There will probably be a hot time in the old town tonight. Yours, THE ORACLE Mr. and Mrs. Key West All Around The Town eee | MISTAKES WILL HAPPEN In the hustle and bustle to get a daily newspaper to- gether it is inevitable that occasional errors creep in, regardless of the vigilance! of careful editors and the alertness of -proof readers and makeup. men. On Saturday, for ex- ample, The Citizen carried a short pargaraph to the effect that Mr. and Mrs. Alee R. Welkoft, proprie- tors of the Post Office Inn, would leave Key West in a few days, whereas it should have read that they would leave Cleveland, Ohio, in a few days on their return trip to Key West. When Mr. and Mrs. Wol- koff went to Cleveland they had The Citizen follow them, as all good Key West- ers should, and they wrote us a letter saying to cease sending it there, as they were leaving Cleveland in a few days.

As The Citi- zen qeutee out here not long ago, the damage done by a single open garbage can will easily offset all the good that is accomplished Apparently the polio epi- demic has all but passed, for only a couple of cases have been reported within the past three weeks or so. But polio.is not the only danger. ic is capable of springing full-blown from an uncover- ed garbage can. For the most part, it is the job of housewives to look after this important health angle, but we urge everyone | to lend a hand. In particular we urge the proprietors of restaurants, hetels and other public eating places in Key West to take the utmost care with their garbage. What the average school | child wants is fewer hours for study and more hours | for vacation. That’s along} age. 500-MILE THRUWAY The State of New York is now constructing a 486-mile thruway to carry pleasure and commercial traffic from | New York City to Lake Erie | without a single traffic light or grade intersection. The new highway will have six lanes, with oppos- ing traffic separated by a land-seaped mall and the, road will be constructed to give drivers a clear visibility of 1,000 feet ahead at all times. Tt will be completed within five years and will be operated without toll charges to travelers. One of the improvements. in the highway will be pro- vision for vehicles to enter and leave by accelerating lanes, connected with exter- ior thorough-fares on an average of every four miles.
