Boys Run All The Way Home
From School

Little girls are not far behind,
either. in the race to get home at
noon, when mothers announce
that golden-fried Fishsticks will
be waiting for lunch.
The crunchy, golden outside
crust and the tender, moist flakes
of delicious fish inside have a
special appeal to young appetites.
Mothers are grateful, too, not
only for the nutrition packed
into this new 4-Fishermen treat,
but also for the fact that it's so
easy to fix.
No defrosting necessary. No fry
ing pan needed. Just pop into
preheated broiler and s minutes
later (15 minutes, if you use pre-
heated oven), 4-Fishermen Fish
sticks are ready to serve.

that ANY general acceptance of

Finally, culture would never
survive the machine. Mechan-

stroy us 50 that we wouldn't be
able to think for ourselves, or
even amuse ourselves.
A recent study of expendi-
lures on leisure time activities by
the Department of Commerce
indicates that we are deserting
passive, standardized entertain
ment for recreations which draw
on our individual ingenuity. In
1929, for instance, we spent 23.8
per cent of our recreation budget
on movies, theaters and specta-

amusements get only 1875 per

We have devoted a lot of space
in these columns to the question Of
fiuoridation.
But we have neglected to men,
ton, among other things, a pro-
gram new to Key West which one
day will undoubtedly play great
part in saving lives.
I'm speaking Of the Walking
Blood Donor program sponsored
by the Monroe County Blood Bank
Committee.
They have set up shop in LOUIS
Radio and Appliance Store on Du-
val St., and are tipping blood of
volunteers daily from 4:30 to 6
pm.
Response from Key Westers for
the first few days of the program
has been slow, probably due to the
fact that they aren't exactly sure
of what the program amounts to.
The idea is to set up a central
file listing the blood types of as
| many local residents as can be
persuaded to participate.
Then, if the occasion arises when
you may want to give blood to help
an ill friend or relative, there will
be no delay in ascertaining your
blood type. The file will be kept by
the Monroe County Health Depart
ment and the police department
will have access to it for emergen'
cies.
/ stopped up to Louis Tuesday to
see what was going on. There was
an efficient staff of volunteer reg
listered nurses on hand to admins

A Grain
Of Salt

Perhaps if fair value was plac-
ed. on this idle earth its sales would
fall along the path of utilitarian
philosophy.
This is not to criticize the tactics
of the job of anyone. Private work
ing salaries in Key West are not,
by any means, the highest in the
nation. However property prices
item value rate is in the highest
category. A definite balance is nee
ed.
Surely, there is reasoning behind
the fact that private money does
not come into Key West as it does
in other South Florida towns.
A Prominent Key Wester told
me that our Island could not be
compared with another city. eve
have Island thinking here" he said.
I am not an advocate of public
housing. However, as it now stands
we will be needing more housing
units like the George Allen and
Porter projects before long.
Instead of seeing more housing
projects being built, l would favor
seeing the development of private
homes that could be purchased by
low income families with a small
down payment.
Perhaps some of our so called
protectors of the poor and old peo-
pie should put their efforts behind
proposal to let the average citi-
zen start paying for their own
homes.
The Key West citizen., 1954-10-21
By Bill SpiIIman

Is Key West a progressive town?
Sometimes, / have my doubts.
Take for example, the case in
which residents of south Florida
towns can purchase homes with a
low down payment. This is feat
virtually impossible in Key West.
A friend of mine explained that
it was because of a lack of land
in Key West. I am not so sure
that this is the reason. There are
plenty of vacant lots in Key West
including 665 acres of un-subdivid-
ed property. True, most of this
land needs filling. Most of the lots
just under the 5000 square feet
minimum required by the FHA and
private loan agencies for homes.
One of the first steps in build
ing home is to buy a lot. If you
have looked for a lot in Key West
you will find that they run from
about $1,000 to $1,000 in residence
areas.
1t would seem to me that the
reasoning behind the lack of de-
veloping land and homesteads in
Key West for people in the $500 a
month income bracket is very ba-
sic.
Key West in my estimation is
noted for having low values set on
property for tax purposes. This is
very good for the large property
owner. 1t allows him to hold vast
areas of land with low taxes until
high sale price can be obtained.

TALLAHASSEE 1-The latest
registration figures show that the
Republicans are gaining on the
Democrats In Florida, but they've
still got a long way to 60.
Secretary of State Gray reported
Monday that 1859, ,7so Floridians
are registered to vote in the Nov. .
general election.
That's a gain of o,242 over 1852.
Registration by Democrats have
gone up slightly from 1,215,0s5 TO
1,215,775 while the Republicans
have gained from 116,7el to 136.-
376.
In the First and Seventh districts
where red-hot congressional cam
paigns are being waged, Democrats
outnumber the Republicans con-
siderably. But there, as elsewhere,
party lines have been crossed reg
ularly In recent years.
In the First District composed
Of fernando, Hillsborough, Pasco
and Pinellas counties, the Demo
Gratis registered 9,314 to 1881
for the Republicans.
Democrats have an even wider
margin of strength in the Seventh
Hardee, Highlands, Manatee, Polk

are Democrats 1,139, Republicans

Oasside Of these districts there's
little to attract a big turnout on

be in the governorship contest be-
tween Democrat Leroy Collins and
Republican J. Tom Watson, and
in seven proposed constitutional
