SCHOOL BOARD HAS
 PREPARED BUDGET

At a special meeting Of tn e Douglas School Board last night final touches were given the an- nual budget for the 1943-44 term preparatory to presentation at the regular meeting of the City Coun- cil next Monday night.
 Although some regular items Of expense, such as appropriations for furniture and miscellaneous equip ment are reduced or eliminated altogether practically the only such item shown is $60 for ath- letic equipment), there is a slight increase in the total amount to be asked for due to higher salaries for teachers and increased pay for the janitor and higher fuel bills.

OPINION OF "A FIGHTER

'It is foolish to say that the battleship,
the aircraft carrier, the airplane, or any
thing else, is the one thing that will win
the war;" declares Lieutenant Harold H.
Larsen, commander of the Nays famous
Torpedo Squadron 8.
The Lieutenant, now on leave in this
country explains that cts the combina-
ton of all that will win and adds that
The cooperation of the Army, Navy and
Marines in the Pacific is excellent"
This is the report of the naval officer
whotw was in action at Midway and has seen
four months of action off Guadalcanal
since last September. In twenty-seven at
tacks against Japanese ships and ground
positions, the squadron has lost only one
plane and not single pilot. In nine tor
pedo attacks, it has hit every type of Jap
enese ship from battleship TO destroyer
although, he admits, the Japanese threw
a lot of lead at u.s.
1t might be a good idea to get certi-
fled copy of the Lieutenant's interview
for distribution among the armchair and
typewriter strategists who are always tell
ing us how the war should be won and in
sisting upon a unified command.

The interesting thing is that the police

men IN uniform are based on the
assumption these men present spe-
cial problem and are less able than
civilians to take care of themselves
That assumption Is fallacious. Ask
the Japs on Guadalcanali owl re-
Gently released its nationwide sur
vey of the liquor problem in military
camps, and reported. drinking does
not constitute a serious problem" My
organizations survey of ten camps
in three states confirms this state
ment. Commanding officers. provost
mashals and the Secretaries of War
and Navy know the facts and unan-
imously oppose prohibition for their
men.
Licensed places can be controlled
by civil and military authorities The
Illegally operating clandestine speak
easy and the itinerant bootlegger
inevitably spring up when legal sales
of liquor are prohibited and theJ
are much more difficult to locate and
control The atmosphere of some
licensed taverns needs improvement
but by and large they are far better
than the hidden dive with its moon
shine and other evils.
This Is no time to bar service men
from relaxations permitted civilians
or to divert military personnel to
fighting bootleggers. Commanding Of
ficers know best how to handle their
men and they don't want any med
ding by ill-advised legislation.
SEN. ODANIEL CHALLENGES:
We are not discussing national pro-
hibition. This question deals solely
with the Army and Navy and the
winning of the war. This proposal
to bar liquor from Army camps ap-
plies only for the duration. Every
body admits that sober men make
better soldiers. If they cannot obtain
liquor while on duty, they remain
sober while on duty. That rule now
applies to civilians in all successful
factories and schools.
While off duty, the soldier and
sailor will enjoy the same rights and
privileges as civilians do while of
duty, as far as buying and drinking
liquor Is concerned.
MR.. ELDREDGE REPLIES: The
fact is that our service men. under
present conditions, do remain sober
while on duty" Senator O'Daniel in
fers our men are now drinking on
duty and inipairing their efficiency.
No officer would tolerate such a sit
uation for an instant. Commanding
officers, responsible for military mo-
rale, unalterably oppose the O'Daniel
proposal. They know better than he
does how to build an efficient army.
Taking beer from canteens would
create intense resentment among sol
diers and lower morale. We believe
our men have the maturity. judg.
ment and ability to face the enemy
successfully. Shall we add, "but you
haven't enough of what It takes to
face a drink"

