SCOVILL'S OBTAINS
 NEEDED MATERIALS
No Suspension of Work This Week. Increased
 Production Shortly

A sufficient supply of materials has enabled the Scovill Mfg. Co. to cary on 100 per cent production all this week. This is in contrast to the two previous weeks when Short- ages of goods necessitated the clos ing down of one section of the north rolling mill, employing 300 men, from Friday to Monday.
 Scovill officials say that there appears to be enough raw materials on hand to allow full production schedules for the near future. Ship ments are reported to be arriving better than in previous recent weeks.
 Construction work is proceeding rapidly on the company's large cast ing shop addition, near Silver street. It is scheduled to go into operation this winter, thereby making possible 8 substantial increase in production.
 The Scovill Mfg. Co. has received the largest amount of defense or ders placed with local plants during the past year. It is turning out de- fense items of many kinds, notably shell castings and ammunition com- ponentS.

WOULD you VOTE WAR?

Far be it from us to tell Mr. Gallup
how to run his poll, but now that he has es-
tablished Florida as the most warlike state
in the union, it ought to be interesting to
find where the vote came from, county by
county.
From Key Vests standpoint, such a
breakdown in the Gallup poll would be IN
teresting, because it might afford "a clue
to the distribution of votes throughout the
rest of the country.
Thus, the importance to war sentiment
of Floridas proximity to the canal zone and
the busy Caribbean waters might be check
ed if It were known whether there is an i'm
portant difference between Key West,
which is closest to the canal, and Jackson
Vile, which is far away.
Although Florida registered only 80
per cent in the affirmative on the question,
would you vote to go to war now, If you
were asked" it must be remembered that
no particular incident has arisen to build
up war sentiment to the heights it reached
shortly before this cOunty's entry into the
World War. Polls were not IN fashion
then, out it is doubtful if sentiment in favor
of war was that high in the months pre-
ceding the sinking of the Lusitaria and sew
eral other events which aroused opinion.
One factor which might make Key
West u poor guide for such poll, of course
would be the element of sympathy with
ancestral home countries.
Frankly, we can't say with any basis
Of authority whether the English stock in
Key West would influence the present
population particularly one way or the
other. The Cuban population, too, would
provide a question.
One interesting point in that regard, is
that the very English populations of New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut
proved much less willing to go to war now
than the states surrounding them.
In any event, Key Westers have been
indulging in heated arguments about the
poll ever since Dr. Gallup announced his
findings We still would like to know how
opinion here compares with the remainder
of the state.

AMERICAS URGENT NEED

From a recent booklet entitled ''You

D. c., at 10 cents copy, and endorsed in a
foreward by General Pershing, the follow
ing significant paragraphs are taken:

National character is the core of ma
tional defense. Congress can't vote it. Dol
lars won't buy it. It's your job to build
it.
eve need new spirit in the country
But to get it we must start with a new spirit
in every citizen And that means you.
Either you sacrifice your personal
selfishness, for the nation, or you sacrifice
the nation for your personal selfishness.
''Musketl and pewder-horn once hung
over the deerofievery American home. Our
fathers were not afraid to use them. The
Minute Men at Lexington and Concord
seized them and ran to defend their eoun-
try.
But fear hate and greed have slipped
into our homes, our industries, our COM
munities. Like termites they are eating

on.
