a Saturday, March 6, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN COLORED COMMUNITY NEWS WINIFRED SANDS 12-2826 Forest Hill Correctional School Helps Solve Juvenile Problems For the past several] weeks ar-, ticles on “Forest Hill Correctional School for Girls” have appeared in the columns of our paper. It is| hoped that through these articles a true picture of the school has been gotten by all. + It is the sincere desire of the community that not a single girl from Key West will ever have to make use of the facilities of the school. On the other hand, we are compelled to admit that juvenile problems exist in this community as in any other community in the!| world and it often becomes neces- sary to use disciplinary means of correction. With this fact well es- tablished, we in Florida are very fortunate in having such a place as Forest Hill to send our delin- Fs* | Happy JOHNSON, Editor Zion Church | | Needs Support Of Members By E.

A general plea is made to the general colored section west of Whitehead Street to put out all trash, regardless. of its nature. When the entire block is cleaned City trucks will be around to col- lect this rubbish without additional garbage charge. To those individuals who are too old or sick to do: their cleaning, they may report same to Mr. Bra- atz of the sanitafion department who will find some means of see- ing that same is cleaned. Let the Colored section of town join in this very necessary cam- paign and prove that cleanliness is next to godliness. ~ The cleaning fashion is one that you are urged to follow. Rake un- jder the floors, go into the attics, paper piles and all collections; throw old tree limbs out; old piec- es of clothing, and whatever trash has collected over the years. Remember that the blocks west of Whitehead Street only start the ball rolling. As. soon as these blocks are cleaned others will be added, Interesting talks on rat exter- mination were given by G.
