since the finger print pattern Of
each one is different, it's a reason
able assumption that the muscle
fibers of our arms and legs are not
all exactly the same in tone and
endurance. You are a good Judge
of yourself. If exercise makes you
feel good, take plenty Of it. If
you're over fifty and a little exer-
else makes you feel good, take a
little more. If it doesn't make you
feel good, stop it and don't have
1t on your conscience.
Get plenty Of sleep or rest if you
think you need that more than ex-

it's quite possible we should imi-

tropics and take a siesta after
lunch.

WARPLANE PRODUCTION

The combined warplane production of
Great Britain and the United States now
exceeds the total output of Germany, Italy
and Japan, according to Merrill C. Meigs,
Deputy Director of the WEB Aircraft Di-
vision
Mr.. Meigs predicts that the Septem-
Der output will be seventy-five per cent
greater than that of the Axis nations. This
is interesting information because the
figures are for ''warplane production" and,
presumably, eliminates training planes.
While we know practically nothing
about the production of airplanes in Great
Britain, the output of the United States will
increase greatly in the next six months. Ger
tainly, the number of four-engine bombers
is growing and there is no reason 10 doubt
the ability of the Anglo-American combi-
nation to blast Germany's vital areas dur
ing the coming winter.

PEOPLES FORUM

for a long time, perhaps. Why
are you so selfish that you de-
prieve us of this little bit of hap
piness? When you refuse to let
our children have a home in your
city, aren't you doing the same
thing that one Adolf Hitler did
to the non-Aryans in his coun-
try? 1t has never occurred to
you that someone might call you
a dictator, has it? Well think
it over and figure it out for your
self.
In order that our race may
not become extinct, there must
always be children. The Master
loved little children and said.
Suffer them to come unto me-"

sincerely believe, that there is a

you help us, instead of hinder

TWO-THIRDS WERE CASUALTIES

The Canadians, who made up five
sixths of the force that attacked Dieppe,
paid a very high price for the information
and experience obtained.
1t is now revealed that 81 per cent of
5000 Canadians were casualties in the
heavy fighting that followed the large
scale raid More than half of the attackers
are recorded as missing, which means dead
or captured
f4o1 In addition, there are ITO known dead
and 633 wounded. This leaves 1850, the
total of those who escaped uninjured The
figures give us an indication of the diff
culties and dangers connected with a
second 'front.' in western Europe.

HEART-TO-HEART TALK

The Citizen has performed its duty eff
fectively in the matter of five city officials,
whose salaries are fixed by statutory en-
actment but who seem determined 20 in
crease the amounts the law explicitly says
they should receive, and now any interested
Key Wester may stop them from getting
more thar they should get by the simple
means of having an injunction issued
against them by the circuit court for this
district
EJa No other thing except right and duty
prompted The Citizen to oppose the evident
disregard for law that some officials have
shown. Not single word of censure was
published by The Citizen against chose in
creases of salaries that did rot run foul
with the law. Indeed, the Citizen cited an
instance in which it thought that some en-
ployes, whose salaries had been raised,
have been underpaid for many years.
The Citizen is aware that some Off
Gals resent what it has done to try 90 stop
the subterfuge to get money from the city
which the law does not warrant them 10
get. Even the word "meddlirg' has been
used. But The Citizen has not been "med-
ding; it is answerable to the public in all
matters that concern that public, and when
The Citizen fought to stop an evasion of the
law, it was fighting for the public, whose
sentiment was, and still is, in accord with
The Citizen's
Do the officers who have been trying
70 +box
should be given them feel that the public is
"meddling" in protesting against the arti-
fetal raising of their salaries? Who put
them into office, whom are they expected
to serve faithfully? Are they serving faith
fully when they connive to increase their
salaries unlawfully?
Answer those questions conscien-
tiously, gentlemen, and then you will be
able to appreciate the stand The Citizen
has taken.
The Citizen voices the sentiment Of
the public, and for voicirg that sentiment it
should be commended, not condemned,
even by the men concerned in trying to get
more money than they should get from the
city.
That's the point and there's no enmity
whatever behind it. 1t is founded on right,
and the people, with the exception of a few
interested ones, always applaud what Is
right.
So, instead of grumbling against The
Citizen, which has not the least ill-wil
against any of the officials concerned, they
should have heart-to-heart talk with their
own consciences

RESENTS TREATMENT
Editor, The Citizen:

PCchaps there are some of your
readers who are not aware of the
treatment accorded to strangers
in their midst. This should en-
Tighten them about what l con-
slider a deplorable situation.
l came to your city six weeks
ago. After week spent in look
ing for a place to live, 1 met Mrs.
x, who informed me that her
husband was being transferred
from Key West and that she
would be leaving soon. She also
told me that her landlady was
out of town but that she (Mrs.
Ky, having lived in the house long
er than other tenant, had been
given. the authority to rent any
apartments that might become
vacant during the landlady's abb
sence.
On the strength OF this, she
promised me that l might have
her apartment when she moved
away. Experience had taught
me. that this is about the only
way that one can find living
quarters here; to know in adj
vance that someone is moving
and make immediate application
for the place to be vacated.
So, for five weeks have wait
ed for Mrs. x to receive word
from her husband as to when
she should leave here. During
this time I have been living in
a small room, paying more rent
than l felt that l could afford, but
saying to myself, "Oh, but when
l get the apartment everything
will be all right.
This morning I went to see
Mrs. x and learned that she was
leaving this evening. But, l also
learned that 1 could not move
into her apartment. l am an
undesirable tenant. Why? Well.
you see, have a child. Someone
had written to the landlady, in
forming her that the apartment
was to be vacant and she had
written back that it could not be
rented to anyone who had child
or children.
On several occasions, while
looking for a place to live here,
l have been told, 1--WE don't take
children" Then, what are we 60
ing to do with our children? 1t
is cur duty as parents to provide
some sort of heme for them.
How would you feel if you should
move to another city and not be
able to make a home for your
child; not be able to give him a
comfortable bed in which to
sleep or the nourishing home
cooked food which his little grow
ing body needs, when the only
reason for your failure was the
simple fact that he is child?
You may ask, We'll, why did
you come here in the first placer"
Here is my answer, and it is the
same answer that millions of
women all over the country can
give. My husband is in the serv-
ice and has been stationed here
for about three months. He has
volunteered to help protect his
homeland and his family (and
yours, incidentally; to give his
life, if necessary, in a fight for
the just cause of freedom, in Or
der that your child and his may
not be slaves to a dictator gov
eminent.
In the little time that is left to
us we would like to be a family,
with mother, father and child
living together in a home. Too
soon the time will come when
father must go away where
mother and child can not be with
him, where we can not see him
