Community Auditorium. Pepe MONOGRAPH To The City Commission, Key West, Florida. Gentlemen: Why not save some of the taxpayers’ money and instead of the entire com- mission going on the junket to- Havana, have Mayor W. W. Demeritt. who speaks Spanish fluently, make the trip with the Noy Scouts? That seems to be sufficient proval of the majority of the taxpayers of Key West. Be wise, economize! ‘THE ORACLE. EMPLOYMENT MIRACLE The number of civilians employed in * the UnitedpStates in June was this ix the highest employment ever reached in the history of this country, ' surpassing even the war years. It does not include 1,398,000 Americans in the armed forces. If these are added, the total num- ber working for “pay or profit’? was 61,- 153,000, : This is an interesting fact, especially when we consider the discussion in 1946 number of jobs that would be available after the war. Presi- dent Roosevelt insisted upon full employ- mént and said that this meant 60,000,000 poet-war jobs. This view was vigorously challenged, with some experts calling it an unveasonably High level and asserting hat no more than 58,000,000 and possibly only 100,000 persons would want to work in peace-time. It was suggested, in 1945, that Presi- tent Truman, who had taken office, would dmve to take steps to create 5,000,000 jobs if he expected to reach the 60,000;000 job In addition, the Secretary of Com- », Henry A. Wallace, suggested that © wovernment should take prompt action whenever the number of available jobs fell below 57,000,000. As usual, Mr. Wal- lace was denounced as a visionary, as im- practical and something of a radical. The estimte of many business men and economists was that the total number of jobs, available in the immediate years af- ter the war, would be 54,760,000 and this figure included an estimated 2,500,- 00 men expected to be employed in the armed forces, The employment of more than 60,000,- 000 persons in the month of June indicates that governments, like People, sometimes SCOTT ERE eee eee = = worry about imaginary troubles and that = the experts, despite their skill and intelli- e serce, make mistakes. . : ee .

You are not concerned in the least by the type of weather each succeeding day brings? If you answer those questions con- scientiously in the affirmative, then you are a fortunate man. Dr. Samuel Johnson said that the weather did not concern’ him, that he took it in his stride, yet, through Boswell, we hear him complaining about an abnormal- ly cool summer in England. He yearned for sunshine, but day after day gave him chilly’ rainfall. _ So it is that residents of Key West have been complaining recently about the al- most daily showers.-While it is true that the complaints in most instances are based. on‘the rainy weather interfering with bus!- ness-or pleasure, yet human nature is such that it tires of too much “weather” of the same type. i We have heard complaints about long summer days, without a fleck of cloud in the sky, when they occur continuously for several weeks, and now we are wishing that the rain would let up for awhile. We may wish but, as Mark Twain remarked, nobody can do anything about the weather. You may be one of many Key Westers who wish for summer when we get too many successive chilly days, and wish for the. chilly days when we get too many successive warm days. We yearn for win- ter when summer becomes too warm, and we yearn for summer when winter be- comes too chilly. That attitude in Key West is not as pro- nounced as it is in those parts of the coun- try that have long stretches of cold weath- er. People. there look forward to the com- ing of summer, but their'ardor for it dies when the mercury mounts to 100 degrees or so, something that does not occur in Key West. Our range of temperature is the most equitable in the United States. The idea that an individual has to say something is the cause of many foolish as- sertions. FOR IMPROVED TEACHING Leading educators are beginning to give attention to methods to improve teaching in public schools and to persuade a high quality of young people to. take up teaching as a profession. : ‘a At a recent meeting. held at Miami University, in Ohio, there was general recognition that salary adjustments, voted in nearly every part of the nation, have presented professional educators with another problem: To build up the quality of teaching to be made available to pupils everywhere. This is undoubtedly an important mat- ter and one which deserves the. closest study of teachers generally. While the public recognizes that the men and women who make up our teaching staffs have been underpaid, and some amends have been made, the average American recog« nizes the imperative need of securing the most intelligent teachers for the propet instruction of their children. What has become of the old-timer who believed that a woman’s place was in the home? WHERE ARE’ THE SAUCERS? Expert scientiests express the belief that the amazing number of reports about “flying dises’” have been based entirely upon visual delusions of some sort. The mysterious flying saucers have dropped somewhat from the news but the fact that hundreds of individuals believe that they saw something in the sky gives us another puzzle. We are quite sure that most of the people who reported flying saucers actual- ly were convinced that they saw something in the atmosphere. How to explain the phenomena is a matter for psychologists, but there was a time when many intelli- gent people “saw” ghosts and witches, eee in a language we do not understand. NOT FOR BEING A COMMUNIST ! The General Secretary of the U. B. Communist Party has been sentenced to one year in jail and fined $1,000, but, it —“ be noted, not for being a Commun- ist. The official was convicted for failure to appear before a. House Committee ih response to a subpoena. The sentence merely gives notice that Communists are j NOt above the law of the land, . “Money talks,” but to many it spéaks i “‘|whom it may THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Key West In Days Gone By | AS TAKEN FROM FILES : s g Tonight members of the Key West Golf Club will hold their monthly banquet in Delmonico, Losers of the matches on the course yesterday afternoon will be hosts of the winners at the dinner.

Today The Citizen says in an editorial paragraph: “Highway fatalities are concerned about the matter.” So Easy! “Now, how would you close your books for the night?” asked the bookkeeping teacher of his business training class. : “Oh, that’s simple,” said the fair co-ed, as, fitting her words to action, she closed them with a bang. iff.
