CLEANER ELECTIONS

Many Key Westers are not aware that
they must re-register in order to vote in the
municipal election next November. They
are under the impression that, having reg
isisssd In l945. they will not have to quail
~ again.
That used TO be the practice both in
city and county elections. but in the 1915
legislature Representative Bernie C.. Papy
sponsored a law that required re-registra-
tioa In county and city every four years.
Az that time hundreds of names on
registration books were of residents who
had died. while the names of many more
had left key West to go elsewhere. AS a
RESIST when q registration list was issued
w either county or city it contained many
names Of persons who had not voted here
for many years. When registration list
of five or six thousand, or whatever the
unmher might have been, was issued, it
was safe 60 say that, in each case, more
than one thousand names were those of
forwer. voters.
The re.registratiOn law gave the
county and the city true lists of qualified
voters. u had been easy with the old lists
aad ths ballnt-marking in voting to stuff
hAllot boxes. bat. with the coming of the
ne~ lists, voting machines were installed,
reducing crooked voting to a minimum.
IN addition. everybody who votes now
must sign his name for comparison with his
signature when he registered Of course, a
voter who is bent on repeating may forge
90 try to forge a name, when he uses a
name other than his own in trying to re-
peat hut he runs the risk of being caught
aud sent 10 prison.
elections IN Key West now are cleaner
than they ever have been In the history of
the eay.

DO YOU SMOKE IN BED?

Smoking in bed is one of the more
prolific causes of fire-particularly fire
which results in serious personal injury
and loss of life. Those who have the habit
would do well to read list of "Instruc-
tions to Guests Preparing to Smoke in Bed
which has been posted in the rooms of a
New York Hotel It says:
Il. Call the office and notify the
management where you wish your remains
sent. -.
2 Notify guests in adjoining rooms
of your intention of endangering their
lives, so that they may take necessary pre-
cautions to protect themselves.
''3 Go to the corridor and locate the
nearest fire escape, so that if you are
fortunate enough to escape your room, you
may reach safety.
"A Now sit down and think how fool
ish it is for you to take this risk-you may
enjoy your smoke while thinking it over,
Business may be good but we do not
have guests to burn, so please-Help Us to
Protect You"
Those words cover a lethally serious
problem. And what is true of hotels is
equally true of the home. Remember these
rules next time you feel like smoking in
bed.

The little Harper girl was inn
proving, or so Betty had heard.
He was winning battle IN
which all the odds were against
him. The townspeople had recog-
niRed it and his practice was
growing. The best people in town
were calling Doctor Newton-or
so Aunt Minniebelle said.
Often, on these historical ex-
cursions, Betty and Ellen Ray
mond were accompanied by Lloyd
Edward Shaw, the young Con-

that he's older and more settled.
Evidently the townspeopl e

Jack Barnes was accepted in all
the best homes and was quite
popular with the young people.
