KEY WEST CITY COMMISSIONERS ARE DOING A GOOD JOB Never, in this country or any other country, have pub- lic officials succeeded in pleasing everybody. To please all is humanly impossible because of the diversified re- actions to almost anything public officials do, With that thought in mind, The Citizen is aware that the City Commissioners have been the butt of much criti- tism, but, all in all, they have done and are doing an ex- cellent job, with the object always in view of helping Key West. Some lashed the Commissioners for buying the local Clyde-Mallory wharf and land, with eight buildings on it, for $150,000. The Citizen knows positively — this is no hearsay or indirect information — that a local business man was ready and anxious to buy the property for that sum if the offer to the city was not consummated. New York owns its wharfs in the East and the Hud- son Rivers; other cities own all or some of its wharfage facilities, but here was Key West, an island city, the city did not own an inch of space on the Main Ship Channel till it bought the Clyde-Mallory property. t. Let us admit it. wietrie’ that the report vana company or the Cuban government, in fegard to funning a ferry, was nothing more than a report, similar to the recurrent announcements made by the Gulf-Atlan- tic Transportation Company concerning the operation of a ferry between Key West and the Cuban capital. What of it? Key West at one time was a great seaport city. If it continues to grow, and The Citizen believes it will con- tinue, the time will come when the shipping here will ex- ceed the volume when the port was at the peak of its ac- tivity. When that time comes, or while it is coming, the city Will be in a position to provide facilities to ships that will operate between Key West and other ports. Two outstanding facts about the purchase should be borne in mind. First, the city does not and will not pay taxes to eat into the income from the property; secondly, the income from the property offsets the expense in its operation. True, the wharf and the buildings on the land must be improved eventually, but the cost of the improve- ment can be deferred till the shipping activity begins, or till the city has contractual assurance it will begin. Those fighting in Korea naturally wonder why fel- Jow citizens at home grumble so much about so little. z.; 3 NSIR, A MAN IS HERE TO SEE YOU A8OUT MODERNAZING. HAL BOYLE SAYS By SAUL PETT (For Hal Boyle) NEW YORK (®--It was a time to be going home slowly, even in Manhattan, : The sinking autumn sun slanted over the top of the RCA building and warmed the steps of St. Pat’s Cathedral. Fifth Avenue shops and offices were emptying, but not with the .ugual 5 o’clock rush. Even the commuters seemed to lose speed and purpose as they came out into the clear, soft light and the thousand gentle colors of a dying fall day. On the corner of Fifth and 50th, a woman in a long green coat and ballet slippers dropped a small bottle. The glass broke and a white, syrupy liquid spread over the sidewalk, “You pushed me,” the woman in green said to a woman in « tan suit. Both to be in their middle or late twenties. Both were neatly dressed and rather plain. ‘The woman in green favored slight- ly heavy makeup, which may have hid a bad complexion. “You pushed me and broke my bottle of lotion,” she said, and she grabbed at the lapels of the other woman. “I don’t know what you're talk- ing about.” | “You broke my bottle and you} don’t even say you're sorry,” the ‘woman in green said. Trying to break free, the second woman dropped her purse and the woman in green kicked it. The woman in tan tried to push her away and suddenly both were push- ing and swinging. “Tt was a 69 cent bottle and/ you’re going to pay for it,” she screamed, By now a crowd had formed a solid ring around the two. Pale and numbed with schock, the woman in tan struggled mutely to get free, “I want a cop!” the woman In green shouted, holding tightly to | the other’s lapels, “Get me a cop!” “Get her a man in a white coat,” someone in the crowd yelled “Must have started with a fight over the same hat,’? someone else said, The crowg laughed uneasily, For a second, for just a second, the woman in green paused, seem- | ing to sense how ridiculous it was. But by now she was the victim of her own terrible momentum, Hav- ing gone this far, she had to go farther, “I want & cop,” she shouted, “I want justice done!™ © It was like one of those’dream$” where you see yourself walking to scream and wave wildly but, as the cop kept talking quietly, she began to subside, Intensity drained out of her and she Jeaned limply against the wall near St. Pat’s. Finally, she nodded to the cop and he released her. He walked east. She walked West. Suddenly, in the shadows of the great cathedral, she stopped and began to cry. She cried cohvul- sively, with her head in her hands, and her whole being shook with a deep despair and anguish all her own, The World Today By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (#—The American Communist party will be in the news awhile in connection with the government’s effort to prove it’s a Russian stooge.

No one Says Women Can Have A Home Career By DOROTHY ROE AP Women’s Editor Any housewife, says Helen Scott of Stamford, Conn., can have a successful business career at home. Because every. woman has one thing she can do better than any- body else. Helen, who is in private life Mrs. Martin P, Schultz, wife of a sales executive, found that she could bake better pies and cakes than anybody she knew, and on that has founded a successful business. She started it several years ago when her husband was convales- cing from a serious and costly operation, After sounding out a number of her friends, Helen started taking week-end orders for jointly by the advertising women of Buffalo and the Women’s Divi- sion of the N. Y. State Department of Commerce, and said: “To you who are interested in perfecting your skills and talents, no matter how burdened you may be with household responsibilities, life can be turned into a joyous victory if only you have the will to make it so.” After starting a successful home- baking business, Helen won more plaudits and also dollars for her book, “Baking for Profit”, and now is embarking on a business of | making and marketing frozen pies. Maybe you've been cherishing a recipe for Aunt Martha’s bread- and-butter pickles, or er’s elderberry jam. Maybe you have a skilled hand with a sewing machine or a pair of knitting needles, Maybe you're a renowned party- giver, or a genius at entertaining children, Perhaps you have a knack of making and designing children’s clothes, or have stumbled on a cosmetic formula which can be made at home, Any of these can be money in the bank, says Helen Scott. All you have to do is ‘perfect them— make them better: than anybody else—and then market them, PATIENT-NURSE TALK MADE EASIER NEW YORK. —(?)— A British hospital has come up with an instruraent which enables the patient to talk. direct to the nurse in her staff duty room. The British Information Service reports here that the system has been installed. in the Catherine de Barnes Maternity Hospital, Sollinhull, Manchester. In the staff duty room is a loud: master unit which speaker-microphone unit enough to go under the pillow without causing discomfort. When the patient presses a button a low tone is heard indicating that to the office. Simultaneously the appropriate light glows on the master unit panel. A single key switch enables the nurse to talk to the patient.
