In elections the voters often vote an un- Mesirable candidate in, so that they can | -vote an equally undesirable incumbent out. it’s been a long time since this column | has said anything about it but that’s no reason why the people of Key West should | negléct the important task of beautifying | our “home town.” Like Oliver Twist, England is asking | for. more.

There is a poster in the magazine | “Portune’ with the laconic legend, ‘‘Am- | erica Open Your Byes.’ That's what Air- | erica should do, instead of blindly follow- ing every move of the Administratian, though the purpose of the poster is to sug- | gest the gpposite, A better suggestion for @ slogan, this writer believes, is, “America Think,” | owners do not appear to be unduly im- | terror throughout the land, | automobile-highway toi] every year. face with another cil deadlines tomorrow, by which time they are supposed to show cause why the city should not remove the debris left by a fire in April. a After successfully getting past a simi- lar deadline two weeks ago, the property pressed by the latest ord@rs.

It must seem to most people, however, that the present system, if this is an example of its workings, is a little drawn out, In chronological order, the BEPERER: | ings up to now look like this: April 20—Fire destroyed the twa | buildings.

LETS SAVE LIVES ON THE ROAD Now that the summer yacation season ig about over and you have escaped death on the highway, it might not be amiss to re- peat again the ald warning that careful driving is what the nation needs if it is to re- duce the horrible cost of. speed on our highways, One hundred Americans a day is too high a price to pay for modern transporta- tion, It is remarkable that the publi¢ is so apathetic to the loss of life and that the in- jured are hardly noticed by the public. If some strange, unknown disease was taking a hundred victims a day in the United se there would be a hysterical reign of Key West, like every other com- munity furnishes its quota of victims of the With the best intentions we continue to permit drunken drivers to operate cars and get off free when apprehended. We like to think that we can violate traffic regulations with- out having to pay the penalty, It is time, however, that we lost this foolish notion.

FIGHT FIRE ON ALL FRONTS A nation-wide ‘program seeking to strengthen national defense through wide adoption of a comprehensiye municipal fire prevention ordinance, has been launched, The suggested ordinance provides for the creation of a bureau of fire preverition in the local fire departments, and gives the bureau authority covering fire prevention in general; the storage and use of explosives | and flammables; the installation and main- tenance of private alarm systems and fire extinguishing equipment; the maintenance and regulation of fire escapes; the means and adequacy of exits from all manner of | buildings in which persons live, work or congregate, and the investigation of. the eauses, origin and circumstances of fires.
