Our Gity In Color Shown In Magazine The fine color pictures of Key West taken by George Leavens of Key West last spring are featured in a long article in the December issue of Family Circle. Leavens spent a week here last |May shooting every scene he found interesting. Then Wyatt Blas- singame wrote the long article in the magazine now on sale at local chain stores. The pictures show Mrs. Jessie Newton in her Caroline Street house, Mr. Charles Th:mpson at the Caroline Shop, painter Gene Otto with some of his treasured hibiscus, bougainvillea, frangipani and other tropical blooms. The Hemingway house, oldest house, hrimpers, turtle schooners, night life at the Casa Marina, the Officers Club, and Trade Winds are shown. Leavens, who was. interviewed by The Citizen while on the job here, has done many picture stories for Holiday and other maga- 5 | zines which use full color. He has caught the spirit and life of the Island City in his pho- tographs to a much greater de- gree than has the text. The latter is more or less a chronological | story of a trip from Miami through | endless Keys down to Key West, | | based on historical pamphlets and | other non-anecdotal material. The p‘ece is nonetheless a tempt- | ing mine of information to those readers shuddering with cold as| they leave the grocéry stores of jthe north clutching ‘Family Cir- | cle” with its tale of sunny, tropical | Key West.

It has helped persons with muscles so weak they could not move arms or legs against gravity, or against the friction of a bed. sheet, Dr. Schenker said. The secret of the machine is a metal shaft, mounted on fine roller bearings. Your breath can almost move it, The paralyzed leg or arm is placed in a sling hanging from the shaft. The center of the shaft is Placed, by plumb-line guidance, over the center line of the joint Of the leg, or shoulder. In effect, there.is almost no resistance from gravity or friction. ; Even if only a few muscle fibers are left, the patient quickly learns to swing the arm or leg back and forth. Tax System Made JACKSONVILLE — A Iong- range study to find ways and means of improving the system of assessing personal property taxes has been proposed by the president of the Florida Tax Assessors As- . | sociation. Recommendations would be made to the Legislature on basis of the study. James M. Owens Jr., association president and assessor ot Palm Beach County, erty assessments are relatively new in Florida, having been law only since 1932. Nearly five million dollars was collected by intangible taxes in 1941, he added. Owens also proposed a long- range study of the homestead ex- emption amendment. The intangible tax rate in Flori- da is the lowest in the country, J. N. Lummas Jr., Miami, a past president of the association, said. Calling for rigid enforcement of the law, he said it should be as nearly uniform as possible, Polio Victims Want To Go Home For Christmas OLEAN, N.
