Horace went--and the next few
weeks were the worst he ever
lived through. After work he took
long, solitary, discontinued walks
and shook his head and pondered
over the inconsistency of woman.

thing and Ruth had reacted in a
thoroughly unreasonably emotional
manner.
She had treated him as II he
had harmed her and hadn't even
given him the opportunity, he
modify reflected, of telling her,
as he had intended doing. that he
still wanted her for friend. At

than forty years 1t had been pretty good
to me. | was in position to work for moth

AFTER FIrTH.coLUMNIsTs

Editor, The Citizen:
Fifth olumnist activities are
becoming more effective every
day in the United States.
Senator Dye has said that there
are more than six million of these
human termites in this country. If
this is true, you can imagine what
a tremendous job the department
of justice has on its hands.
There is no doubt that the FBI
needs help and cooperation from
real Americans, and there are
ways that Americans can help, if
! they are given the chance.
Several states are now organ
izing anti-fifth-columnist organ
izations. No doubt they will be a
real help to their government as
we'll as themselves. However, why
confine these organizations to the
state? Why not organize one in
every town in the country? Key
West, for instance, the increase of
naval activities means the in
crease of fifth-columnist efforts,
perhaps not so noticeable now but
why wait until they are felt?
1t is possible for the govern
ment to authorize an intelligence
officer to organize little groups of
men in every town like Key West,
only fifteen or twenty men would
be needed. 1t would not cost the
government anything as | am sure
there will be no trouble at all to
find that many Americans here
who are willing to devote little
time for the good of the country
as whole.
am sure that much can be ac-
complished in this line. 1t will
teach us to be on the alert and
ever ready.
Five men can be selected from
those employed in the navy yard
and five from the naval air station.
The others can be selected from
men who are employed in various
business organizations about
town.
These men can be given a little
training in detection and how to
be on the alert to fifth-columnists
activities.
I believe this will prove TO be
great asset to the forces OF the
government who are now work
ing night and day to rid this coun-
try of those who would under
mine US.
Respectfully,
AN AMERICAN.
