had successfully followed out
that procedure, though Boyden
didn't know whether Key West
could do so.
Collector Sam B. Pinder was
then given a chance to address
the council on the subject that
SO vitally affected his office. He
stated that he was perfectly
willing to cooperate with the
council in any reasonable man.
ner and suggested that the coun-
Gil appoint deputy collector to
make house to house calls in eff
fort to collect taxeS-the COM
missions to be paid by him. He
would cooperate by holding of
flee to receipt bills as they came
in.
Councilman Boyden, at this
point, tried unsuccessfully to
have the list of delinquentS owing
more than $100 read to the coun-
Gil then and there. Ramsey
amended the motion to read
'$25.00 and over, but both the
motion and amendment lost
to 3-the division being exactly
as stated in the opening section
of this article
Council president William Free
man then took the floor and pre-
faced his remarks with this
statement-''I can't see publica-
ton of the list at ALL He was
of the opinion that only ten per
cent of the public would read the
list.
Freeman reminded the gather
ing of hard times" of 1882 and
subsequent five years in calling
attention to the lack of ability
to pay taxes. He offered two
suggeStionS-1. to make personal
contact with delinquent taxpay-
ers or write them letters, and z.
make a satisfactory deal with
The Citizen to accept payment for
the publication bill as taxes were
collected. Later. however. he
had the city clerk record as his
reason for voting against pub
LEGATION because no money was
provided for that procedure In
the budget.
Councilman Sweeting's con-
tribution to the discussion chief
ly concerned the danger to prop
erty owners in the city who
could not afford to pay their
taxes. According to law their
property could be sold for
taxes" along with that of the
rich taxdodger" if the list was
published. No discrimination in
favor of the poor would be pos
sible.
After the final vote, some brief
discussion was entered into on
other ways to enforce collection
of taxes, but no further light was
shed on the subject besides that
outlined in former statements as
recorded herewith. Accordingly,
the council adjourned.

the educational and other op-
portunities available in the
Civilian Conservation Corps.
1t is important to have in mind
the new definition of 'unemploy-
ed and in need of employment" .
This new definition is the heart
of the new regulation. The final
clause of the new definition
specifics that in order to be
eligible the applicant must need
the employment, the job training.
the educational and other oppor-
tunities available in the CCC".
The word need" used in this
connection has its customary
meaning of inability to provide
such opportunities out of his
own or his family'S resources.
In other words. while it is not
necessary that the family be in
a relief status or unable to main
tain a normal standard of living
in order that the son shall be
eligible for enrolment, it is still
intended, as indeed the statute re-
QuireS. that the enrollee shall
''need' the employment and vo-
cational opportunities of the
Corps. If such opportunities are
fully available to him because of
his own or his family'S re-
sources. he is not within the
regulation and under the statutes
eligible for enrolment.
The new regulation does re-
move restriction upon selection
of desirable and qualified young
men. 1t opens the door to en-
rollment to a new group of un-
employed youths who have en-
ergy and ambition and who need
the opportunities for work and
training which the Corps pro-
Vides. 1t is vital that the va
cancieS in the camps should be
filled bv young men who will
make the most of those oppor-
tunitieS.
1t would be a splendid thing if
every young American could be
given the opportunity to serve
for six months or a year in the
healthful. outdoor atmosphere of
the CCC camps. The discipline.
the orderly routine of camp life.
the training facilities. the con-
slant medical attention and the
inspiring leadership found in every
CCC camp could not help but
leave their imprint upon every
youth who enrolled. The oppor-
tunity to be of service to the ma
ton. especially in these times.
should appeal to every young
American
The Corps has moved. logical
ly. one further step in the direc-
tion of selecting applicants on
the basis of their own need and
fitness for CCC opportunities 1t
has. at the same time, moved fur
ther awav from the application of
an arbitrary standard of family
income as a basis for selection.
During the October enrolment
selecting agents throughout the
country should apply these prin-
ciples with care so that the Corps
shall obtain a group of youths
who are ominentlv fitted to prof
it in exceptional degree from the
fine training opportunities of the
Corps. the bulletin urged.
In conclusion, Mr.. McEn-
tee wrote, Il wish 70 empha-
size my hope and expectation
that during the October en-

EDUCATION

Education has many functions in
times like these, and one of those
functions is to enable its products
to stand upon their own intellectual
feet. We need only examine the
mass appeals of our day and the
mass responses to see how easily
the people ire swept from solid
footing to tragedy; or how often
they grope blindly in morass and
jungle for a patch of earth both sat
isfying and secure. Herein lies a
momentous peril to democracy. We
may shout the virtues of democracy
from every house top; we may
write of them upon every scrap of
paper which men read, but until the
people are able to examine propa-
ganda critically and r disposed
to put demagoguery down, the fall
of democracy merely awaits the
overwhelming persuasive voice, the
strong arm, and the pictorial will.
If the schools do not furnish a cit
izenry whose minds are their pro-
lection against propaganda, to
whom shall we look?
From the instant a man is born
and before, there play upon him in
fluences which tend at any moment
of decision to warp his judgement.
The country in which he lives, the
race to which he belongs, the street
on which he resides, and innum-
cradle other factors all contribute

surprised last Sunday when | Wis
tied several churches to find so few
ushers on duty. The first Sunday
in the New Year. That didn't
make a very good showing for your
New Years Resolution or did you
make one?" Of course, the mite
services were better as l noticed
most of the locals fairly well rep
resented.
Due to an oversight we forgot to
mention the new address of our
president, Mrs. Young, in the fut-
ure you may find her at 2301 North
25th st. By the way; while on the
subject all you Presidents and
Chairmans will have a chance to
see where she lives because next
Sunday January 14th is Cabinet

home, so don't be late-3 p. m. you
know is the time.

to his bias. 1t is a function of ed
ueation to overcome this irrational
leaning in an individual and to en-
able him to approach his problems
and to arrive at his decisions on the
basis of thinking clear and untram
meled.
Another enemy to an objective
approach by men to their problems
is the strong emotional strain in
human beings. 1t is true that the
heart has reasons which reason
does not always understand; but
there is a kind of emotion which
does not even stem from the heart;
it is pure effervescence, and it is
dangerous. It makes mobs poss-
ible and mob action. 1t is the re-
sort of men who have reached their
intellectual extremities. It robs
men of such reason as they may
possess and thus reduces their sta
ture to that of less than men. 1t
makes them unpredictable. The
schools can, if they will, provide a.
gainst this, and it is their duty so
to do. One who knows the rah rah
spirit of the American college
might well question whether that
institution is not better prepared
rather to promote the enslavement
to emotions than to discourage it.
