Modern Marriage
Good Dates
|AndGood
Husbands
BY Dr. Paul Popenoe

Here is something every girl
should keep in mind-the fell
low who is a perfect date and
who shows you a grand time
can easily turn out to be a poor
husband. The reason for this
(and most youngsters will find
it hard to believe) is that there
is little relationship between the
good times of the courting pc
riod and the good times of mar
riage.
Those qualities which make a
good date are all right and
every girl may hope that some
of them will survive marriage,
but some of the things that
make a good husband are deep
and far removed from the dance
floor, the moonlight and the
roses.
Audrey comes to me for SYM
pathy because she wants to
marry, but her dates don't seem
to measure up:
"Ill graduate from high
school in June" she explains. II
had to stay out OF, school for a
while when I was i'll as a child,
so I'm older than the other
girls. I want to marry and have
home of my own. OF course,
the boys in my class are not
good prospects-they are just
kids, not even as old as am.

rant, at the dinner hour, all this

went with one Of them for sew
eral months. He was just q
drizzle. I've just about given up
and don't know which way to
turn"

But they went right shooting. Finally the man took

Now that the ferry fiesta, one of
Key Vests greatest celebrations, is
history, we find that there are a lot
of people who worked long and
hard on it but who received no Gre

Ray Knopp and his able heuten-
ants, charterboatmen Johnny West

the advance preparations, but as
the huge fish fry got underway,
there were volunteers from unex-

For example, Knopp, was amaz-

"Pop" Stern, popular proprietor
of Duffy's Tavern, was the man
responsible. Seems he had decided
the party might need some organ
music so he called trucking COM

to the scene.
The organist was the Madman

will continue to draw county money

Another big argument against
the county in favor of National Air

should improve the airport before
they start collecting the increased

The county thinks that an in

Perhaps we have all lost sight
of the fact that the airport is bene-

this in mind, perhaps we should
be a little on the enticing side to

FORT MYERS NEWS-PRESS GOES ASTRAY
WHILE ECHOING MIAMI PAPERS

The Citizen regards the Fort Myers News-Press as
newspaper that strives be fair and Just and would
not deliberately color editorial the least bit to dsort
facts.
Recently, the News-Press an editorial that was
not based on facts 1t about that acreage on the Flor
Ida Keys that the Overseas Bridge Commission gave back
to the people OF Monroe County, who had bought it from
the Florida East Coast Railway.
It was plain to that the NewsPress based its ed
tcal on beyaching stories and editorials that had ap
peared In Miami papers.
IL Miami papers called the 1947 Papy BILL which
provided for the transfer of the lands to Monroe County
when the bonds were paid off, a 'local bill" and the
NewsPress echoed the same CHARGE whereas the bill was
general bill.
2. - Echoing the Miami papers still further, the
Newress said that the lands bought from the rail-
road by the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District but
like the Miami papers did not say how the district got the
money to buy the Monroe County taxpayers got
that money from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
by pledgng their properties, including their homes, to
lquidate loan of $S,700,0OO.
s. But the News-Press made one statement that
not even the Miami papers dared to make It said resi-
dents OF Monroe County got free ride on the highway
while residents elsewhere the state and tourists had to
pay tolls Year after year. Monroe residents paid tolls
up to within few months Of when tolls were discontinued
for everybody.
a. - The News-Press says the original act provided
the Highway and the lands should be returned to the
state when the bonds were paid off, The original act did
not provide Tor any such thing Governor Johns State
Treasurer Larsen and Comptroller Gay comprising the
State Board of Administration were familiar with the
ndenture and everything else pertaining to the pur
cnase OF the acreage in question: and that why they

line and waste oil into the sewer.
Any petroleum product, he said,
raises havoc with the only type
of joint compound suitable for a
sewer project. 1t causes the com.
pound to deteriorate and the re.
suit is a leaky system.
It's a real problem in Key West,
he said.
But engineers have been unsuc-
cessful in their efforts to learn
where the oil is coming from. A
survey by Fire Inspector Arthur
Curry has shown that local garage
owners are cooperating admirably
in keeping waste out of the sewers.

is coming from Key Westers who
buy oil for their cars in bulk and
make their own oil changes.

tem," he cautioned.

If the negotiation relations be-
tween the county and National Air
lines are an indication of things
to come if the city and county gov
ernments are combined perhaps,
we should leave the present condi-
ton as is.
The city commissioner have been
criticized for having many SQUAD
bles at their meetings. Whether
this criticism is justified or not,
l do not know, but at least 1t is
out in the open.
The smoothness of the county
commission meetings is attributed
to the fact that they iron out diff
culties in private caucus meet
ings instead of in front of the pub
lie. This may be he right or wrong
thing to do.
1t seems that one of the county
commissioners wanted to give IN
completely to the airline.
There are two sides to the air
port question. Many people are dis

One of the side questions, is SIS
Wilde Worth II?
II was answered by man who
seems to be in on the inside. He
said that Wilde is an ex-CAA man
and knows all the ins and outs
of the airport business. They say
that he alone is responsible for Key
West obtaining half the federal
money allotted to Florida for Mea-
cham Field improvements, when
81 other airports were trying to
get portions of the money. If true,
it would seem that Mr.. Wilde has
the connections to be worth the
money.

City Plumbing Inspector Harry
Alsing is getting the kind of kick
ing around we always thought was
reserved for newspaper reporters.
He's being accused of discrimina-
ton because he's doing the job the
way the book says it should be
done.
Harry has had years of expert
ence as a master plumber and he
is stickler for adherence to the city
code.
Some people don't like that and
they are trying to get him in trou-
BILE.
They'd like to see him lay off a
little.
But he won't. He's got a thick
skin and he'll weather this storm
just as he did a SIMILAR one a cou-
pie of years ago.
And another point - Harry is
going to need some help real soon.
Within the next few weeks, he'll
have to attend to the myriad de-
tails of supervising the installation
of some $500 sewer connections.
All that, along with his regular
work, which is not inconsiderable
with the current building boom
here.
We seem to remember that City
Manager Victor Lang fought long
and hard to have funds included
in the budget for an assistant to
Alsing. He didn't get them. Now
Lang will have to scratch around
and find some money to pay an
assistant, as soon as the city COM
