the tragic failure of OPM.
What is new is that after five
months of war and heavy U. S.
losses, these iailings have not been
remedied and the men largely re-
sponsible for them remain in con-
troll.
For example: After the explosive
resignation from WPB of Robert
Guthrie, Kentucky business man,
because of the business as usual"
attitude of high WPB officials, an
order was belatedly issued to halt
radio production on April 3. That
was three weeks ago, but radio sets
are still being turned out in large
numbers.
After the stop order was issued
with a fanfare of publicity, the or
der was quietly modified without
any publicity. to permit the pro-
duction of an additional 100000 ra
dio sets.
Similarly, the typewriter industry.
which could be converted in few
weeks TO producing large quanti-
ties of desperately needed airplane
parts. is still permitted to roll along
IN nigh gear making typewriters.
Ihere are many other cases of big
resources In machines, materials
and labor going to waste in this
manner.
Ncte:- Hundreds of typewriters
are lying idle in government Of
ices; plenty OF them right in WPB.

THE NEED FOR SCRAP

The steel industry of the United States
will require 100000 tons of scrap iron
and steel by the end of this year.
1t is estimated that probably ten times
the amount of scrap needed is available in
homes, factories, on farms and in aban-
doned buildings, railroads, bridges and in
dustrial plants.
With the needs recognized and the
existence of scrap admitted, the problem
is to persuade men, women and children
throughout the nation to make the neces-
sary effort to collect the scrap for delivery
to the steel mills.
This newspaper, along with other
American newspapers, has been asked to
support concerted salvage collection cam
paign. The bottlers have offered their
facilities in a thirty-day drive to collect
scrap. What the result will be depends,
not upon the newspapers OF the bottlers, but
upon the people of the country.
Millions of tons of scrap in backwards,
under starways, in Easements and garages
will remain where it is unless individuals
collect it and turn it in.

9e9 OUT OF EVERY 1000

Practically every person worries at
times about malnutrition and blames body
aches and pains upon some deficiency in
diet
Certainly, it is we'll that human be-
ings have begun to give serious considera-
ton to the foods that build and maintain
the body. 1t is rather remarkable when
we consider the matter, that for many cen
turtles little or no attention was paid to the
question of diet.
1t may comfort some of US to be told
that only one person in thousand escapes
malnutrition. This is the findings of six
year survey, including 2,511 adults and
children in Pennsylvania. Two individuals
rated high in all tests, but the others Were
deficient, the poor being worse off than The
rich, but both classes being below the best
rating.

AS fisher wives once watched
their men sail out to sea,
We, too, know we'll that death
stalks through the day and

With tear-dimmed eyes we
watch in unity,
A prayer within our hearts for
just one sight
Of that beloved face, so near, SO
God bring him safely back to
where we are!
Twas only yesterday, little
while ago.
I'm glad he could not see the
--. ache within my heart.
He held me in his arms. Then

Pm glad that smiles, and jokes,

In hours that we had together.

God give me faith, and strength
to hide this fear!

THE BUTCHER, THE BAKER, THE
CANDLESTICK MAKER

Key Westers, who went to a grocery
and bought some foodstuff at a certain
price, returned a day later and learned
they must pay several cents more for the
same thing, can breathe freely now, as a re-
suit of the governments fixing ceilings for
commodities
The Citizen doesn't accuse any local
grocer CT gouging, yet it seems strange that
one grocer, during the time prices were sky
rocketing in Key West, sold some article of
food at several cents lower than it was Of
fered for sale by another grocer.
The latter's stock excuse was, '"The
wholesaler is charging me more and | must,
therefore, charge you more" When it was
pointed out> that such-and-such grocer
was charging less, the former always ex-
claimed, cts old stock he's selling!''
But, time and time again, the stock
had been bought that very day by the
grocer who was selling at cheaper price.
How is it that today we know Of one grocer
who sells condensed milk for Is cents a
can and another charges II cents? Both
presumably pay the same price for it.
That forces one to the conclusion that
ore grocer is satisfied with a fair profit,
while the other is deliberately gouging.
But gouging grocers now will toe the
same mark with ether grocers who base
their charges on what was paid for the
product and not because of war condi-
lions.
All the blame for higher foOdstuffs
should not be placed on the grocers who are
disposed to gouge. There are gougng
wholesalers too, and the latter now are
forced to play the game fairly and not cake
advantage of the boom that is result Of
the war.
At the time when The Citizen COM
planned about the placing of our rent levels
back to October l, 1912, it was pointed out
that that order was discriminating in view
of the fact that nothing had been done 10
stop soaring prices for the necessities of
life. While The Citizen has not changed
its opinion about the arbitrary action IN
forcing back our rent scale to two months
before we entered the war, yet it joins Key
Westers in rejoicing that the butcher, the
baker and the candlestick maker are now
under the same governmental control as are
the landlords.

HELP UNCLE SAM

Go to- work for Uncle Sammy,
You can do your bit to win;
TO be careless or to waste things
During war times is a sin.
Gather up old iron and rubber,
And any other kind of scrap;
1t will help your Uncle Sammy
Keep his foothold on the map.
He needs materials of every kind
To help subdue the Japs,s
So lets do everything we can no
To help him set his traps. 8c
Don't throw away speck of fat
Tho it seems too small for
use;
A million little speeks, you know,
May pry some German loose;
Your Uncle Sam needs papers.
He also needs old tin.
So gather all you can right now,
It's surely time we should
begin.
Hurrah for all the kids who save
It's one thing all can do;
Don't waste your food nor tear
your clothes
Eat everything that's served
to you.
A little bit wasted today,
A little bit more tomorrow
May seem but trifle to you just
now,
But eventually bring great
sorrow.
So help Uncle Sam by saving
Each little thing that you
can;
1t may be the means of saving
Many and many man.
