THE NEW CITY CHARTER

A new city charter for Key West has
been passed by the State Legislature. Act
ing on motion by State Senator David E.
Ward the Senate added an amendment
which enables those opposed to the new
amendment has been accepted by the
House and therefore is part Of the char
ter act. IL -
Under this amendment the charter
must be approved by a majority of the
qualified voters of Key West--if IS per
cent of the electors petition city council
within so days for a referendum at a
SPECIAL election and if the council calls
a special election In the event no referen-
dunn is demanded, the new charter auto
charter is discarded at the end of the 90
day period allowed those wishing to petit
ton for referendum.
It is obvious, therefore, that the next
move is up to the opponents of the new
charter. Should they choose to ask city
council to call special referendum cleo
ton the opponents Of the plan to set up a
better form of municipal government prob
ably will be able to muster approximately
700 signatures to their petitions That
figure about represents Is per cent of the,
qualified voters of the city.
Principal opponents of the new char
ter appear to bessome of our city officials
and our city employees They feel their
positions or their jobs will be affected by
the provisions of the new charter, so
naturally they are opposed to any change
in municipal affairs. Their opposition
clearly indicates they want things to re-
main as they are under the present char
ter.
1t is little difficult to find valid
reason why our city employees should be
opposed to the change. Under the new
charter they are given full civil service
rights without being required to take any
examinations if they have been on their
jobs for one year. Not half dozen men
would be affected by this provision.
Then, too, our city employees will find
some hope of getting their wages when
they are due and for the full amount due
them under the new charter. It tightens
up the tax collection system, provision
that properly enforced, will make all our
property owners taxpayers If the muni-
cipal taxes are paid our municipal en-
ployes will be paid.
Just why Senator Ward attached the
referendum amendment to the charter is
not clear to supporters of the document.
If opponents of the new charter demand
referendum and it is called by the city
council it will cost the taxpayers a sizable
sum for election expenses. 1t would be a
pity to put this city to rather heavy fl
nancial expense by calling a referendum
on measure that will give Key West bet
ter taxation machinery for financing need
ed improvements, sponsoring WPA prof.
ects and for other vital requirements to
make this municipality more attractive to
visitors, investors and residents.
The Citizen believes the new charter
should be allowed to become law without
an expensive special election that may be
demanded by few selfish public SER
wants, 49,

PITY the man who never make a rnis

Pity the man who never makes mis-
take. That man never learns. He goes
through life entirely unaware of the rem
edy for mistake. Henry Ford says he
never has made mistake, for any wrong
thing he has done is the only way he could
ever learn not to do it. This would lead
JUS to believe that mistake is a part of all
education. A mistake is a necessary part
of our daily Instruction. But to repeat this
same mistake over and over again, with
cut learning to rectify and qualify, is the
biggest mistake of all Thank heavens
we have not man in Key West who has
never made mistake. Life IN this town
.would be less sweet if such a situation
,arose. Imagine living amidst such per-
lection and self-satisfaction!

vitamins keep life going. They
cost money. Do you waste these
vitamins in cooking or do you
keep a kitchen thrift account?
Overlooking is a spendthrift
with vitamins. Tragic is the cab
bage that has been overlooked
until 1t has lost much of its valu-
able vitamin c. Or those carrots
chopped into minute pieces, sub
merged in cooking water. then
served up minus the water--and
consequently minus much of their
vitamin and mineral content.
To assure the preservation of
the most vitamins and minerals
in the cooking OF fruit or vege-
table. follow the simple. easy-to-
observe rule. Cook quickly, in as
short a time as possible, using
the smallest amount of liquid that
is practical Make use Of the
cooking water"
Method and Timing Important
You don't need special kettles
or fancy equipment. It's just
matter Of method and timing.
1t is not necessary to flood vege-
tables during cook. For many,
a smaller layer of water at the
bottom of the pan will be enough
TO form steam 10 cook them.
Then. when the cooking is done,
there is about enough cooking
water to furnish liquid for a but
ter sauce or to be combined with
other fats and seasonings and
served with the vegetable. When
more water must be used, turn II
into soups. gravies and sauces.
All of the vitamins are more
easily destroyed in solution that
Ia alkaline than in one that is
acid. So nutrition experts put
thumbs down" on the adding of
soda TO preserve the color in green
vegetables. Even though this
practice may bring out the green
color. it destroys yitamins-espe-
cially vitamins c and B1.
A recent experiment with green
beans showed that the very least
amount Of soda that would pre-
serve the green color destroyed
nearly y of the yitamin Bl con-
tent.
When cooking vegetables, heat
them quickly to remove air in
their tissues. Avoid unnecessary
contact of air with the vegetable
during cooking. Stirring air into
hot food during cooking or Stew
ing increases vitamin destruction
BY oxidation.
Use Vegetables When Freshest
Another Misunderstanding practice
Is to use vegetables as soon as
possible after buying them or
bringing them in from the garden.
Buy green vegetables from day to
day If that is practicable. from q
