night but it took long time, and was brought
about through the savings of thousands OF small
depostors
We would like to know how many business
men got their start through the savings bank;
how many families own their homes; how many
young people have gone through college, and how
many hospital and medical bills have been met by
persons simply spending just little less than
earned, and putting the difference in the savings
bank
If you have not acquired the savings bank hab-
it, now is good time to begin. Cut down your
spending just little-especially when it comes
to things called "luxures"-or for having So
called good time BY so doing both you and
your pocketbook will become healthier, and your
health and financial credit improved.

FIREMEN'S FESTIVAL

With the Morgan county fair for 1910 soon to
be thing of the past, the next big countrywide
event will be the annual hremen's festival. The
proceeds of the festival are to be turned over to
be used by what we all know to be the best and
most efficient volunteer fire company to be found
any place.
More and more have our hremen demonstrated
their usefulness and efficiency throughout the
county; and the people of the entire community
rest easier of nights knowing that in times of
fire drownings, or accidents they can call for
assistance from an organization whose members
will respond at any hour of the day night,
and in all sorts of weather-willing efficiently,
and without price, and who forget the
Christmas cheer they spread Since the scope of
their usefulness is extended to different, and new
sections of the county and every
year, so is the enthusiasm for this organization
extended and every indication is that this season
the Firemen's Festival is going to rival the very
successful one of year ago.

DIR. LOUIS MARK ADDRESSES
ROTARY GATHERING
Continued from page one)

so years ago practically every pa
tient who had appendicitis died.
Even the all important matter of
sterilization was not understood
until about 1900. The first lung
was not collapsed until 1884; the
X-ray 25 years ago was very
crude affair. and only in more re-
cent years has radium been used
in treatment. During this period,
when the science of medicine was
making seemingly such progress,
the electric lights were replacing
gas lamps in our homes and the
lighting of Our streets. Tracing the
two sciences on down the speaker
stated only a few years back did
they begin to operate on the lungs
discover how to combat diph-
theria. scarlet fever, measles, tu-
berculosis, and many other diseases
which took such heavy toll in hui
man life. This was also the Pc
riod when the airplane, and the
radio came into prominence and
practical use. DR.. Mark brought
out in his talk that just as many
people have tuberculosis today as
in the past, but also that it has
been not by treatment alone that
its toll of life has been greatly
lessened but in knowing how to
prevent it-in seeing that the vic
Tins are removed from the homes
in which it developed, and it is not
science and medical science seemed
to be just beginning. 1t was not
until the year 1882 that the tu-
berculosis bacillus was discovered.
Speaking of surgery he stated that
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1940-09-12

alone the skill Of the physician
and modern medical science that
the death rate can be reduced, but
through the cooperation of the pub
lie. Of pneumonia, Dr. Mark said
the death rate has been reduced
one-third in the past two years, and
believes that very soon it will be
eliminated. Heart disease is on the
increase and the speaker explain
ed as the cause that since medical
science has been developed the av-
erage span of life has been greatly
increased, and few deaths occur
from disease which few years ago
took such a heavy toll among young
people, and since heart disease is
generally speaking not a young
persons disease, more people of
middle life are it's victims. In 9TH
er words many people of today who
die of heart disease, would have
died when young the victims Of
some other disease had it not been
for medical science.
DR.. Mark spoke of cancer, and
while it has not yet been conquer
ed, he said considerable progress
is being made, and in time will be
eliminated. AS to the advance of
surgery the speaker said that any
more it is no trick to operate on
the heart; simple operation to re-
move one lung, or kidney, or any
other organ in the body where
there are two, and make the re-
naming one do the work of both.
AS to what the future offers, DR..
Mark believes we have scarcely
scratched the surface, and that the
progress in both modern and medi-
cal science will make even greater
progress in the next 25 years than
in a like period of the past" moth
ing today" he said seems impossible
when we consider as an example
that we have airplanes with speed
of hundreds of miles per minute"
People will wonder with medical
science advancing what people will
die of in years to come, and when
treatment for the present diseases
DIR. Mark said there will be new
diseases spring up, just as today,
giving as an example, tularemia-
just few years ago was not heard
of.
Mrs. Mark told of the ''Nightin-
gale Cottage of Columbus of
which she is a trustee, and was
established about II years ago as a
preventorium for the poor children
who are neither sick nor well, but
who need care and treatment. The
money is raised to carry on the
work there, which is by voluntary
subscription. While this home is
by private contributions,
We as taxpayers can assist in the
care of the sick through few ex-
ira cents in taxes.

