WHAT ABOUT YOUR FOOD

Men and women have been eating for
thousands of years but not until com
paratively recent times has there been any
real scientific study of foods.
The discovery of the vitamins and the
information secured as to the processes of
digestion has, in recent years, revolution
lied the scientific conception of food. So
much so that it is no longer possible to dis
tinguish between food and drugs, for the
financial products of protein digestion are
very closely related chemically to certain
active drugs. -
Inasmueh as the function of food is to
provide energy for the individual and to
assist in rebuilding the constituent parts of
the body, deficiency in any needed ele-
ment is reflected in i'll effects upon the
body itself. Along this line, certain, vita
Minis have been recognized as a peculiar
value in preventing the common cold,
which is one of the scourges of the day. In
fact, the diet containing the proper proper
ton of these vitamins has been noticeabIy
effective in group test in protecting in
dividuals against colds.

A PERSONALITY PUZZLE

The other day a ninety-three-year-
old woman died in four-room shack in
the outskirts of Tampa, Florida. Her pass
ing drew little notice in the newspapers,
or among neighbors, but it was discovered
after her death that she left an estate of
nearly $350,O00, of which $230,0O0 was in
cash.
To many citizens of Monroe County,
eagerly looking for opportunities to in
crease their annual incomes, the case of
this Florida lady presents a problem.
While millions of her fellow Americans
feverfshIy sought wealth, this lady, for
fifty years, while in the possession of a
comparative fortune, dressed like char
woman and lived like share cropper.T
What is the answer? Did thei dead
woman know some secret method of living
happily without money or had she phil
osophy that satisfied her soul without ex-
preston in material things?

A NEW YEAR-A NEW SLATE

Mingled with the headaches and
happy greetings today was the sober
realization that the outlook for the future
of Key West and Monroe County looked
brighter than it did one year ago. Many
things have been accomplished in the last
IL months; many things remain to be done
during the next IL months. What has
been done in the last year will react to the
benefit of the entire community next year.
So ON with the good work.
A few of the fine accomplishments of
the last year are: 5sr'a ~
Completion of the long water spans
in the Overseas Highway and general I'M
provement of the roadway leading to the
mainland
Completion of plans for fresh water
supply from the mainland, with the
promise now money for the work will be
available this year.
Preparation of plans for extension of
the Overseas highway via the old rail bed
from Big Pine Key to Key West, with the
hope the right of way may soon be OBJ
tanned and the work gotten under way.
Groundwork laid for procuring COM
munity hospital, extension of the inter-
coastal waterway to Key West, for hous-
ing project for persons in the low income
brackets, for eventual reopening of the
naval station, for creation of AIuRln
beaches and for many other needed and
worthy improvements.
During the year hundreds of rooms
have been added to our housing facilities,
work has been started on an addition to
the county courthouse and other buildings
have been repaired and repainted; many
of the streets have been resurfaced and
improved, the city water and sewage sys-
tenn was rapidly taking shape-and the
morale of our citizens generally was
raised to about the highest level in the
history of the city.
These are fine accomplishments. They
at once are a source of pride and cause
for hope. They show that the people of
Key West and Monroe County, while they
have been down, were never out. Those
things that remain to be done will be done,
if the achievements of the last IL months
can be used as a measuring rod. Our civic
organizations, our city and county officials
and our citizens generally have shown
willingness to cooperate for the good of
all. It is of such stuff that progress is
made.
1t looks as though it will be really,
truly Happy New Year!

THE STORY OF THE ROSES
A pallid monk who could not
sleep,
Who could not laugh and could
not " -ep,
Arose and in his sandals crepl
To where the roses slept, :
And gathered armsful in the
night
To place before the vigil light.
In some rich garden of a king
There dwelt a lovely scarlet thing
VINO lived among her sullen
slaves
And spent her love on kanaves.
The king was busy with his wars
and gold
Until the rose was scar and old.
There swayed a rose so white,
A poe, saw it in the night,
And built a wall no man could
scale
To touch its petals pale.
And then the stalwart man OF
song forgot
The rose that trembled there un-
sought.
Oh, Gardner of lost lovelineSs,
Who sill can plant and bless.
Perhaps you smile on Us pale
men
Who make wax flowers then,
And send our idle wreathe of
song to share
The waste upon the desert air
