SPENDING AND SAVING

The problem OF spending and saving
is as old as civilization, and in scarcely any
phase of human conduct do we find great
er differences among different persons. 1t
is unfortunate that SO few are able to strike
a happy medium between stinginess and
wastefulness.
The type of spendthrift who wastes
inherited money is we'll known, as is also
the lazy, shiftless type who lives from
hand to mouth in good times or bad. The
industrious worker who literally throws
away his earnings is more rare.
An illustration of the latter class is
seen in the late author and playwright,
Edgar Wallace, who was one of the most
prolific and successful writers of all time.
In the 25 years before his death he wrote
some $50 full length novels and literally
thousands of short stories, besides 20 plays.
So many of his works had big sales that his
income must have been exceedingly large.
He was thought to be wealthy man,
but at his death his estate was found IN
sufficient to pay his debts and his wife was
left without means of support. 1t seems
incredible that man of Wallace's lntelil-
gence and tireless energy should have been
so short-sighted with respect to his imam
cial affairs.

SEWER PLANT is OPERATING

With little fanfare or celebration of
any kind, the City of Key West started the
pumps working at disposal plant No. of
the sewer system last week Thus, for the
.irst time in history, this city has sewers
One-half Of one of The Citizens plat
forms OF improvements needed in Key
West IS apparently fulfilled-that which
calls for water and sewers. When the
aqueduct line from the mainland arrives, it
would be correct policy to discontinue that
improvement from the list adjoining this
column.
Such, however, could not be the case,
in the opinion CT this writer, and for this
reason:
The City of Key West has sewer sys-
tem-but to date, only two properties
have connected their sanitation equipment
to the main lines. We have the facilities to
bring our sewage disposal problems up to
date-but nO-One is using the system.
Of course it is only fair to state that
there has been too little time between the
inauguration of service and now to enable
any great number of property owners to
make the connections necessary. How
ever, in view of the long battle to gain this
needed improvement, it appears to The
Citizen that there should have been many,
many more applicants paying connection
fees into the city. Therefor-it doesn't
seem feasible to consider that the sewer
problem is solved.
Until such time as majority of
property owners in the district served by
plant No. have connected up to the sys-
tenn The Citizen will consider that that i'm
prOvement for Key West is still on the
books to be solved.
Council action weeks ago provided
the means to bring completion of the prof.
ect with ordinances requiring all residents
to connect up to main sewer lines within
9O-days' period No announcement of the
start of that period of time has been made
although the ordinance read "90-days
from this date" as it was passed on its
three readings.
The Citizen believes that the City
Council should make formal announce
ment to all property owners that the 90
day period will start this week. Then
steps should be taken to enforce regula-
tions outlined in the sewer legislation.
A sewer system in working order
without any users is just as bad as no sewer
system. Let's correct this situation with
dispatch.

AT YOUR next summer supper,
n serve a salad to match your
hospitality. LustTe. color and Zest
are some of the required ingredi-
ents and jellied tomato salads have
all of them.
To begin with, tomato jelly has
a wardrobe that any woman would
envy-a new and stylish dress for
every occasion. And it is vital in
flavor as well as versatile in ap-
pearance, which is the reason it
wins the applause of the men folks
too.
Served in a large ring mold with
its center filled with potato or
chicken salad, it will be the crown
ing glory of any buffet. Or. turning
the tables, it can be stuffed into
green pepper halves and deliciously
presented with accompanying
cheese balls. Made in small molds,
tomato jelly becomes one of the
fastest of garnishes for platters of
cold meats.
If you choose, you can vary it by
adding celery, almonds and diced
chicken. If you have a taste for sea
food, faxed crab, tuna or shrimp
make a delicious salad that is cool
in both taste and appearance.
The fact that this basic recipe
can be made up into two different
salads at once means time-saving
for the head chef of small families
Halve the recipe and fold different
ingredients into each. Then tucE
them away in the refrigerator and
salads for two days meals can be
forgotten until ready TO be served
The plain unfiavOred gelatine with
which they are made will preserve
all the tang of the tomatoes as wei
as giving them sparkling appear
ance TO match the taste.