Key West Players Return To
FOOtlights Thursday With Plays

On Thursday night of this
week the Key West Players re-
turn to the footlights, presenting
three, one-act plays. These have
been in rehearsal for a month
and are in finished state, promis-
ing good acting and entertain
ment.
The first is the Cranberry Tri-
angle, and, as the title implies,
the plot concerns the eternal tri-
angle, two men and a woman in
this case. The treatment is fresh
and essentially comic.
Jerry BOgart returns from the
wars to find his wife, Mrs. White,
entangled with the other man,
Mr.. Carleton.
The "Undercurrent", which is
serious in theme, deals with the
forces which sweep a girl from
her home into the streets. James
Gerberding, whom you remem-
Der from "Squaring the Circle,
plays the deeply religious, but
tyrannical and domineering ia
Their. who unknowingly is wreck
ing his daughters life, and from
whom she escapes.
The final play, "The House of

Cards, is exciting. There are
but two seen actors, Dick Craig
and Theone Floyd, but doors
open and close and the atmos-
phere is full of past conflicts and
danger. The ending is definitely
a surprise and will leave the audi
ence with emotions aroused.
The scenery for the three plays
has been largely designed and
built by the Players themselves.
Those most active with hammer
and saw have been Doody Nor
gan, Jerry Bogart, Jim Gerberd-
ing, William Pettingill and Bill
MunSon. The posters were con-
tributed by the Key West Art
Center students and lettering
was done by Ensigns Schroeder
and Craig Mary Morgan has de-
signed the program and was adj
vertising manager of that end of
the production.
Tickets will be on sale at the
door and are unreServed. The
Players announce that only per-
Torrance of the plays will be
given, on Thursday, this despite
the many, repeated calls for a
second performance of "Squaring
the Circle.

THE LOWDOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE

You see people rushing up and
down the country-in lather-
about our migrant problem, and
trying TO tell us why il happened
and how dreadful it is-and how
to cure it.
If you was to- take them too
serious, you would get the idea
that a spring zephyr and some
dust was something brand new
something just invented-some-
thing terrible. You might get
the idea that the wind just ups
and blows people right smack out
of Kansas and Oklahoma and
clear into sunny California.
From the Dust Bowl to the
Rose Bowl. you might say, if you
was comically inclined. / have
been around Kansas and Okla
hOma, and the better you are ac-
quainted and the more you know
about these places, the less you
know about a Dust Bowl.
But people have to get elected
and lots of things are con-
cocted. But it is like poking
around in a bee-hive-you can
always divert few, and any
body who has been around a dis
turbed bee knows that II only
takes a few to start a problem
Yours with the low down,

SEVEN JUSTICES

Editor. Key West Citizen
Key West, Fla.
Dear Sir:
AS President of the Florida
State Bar Association l am writ
ing to submit for your considera-
ton some facts pertaining to the
amendment of our constitution
providing for a seventh Justice
of our Supreme Court, which
will be balloted upon by the peo-
pie of Florida at the General
Election next November.
We need seven Justices in or
der to work out the impossible
situation of three to three deci-
sionS now existing and also to
aid in expediting the work of our
court.
Our Supreme Court decides
more opinions per judge than any
Supreme Court in the United
States and their docket is run
ming nearly year behind. The
seventh Justice would permit a
division of the Supreme Court in
to two divisions thus splitting up
the work This would greatly
benefit the citizens of Florida and
prevent delays of justice.
Twenty years ago six justices
of the Supreme Court could de-
eide the cases presented to them
without difficulty. Since that
time Florida has grown so rapid
ly in population and business
has increased to such an extent
that it is now impossible for six
justices to decide the cases
brought to them without over
work and undue delay.
Florida is a progressive state.
The population and business are
constantly increasing. Legal de-
lays in our Supreme Court may
tend towards checking the de-
velopment of our state unless
they are remedied and l know of
no better way to remedy the Sit
uation than to provide for a
seventh justice, which will re-
suit in greater output of work,
thus bringing the docket up to
date, and providing more speedy
decisions for our citizens.
l trust that you will use the
Influence of your paper to bring
home to the people of Florida the
absolute necessity of the adoption
of this seventh Justice amend
ment Business men and in fact
all citizens of Florida cannot af-
ford to continue to tolerate long
delays in Supreme Court pro-
cedure. This can be remedied
very promptly by adopting the
seventh Justice amendment per-
hitting the division of the Court
into two divisions.
Yours very truly,
D. H. REDFERN,
President.
