ONE MANS INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE

SOL time ago a man surveyed his in
vestmvnt experience during two genera
tOns
His first investment was in real es-
tate. Hard times came along, taxes scared,
and values deprecated. He was forced to
mortgage it-and eventually the mortgage
was foreclosed This investment was near
ly total loss.
His next investment was in a small
business. 1t did fairly we'll for while
then better product came on the market.
The business went to the wall. This in
vestment was total loss
His third investment was in securities
that were regarded as first-class How
ever, changed conditions proved otherwise
the securities declined in value and
finally became worthless. This investment
was also a total loss.
During this time, other savings he
made shrank to about ten cents on the
dollar
One investment not only held its
value, but appreciated. That investment
was a life insurance policy.
For downright safety, it would seem
that life insurance tops the list for the saw
ingS of the average man.

THE NON-CHURCH COER

There are individuals in every COM
munity, including Key West who take
pride in their aloofness from organized
religion although fully conscious of some
very definite beliefs.
We have no criticism of this attitude
if it represents real independence. and the
inability to give aequieseence to the .tenets
of any available church. When it is; based
on conviction that the individual is not
good enough to belong to any church, we
think the man or woman is making mis-
take, even though we recognize the provo
cation that comes from the. church men,
bers who are always ready to tell every
body else what to do and how and when
to do it.
If all of us would frankly admit our
own imperfect nature and realize that Or
ganized religion is, at BEST only human
instrument to serve human beings and if
all church members, however sanctified
they may consider themselves, would ex-
hibit greater tolerance to others, the way
would be open to greater growth of church
membership.
Truth of the matter, the failure of
sumo individuals to go to. and belong to-,
/ ne church where distinct personal and
social gains can be secured, is not to be
'amed entirely on the absent individual.
This thought might sound like treason to
some devout readers, but little thinking
on the subject by responsible church lead
ers might bring results

COlMMENDABLE

When an individual discovers some
thing of value the usual reaction is, what
can | get for it?"
DIR. Leroy L. Hartman, who discover
ed that a solution of thymol, ethel alcohol
sand sulphuric ether would kill much of the
pain connected with dentistry, announced
his formula and, with no effort to com
mercialize it. gave the information to the
world.
We don't know whether the Hartman
solution will end all pain associated with
dental work, or only that arising in the
Gentine as distinguished from the nerve. 1t
lakes little difference insofar as his I'M
selfish motive is concerned. He is entitled
to the gratitude of millions who may be
spared the pangs of toothache and the suf-
fering that often accompanies dentistry.

THERE ARE OTHER THINGS IN LIFE

TIE average citizen of Key West is
no doubt interested in the political events
that occur in the United States, which is
quite proper considering that the theory
of our government involves an understand
ing of the issues by every voter.
There is a tendency, however, for the
individual to become intensely interested
in the outcome of political campaigns, in
volving issues that seem traRscendent, and
to drift into a state of mind which mag
nifies the Importance of the outcome.
While it is right and proper for
every American to pass judgment upon
every national administration, there is no
occasion for them. to divide into bitterly
hostile groups Or to permit politics to en-
tirely overshadow the other values in life

Although official notification has
come to Postmaster }. Il. league OF
the advancement Of the Henderson
post office to the rating of first class
as of July /, no information has been
given as to the measure of addition
al service that will be provided pat
rons Of the office when the change
takes effect.
There has been a hope that ar
rangements may be made for keeping
the office open nights until at least
midnight, and also that sufficient
help may be added to speed the dis
trbution of mails on late afternoon
trains. 1t is expected that some inn
provements and changes will be an
rounced from the Post Office Depart
mont in Washington by July I.
Mr. league said today he had re-
ceivcd no further advices as to the
exact plans for enlargement of the
post office in the building program
soon to get under way. Bids have
been called 70 rto be opened July
at the Treasury Department in Wash
inCton and blueprints of the eXpan-
son program have been received
hcre. But no figure ever has been
publicly announced as to the approx
innate amount of money involved in
the work. The capacit yof the build
ing will he increased, however, by APP
proXimatcly half
No decision has been announced,
either, as to location of temporary
quarters for the post office to be
used while the new construction is
under way. Bids were called for and
opened some weeks ago, and there
were three offers of sits. But none
has yet been accepted
The belief now is that work will get
under way in the late summer in the
expansion program
