DR.. Wilbur Devilbiss, dean of the

told the educators that schools
must meet the needs of all the
pupils, with their varying problems
and aptitudes, and must teach them
to know themselves better.
Speaking at a session in the field
house of the Dover High School,
he stressed that no two persons are
alike, children differing a great deal
in expectations, qualifications, and
in other aspects.
The pupil should be led to con-
cern himself about the facilities at
his disposal and become an equal
learner with the others, DR.. Devil
bliss said. He further spoke of the
Importance of making the pupils
see themselves as fully-rounded
persons and cited three "R's" aside
from the traditional ones: Respect,
responsibility, and rights.
Population Increase Cited
DR.. George r. Miller, Jr., state
superintendent of public instruc-
tiOn, advised that schools, along
with all other services, must pre-
pare themselves to cope with the
vastly increased population, noting
the group especially of between Z

time when houses must be made
ready to receive winter visitors
from the North, relatives and
friends. Many householders will be
showing off their new houses for
the first time to the folks up North.
Still others are renovating and
redecorating merely because they
plan a heavy season di entertain
ing.
And others tired OF the same
old color of exterior or interior
of the house, have started the
paint up job now. Help is plentiful
in the construction and painting
trade. 1t viii not be later when
the influx Of winter visitors comes
in to take residence as of January
or February.
Dual living, that is house in
Key West, and one in New Eng
land, though it doubles the task
of househoIders, allows them to
express their dual tastes.
For example, If a wife insists
on chintzy flowery patterns in her
living room, she can indulge her.
self to her hearts content in her
Key West house. II on the other
hand, the husband, likes severe
modern in bold, solid colors, he
can indulge that taste in the nor
thern abode.

First Federal
Savings Assn.
Assets Soar

Assets of the First Federal
Savings and Loan Association ol
Key West have scared from $780,
900 last May 6 when it opened
for business to 100000 on DC.
tober 6, it was announced today
by Robert H. Garrison, Executive
Vice President and Secretary.
More than 95 percent of this
growth in savings accounts has
been placed by Key West mem
bers who are savers.
Each day many new accounts
are opening, Garrison says. Cur
rent dividend rate is three per
cent. Interest starts on accounts
the first of each month, If money
is placed in the association by
the tenth of month.
Accounts do not wait, Garrison
said to start drawing interest for
members. Each account is insur-
ed and guaranteed by the Fed.
eral Governments Savings and
Loan Insurance corporation.
Savings placed with the asso-
citation will be loaned on i'm
proved real estate only, secured
by first mortgage.
These first loans have been
limited TO helping purchase
homes already constructed, ne
pairs and remodeling and to re-
finance short term loans.
Some of the members, Garri-
son said, who have placed saw
ings with the association have
had to withdraw their savings
for emergency reasons. No notice
is required on such occasions,
Garrison said. The members re-
ceived their savings merely upon
coming into the office on South
ard street and asking for it.
The executive vice president
stressed that joint savings &C,
counts can be opened for husband
and wife. If either does the ac-
count is not tied up in an estate,
but is available when the surviv.
ing spouse needs it.
| Officers of the First Federal
Savings and Loan association are
elected. They are as follows: Fred
j. Dion, president: Garrison
executive VP; Eugene Anheir,
vice president and treasurer
J. Y. Porter, attorney and direc'
tor; Arthur N. Hughes, director,
Armando cobo, director and Dave
King, director.
