GRADUATES SEEK JOBS!

Many of the graduates at Key West
High School and the Convent of Mary I'm
maculate will go on to schools of higher
education, but it is very likely that
majority of them will seek to enter bust
ness or professional life. In other words
they will be looking for jobs. What can
the merchants of Key West do to assist
ihcAl in their search?
This first job is most important to the
graduates, and, as rule, the most difficult
to obtain because employers usually wish
to employ only experienced young peO-
pie. It can be seen, though, that there IS
no other way for young men and women
TO become experienced except by training
that can be offered in local business estab-
lishments. Here, then, is where business
people of this city can help.
Most of those searching for work
eager to start off on their life's work
will register with the Florida State En-
ployment Services local office One of
the functions of this organization is to adj
wise applicants in regard to their future,
to give them vocational counsel and guild
ance and tC make special efforts to place
them in employment for which their poten-
tial capabilities make them particularly
suited.
The agency has made q recent appeal
to the business people of Key West to look
for possible place for at least one or two
of these graduates. 1t is felt that by so do
ing the employers will be performing a
civic duty that will UNNECESSARILY benefit
the community and, at the same time very
likely, add to ones organization one who
will, in the future, become a valued en-
ployee.
The Citizen hopes that as many bust
ness places as can and will, will call on
the Employment Service office for at least
one of these graduates. 1t seems quite i'm
pOrtant that these young people secure
their start in business life before the edge
of their fine enthusiasm becomes dulled by
disappointment and they become recon-
ciled to the idea of going on government
relief
Let's make this Hire a Graduate"
week in Key West. The graduates, prop
erly trained in theory, are looking to you,
Mr.. Businessman, for an opportunity to be-
come trained practically!

Biggest upset of the entire political
was the failure of Holland to
carry his home county of Polk Though
he carried Barlow, his home city. he lost
the county by 78 votes, in gubernatorial
election, after carrying it four times pre-
-viOusly in races for county judge and state
senator But there is such thing as per-
sOnal jealousy which keeps some people
from voting for man for high office
when they would vote for him for lesser
one. Perhaps the old saying that a pro-
phet is not without honor save in his own
country has considerable truth in it.-San-

Citv election Commissioners and coun

City election commissioners and coun-
ty commissioners make a concession to
slOcal candidates when they permit them
to cite their nicknames on the election bal
lots. Whether this is legal or permitted
elsewhere this writer does not know but
apparently it is practice which should
not be permitted in the future. If candi-
dates have aliases or nicknames they can
make them known to the electors through
advertisements or some form of printed
matter. A nickname takes the place of
the proper or legal name and is given in
jest or derision and should not be made
use of to further identify the candidates
seeking office.
