THE GREAT ALUMINIUM HOAX

How many of those women who robbed
their pantries of all their aluminium pots
and pans know just what was behind that
emotional campaign?
Give your aluminium ware to your
country to make fighter planes for de-
fense," housewives heard over the air and
read in the printed word. They gave free
ly. Mountains of utensils were piled up in
cities and towns all across the map. Then
some inquiring reporter investigated to as
certain what actually would be done with
them. He found that this aluminium could
not be melted down and used in airplane
manufacture. 1t would not be the proper
quality of metal.
At first this was denied vehemently,
but at length Mayor La Guardia, head of
the federal Office of Civilian Defense, ad-
mitted it was true. The scrap would be
sold, he said, and the proceeds used to buy
fighter planes. At the present scale of
armament building, that is similar to empty
ing few barrels of water into Lake MICH
gan to raise its level
Nations Business reports that in some
communities, coincident with the campaign,
there was a rush of women to the stores to
buy new aluminium utensils and further de-
plete rapidly dwindling stocks. .
As everyone should know by. now, the
aluminium hoax was for one purpose and no
other-to instill in housewives the crusad-
ing spirit so essential to war making. As
propaganda it was superb; as an aid to
armament it was about as practical as the
New York afraid warden mobilization or
women's parachute rifle companies.

REGISTER BEFORE SATURDAY

Candidates for city posts have their
final chance to announce this afternoon,
and the voters who will put some of them
in office get only three more days be-
fore the registration dcadline Saturday
night
Thus Key West enters the home stretch
of another city election, and a population
which has shown little interest in the pro-
eeedings up to now gets its last chance to
decide on the merits of the men who viii
direct it for the next two years.
Probably because local politics have
been so completely overshadowed by the
thunderous echoes of world politics, pre-
election excitement here has been almost
ncn-existent. It would not be fair to say
no one cares who gets the city posts, but it
is perfectly accurate to say that few of the
citizens are taking part in any strenuous
campaigning.
Regardless of who finally comes up
with the brass rings, however, one thing
Kew Westers do owe themselves is the ex-
ereise of their right to vote. Pick your can
didate-but vote for someone.
The city council election, particularly,
is of the most vital Importance to Key West
at this time. Coming in year when world
democracy is at its lowest ebb since the
days before the last war, the citizen who
siraply ignores his civic responsibility in
this election is showing little respect for. a
system whose preservation is being bought
With the worlds blood.
1t is entirely possible that the decisions
Ct the next two years will shape Key West
uture for many years to come. For the
average citizen. there should be some salts
.ection in the knowledge that those deci-
sions are being made by men who won out
in really general election of the entire
populace-nOt an election in which small,
pressure groups could sweep their men into
office while the great bulk of the electorate
Stood by.
If ever there was year when man
should honor and use his right to cast a bal
lot, this is that year.

AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION

The production of military aircraft in
September reached total of 1.914 air
planes, according to report of the Office
of Production Management.
While the months output is sixty above
that OF August and brings our production to
1861 planes for the first nine months OF
1871, the nation is still far from the Presi-
dent goal of $4,000 planes year.
Inasmuch as the figures give no in
dicatiOn of the percentage of combat planes
and bombers in the September total, it IS
rather difficult to appraise the progress
made in the production of the bombers that
the British need in Europe. Certainly, the
aircraft industry has gone steadily forward,
with September production around 285 per
cent Of that of September, 1940.
