NEW JOBS FOR WOMEN

At an important vocational confer
ence held recently under the auspices Of
the New York League of Business and
Professional Women, the urgency of find
ing new job opportunities for women was
stressed.
Speakers at the conference included
leading female representatives of five lines
of work in which women already have
shown adaptability and which promise
great future development. These are hous-
ing, aviation, radio, television and social
work.
1t was stated that there are now in the
United States at least two million young
women between the ages of Is and "a who
are willing to work and need to work, but
who have never been employed. This does
not include those who may have had some
employment in the past, but are now un-
empoyed.
One speaker said: "You can not con-
tinue democratic society when you have
vast armies of young peope who see no OPP
portunities and no occupations ahead
Many will not agree with this view,
but will contend that too many women are
working now in jobs that should be filled
by men. But the fact remains that the
average American girl wants to be doing
something, and prefers to be doing some
thing useful and productive.
That so many women are unable to
realize their ambitions for business or
professional career is social and eco
nomic problem that deserves considera-
ton !.

Sunday School Lesson

ing not to misjudge those who
may differ with us in opinion
but whose lives shine with Chris
tan virtues.
It would be possible, Jesus pro-
ceeded, for men to call upon his
name publicly and even perform
good works, and yet instead of
being sincere followers of his and
builders of the kingdom, to be
workers of iniquity. Preachers,
Sunday School teachers, and pro-
Tossing Christians should read
these verses and realize that it is
not formal ceremonies or verbal
acceptance of his teachings that
count. but only the lives of serv-
ice lived genuinely in keeping
with his example.
Concluding, Jesus contrasted
two builders. One erected his
house upon an improper founda-
ton while the other wisely plac-
ed his securely. So, with human
lives, we should know the foun-
dationS upon which our faith and
deeds are based, for the final out
come depends largely upon that.
When the rains come, the floods
descend and the winds blow, only
those who have firmly placed
their hearts upon the eternal
principles of right will be able to
endure and remain triumphant.
Commenting, at the conclusion
of the message, Matthew remarks
that the people were aStonished
at the doctrines of Jesus, for he
spoke confidently as one with au-
thority rather than in the doubt
ing. questioning method of the
Scribes. The emphasis in Jesus
teaching was always placed upon
sincerity of motive and honest
purpose. Ceremony and form
meant nothing to him. Our world
today can still profit by COM
pletely understanding this dis
tinction.

Lesson Text. Matthew z

This is our third lesson based
upon the Sermon on the Mount.
In our two previous lessons we
had pointed out to us the condi-
tons of membership in the King
dom of Heaven, which Jesus was
proclaiming, and a statement of
some of the characteristics of
those who were genuine men,
bers of that kingdom.
Jesus warned his hearers
against the inclination to pass
judgment upon their neighbors.
Nothing is so easily done, nor af-
fords a greater entertainment in
conversation, yet, as usually prac-
ticed, it IS a careless, irresponsi-
BILE judgment. Human beings
quite naturally see faults in other
people while remaining entirely
oblivious to shortcomings just as
serious of their own. Jesus warn
ed that one would be treated in
kind and suggested that one at
tend to his own faults first.
Another verse suggests that we
use some discrimination in our
contact with the world. In the eff
fective and illustrative words
used by Jesus we are advised not
to throw pearls before swine nor
give holy things unto dogs. There
is no gain in sacrificing precious
possessions for the benefit of
those who neither recognize nor
appreciate them. In such cases,
however, we must be sure that
the failure to give is not inspired
by any lack of a longing to share,
which would make the withhold
ing sinful.
Jesus made a wonderful state
ment when he invited his fellows
to ASK and it shall be given
YOU, and he made the statement
with divine assurance that
everyone that asketh, receiveth",
illustrating the goodness and
generosity of the Heavenly
Father by analogy with human
fathers. Jesus was speaking
about spiritual attainment. He
did not mean that every person
that asked for wealth and other
material things would receive
them, but he knew that no man
could honestly seek righteousness
and goodness without finding the
reward he coveted. The rule
works invariably, and it is only
in the realm of the spiritual that
every man has unlimited posi-
bilities for a full development
which he alone can determine.
Jesus draws a distinction be-
tween two highways of life.
Many were following the broad
way and seeking to enter in at
the wide gate whereas compare
lively few follow the narrow way
and find the straight gate,
through which they pass to etern-
al life. Conditions have not
changed today. Jesus laid down
a very simple rule for all men
to follow, saying, "All things
whatsoever we would that men
should do unto you, do We even
SO to them, implying that the
rule of reciprocity governed life.
Jesus warned mankind against
false prophets, who would pre-
tend to lead them righteously
but who would be as far from
that as a wolf was from a sheep.
He laid down an unfailing rule
by which to test such claimants.
namely, the doctrine that lives,
like trees, should be judged by
their fruits. If it was not possible
to gather grapes of thorns, nor
figs of thistles, neither would it
be possible to have good deeds
and kind actions from an evil
heart. This also gives the warn

DRASTIC REMEDIES HINTED

In their utterances since Tuesdays
election, some of our new city officials
have been limiting that drastic remedies
may be invoked soon in an attempt to
bring municipal expenditures in line with
municipal revenues.
There are some wastes in operation
of the municipal affairs, according to
careful studies made by civic-minded and
non-partisan groups. These, of course,
must be eliminated. 1t would not make
sense for the city much longer to continue
wasting the taxpayers money for items
which are unnecessary. Even though each
item of expense that can be saved be small,
the total savings in year might go far to-
ward balancing the municipal budget.
Aside from possible savings in neces-
sary expenditures, the greatest field in
which the municipal treasury can be i'm
proved is the tax collection system. Every
Key Wester knows that this has been
faulty. The tax collection machinery has
been limping along on one cylinder, while
high-geared, efficient machine is
needed
Take the matter of collecting So from
each owner of an automobile in accord
ance with a city ordinance. Scores of cars
are still running around our streets with
last years license tags on them although
the tax was payable October 1. AS far as
The Citizen has been able to learn not one
motorist has been arrested for failure to
buy his municipal license plate. The
remedy here is so obvious it need not be
mentioned. That's one source of revenue
that should be tapped to the last car.
Take the matter of occupational
taxes A considerable volume of these
has not been collected. Stores, shops, and
other places of business are still operating
under last years licenses. So far as The
Citizen has been able to learn not one
person has been arrested for failure to pay
the occupational tax. Again the remedy
is obvious.
Take the matter of collecting fines in
the police Justices court. This has been
woefully weak, according to the police de-
partment. The policemen have complained
that majority of those they have arrested
for various law infractions have not been
adequately fined. If fines are not levied
and collected there are two results-re-
spect for law is weakened and the city
treasury is short-changed. Once again,
the remedy is obvious.
If our new city officials adopt some
drastic remedies to put this city on its feet
they will warrant and enjoy the respect of
IL l.
munity. Laws must be enforced, fines
must be levied and collected, taxes must
be assessed fairly and honestly collected.
Our city officials have job on their
hands, but will have public support as long
as they act firmly, impartially and justly.
