WHO PAYS FOR DEFENsE2

Defense obligations imposed upon the
county by the state government are de-
veloping into major headache for county
commission, and more so far every employee
Of the county who sees money diverted from
the payroll into defense needs.
Admitting that The defense activities
are necessary, the county employees can see
mo reason why their pay should be held up,
and the commission is faced with the prob
lem Of attempting to finance program
Whose costs are unknown In advance.
81 What the situation seems to need is
some investigation and large dose OF
planning.
Under the present system, B. M. Dun.
can, chairman of the defense council, gets
orders from Tallahassee to go out and get
whatever the state defense leaders feel IS
necessary here. 1t comes in the form OF
direct order. and Duncan, whose organiza-
ton does not include treasury, is expected
to produce.
THE county is empowered to take
money from any fund for defense use, SO
money which ordinarily would go into pay
rolls is diverted to defense purposes and the
county employees are paid off IN warrants
which they must sell at a discount
IN obviously, the system Is not fair.
Monroe county, because Of its size, its
large sections of unpopulated land and its
long coastline, takes a lot of defending, all
Of which costs money, But, becausserof its
smaa population, there isn't much money
to dosthe job
Certainly Monroe county residents
want to defend themselves and the APP
proaches to the state, but just as certainly,
the state and the nation need to keep Mon
roe county defended for their own good.
The county employees do not want to
put themselves in the unpatriotic position
Of opposing the defense program--but
neither do they want to pay for it out of all
proportion to their number.
The county needs some help from the
state and from the more populeus counties
whose defense needs are not so great.

AN UNHAPPY GENIUS

Through the medium of radio. the
works of the great musical composers may
now be heard by everyone, and among
these the lofty compositions of Ludwig van
Beethoven are becoming familiar to an ever
widening audience. AS one biographer has
written, lin music Beethoven is name be-
fore the greatness of which all other names,
however great, seem to dwindle.''
But in spite of his towering genius and
transcendent achievement the composers
life was tragic and unhappy one during
most of its sc years.
Beethoven was born In Bonn, Prussia,
in ITO, of a very poor family, his father
being court musician with prediction
for strong drink, while his mother was
woman of little education, the daughter of
a cook But Beethoven managed to secure
sound musical instruction, becoming a
skillful performer on the violin, piano and
organ at an early age, but while he early
attempted composition, it was not until
about the age. of rs that he began to pro-
duce the magnificent works which haYe
brought HIM undying fame.
Beethoven never married and his ex-
istence was a secluded one for the most
part, marred by poverty and frequent quar-
rels with with his servants, and the in
gratitude Of nephew for whom he had
made many sacrifices. But the great
tragedy of his life was his deafness, which
began about his 18th year and finally be-
came total Some of his sublimest COM
positions were written after he was too
deaf to hear note of their wondrous
beauty.
The fact that he continued TO create
immortal masterpieces under such circun-
stances sets Beethoven apart as being at
once the most majestic and the most
pathetic figure in the history of music.

AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION

The production of aircraft in the
United States, for the month Of July, shows
that fewer planes were completed than IN
June, and June was little off from May.
These are interesting conclusions but
what they mean nobody knows 1t is not
known, for example. how many training
planes are involved how many single
motored planes, or how many multiple
motored aircraft were produced.
Fewer planes may represent greater
bombing capacity, or increased fighting
power. However, we do not know; maybe
Il might be a good thing to let the people
DC the nation know just how the aircraft
program is coming along.
