WORLD RECOVERING
The United States isn’t the only coun-try that is experiencing the trend towardrecovery. During the second quarter of1933 there was a marked upturn in com-modity prices in many parts of the world,according to a survey made by the Couneilon Foreign Relations. Most impoftnat ad-vances have been made in this country, inFrance—the sole major nation left on thegold standard—and in Great Britain, whosemanaged currency policy has been thecontrolling factor in the rise. Other coun-tries to show advancement include Austra-lia, Canada, Austria, Belgium, Germanyand Switzerland. In the first half of 1933,British prices were steadier than those ineither this country or France. This marksa drastic change from conditions in 1931and 1932, when British price fluctuationswere often extremely violent.
This price question is keeping many acitizen awake nights. His problem *is:When will income increase in proportionto rises in the price level? The answer tothat is still a question mark. Bulk of Amer-ican wage-earners, particularly those inthe white-collar class, will have to waitsome time yet before business conditionswarrant any substantial advances in theirearnings. , x he present recovery drive,as is natural, has little to do with thosewho have incomes in the high or middlebrackets. It is concentrated on helpingthose who are in the lower-brackets orhave no income at all. Major effort isgiven to manufacturing new jobs and thatcannot long be done, until there is stabili-zation of commodity costs on a higher level.Cost of living has advanced materially inthe past few months; most marked advanc-ers are still in the future.
MAKE IMPROVEMENTS NOW
Definite benefits to the public will re-sult from the government’s program to loancommunities money on self-liquidating un-dertakings.
Bridges are being built, sewage dis-posal plants that will save contaminationof rivers, are to be constructed, and manytowns and cities are receiving getter fireprotection through the addition of badlyneeded fire apparatus.
Such expenditures are really the high-est type of self-liquidating enterprisesbenefiting the greatest number of people.
Take adequate fire protection, for ex-ample, furnished by a well organized firedepartment equipped wiljh standard ap-paratus. It is priceless when your placeis on fire, and if your place never burns, itsaves you money every day on taxes, in-surance, etc.
From the standpoint of fire protection,it is important that towns and cities rea-lize the long period over which money canbe borrowed for public improvements, thelow rate of interest charged and the 30 per-cent discount which the government giveson the repayment of the total amount. Forexample, a SIOO,OOO fire department im-provement can be made for $70,000, apply-ing this principle in a general sense.
From the standpoint of giving employ-ment or getting the greatest value for dol-lars spent, there never was a better time'for any community to make needed, self-liquidating improvements.
HUMBLE ORIGINS*
■*■'***• ■■ 1 * i <. -
„It w a strange human trait that in laterlife a man often boasts of the vefy thingsof which he was somewhat ashamed inhia youth. Successful men point withpride to their humble origins, to their earlystruggles and the menial nature of theirfirst employment.
And it is a just cause for pride to haveovercome such obstacles through one’s ownenergy and deterimation. There is nodoubt that the man who has had to fighthis way from the bottom is generally bet-ter off, hard as it may have seemed to himwhile undergoing the experience.
It is equally true that many men failbecause of a false pride which causes themto shrink from humble tasks which mightlead to ultimate success. Henry Ford wasa machinist’s helper, Thomas A. Edisonwas a newsboy, John D. Rockefeller was aclerk, and neither had any early educationto speak of. They and thousands of otherssucceeded because they were not ashamedto toil with their hands until something bet-ter presented itself.
Not every boy can become a Ford, anEdison or a Rockefeller, but every one whois not afraid or ashamed to work can makean honorable and useful place for himself,and he doesn’t have to begin in a “white-collar” job, either.

PEOPLE’S FORUM•••••••••••••••••••••••a|BEAUTIFICATION AT
TRINITY PARK GROUNDS jEditor, The Citizen:
A visit to the grounds of thecolored church on Simonton street,(Presbyterian} shows the import-'ance that this church gives to!the beautification plan for Key*West.
The grounds of the church are)planted with flowers and treesand are kept in first class condi-tion. •
Next to the ground is the play-ground, lent for this purpose onwhich the boys play baseball. Onthis, trees have been planted for°hade. Behind the church, onja small plot donated for this pur-pose a veritable transformationhas been affected.
What was a plot covered withweeds, and used as a dumpingground, a park has been arrang-ed. Weeds have disappeared.Trees and plants have taken theirplace. Tables and seats forwomen and children have beenmade, very rudely, to be sure,but quite strong and solid for out-door use.
Here the women and childrencan gather and enjoy the climate,unexcelled, of Key West.
On Sunday afternoon at 4:30p. m., the park will be opened tothe eotored public. Friends ofbeautification for all, are invit-ed to attend.
For three months the membersof this congregation, with friends,have been preparing a Cantata,in costume which will be givenWednesday evening in the SanCarlos Hall.
Friends who have attended therehearsals state that the fingingon this occasion will be thoroughlyenjoyed by the lovers of music.
So by the fine “arts”, Music,Flowers, Plants and a Club for lit-erature, the Presbyterian churchseeks to co-operate with all whoseek the best things for those whoneed them the worst.
