Golf VS.. Bowling

The odds against making hole
in-one in golf are about 10000 to
one, while the odds against MAX

ing on new alleys with new pins is
about 100000 to one. In other
words, it is far easier to shoot a
hole-in-one than it is to make IL

SCORE ONE FOR HITLER

Editor, The Citizen:
Watch out for the air blitz on

Americas troops from England
onto the African coast where

He's also got part of the cream
of England's offensive power in
Egypt. Just watch HIM start
pounding the tight little isle
from the air, bat soon. 50
& United Nations strategy has
overlooked the importance of air
power in this war. England as
an air base has a knife at Ger
many's heart. Germany must
knock England out Of the war
in the next few months. My
guess is.that Mr.. Hitler has been
saving his air force for two
years for just this job. His at
tack will come within the; next
few weeks. Morocco, Algeria,
and Tunisia are out of range OF
most of Germany. And England
is the home of much of the best
United Nations airp1ane factor

Mr.. Hitler couldn't possibly af-
ford to occupy any great part OF
Africa until he had knocked out
England and Russia. Africa is a
good jumping off place for an
attack up through Italy. for us,
but we're not ready for that yet,
not until 1914. This isn't the Ma
poleonic Wars or World War I,
but World War II, an airplane
war; just watch those German
planes over England, and stop
making jokes about Adolf Hitler.

actively participated in songs,

OF special interest was a group
of shoTf essays written by the
Sophonrores, who cleverly por-

NEEDS; ASSISTANCE

Editor, The Citizen:
This week the jackson Square
director and program directors
are doing work that should be
done by an efficient secretary. As
result they are not able to de-
vote their attention to furnishing
the service men as adequate q
program as would be possible if
time were not taken up with of
flee details.
This weekend the wife of a To-
cal service man is expected to ar
rive from Tennessee to assume
this important post. However, as
yet no suitable accommodations
have been found for her. Unless
this can be done it would be I'M
wise for her to come to Key West.
This would leave the USO staff
unable to develop a better pro-
gram for our service men.
The USO is certainly AM indis-
pensable business and social asset
to our community. Won't you
good citizens help find a reason
ably priced room or a two-bed-
room apartment which is prefer

ELECTION REVIEW
POSTWAR PROSPECTS ..a
r. D! n. ffoI Dis PEOPLE Ia

/. Party leaders and political
dopesters are trying to ana1yze the
results of the elections this month
with many interpretations coming
out of the hopper.
Some of them are fanciful and
most of them overlook. the inn
possibility of appraisal of post
war politics upon the basis of q
wartime election. Right now
everybody is for winning the
war and nobodyCis against inter
national cooperation but the con-
dition is abnormal and it will not
remain that way.
There is a distinct possibility
that American politics, after the
war ends, will be entirely differ.
ent from the set-up before WE
got into the present global strug-
gle. Much depends upon how
long the conflict lasts because a
presidential election in 1914, with
the war going, on would be vastly
different from, enc after sue
cessful termination of hostilities
The President wisely refrained
from asking the people of the ma
ton to vote for Democrats. Mr..
Willkie likewise appealed for the
election of candidates pledged
to the fullest support of the wal
effort. We know of no success
full candidate who even so much
as limited that he opposes the Ut
most war effort, now that the ma
ton is in the war.
The electorate did not turn otft
in full force. The voting was
comparatively light. There are
several contributing factors, in
Guiding men in the armed SER
vice, the dislocation of workers
and the usual lag behind the out
pouring of ballots that character
ICES a presidential contest. The
apathy of the voters was appar-
emf in the primary elections and
is hardly explained by the mat
tiers mentioned.
When we come to the. survey
of postwar political conditions
there is-no certaiI ground for any
positive predictions The Repub-
licans are badly split by differ
ences arising out of the pre-war
discussion and the Democrats
may fly apart when F. D. r! gives
UP the reins. Certainly, the ma
jority party will see q struggle for
control which may be as injurious
as the historic split between Taft
and the first Roosevelt
a-@-~--~-a@~
Already, there is some refer
-ence to the possibility that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will offer for a
fourth term. This needs little
discussion at the present time. If
the war continues. however, il
may be safely assumed that a
tremendous demand will arise
for the retention of Mr.. Roose-
welt. Regardless of party affilia-
tions, smart politicians under
stand the amazing hold that F

While we favor a confidence,
as we face the war, there must
not be any over-confidence De-
spite favorable indications of our
coming victory the nation must
be ready for whatever happens.
If necessary, we must fight to the
last man and il is impossible TO
stage such a desperate struggle,
if needs be, without adequate
preparation for such a contest.
The people on the home front
have a great role to play in the
successful prosecution of the
war. We must speedily respond
to. appeals for scrap, willingly

that the United States is in war
of growing proportions. II is now
taken for granted that we viii
experience heavy loss of life and
material as the struggle develops.
Few people now cling to the idea
that our enormous resources viii
tip the scales without participa-
ton in the fighting on scale that
viii dwarf any previous foreign
war in which the nation has been
engaged.
We are not wise enough to at
tempt to estimate how long the
war will last. Every American
can study the news accounts that
flow from the battlefields and
judge what they mean. A long
war is a possibility but, despite
all words of caution, a short war
is likewise possible. =
Just at this timsI'tne general
war outlook; all over the world,
including, Russia, Africa and the
South Pacific, is considered fav.
orable. The German army is SUI
fering heavy losses in its fight
with the Red army, the situation
in Africa is improving and the
outlook in the Far East is that
japanese shipping is severely
strained. The aerial attacks. from
Great Britain and the enormous
productions Of the United States
are factors to be weighed in APP
praisiig the war. situation.
There is reason to believe that
a German collapse is possible in
1943 and despite the stern warn
ing Of Ambassador Grew, that
the Japs viii fight to the last man,
there is little reason to expect
major. Japanese opposition after
the sinews Of. war, which Japan
carefully, hHsbanded before Pearl
Harbor, have been expended. i.
