BIG CITIES HAVE FIAsCoEs

The big city slickers" are inclined to
laugh at what they consider the feeble eff
forts of their country cousins to be up-to-
date.
The comic strip artists take their
good-natured digs at the rural citizens and
the hamlets that do the best that they car,
considering the small amount OF money
available for improvements. .ss.g
1t sometimes happens, however that
the best equipment does not work and the
most technical devices fail to function. IL
Illustrating this, the other day, passengers,
spectators and employees at New York 5 air
port were thrcwn into confusion when the
fire alarm system at the airport gave off a
series of siren and bell alarms for full five
minutes.
Fire-fighting apparatus rushed to the
airport, police patrol cars speeded to the
scene and everybody was running around
hunting the excitement. There wasn't
any; just short circuit IL the alarm nc
chanism 1t was almost as bad as small
town affair!

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Since man is ever anxious to ascertain
the uncertain the public continues to be
interested in the probable outcome of the
election in November.
Considerable interest is taken in the
surveys conducted by the American IN
stitute of Public Opinion which, in its
second report, says that eli the election
were held today Mr.. Willkie would carry
twerty States, with 2S4 electoral votes,
and President Roosevelt would carry
20 States with PAT electoral votes.
The first survey gave Mr.. Willkie
twenty-fOur States and 304 electoral votes.
Both surveys gave Mr.. Roosevelt popular
vote lead, 81 per cent against 40 for the
Republican nominee.
We think the surveys are interesting
and reflect accurately the conditions found
by investigators. They are subject to a
possible error not exceeding plus or minus
four per cent, according to DR.. Gallup con-
ductor of the poll. Removing all States
within these limits subtracts II electoral
votes from the Roosevelt total and 125
from the Willkie total.

SAFETY FIRST!

The City of Key West has again come
to time of reckoning in regard to traffic
safety, and, as a result of lax observation
of laws governing the safe driving of auto
mobiles on the city's streets, the police de-
partment announced last week tina, a
Safety Drive had been inaugurated.
The Citizen is in accord with ~this
drive. Too often lately, it has haA6 30
record in its news columns the sad talestof
accidents, caused in the main by drivers
who have disregarded one or another of
the traffic laws.
As announced, automobile owners will
be called upon to keep their cars in good
running Order-nO more faulty lights or
brakes, or tire-treads too thin for public
safety. Speeding and reckless driving is
going to be especially checked and stop
ping at stop signs on through streets will
be insisted upon. In other wOrds-Obey
the traffic laws, you drivers, if you want
to keep without the clutches of the law.
While we're on the subject Of traffic
safety, county authorities might do well to
investigate ways and means to cut down on
the number of accidents occurring on the
Overseas Highway.
A number of accidents on the highway
have occurred lately and there is danger
that news of these mishaps may cause
prospective visitors to the Island City to
pause to reflect upon whether or not the
drive can be negotiated with safety
Until such time as we can obtain the
extension of the highway over the old rail
road right-Of-way Git may not be long now
there are portions of the road that, to the
uninitiated, are quite dangerous, especially
on rainy days and nights. Key Westers
know the road and regular visitors drive
with caution, yet even some of these meet
up with accidents
Increased patrolling OF the highway,
outside the limits of the Bridge District,
where practically no accidents have Oc-
cured, would be one step that could be
taken FatrOlmen act to cut down excess
sive speeds and warn strangers of danger
spots. Better markings or the road, too,
would be a help.
These are Drive Safely" days in Key
West. Let's make the move one of county
wide Importance. We would like to see
Monroe County entered on the list of
minimum accident counties.

naval forces. are the backbone of

/ Next is the Organized Re
serve. Like the National Guard,
it is composed of men willing to
perform annual training so that
they will be available for imme-
diate mobilization.
Then there is the Volunteer
Reserve, mostly composed of spe-
cialists qualified by experience to
help the Navy in technical and
professional fields, where this
experience can be of value to the
organization.
There is also the Merchant
Marine Reserve. These are the
men now serving on merchant
vessels. who in time of emer-
gency would serve largely on
those same vessels engaged in
naval service, such as supply
ships, etc.
The Rear Admirals in charge
of the nine Bureaus help the
, Chief of Naval Operations run
the Navy.
There is still one branch that
can't be overlooked in running
the Navy. That is the Marine
Corps. This component of the
naval service exists primarily to
, support the fleet. but in case of
national emergency the marines
ere called on for any duty.
Members of the Marine Corps
ere really seagoing soldiers re-
epcnsible to the COMMANDMENTS
Chief.
OF course, there must be a
large establishment ashore to
keep the fleet afloat. and ready
for anything. The National De
Tense Advisory Commission helps
the shore stations get what the
fleet needs1in steel in machinery,
in fuel. in arms and ammunition,
in food and clothing.
That takes considerable looking
ahead, for when the fleet goes in
to action, and it is discovered
that there isn't enough silk avail
able for the powder bags for the
big guns. the Commander can't
call up the enemy and say,
Would you pardon us for
month till we can send back to
Paterson. New Jersey, and get a
few more supplies" The neces-
sary supplies have to be there.
and the National Defense Adj
visOry Commission is helping the
Navy get them there when
needed.

text is interesting, and reads: Resolved,

How many stoves are there IN
Buttons town hall? That was the
question that arose Monday night as
the town council discussed proposal
to install central heating system
for the building. Just in case you
are ready to start guessing, We'll
tell you that there are more than a
dozen.
"How many stoves are there in the
building?" queried one of the coun-
Gilman casually-Mayor w. A. Howe
looked bit startled and admitted he
didn't know-neither did any of the
councilmen.
Marshal Lee Coon who knows

answer at hand but thought he could
figure it out-and so he started
counting and finally arrived at the
astonishing figure of thirteen.

Mosquito LarUae
Watch Kept Here

Buttons municipal mosquito con-
troll committee is modified for i'm
mediate action, awaiting first reports
of mosquito larvae in local streams
and ponds.
Mayor Wilbur Howe told the town
council Monday night that control
activity will be launched by the COM
mittee as soon as larvae make their
appearance. A close watch is being
kept for the "wrigglers" and every
precaution will be taken to prevent
them reaching the adult mosquito
stage.
First larvae are expected to ap-
pear in the lagoon on the Bluffton
college campus, but members of the
committee also are Systematically
checking the water in Big and Little
Riley creeks.
No indications of larvae have been
discovered as yet, but oil sprayers
are available for use as soon as
there is need to go into action, the
mayor said.
BY killing mosquitoes in the larvae
stage there is the likelihood adult
mosquitoes will be quite rare in
Bluffton this summer, and if every
resident of the town cooperates in
the program by carefully checking
his own premises regularly the
chances of success are that much
greater, Mayor Howe declared.
