barriers to the modelling profess

Dear Lonely Lou,
One doesn't have to know FIRE
ends in new city in order to have
fun. Oftimes the new friends viii
prove more refreshing than the old
ones. Try going to church. Be
friendly with your neighbOrs, find
out what kind of people they act

grets. After introduction and >
few visits Won will know whether
they are your type. It's not a good
policy TO spend too much time
alone.
Dear Amelia,
l have been trying for the lasi
two months to convience my hus-
band that my minister is nothing
to me. I ran across him one day
and he brought me home; since
that time 1 have not seen a happy
day. We are of different faiths and
he is advocating my affiliating
with his denomination. 1 have no
desire to change my faith, but do
love my husband. He seems to be
prejudiced against all ministers,
Even though I am not person
that lives in the church l want TO
feel free to go when / feel like it.
Should stop trying to convince
him? This problem has me quite
confused.
Unhappy Wife
Dear Unhappy Wife,
Religious faith should be a per-
sOnal matter; each individual
should be allowed to choose his
own. Perhaps the jealousy issue
is minor; your husband just wants
you to be with him. Have you on
any occasion tried to let him know
how you feel about your own
church? Have you ever been an
nOyed with jealousy before? BY all
means, don't let him lose cOnfid-
ence in you. When confidence
leaves the marriage will never be
the same. Make him know by your
own pleas that you are innocent;
have him know that he can trust
you on all occasions.

SLOWER AND SLOWER"

Unless residents of Key West who are
eligible to vote qualify for the May pri-
maries in much larger numbers than they
have done thus far, the registration list
for the county will be much smaller than
during any other time since the turn of
the century.
The books have been opened since
January and will be closed on April 80,
so that, by Wedne sday, the number of
days for registering will have reached the
halfway mark. And yet only 1900 resi-
dents in the entire county have yet quail
fled. s5
Apathy toward the coming election in
Monroe is confined to KeytWest, with the
exception of Upper Matecumbe At Mara
thon and Tavernier, particularly, regis
tration is good, considering the size of those
places. AS to Matecumbe, few are register
ing because residents there resent having
to go to Tavernier to qualify.
It is Key West, excepting Matecumbe
again. where the worst showing in quail
flying is evident. Slower and slower" was
Supervisor John England's comment yes
terday, and he added: Most of those who
have not qualified will wait till the last
moment, so to speak, before coming to the

THE RED CROSS NEEDS YOUR HELP

Calling attention to the fact that the
American Red Cross, under a congress
sional charter, is extending care and aid
to servicemen in distant areas, treating
wounded and aiding victims Of catastrophe
and always training men and women to
combat sickness and accident, President
Truman has designated the month of
March. 1916, as Red Cross Month.
The organization seeks to raise, by
voluntary contributions, in a nationwide
campaign, a minimum fund of 100000
900 with which to carry on it's work while
the foundations of peace are being estab-
lished and, in it's humanitarian service, to
express the spirit of universal goodwill
which recognizes no barriers in human
welfare In his proclamation, the President
urges every citizen to make the utmost re-
spouse to this indispensable humanitarian
cause r. igo219i aoA'pr II
The Red Cross, one of three national
organizations chartered by Congress, I'M
dertook and successfully, aeonpl ished 3, a;
tremendous task during, the active partlcl-
patton of this war. 1t has many, duties to.
perform if proper attention is to be paid
to our veterans overseas in connection
with our belligerent effort. III addition, it
has long record of rreelief, work. in the
peaceful years of our national existence,
bringing aid, treatment and rehabilitation
10 victims of disaster. 1t also makes it's
contribution to the war against sickness,
accident, suffering and death
We call attention to these things so
that the people of Monroe County will be
advised of the appeal and be prepared to
make a financial contribution which will
enable the Red Cross to carry on its work.
During the war years; there was general
desire to take part in Red Cross work by
a financial contribution if not through
personal service, and this spirit will as
sumo the success of the campaign because
our people are just as anxious to, help suf7
