work right, it is practically all
individual instruction, says the
teacher.
Frances, a sweet little girl in
blue. was trying so hard to make
words come out. She won to the
extent of 18 cards. One by one,
as she saw each card separately,
she would say laboriously-and
always with a smile-"a ball" "a
lamb" "a observation-disclosures" "
and SO on down the line of the
little word card which the teacher
held up before her.
When she had finished, and
was at the door to go, she turned
her head toward teacher, and
said slowly. 'I'll see you-"
Cerebral Palsy Case.
She was indicating her interest

Occupational therapy is new
this year at Health School. An
assignment two days week of
an occupational therapist from
Gallinger Hospital enables this
work to be carried on. The physi-
cal therapy clinic. with its modern
equipment, has great big tubs,
lights, labels and even a three
way "life-size" mirror so that a
child can watch his every move
ment carefully.

the principal. Equipment and ma

parent-teacher contributions.

boys and girls who need them
while a few children get along
without them. And to the very
last man of them, they keep
chins up.
Mary Stewards little verse of
long ago seems especially fitting
for the spirit of this school
"Who enters here must leaue
1Dithout,
AL enpy, malice. gloon, or doubt.
For joy and faith the door stands
,Dide;;
For grief and need there's room
inside"
Each child in this crippled chill
dren's school is taught funda-
mentally to accept his handicap
graciously, to do all he can for
himself, and always to help 9TH
ers as much as he is able. Cere-
bral palsy accounts for a high
proportion of the children's prob
lens; but polio and other Grip
pling conditions are also causes.
Enrolment stands at IS. About
two-thirds are boys.
Assisted on Arrival.
Every school day morning at
8 o'clock, a bell announces arrival
of the first bus load of children
at the door. Promptly, a nurse
and the schools custodian assist
the youngsters off the bus, up the
ramp, and down the halls to their
various classes. Some few walk
alone.
Physical needs necessarily are

CITY FACES TAX
Nontinued From Page one.

N~ohtlIlueo From Page One.
City Commission realized that
they had made an unfortunate
move. They publicly stated that
the matter would be reconsider
cd,
The $5.6e2.ss given to the
owners of VIM. Curry Sons
was already budgeted. The
city will be short this exact
amount at the end of their
fiscal year. unless they find
some other tax revenue.
Why did the city single out
this particular property to re-
ceive tax attachments, to the ex-
clusion of all other delinquent
lands?
Let's look back at the record!
On February Is, 1948, VIM.
Curry Sons Co, sold for $4,000
to AL. & c. S. Luce. So Adams
must have gained control of the
property after that date. There
fore if there were any rebates,
the money should go to the own
ers of the land during the years
OF wrong assessments, not to
present owners.
On September Is, 1913. City
Manager Ralph Spalding had
this advice to give to delinquent
taxpayers 1T would be good
business practice for delinquent
taxpayers to settle their tax bills
as early as practicable thus
avoiding penalties and costs"
The city had just won a suit
against the Key West Realty
company who were complaining
about assessments, and had taken
their grievances to court.
May II. ls48. The Citizen
carried a three column head
line on page one. 1t read.
"Abating Taxes is Vicious"
states Collector Roberts. The
sub-head continued: City
Commissioners told that pro-
posed compromise would de-
stroY tax structures"
Spalding commented on this
rebate, but not on the Curry
Sons one. Said Spalding: If
these property owners were al
lowed to get compromise deals,
the city would lose thousands of
dollars"
Mayor A Maitland Adams and
Commissioner Harden opposed
the compromise. The taxes to be
rebated were intended for Lawr-
ence HiggS, Lot II, So. 4, TT 4.
In the same story. City Tax
Collector Archie Roberts said
that when he took office in
February /. 1916 there were
taxes unpaid amounting to
S366.o99.44. Now that taxpaY-
ers know they must pay their
taxes or their property will be
sold. only $28.699.77 or 259
parcels remain unpaid.
But the clinching argument, if
any were needed to prove that
the giving of $5.682,95 is not
proper comes from an issue of
March Is, l948.
A two-column front page head
line in The Citizen reads: City
won't cut taxes of Casa Marina
Hotel" Sub-head follows; Com
mission determines it would be
illegal to reduce assessments
on hostelry."
Who opposed the reduction on
the grounds that it was illegal?
Both Mayor A. Maitland Ad-
ans and City Commissioner
Louis Carhonell.
The Church of God asked that
the taxes be removed from the
Ida Goldstein property Gold
stein had agreed to sell the land,
the taxes were can
celled.
A unanimous motion by all
present commissioners ordered
the City Attorney to start suit
at once. Foreclosure suit was
started. but the delinquent tax
uaver hurried in and paid his

Little Girl Saws
Her Mother Lives
In Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA.-(P).-It's a
bit late for an Easter story-but
this one Just came to light and
wants telling.
An eight-year-old girl walked
into a Western Union office in
Philadelphia and announced that
she would send an Easter greet
ing to her mother. Supplied with
paper, the child devoted about
ten minutes to composition, and
came up with the phrase:
Just wanted to tell you a
happy Eas'er signed. your loving
daughter"
The clerk then asked the girl
what the address should be. And
there was no doubt about that.
The child said:
Mrs. Sal Giano, home, Phila-
delphia"
Where else would NOM live
except home?
