efficient and unaccommodating.
Except for the color of their
skins, James English and his son
Nelson were white men. During
the four years that / held the Of
flee of Postmaster, ! never once
had to criticize, correct, admonish
or complain of anything about
him. His conscientious sense of
duty was most remarkable and un-
usual.
Ellis wife, and ! think probably
one or more of his daughters
taught for many years in the
colored public schools of Monroe
County. One of Nelson's sons
has been for many years a Red
Cap in the Grand Central Station
at New York, where | have met
him on several occasions, and he
has always shown me that de-
ferential respect which dis.
tinguished his father and his
grandfather.
I 81 believe that the influence of
the English family in Key West
has had much to do with the good
manners and the good morals of
the old Key West colored people
who looked up to and respected
the English family.
/ among the old Key West
negroes, there were a number who
were good, honest and industrious
citizens, but they lacked the
education and achievement of the
English family. James English
and Nelson English were far and
away the most outstanding family
of negroes that has ever lived in
Key West, and to ignore them
now, when there is an opportunity
to perpetuate their name as an
example to coming generations
would be to lose an opportunity
to encourage the negro youth to
higher achievement.
81 therefore renew my sugges-
ton that the park be named
ENGLISH or NELSON ENG
LISH' park"

West for the purpose of assisting
MIR. Curtis and all property own
ers in the control of plant pests.
Mr.. Hart is a trained entomolo-
gist and spent several years in
Cuba in the employ of the Sanidad
Vegetal Department. He spent
some time i'm Key West. and Is
thus well equipped by training
and experience to be of great aid
in the Identification program.
Mr.. Karl o. Thompson, chair
man, expressed himself as being
extremely anxious to see the
prompt celan-up of all plant pests
and urges all citizens to cooperate
fully with both the committee and
the eradication forces.
After a general discussion OF
the need of reducing the number
of pests and in eradicati1g the
more serious ones, the following
motion was adopted by the COM
mittee:
Motion made and carried by a
unanimous vote of the Park and
Identification Advisory Board to-
endorse all work recommended
and carried on by the State Plant
Board and FERA with referen q
to the elimination of pests from
the plant material of the island.
Cooperation is particularly urg-
ed in view of the fact that the
program has the full approval Of
the FERA.

PWA Funds Improve
 Valuable Roadways
Federa-Aid Highway System to Spend $4OO, ,OOO, ,OOO
 Gives Employment to 75O,O00


 , way system, Congress earmarked $50,000,000 to, be spent on roads and trails in National parks, for ests, Indian reservations and other public lands and PWA allotted more than $7,000,000 for relief highway projects in nine states and approximately $23,000,00O in loans and grants to states, municipalities and other public bodies for road work.
 The PWA road money in large measure has gone directly into the pockets of hundreds of thousands of wage earners. As a work pro- ducer the money allotted for high ways has proved a major factor in recovery reen1ployment.
 More than 250,000 men last month were employed directly otl road projects at construction sites on Federal-aid and public roads alone.
 Many other thousands are at work on additional roads for which federal allotments were made to the agriculture and interior de- >partments and on nearly 200 non- federal road projects transferred from the PWA to the United States Bureau of Public Roads.
 Assuming there are 250,000 men employed directly on PWA road work, and this is a conservative estimate, there are close to three quarters of a million men now re- ceiving their income from PWA road allotments alone. This esti- mate is based on the theory that on road construction the ratio of indirect employment to direct em- ployment Is two to one. In other words, for every man working on the site 1t is estimated there are two men at work "behind the lines" in the manufacture, prep aration and shipment of materials used in road building.
 A report made by the bureau of roads covering its activities up to June ? of this year showed a total of 7,940 projects, estimated to cost $3S9,310.00O had been advertised for contract begun by day labor employed directly by highway authorities, or completed.
