The return of the popularity of the
cookie jar on the shelf has in no way
replaced the popularity of the candy
box in the cupboard. We say in the
cupboard so the children won't be able
to reach it quite as easily as they can
the cookie jar. A little candy is fine
for them but too much will DO all
sorts of things.
If the housewife decides to make
candy for her children and is only
planning on making one kind, she Will
be wise to make a chocolate candy.
Children love foods that make the big
rest stain on their clothes and OF
course, chocolate is chocolate, so why
say more?

Dedicated to the memory of

OCuAC0tC0 " tAAO AAASAAAOAJ Va
Mrs. Sarah E. Dickinson
Dear little lady wrapped in sleep
While myriad blossoms vigil keep,
So calm, so sweet, your well-earned
rest
One thinks only, 30 how blest!"
Your frail form free from cruel pain
Yields now to the souls full reign.
Earth gave to you woman's task,
And no quarter did you ask;
But through long and care-filled years
Conquered fate and mastered tears.
Wife, mother, friend, courageous,
true,
Duty's path was all you knew.
Your folded hands, proud of their toll,
Bear no stain of deeds that soil;
Erect, somewhere, your spirit treads
A starlit way whose glory sheds
Rays of faith on those below
Who seek in vain the peace you know.

RADIANT LIVING
Safety. in Reflected Light
By Rev. c. M. Griffith
Pasfor Methodist Church

PaSCOr MeCnO01SC CnuTCn
Ridgely, Md.
It was a strange road on which we
were travelling that night. It had
many curves. But we sped along with
confidence because every left curve
was lined with a long series of tiny
brilliant lights that marked out to US
in the night the degree of the curva-
ture of the bend.
Somebody with a brilliant mind
has preceded us along this road and
left trail of safety for us to follow"
I remarked musingly to friend who
was riding with me.
cts a great ideal" he exclaimed,
81 wonder who thought of lining these
curves with those little posts and put
ting cats eye in each one of them
to reflect our headlights?"
My friend was silent for moment.
Then he spoke thoughtfully. els there
not Higher Mind who is seeking to
make safe for us the roads of life,
roads other than concrete?" His tone
revealed the depths of his thought.
Then he quoted verse of Scripture:
"The path Of the just is as these shin
ing light, that shineth more and more
unto the perfect day."
That reminds me of a verse in the
Psalms" added, "Thy word is a
lamp unto my feet, and light unto
my path"
I had no sooner quoted the verse
than there wildly flashed into my
mind truth that seemed so blessed.
I saw that all along the dangerous
curves of the roads of life God has
placed the words of Scripture, that,
as we approach them, they will pick
up and reflect the rays of our thoughts
and conversations and reveal to us
just where, in what we are about to
do, our safety lies!
Just for the fun of it, while swing
ing around that curve that night, ]
switched off my headlights. Instant.
ly every one of those many lights
that guardingly lined the curve ahead
disappeared. Then Immediately as ]
switched them on again, the little
lights leaped instantly into warning
brilliance.
"You'd better keep on your ights!'
my companion remarked. But read
q deeper meaning in his words. "It
would make for greater safety" he
seemed to have said to me, SHOULD !
keep my thoughts directed Scripture
ward"

KEY WEST

eoeooo . 0 % o Q o
There's a small coral Island
In the tropical seas,
With perpetual sunshine
And continuous breeze.
When the cold north is freezing,
Here all Natures in bloom
In luxurious grandeur
Knowing not winters gloom,
Where the cocoa branches
And the palms gently bend
With a charm of enchantment
Welcoming every friend.
And the green emarld ripples
On the oceans clear face
Spreads a spell of allurement
Over infinite space.
If in life's rush and hurry
There is need of its rest,
Natures lovely refreshment
May be found in Key West.

TAXING ALL INCOMES is FAIR

The proposal that the United States
Government be allowed to place an in
come tax upon the salaries of state Off
Gals and that, at the same time, the state
governments be allowed to place an in
come tax on the salaries of Federal Off
Gals, IS eminently sound and deserving of
prompt attention by Congress.
There is no reason in the world why
an official of either the Federal or State
Government, drawing q salary of similar
size, should not pay enlaI income taxes
with other citizens of q state. To pretend
tA8sthe power to levy an income tax upon
tRHAsalaries of officialsswould enable the
State or Federal Government to interfere
with the proper functions of government
is, we think, absurd.
There certainly can be no threat to
the proper functions of government, as ex-
ercised by Federal officials, if this state
taxes the income of such officials at the
same rate that it taxes the incomes of its
own citizens Likewise, the officials of
this state government and its local sub
divisions, would not be prevented from
carrying out their duties by the imposi-
ton and collection of a Federal income,
tax on the same basis that the tax applies
to other citizens of the United States. We
suspect that the cry to the contrary is
raised by officials anxious to save the
taxes for themselves
$ 81 the present, the question is in the
hanlls~of- congressman. These gentlemen
receive salary of $4,000 year that is
exempt from State income taxes. The
natural presumption is that they will in
cline themselves very slowly to the passage
Of any law that will provide additional
taxation for themselves. However, they
should not stand in preferred position
and they should be required to pay the
same income taxes that are paid by bust
nass ard professional men who earn the
same amount of money in year.

