fore Congress today = proposed re-
vamping Of the farm loan system

cheney judgments except In cases Of
willful or negligent damage to the

. Government guarantee of all fu-
ture issues of their bonds. This,

The reduction Of Land Bank in
terest rates to their present level,
they declared, was q temporary
measure and could be continued
only by annual appropriation Of
$38 900 900 to make up the contract
rate of S per cent.
Other Objectives.

posal also would:
Provide 4 fair and practical"
method Of refinancing farm mort
cages where the farm debt exceeds
the fair value Of the farm or where

the Land Bank system by increasing
the duties and responsibilities Of
local farm loan associations.
Authorize the collection of loans
on q variable payment system.
Provide for reamortization Of

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

One of the bOttle-necks in this coun-
try's emergency defense program, experts
agree, is the time it takes to train the
skilled workers needed to man expanded
operations in Americas war-related indus
tries.
Leaders of vocational education in
Florida deserve credit for constructive sug-
gestiOns in this regard.
To speed things up, they proposed the
immediate utilization of existing voca-
tional training facilities everywhere in a
co-ordinated, nationwide program of in
tersive instruction geared to defense
needs
On the working out of such a plan,
news dispatches say, official Washington
is now engaged.
Our Florida officials-Colin English,
state superintendent of public instruction,
and Robert D. Dolley, head of trade and
industrial education in this state-cannOt
claim credit for originating the precise
draft of the program now under Congress
sional consideration. The U. S. Depart
ment OF Education was at work on it when
they reached Washington.
In its present form, the expanded
program of vocational education would
more than double the output OF trained
mechanics in this country each year. Some
SOC, 900 are now being trained annually.
Under emergency proposals, an additlonai
100000 would be made available. Costs
would run around S63 100000.
Oddly enough, it takes crisis like
this. sometimes, to wake us up to what IS
already going on.
Did you know that the United States
has a billion-dollar vocational training
plant already operating? That Florida
has going programs in % counties, en-
bracing $4,000 students? We did not!
So the bottle-neck isn't so narrow as it
might be. And on the showing of recent
events, it may be confidently predicted
that Florida will do its part to widen it
still further.

JAYcEES PUSH ONt

Among the top-ranking organizations
in Key West is the Junior Chamber of Com
merce. who will celebrate tonight at an in
stallation-o Officers dinner and dance,
pausing to reflect on the successful year
just passed and, no doubt, laying plans for
the year to come.
There is everything good in the pic
ture of future Key West when an organ
izatiOn like the Jaycees goes through its
initial stages of formation, then, carries on
with added strength in membership and
completion of projects aimed at better
ment of their community. Especially is the
future bright when the makeup of the or
ganization is considered. The name, as it
implies, has to do with activities of our
young businessmen-young men who are
fast approaching the time when they will
have to take up the burden of civic re-
spOnsibility in connection with promoting
worthwhile enterprises that are designed to
push our city forward.
Even as the senior Chamber group is
made up of business and professional men
and women who act constantly to better
their businesses and, thereby, the cOndi-
lions in the city-even so, the young bust
ncssmen members of the Junior Chamber
group gain wide experience in like work,
preparatory to taking up the reigns of civic
well being when they graduate into the
senior ranks.
The Jaycees have done a commend
able job in Key West since their organiza-
ton little over two years ago. The type
Of project handled by this group has been
of such nature, by and large, that many
worthwhile jobs would not have been ac-
ccmplished if they had not been on hand.
That is the general makeup of the Jaycees'
program many times-equipped to take on
work not wanted nor desirable for other
type groups
One of the most noteworthy projects
handled during the last year was the fish
ing tournament. This event will be an an
nual affair in Key West, and commend
able achievement for our young business
men, Other projects have had to do with
widely diversified aims-such as the Get
Cut-ard-Vote' parade held last year, the
Bundle Week which supplied many OF the
city's needy folk with clothes, sponsorship
of the campaign to raise funds to light this
city's White Way, and sponsorship of their
own Boy Scout Troop, not to mention many
other worthwhile projects.
Key West and The Citizen cOmpli-
ment the Jaycees on their fine work. May
their banner of civic betterment continue
to wave over our city.

"The boss" is che who has practically
nothing to do-that is, nothing to do ex-
cept: to decide what is to be done; tell
somebody to do it; listen to reasons why it
should not be done. or why it should be
dore by somebody else, or why it should
be done in a different way; follow up to
see il the thing has been done; inquire why
it has not been done; follow up a second
time to discover that it has been done, but
done incorrectly; consider how much
simpler and better it would have been if
