RED CROSS is BUSY

The American Red Cross is calling on
women to aid again in bringing comfort to
victims of the war by knitting sweaters
and making clothing for the thousands now
destitute and homeless.
Norman H. Davis, national chairman,
has announced that the organization hopes
to send 1877 900 sweaters and $4,000 win
ter dresses to Polish refugees by January
l, the garments to be made by American
women in Red Cross chapters all over the
country
A special delegation went to Europe
last month to survey the most urgent
needs, which they found greatest among
the Poles, driven from their homes and
country by Hitler.
The most dynamic force in the direc-
ton of the American Red Cross is Miss
Mabel Boardman, its general secretary,
who has devoted 40 years to this humani-
tartan work without ever receiving dol
lar of salary. Under her direction the or
CARNATIONS $500 local chapters have been
set up, and the splendid work done during
the World War and since was largely due
to her leadership.
There is no doubt generous response
will be made to the present appeal in be-
half of the unfortunate Polish people.

GRADUALLY. ever SO grad,

GRADUALLY. ever so gradu-
ally, the beautiful white paint
which goes so well in the tropics
is beginning to spread over Key
West. The average tourist who
comes here gets a distinctly bad
first impression. The real beau
ty of the Cape Cod, Bahaman
and Latin architecture of the city
is largely hidden under, graying
surfaces or garish paints. More
and more, though, residents are
turning to white paint. If you
would get a real contrast look
over the beautiful white homes
along Division street between
the entrance to the Boulevard
and White street and then saunt-
er a little further down Division.
A bright, white little city with
gorgeous tropical blooms in the
yards will give good first impress
sions.

DEMOCRACY NOT WIDESPREAD

The people of the United States have
the idea that democracy is making great
strides i'm the Western Hemisphere but the
fact is that, with the exception of the
United States and Canada, and perhaps
enc or two smaller nations, the govern
ments of this hemisphere are not demo-
cratic in the least
This condition arises in part because
the people of many of the Central and
South American nations are not qualified
for democracy The government of the
people cannot function unless the people
have sense enough to make it function. In
view of the difficulties that we experience
in securing good government there is no
wonder that democracy is only an idea in
nations where illiteracy is widespread.

ARMISTICE DAY IN KEY WEST

Key West tomorrow will observe Ar
mistice Day. 1t should be a memorable
day in Key Vests history, for compre-
hensive and appropriate program of events
has been arranged under the leadership of
Arthur Sawyer Post No. 20 of the Amer
lean Legion. The program gives every OPP
portunity for observing and commemorate
ing the 21st anniversary of the Armistice
that brought the first World War to an
end.
In the forenoon there will be parade
1t will include elements of the United
States army, the federalized National
Guard, the United States navy, the United
States Coast Guard and possibly the United
States Marine corps. The American Legion
has likewise invited all veterans regardless
of their affiliations with any veteran or
ganization, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts
and other civic and patriotic groups to
participate.
At the conclusion of the parade, Ar
mistice Day services will be observed at
Bayview Park There will be fine
speaking program. Among the speakers
will be Army and Navy officials, city Off
Gals, Legionnaires, civic leaders and
clergymen. A silent period in memory of
the men who have died in the country's
service will be observed. Whistles will be
blown, bells sounded. At noon the whole
program will be topped off by salute of
Fl guns-the National Salute-at Key
West Barracks.
The foregoing events are in keeping
with the spirit of the day. When news of
the Armistice was first received by the
soldiers overseas and the civilians at home
there was brief prayer of thankfulness,
a quick intake of the breath, deep STIR
ring of the emotions. Then joy rode up
permost, bursting through the pent emo
tions and breaking forth into wild cele-
bration.
For that reason it is fitting that Ar
thur Sawyer Post should arrange that the
concluding event Armistice Day should
be a grand ball and a joyous floor show at
Key West Country Club. The Legion
naires, from every account reaching The
Citizen, have outdone themselves and
topped all previous social events in their
arrangements for the Country Club affair
From gravity to gaiety; from
solemnity to hilarity. That is life, and
the Legion program tomorrow reflects life
and puts life in the social life of the
community.

We have a peculiar idea of liberty of
speech when Earl Browder, who as the
leader of the Communists in this country,
owing allegiance to Russia first, openly
states that the United States is ripe for
transition to Socialism. and we stand
supinely by. Transition in this connection
: IS the camoufiaged word for revolution.
One of the rights of democracy is freedom
of speech but it should be withheld from
those who seek to destroy that very right.

PEOPLES FORUM
THE DOVE AND
ARMIsTIcE DAY

This is summary from part
of the article on 1.-THE Dove
Symbol bird of good omen, by
D. Goodby in Catholic Digest,
Sept, 1899. Among the pagans
of Mesopotamia white dow 5
were sacred to Ishtar, their god
dess, representing marriage bliss
and productiveness. In Christian
art the dove is the symbol of the
Holy Ghost, purity and inspira-
ton, while in cemeteries on a
slab it is the sign that one has
died in the faith. Among Maho-
metans this bird represents in
SEPARATION from the time that
Mahomet trained a pigeon to
pick seed from his ear. The
dove brought back an olive
branch to Noah in the, ark, so it
is a symbol of peace. In olden
days a golden dove was sus-
pended by a chain over the
altar for the reservation of the
Blessed Sacrament"
"a curious coincidence occur
red at Brownsville, Tex. in 1921,
where on the morning of Nov.
II, snow-white pigeons flew into
the Church of the Sacred Heart
and, perched over a memorial
window, remaining throughout
the Armistice Day service. This
was generally regarded as a
peace representation"
While Europe burns and peo-
pie are slain, may we ever have
the Dove of Peace.

ALONG THE WATERFRONT:

Almost twice as many mackerel
as were caught Tuesday were
brought to port Wednesday by
commercial fishermen of one of
the local fish markets. AS the
news spread by word of mouth
and in print there were many
calls for this delectable member
of the finny tribe. Two boats Of
the commercial fleet have each
reported catches of 100000
pounds of bottom" fish, which
just about means normal condi-
tions along the waterfront al
though rough seas continue.
Years ago there was a good mar
ket for am berjack and barracuda
locally and from vessels making
this a port of call, but fable
began making the rounds con-
corning residents who were poi
soned by these fish and it has
been difficult to sell any since.
However, there are a number OF
Key Westers today who consider
amberjack a delicious dish when
properly cooked, and many con-
tinue to eat barracuda. There is
a certain species of the tiger of
the sea" which is considered poi
son by fishermen but there are
but few of these caught locally.
Oldtime waterfronters claim
practically all, if not all, Key
Westers poisoned by fish were
victims of uncooked seafood.
Edwin ''Old Ropes" Higgs made
an unusual catch yesterday. Cast
ing his line from the side of his
boat it Immediately became taut
and he began to haul it in. In
stinctively turning to watch the
surface OF the water in the vicinity
he noticed his line was not under
water but on top. Yep, he had
hooked an ocean gull. 1t made
a vain effort to free itself, but
was finally boated. Before TAX
ing to the air after being freed,
the gull took a bite at its captor
and today Higgs is nursing a sore
thumb.
