He had been going places as an engineer and

FIGHT AGAINST PARALYSIS

Early reports indicate Monroe county
is responding literally in the infantile
paralysis campaign being waged through
out the country. Half of all funds raised,
including the dimes being sent to the
White House, will be returned to this
county as permanent fund to be used in
aiding those in Key West and the re-
mainder of the county who have been
stricken by the dreaded disease.
DIR. H. C. Galley, chairman of the Mon
roe county Flight Infantile Paralysis cam
paign, reports that the response of the
people of this community has been "most
gratifying" The final event in the cam
paign will be the Presidents Birthday Ball
and Dinner this coming Saturday night.
The dinner will be served at La Concha
hotel, while the ball will be held at Club
Mramar, Roosevelt Boulevard.
Many dinner tickets are being dis
posed of, but there are still some reserva-
tons available. The dinner is being ar
ranged as one of the most outstanding So
cial affairs of the current season and the
spacious dining hall of the hotel should be
filled with diners. Receipts above actual
expenses will go into the paralysis cam
paign fund. The tickets for the dance are
on sale and it also promises to be we'll at
tended and enjoyable event. The same
rule prevails-all receipts above expenses
will be advanced to the fund. ~
The idea of turning back half of the
receipts to the various counties for carry
y~fo a
against infantile paralysis Isl splendid
move. Millions have been raised in the
last few years for such institutions as that
sponsored by President Roosevelt at Warm
Springs, Georgia. Science knows little
about disease that has affected the lives
of 100000 Americans, scattered in every
section of the country. 1t is fitting that
some of the money raised in this cause
should be returned to the communities
which donate it, so that they may each
have fund for aiding and treating local
sufferers.
Should Key West some day see con-
summation of the dream of municipal
hospital, unit of that institution might be
made available to. those stricken here by
infantile paralysis. Some medical authori-
ties have rated Key Vests climate and
the warm salt water highly in the treat
ment of many diseases and it might we'll be
that infantile paralysis victims would be
able to get some relief from their suffer
ings in this area. The idea is worth some
thought and study when facilities for treat
ment of such diseases finally become avail
able.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
PEOPLES FORUM
PURPOSE OF LICENSES

PURPOSE OF LICENSES
Editor, The Citizen:
Why are licenses required by
Governments? To obtain revenue
and protect the public from If
responsible people. The method
of licensing business in Florida
does not accomplish that purpose.
A law of Florida provides that
if a business or individual gives
a false statement of assets and
liabilities and obtains credit
thereon the individual making
the statement is guilty of fraud
and punished therefor.
This law was passed at the re-
quest of the business people and
similar laws are in force in near
ly all, if not all, of the states. This
law protects the business people
themselves and surely the state,
counties and municipalities
should have equal protection by
requiring certified statements
from businesses such as to values
on which assessment could be
based. Personal property used in
business gets more benefit from
government than real estate
without the protection of govern
ment business as now conducted
could not exist.
Business must have police pro-
lection, fire protection, or it could
not get insurance and, therefore,
would have no credit-will not go
into further detail, but will re-
peat-personal property used in
business, both tangible and in
tangible, not only gets more bene-
fits from government than real
estate but really could not exist
without the government.
Under the present method OF
i taxation the standard of honesty
the business world demands and
which is enforced by law, the
state, counties and municipal
ties should require-taX evasion
now is not only encouraged but
made almost necessary because
the worst offenders set the pace
making honest men do likewise
to meet competition.
The result is conditions con
tinually get worse and will never
improve until the public know:
the facts and demands reform
and then reform will come.
will appreciate any criticism Oh
suggestions, either private or pub
lie in reference to the above.

buried coquinas, the procedure is
repeated except that their move
! ment is controlled by the incom-
ing waves until at extreme high
water the coquinas' have again
reached their original position on
the beach.
The harvesting of this unique
crop is done by manual labor and
is controlled entirely by the va
rious actions of the tides during
the month. Specially designed
screens of suitable mesh are used,
which permits the same to be
washed from the coquinas as
they are shoveled from the beach.
The harvesting is conducted by
, a three-man crew. Their aver
age days work results in the
gathering of about forty bushels
of coquinas.
Each man has his own screen.
! AS the shell fish are dug and
washed they are sacked, about
forty quarts to the sack, and
placed along the beach, just at
the waters edge, SO that the
wash of the waves keeps the
sacks moist at all times. And at

sacks are loaded onto a truck and
hauled to the beach in front of
the plant, where they are placed
at position about halfway be-
tween the highwater mark and
the low-water mark, so that part
laof the time during the night they
will be submerged and part OF