PREPARING CHARTER DRAFT

In another four weeks the Florida
member of the Legislature will have one
or more bills to present to that body.
Among them will be bill validating the
proposed new charter for the city of Key
West. Representative Bernie c. Papy has
approved the major provisions of the ten
tative measure and is awaiting the final
draft now being shaped by the legal divi-
sion of the Charter Revision Committee.
AMONG the major provisions are:
~ T. Making the mayor the chief adj
miihistfatNe officer of the city.
2. Election of city council of seven
members, one to be president, each to
serve for-$1 year.
3v~sR Reorganization Of the various
functions Of the municipal government in
t. six departments, each department to be
directly supervised by one member of the
city council.
4. Abolition Of the Board of Public
Works ard formation Of a separate de-
partment to take over the duties of that
body under the general direction of one of
the councilmen
5. Appointment of a civil service
board Of probably three members and
placing all municipal employees under city
service regulations, which would not af-
feet present employs who would be per-
mitted TO take non-competitive examina-
tons for their jobs
Under the new city charter the mayor
becomes the most important city official.
In effect he is a city manager, for he will
be charged with the responsibility of see
ing that the city gets economical, efficient
and effective service from the various
municipal departments.
The provision that the city council
men shall receive no more than ST a year
is designed to attract candidates who
have sufficient time and means to enable
them to give good service without fear of
losing their jobs. In other words, their
actions should be guided by whether the
matters that come before them are good or
bad for Key West, not whether they will
lose or gain votes in acting for the best in
terests of the entire city.
The Citizen believes the proposed
new city charter is an Improvement over
the present system and hopes the State
Legislature loses no time in making it law.
When that occurs the citizens of Key West
have an important duty to perform. They
must elect a mayor and members of the
city council who are capable, honest and
fair-minded-must elect men whose sole
desire is to serve all the people all the time
and not just a few all the time.

WALLER HEARD
AT LIONS MEET
MANY SUBJECTS DISCUSSED
AT SESSION THURS
DAY EVENING
tBy CLUB REPORTER

Lion DR.. Harry H. Waller, of
Coral Gables, was the speaker at
the regular experimenting of
Key West Lions Club Thursday
evening, his subject being Moral
Preparedness. H. E. Day, presi-
dent, was in the chair.
The speech, very ably present
ed, featured many personal ex-
periences of DR.. Walters, serving
to illustrate the subject of his
talk. A highlight of his speech
was this assertion: years ago it
was considered sub-normal to be
interested in subjects concerning
religion. A turn-about from that
belief now conceeds that persons
thinking along spiritual lines
are quite in the majority, and,
therefore, entirely normal.
Support of the club in educa-
ton work among the citizenry
following release of the new city
charter is expected soon. Mem
beers were reminded that their
club originate the move that now
appears in its final stages.
Other subjects considered were
the coming International Con-
vention at Pittsburgh, Pa, and
the effort to be made to have
Lions of Cuba expected to attend
in large numbers to route their
voyage via this city; the coming
recital of the Choral Society,
during which songs written by
Stephen Foster would be sung as
this city's contribution in the
Foster Memorial Drive under
Lions Club sponsorship, and ac-
tivities being planned for the
club-sponsored Sea Scout Ship.

MARVEL OVER
FLORIDA FOR
WATER FILMS
MOVIEMAKERS ARE LOUD IN
PRAISE OF CONDITIONS AS
FOUND FOR SHOOTING UN-
DERWATER SCENES
tsnecinl to The Citizen


OCALA, March 6.-Hollywood
moviemakers DOTTED their hats
today to Florida, and admitted
on location here for a new Tarzan
film that Mother Nature has done
for the Sunshine State something
the combined brains and money
of Hollywood has thus far failed
to accomplish.
They referred to Florida's clear
springs, which they find to their
liking for underwater pictures.
We've spent fortunes in Hol-
lywood for huge tanks, they de-
clared, land have planted fresh
vegetation in them every shoot
ing day. We've installed expen-
sive filtration machinery, and
hired the best engineers, none of
them has produced what we
could term photographically
clear WRITER. But in Florida's
springs VIE find the ideal setup".'
One MGM official, who is here
with Johnny Weismuller and
company of 20 shooting jungle
and underwater scene at Silver
Springs for the new Weismuller-
Maureen O'Sullivan film, Tar
IAN In Exile, told how his COM
pany sunk $4,000 in a single
tank, only to get disappointing
results.
But at Silver Springs, for in
lance, he said, "the water is al
most as clear as atmosphere, we
don't have to transplant any
vegetation or worry about filtra-
ton, and we can shoot and shoot
to our hearts content, with re-
suits that are really amazing.
The thing that puzzles us most,
though, is how Nature filters
that water so easily and we just
can't duplicate it,.
BY travelling 5000 miles with
their company, and a quarter of
a million dollars worth of equip
ment, they not only are able to
shoot underwater pictures here,
but to film most of the jungle
scenes for the picture, which is
supposed to be laid in Africa.

CONFIDENCE

Suggested by Sea Gullsl
sssssssssssssessssssssss
Confidence and faith are surely
akin,
When, with uplifted head we
are able to stand
The supreme tests of life, and be-
gin
To adapt ourselves to some
purpose and plan.
1t is then we should pause, and
observe the course
Pursued; the wonderful trust
small creatures show,
AS they meet obstacles, yet on
ward go
The way that seems planned
by a Higher Source.
We turn to the sea gulls as in
trepid they sail
Ger the crest of the waves,
never fearing a gale,
They know their food is in wa
ter, yet so
Often they rise in the air and
safely fly
To exercise wings in eXpanSe of
blue sky;
Then gracefully drop to the
water below.
So, too, must we rise above pro-
sale aim
And not be afraid of venture
new;
A life without purpose is not
playing the game,
For wings of the soul require
exercise, too.
