compose 800 officers and 1000 enlist
ed men. Drills, arms and clothing
will be the same as those of the
National Guard, and the new COM
panies will take over the armories
in each town and city of the state.
Captain O'Gara received his APP
pointment on his previous service
record, and everyone in Sank Cen
ire will agree that it was a logical
selection. Dewey served in the
World War and during his service
was promoted to the rank Of Ser
geant. Following fhe war he en-
listed In the Home Guard as a ser
geant, and when that unit was
changed to the National Guard he
remained as a sergeant and served
for ten years as a member of Co.
M. During that term of service he
was promoted to Second Lieutenant
and then to First Lieutenant. He
retired from service several years
ago while serving as First Lieuten-
ant.
Staff officers of the First Regi-
ment, of which the local company
will be a unit, are as follows: Col
onel Henry Mills, Brainerd; Lieu
tenant Colonel Wilbur A. Miller,
Long Prairie; Major Of Second Bat

MORE ANENT VICE

Some highly educational facts have
come to the attention of The Citizen since
Mondays dissertation on controlled vice
which appeared in this space. Not only to
give credit where credit is due, but to fur
ther enlighten our readers on the subject,
We again bring it up.
Through a talk with Dr. William War
ren, city health officer and surgeon for the
Army post here. The Citizen mas learned
spread of venereal diseases. On that point
The Citizen was in error, having obtained
its information from a navy medical officer
who failed to mention the work being done
by Doctor Warren.
Doctors Warren and J. B. Parramore,
county health officer, have the prostitute
situation under control. Periodic tests are
being made of girls in houses here.
Doctor Warren, incidentally, brings up
an unusual point; one the average layman
would never think Of
How do the girls contract venereal
infections?" asks the doctor. Through
the men they come in contact with, obviously
so why not force the MEN to present a
health certificate when they enter house?
Such a system would cut down the possi-
bility of infection 80 per cent
To conclude the discussion, we quote
from Time issue of Dec. 16, on the SUBJ
iect: =
''Venereal Infection during World W ar
l cost the Army $780, 900 man-days (time
lost in hOspitals) Military police patrol

IF WE HAD NO CHURCHES

If there were no churches in Key West
the good people of the community would
get together and make arrangements to or
ganiZe one.
They would do this because they are
conscious of the value of churches and the
service that they render TO the cause OF reli-
gion
We doubt if many people would deny
the accuracy of the statements made but
there are number of good people in our
midst who do not feel impelled TO help sup
port any of the churches that serve our peo-
pie.
Naturally, we do not attempt to advise
any citizen as 10 his religious beliefs or sug-
gest that he, or she, join any particular
church. We do not hesitate, however, TO
suggest that every citizen should affiliate
with the church of his, or her, choice and
that, having joined hands with others in
that church, give it reasonable financial
support.

1 Theoretically, Mexico is a Ge-
mocracy with a governmental
system about like that of the
Bnfted States. Actually, demo-
cratic processes are frequently
Thrown overheard in the dra-
matte workings of Mexican poll
tics. The presidential election last
July was a case in point. The
hackers of both candidates-Avila
Camacho and General Almazan-
did not Scruple to use any kind of
persuasion at their command.
Voters were kept away from the
polls by main force. Tear gas
bombs were thrown rceklessly.
The warm Mexican air was stir
red by gunfire A considerable
length of time passed before the
name of the winner was an
, nOunced. 1t was Avila CamachO.
But tough General Almazan was
not satisfied, nor were his back
erS. Violent protests were made
And there were rumors of that
old Mexican device for settling
SquabbleS-revOlution.
Revolution might have come,
had it not been for one man-re-
tiring President Cardenas. Lazaro
CardenaS comes about as close to
being national hero in Mexico
as any living man could He
would have undoubtedly been re-
elected had not the Mexican con-
stitution made it impossible for
him to run again. CardenaS be-
gan his career as a left winger,
known for his admiration of many
Soviet ideas As his adminiStra-
ton developed. it swung steadily
to the right And at the end il
reached a sort Of happy medium
between red radicalism and black
reaction. Cardenas went openly
among the people-which is al
most unknown for mill-run Mexi-
can presidents who live surround
ed by troops, in constant fear OF
an assassin's bullet. He brought
opposed cliques together. Sc
when he said that. Almazan'S pro-
tests not withstanding, Camacho
would succeed him, the great
bulk of MexicanS agreed. Even
Almazan finally renounced al
claims to the office.
Camacho's election was a vic
tory for the United States. Like
CardenaS, he is strongly prO-U.S.
strongly anti-Fascist Some OF
Almazan's most OutspOken back,
ers are the reverse OF that-pro-
