Steering a bold and dauntlcss

Fearing no storm nor tide.
Our Wilson is like a shepherd
Who gathers lis into the fold,
Leading to pastures rich and fair
In knowledge, not in gold
tHere the bugle call, TO the Col
ors' will be sounded by a trumpet
or and the last verse will be given
the music changing tempo and
mood
And we are like an army,
Marching not to strife,
But ever, always onward
To richer, fuller life.
Both the song and music are the
result of cooperative effort and not
OF single individuals.

GUARDING OUR HEALTH

How much one should worry about
his health has been the subject for many
arguments Some hold that a periodical
physical examination should be taken with
a view to discovering any incipient dis
eases. Others believe that such examina-
tons tend to make person think too much
about his health and that the consequent
worry is worse than letting nature take its
course.
A recent radio lecturer on heart dis
ease, which is at present the most deadly
of all ailments, suggested a middle course
While he ADVOCATED periodical physical ex-
aminations, he warned his listeners not to
take them too seriously. Because, as he
pointed out, many, persons live for dozens
of years with heart trouble and finally die
of something else.
But as he further stated, the fact that
one is concerned about his heart may
cause him to adopt a mode of living which
will not tend to ease his heart strain, but
will be beneficial to his general health as
well. The same principle applies to other
chronic diseases.
Concluding, he repeated the sage adj
vice of Sir William Osler, who said, in
substance: IF you would live long, get a
nice chronic disease and nurse it,

RESTORATION OF THE NAVAL
STATION

Last week The Citizen carried con-
fident announcement by Representative j.
Mark Wilcox that activity would be re-
stored to one of Key Vests notable waste
places-the Naval Station.
1t is with justifiable satisfaction and
some measure of pride that The Citizen
halls this manifestation of a break in the
clouds that have so long afforded us but
a gloomy outlook The successful accom-
plishment of this project marks the attain
ment of one Of the detectives for which
The Citizen has striven long and earnestly
and refu3ed to be discouraged in it's striv-
ing.
Il told them,' Mr.. Wilcox is quoted
as saying, ''if they didn't want it, to give
it to some other agency that did and if no
UGH agency could be found, then to give
it back to the city. Of course, they said
they didn't want to do that
Key West can readily understand that
the government is not likely to relinquish
this splendid property with its possibilities
for usefulness without ar equal on the
coast.
Having brought the matter to point
where some decision is plainly called for,
Mr.. Wilcox has qualified as being really
a representative of his people. No adj
mini .traton could be so obtuse as to con-
tinue to let this extensively improved prop
erty "go to seed and no use can be made
of it that will not mean men doing actual
constructive work and getting paid for
doing it.
The Citizen regards economic waste
as a crime against the public welfare. For
that reason it welcomes the move that our
representative has made
A situation exists here that would be
ridiculous if it were not tragic.
city forced out of the customary
channels of its economic existence becomes
the reluctant recipient of hated charity,
and millions of dollars are spent to no pur-
pose except the maintenance of life on
the barest terms of existence
While this goes on, there has lain idle,
as in this case of the Naval Station OPP
that was spent for labor would result in
permanent increase in the tangible assets
Of city and nation.
The low wages that our people have
been receiving have not given rise to as
much criticism on the part of the workers
themselves. as has the fact that they felt
that their work was being wasted
Restoration of the naval base and all
other government units to activity would
mark the beginning of a wholesome
change in the attitude of the government
toward Key West. And, in several direc~
tons, The Citizen sees indications that the
boondogglng days are coming to ali un-
lamented close and that men will again
work with the satisfaction that comes with
worthwhile accomplishment
To the Hon. j. Mark Wilcox The Citi-
zen extends its thanks and congratulations
and its confident belief that with his aid
we can move on toward one after another

is used to pay farmers for producing
little or nothing. In nine of the coun-
ties listed above, 81. 440, 494 is paid, by
the Federal government to 5,l63
farmers for producing no wheat at
allan average of about $3.50 per
farmer. For every farmer in the state,
the average income per farmer. from
wheat raised and from government
allotments combined. is slightly over
$400. In other words. an average
of $3.50 goes to each of these 5.l6S
farmers who produced nothing, as
against an average income of $500 for
all farmers in the state. But that is
not all. In Scott it was $3S9.07; in
Cove it was $355.61; in Hamilton it
was -$326.15. In Greedy County the
farmer who produced no wheat re-
ceived $488 more than the average
farmer of the state received from both
production and allotment.
It certainly would seem that any
one with sufficient common sense to
get along IS an average citizen in this
country ought to be able to appraise
this sort of government carrying on"
for what it really is. To pay people
for producing less Tor nothing) so
that we can pay them more for the
little they do produce is probably
one of the most amazing notions that
has ever gotten abroad in this coun-
try.
The answer of sound economics to
such an indefenSible scheme is very
simple. Those things are considered
beneficial to society which raise the
average standard of living for a
people withou. accentuating inequali-
ties and without otherwise endan-
gering general welfare. This means
increased wealth for distribution
not less of it.
So far as | know there is nothing
in economics which justifies either of
the following two things:
l. To destroy wealth once it is
produced.
2. To pay people for not producing.
Any plan" that employs either of
these two policies is following I'M
economic and indefensible principles
and is definitely working against and
undermining the general well-being
of the nation. Such planners" are
economically illiterate and incompe-
tent.

A wise Greek philosopher once said ::
The way to live forever is to have an in
durable ailment-and treat it WE'LL If
one has disease or tendency to have it,
he will be very careful of his health, in
ducing to longevity. On the other hand if
he feels he is free of any ailment, he will
be careless of his health and perhaps on
that account die prematurely There is
something to the theory of nursing an &C
tual or imaginary disease and longer
life.
