LOW RENTAL HOMES ASSURED

One of the most successful efforts
ever undertaken by a Key West group is
nearing conclusion. That is the campaign
to provide families with incomes below S75
monthly now living in sub-standard dwell
lings with modern, decent and wholesome
housing
Officials of the Key West Housing
Authority have been advised that the
United States Housing Authority at Wash
ingtOn has signed a contract under which
it will loan the Key West group S650,000
to cover part of the cost CT two low-rental
dwelling projects. One project will cover
the needs of 1876 white families, the other
of "a cOlOred families.
Work on the projects is scheduled to
get under way within a few days. The
USHA has allocated $4,000 to cover the
immediate needs of the Key West Housing
Authority. Part of this money must be set
aside for the payment of bills accumulated
by the local housing authority in the prep
aratiOn of preliminary studies of housing
needs here; the preparation of plans to fit
particular sites, and for sundry other ex-
penses necessary to bring about construc-
ton development of that size. The Key
West Housing Authority has been able to
do a big job at very little expense-vir-
tually none at the expense of the taxpay-
ers, for there has been little public money
available for this public Improvement.
Start of work on these projects will
provide a substantial volume of employ
ment here. It will lend size and weight to
the building program already well under
way. 1t will insure good incomes for many
men throughout the summer months. It
will take up some of the unemployment
slack resulting from the reduction of more
than 100 WPA jobs in Key West during
the last two or three weeks
Best of all it will enable 22O families
now living in delapidated shacks, under
generally primitive conditions. to move in
to clean dwellings. 1t will enable the
elimination of many unsightly shacks,
which are a merace to public health and
safety. 1t will improve the appearance of
Key West
All of those who have been identified
with the long struggle of the Key West
Housing Authority for these projects de-
serve the undying thanks of the entire
community.

BOWLING TO THE JAPANESE

News from Tientsin, blockaded by
Japanese soldiers, is that Americans, en-
tering the concessions, must alight from
their cars and bow to Japanese sentries
who search their vehicles and baggage.
Ambassador Grew, at Tokyo, has
made representations to the Japanese for
eign office that Americans are suffering
hardships because of the tight japanese
blockade. which has no standing in inter-
national law
It begins to appear that the only
rights that the people of this country have,
in regards TO the Far East, is to sell Japan
the scrap metal and oil that she must have
in order to keep her war going in China,
where she mistreatS Americans and other
foreigners.

Suburban Neighbors

Gorden Development
Is Worked Out Bringing
Beauty to Buckdrop

How two neighbors in the suburbs,
whose adjoining property terminates
at the rear of the houses in rocky
hillside, worked out an attractive
garden development is illustrated
in the accompanying sketch by
Margaret NOVEL;.
Residence No. faces OH the high
way and residence No. on side
street. This is neighborhood of
attractive houses and lawns, which
means that front entrances and
property facing the street must be
Handicapped with some degree of
formality.
These neighbors have used corner
planting of low evergreens and base
planting around the houses of the
same with a few Towering shrubs
for spring color. The lawn on a
gradually rising grade breaks at
the rear into natural rocky hill
side which terminates 80 in level
spot with an outdoor picnic area
and fireplace.
The natural rock outcroppings
have been helped here and there
with the addition of a lichen-
covered boulder or two and in
planting pockets wild flowers, as
we'll as the usual rock garden plants,
have been tucked in. Beyond this
high spot the property breaks into
natural woodland which makes an
interesting backdrop for the whole
setting. No. are Towering crab
apple trees and aside from these
and the f1agstone steps to the fire.
place. very little change in the nat
ural terrain was necessary to work
out this arrangement from the
trimness of a cement sidewalk to
the informality of natural wood
