With rural electricity’ available;/as proposed by ®41 the Monroe County Commission, in coope-'}: ration with the REA, aii incentive would be given to making developments that, in | a few years, will increase the , population many times in the lower Keys. ” Use of electricity, inva hundred dif- | ferent ways, had become an essential con- venience to modern living long before the turn of the century. However, since that turn, production of electricity,in the Unit- ed States has multiplied by several thou- sand percent, And it is-stil} on the uptrend | and will continue to increase for many de- cades to come, So eke . The commission, has has appointed | Ro |-C. Sawyer, Jr., and-Henry-Hudgins. to ob..| tain the requirementts ‘specified by thé: Rural Electrification Administration. They ] declare they feel confident they will have little difficulty in attaining their aim. It should be an easy matter, as they point out, to get at least an average of three users of electricity to every mile in the 4 lower Keys, as required by the REA. Mr. Hudgins added that he _ believes | 4 the electrification. of the route will bring Key West is not. your neighbor 4 it is your own and you must do} your part in perfecting it as a good place ior human beings. $ THE ORACLE RECOGNIZING RELIGION + Phe first official recognition. of the ‘: Beir yin the proceedings of occurred the other day” flecided, by a’ arty ot Aten wal ches its de-| ® with a minute of silence devot-| ‘ and meditation. 4 _ its meetings, the United Na- tions to make a gesture to the’ religions of the world because of the dif- i orn with the conventional, As & result, there was a flood of pro- ‘ats from persons throughout the world insisted that the organization should » take cognizance of man’s religious _heri- we We think it quite fittting for the Unit- te render an obeisance to the power that moves the Universe.

The Club is 41 years old and it bas the largest membership of any Press Giub in the World, It is the richest Press Clb in the World. The Washington Cor- wespondent for the paper you are reading ‘Wis been an active member of this great * Club since 1914. The new building was ss in 1926 and President Galvin = ige laid the cornerstone for the build- & ing. There is nowhere in the World a finer and more responsible body of men than the ~RRilip of newspaper correspondents who make up the membership of this great Club. ak Fe plan too heavily ” ly upon any- «tiling happening, especially if the plan in- Yolyes another person. about a land boom. Monroe Coutty does not want a land boom. It, in common with | every other county in Florida, has not yet fully recovered from the 1925 real estate boom and its resultant crash. So-called subdivions on the Upper, as well .as__ the | lower Keys, never got any further than the 4 blueprint stage. Most of them became tax delinquent and were sold, thousands of them, by Ross C. Sawyer during the time he was clerk of Monroe County. Carlos Perez, of Bogota, Colombia, visiting in Key West, pointed out, in an in- terview in The Citizen, the type’ of . im- provement of the lower Keys,as' a result of electrification, we have in mind: gener- al development and construction of var- ious types of building. Those improve- ments will redound to the progress of Mon- roe county. Buying land, merely to resell it at a profit, eventually works to the detri-- ment of any locality. The Citizen advocates. sound develop- ments on the Keys, upper as well as lower. Such developments will result in the found- ing of villages, which will grow into small cities. That time will come in a few years. possibly ten, or let us say twenty, for mil- lions of people in the United States have come to know in the last three or four years that the Florida Keys comprise the only frost-free land in the United States; that the Florida Keys are rich in the capa- city to provide wholesome recreations throughout the year. Watch the Keys grow. WHAT IS CONSERVATION? A high school boy in a small town’ in Virginia won the first prize in a: contest among grade school students in a group of schools. “Conservation is the use of all nat- ural resources’in such a way as to benefit as many persons as possible,” he explained, adding: “The proper use of resources is al- ways a basic part of the conservation pro- gram. Conservation is a complex problem with many interrelated parts, and means different things to different people, “Conservation movements, are results of scientific developments and -the desire to prevent waste and make the most of na- ture's gifts. It is an attempt to prevent de- struction and exploitation and.to conserve for the bad years. Itz-has much to do With mah’s existence.” - LITTLE END OF THE HOLE There is: no econontic’ cooperation til- ing World affairs—and we might just as well make up our minds that the Russians are blocking World peace and that our ex- Pensive Marshall Plan shows.that the bil- lions of dollars of revenue with which we have backed it have given poor results. Even the British Nation is pulling |. Uncle Sam’s leg for its own particular uses and purposes—and the U. S.

Good Answer The professor of ¢hemistry was giving a demonstration of the properties of various: acids. “Now,” he,.said, “I am going to drop this fifty-cent piece into this glass of ‘acid, Will it dis- solve?” “No, sir,”, replied one of the students. 2 “No?” said the edmonstrator. “Then perhaps you will explain to the class why it won't dis- solve.” “Because,” came the answer, ieee would you. wouldn’t drop NEW TROOP AND CARGO TRANSPORT OF AIR FORCE Your Horoscope SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, | 1949—Today seems to indicate a schemer who will look out for his end of the bargain.” He is apt to be too headstrong to be: entirely successful; but there is an ele- ment of bravery and personal honor that commands the respect even of his enemies.
