KEY WEST sLUM CLEARANCE

One of the key projects on the New
Deal slate to be submitted at the next ses-
sion of the Congress is further appropria-
tion for continuation of the nationwide
program to wipe out slum areas and to
lfovide "sub-normal-income" families with
adequate, sanitary and livable quarters at
low cost. 1t is a favored project and seems
Likely t9lbe approved by CONGRESS
This work would be foEWarded under
the United States Housing gbofity hich
is not to be confused with the Federal
Housing Administration, asfederaI agency
for providing those who can afford Ut with
new homes or with remodeled, repaired
and revamped old homes. The United
States Housing Authority is concerned
wholly with eradication of slums and con-
struction of low-cost homes for the very
poor
Under the provisions of the law set
ting up the United States Housing Au-
thority, the city of Key West has created
Key West Housing Authority. This agency
has been working for some weeks and,
with assistance of Franklin Albert and
others identified with WPA, has collected
a considerable volume of data concerning
requirements of those who now live ia
squalid and delapidated quarters or who
have been forced to find ,precarious sheltes
elsewhere following demolition of large
number of old buildings during the last
year or so.
The need for a housing project to
take care of approximately 100 families
has been pretty definitely established. Key
Vests Housing Authority is now trying to
United States Housing Authority will loan
up to 80 per cent of the cost of any APP
proved housing project and since the
sponsoring city must appropriate 10 per
cent either in land or cash, it is possible
the Key West Housing Authority may be
able to acquire site by procuring suffi-
Gent number of tax delinquent properties.
In some cities such sites are obtained in
this manner, often by trading outlying de-
linquent properties taken over by such
municipalities for land within the zero Sc
lected for the housing project.
If some such arrangement can be
worked out in Key West and if the city
can show, as it confidently expects to be
able to do, that it has an economic future
extending over the period of the federal
loan, 60 years, there is now every indica-
ton slum clearance project for the city
will go forward as quickly as funds become
available. 1t probably will not cost the
taxpayers of the city one cent, except in
directly through the donation of tax de-
linquent properties of questionable value.
The Key West Housing Authority is
to be congratulated upon the speed and
sound procedure it has followed in bring
ing the project forward to its present
status. Every good citizen hopes the ulti-
mate result will be worthy of the men who
are giving time to solving this pressing
problem.

TWO MOST COMMON NIPPLE
MENTS used to kill fish are the
bruiser and sticker. The bruiser
is of yellow-pine wood approx
mately two feet long and about
two inches thick. Shapes vary
some round, some square and
others wider than they are thick.
The club tapers off at one end to
a size that can easily be grasped
by the hand. Bruisers are used
to kill small-size fish, such as
grunts, yellowtail, porgies, lain
snappers, etc. The sticker, on the
other hand, can be used on all
fish in which the length of the
point can penetrate to the brain.
The sticker is of cast iron or
Steek It's length is usually a
footand-a-half to two feet. The
point, which forms square at
one end, is about an inch and a

off. An expert with the stieker
can hit the vital spot" in one

Every time a newspaper prints the
word doctor" or its abbreviation DIR"
before the name of a medical practitioner
it advertises him. Since it is against the
ethics of the disciples of Aesculapius to
advertise, the title should be deleted by
the newspapers or they should come in for
eensure by the profession.

MANY RESIDENTS and Wis

tors are puzzled as to the reason
some fish are scaled and others
are skinned. Small fish can cas-
lily be scaled because the scales
are not imbedded into the outer
skin to any great length. Jew
fish scales are so large and so
deep in the outer skin that it
takes quite a pull to remove even
a single one. Groupefs can be
scaled but most fish-eaters pre-
fer that they be skinned in order
to remove the tough outer skin.
In scaling a grouper the strokes
at first should be downward. In
this manner the slime every
grouper likes to carry around will
be rubbed off. Grouper scales
are very small and fine. The skin
on a turbot is cut at the sides and
the whole yanked off like a coat.
Perhaps the easiest fish to clean
is the shell fish. The stomach is
cut open and the "insides" dis
posed of. That is all there is to
it. To prepare this fish for bak-
ing thd housewife removes all
the meat, grinds it up with other
ingredients and forms a stuffing,
which is placed in the shell.
Many claim this is the most de-
licious of fish.

Regular highway ferry sched-
ule, which affords two sailings
daily from each end of the route,
will be resumed commencing
with tomorrow morning, Assist
ant Engineer Clifton Bailey an
nounced today. Sailing will be
at 8 a. m. and l p. M, as former
ly, from both No Name Key and
Lower Matecumbe. Mr.. Bailey
said that in order to provide ade-
quate service both the Ferries
Florida Keys and Key West have
been placed in first-class condi-
ton. They have been painted,
thoroughly overhauled and are
now ready to handle the tremend-
Gus amount of traffic expected
during the present season. TRAY
ell over the ferries has now in
creased appreciably and there is
an appreciable percent of foreign
cars noted, according to the re-
ports of Mr.. Bailey.
A squad of about nine prohi-
bition agents and other enforce
ment officers arrived in the city
early this morning and at once
started their activities. A num-
Der of places were raided in a
rapidly executed expedition in
quest of liquor law violators. AT
noon it was understood that as
many as a dozen arrests are to
be made by the officers and those
arrested will be arraigned some
time today before c. Rodney
Gwynn, u. S. commissioner. The
raiders made a clean sweep in
almost every part of the city.
Even the alleged makers of home
brew, exclusively, were caught in
the net. Where the officers found
any evidences of the stuff all
evidences were destroyed except
sufficient amount to be held
for evidence. The expedition is
reported to have started on
Greene street just west of Duval
with swing into Fitzpatrick
street, thence along Front to the
corner of Duval, not missing a
single place in that territory. The
raids attracted curious crowds
and one of the raiding party was
heard to say: 1T would be great
if we had brass band.

FARM BELT POLL
ON "PEGGING" OF
PRICES ORDERED
Guarantee of Cost Of
Production Favored

GN.SO Showing concern over
widespread opposition to the Ad.
ministration's farm program, De
partment Of Agriculture officials
have ordered q census Of farm
belts to determine the depth Of
support for the coSt-of-production
plan.
The survey, officials said pri'
vately, will take into consideration
all forms of opposition to produc-
ton control, but will pay particu-
lar attention to the activity Of
proponents Of cost-of-producsion
and domestic allotment, which
missed passage in the Senate last
year by a narrow margin.
WALLACE SURPRISED
The decision to make the can
vass followed the return to Wash
ington Of Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace from q tour Of the cotton
and wheat belts. wallace was
said to have reported to subordi.
mates that he was surprised" at
the support for price-pegging
schemes, particularly the cost-ot.
production.
Wallace himself will sound out
the opinion Of corn producers
toward the crop control features
Of the farm bill when he speaks
at Springfield, H., october IA.
Springfield will terminate his per.
sonal tour of the principal agr1-
cultural belts.
SURPLUS Is PROBLEM
The cost-of.production program,
designed to insure to the farmer
average cost Of production prices
on crops sold on the domestic
markets, has gained support due
to the collapse Of prices because
Of failure of production control
to compete with large crop sur.
Epluses, department officials said.
Sponsored by Senator McAdoo
Cd Of California and Represent
ative Eicher CD) of Iowa, the
cost-o production program became
the principal threat to the Admin
iStration's farm bill while it was
under bitter debate in the last
session Of Congress.
