workers, who seldom come in for anything except condemnation and criticism. Mr. Keller also told how he took home 186 pounds of blueprints, prepared by the Army, how his men made “each piece of the tank cut of wood in our pattern shop” and “then put the whole tank together without scratching a bit of paint.” He termed this a “tribute to the splendid de- sign work of the Army men who laid out this extraordinary vehicle, which has in it everything from a locomotive to a Swiss watch.” LIBERTY A LA HITLER A worker in the Netherlands is re- ported to have expressed preference for the word of Queen Wilhelmina as against that of a former German paperhanger. He was tried in a German court, now sitting in the Netherlands, and: sentenced to a year and a half in prison. If anybody in the United States has an idea that the world can retain liberty. under the regime of Hitler, the incident in the Netherlands ought to give them | another idea, Out of 16,500,000 men to register, how many will be avail- able for immediate service? 3.

You can do a lot to make liv- ing more comfortable and pleas- ant for the people you know by using plain common sense. That goes for things like turn- ing out lights when you're the on in a room. Singing In The Shower Don’t let doors bang behind If you make a habit of clos- a door quietly, you're being iderate of others. Do your bathtub singing when your sister isn’t trying to dress for her date. You'll profit from the coopera- tion. You'll be developing a hab- it of doing for the other person what you expect him to do for you. Even if you're the only boy in the family, don’t expect everyone else to be your servant.

Learning to hang your pants so they won't wrinkle will keep you looking more up-to-the-minute and save some pressing and clean- ing. bills, too.