You think you have your head
aches with food rationing? Then
listen to the beef and butter wor-
ries of Ella Ennis, who is respon-
sible for feeding $4,000 people a
day.
|, She is director of dietetics OF
New York City hospitals. Controls
the spending of more than $4,000
600 a year on food. Directs its dis
tribution and delivery to "a insti-
tutions in five boroughs. Plans all
the dietary and household equip
ment which serves doctors, nurses,
patients and staff. And does it
with a grin.
The people who work with her
saw that there is probably no
other woman who could do her
lob. She has been with the De-
partment of Hospitals IS years,
knows the ropes. never gives up,
never loses her temper and never
raises her voice. She has a husky
contralto voice, level blue eyes, a
friendly smile.
This place is like a stock ex-
saanse." she said. Canned
Goods and dried fruits are the
headache now. We get into diff
ficulty before rationing starts
in any thing. because we are
such biz buyers and need SO
n7ucb. We were down to one
cup of coffee a day months be-
fore coffee was rationed."
Miss Ennis has seen the amount
of coffee she has to apportion
among the city hospitals dwinile
from 35,545 pounds in the last
quarter of AZ. Her sugar supply
went down from 485, 09O TO 285, 100
POUNDS. Once she had 10000
pounds of beef a week to allot to
various institutions. Now she
works with $4,000 pounds and says
that there was a time when she
could get. only 10000 pounds a
week. Her butter supply has gone
from 400 tubs taveraging Ga
pounds each) week to rs per cent
of that. And sometims she is able
to corral only 200 tubs.
Sugar was the worst prob
lem" she said. We are ration
ed in the same proportion as a
family. But we are really manu-
facturers. because we make all
our desserts - pies. cakes. ice

SfaosaId the Sale of Alcoholic
Beverages BE Barred
Around Army Camps?
The Hon. W. Lee 0'Daniel
Former Governor, R0sc United
States Senator from the State
of Texas
As debated by

SEN. ODANIEL OPENS: In my
opinion drinking places and the sale
of alcoholic beverages should be
barred from our Armed Service
Camps and from certain designated
adjacent territories for precisely the
same reason that practically all CIV
ilian factories and training schools
now prohibit the sale and cousump-
ton of liquor to employees on duty
and in some cases saloons and drink
ing establishments are barred from
the vicinities of factories and schools
Liquor establishments constitute a
dangerous environment which i'm
pedes progress, retards training. and
causes expensive accident. This
question Is not alone one Of morals,
health, or humanitarian treatment
It is a question of economy and of
increasing the efficiency of our fight
ing men who are engaged in saving
the nation.
Our boys cannot fly planes. drive
!anks. man submarines. or perform
other modern-warfare operations If
their bodies and minds are drugged
with alcohol In any degree.
Texas pioneered the movement in
1917 to protect millions Of our soldier
youths from the dangers OF the liquor
traffic. That statute. rigidiy enforced.
had a marked constructive effect
upon the efficiency of our armed
forces. We had such legislation dur
ing World War l. We won that war;
we want to win this war, so why
not adopt the same policy?
MIR. ELDREDGE CHALLENGES:
The present efficiency and sobriety
of our men, under existing condi-
tons. exceeds that of 1917. agree
tina. men should not drink while on
military duty. But military camps
are the mems present homes as well
as training grounds. When they are
off duty and relaxing they deserve
to be treated at least as well as
civilians. Permitting beer in the
camps. under the watchful eyes Of
officers who can control excuses,
"is a healthy and sensible arrange
ment," according to the Owl report.
Without 1t many men would leave
camp and some would get stronger
liquor. My opponent forgets that
prohibition does not prohibit
SEN. O'DANIEL REPLIES: My
opponent evidently blinded by the
ghost of national prohibition, still
misses the pertinent point in the
argument. am not discussing ma
tional prohibition. l simply propose
that, as a business proposition, the
Government Work Shops and Train
/ ing Schools adopt, for the duration,
the same policy as all successful
domestic factories and schools have
adopted and followed for many
years. This means that soldiers, the
same as civilians, shall not drink
while on duty. yet both, while off
duty. may patronize any legally
established liquor store and drink if
they desire.

DUTY IN THIS HOUR OF STRESS

AS a rule, he who helps ir worthy
cause, and is not remunerated for what he
does, is commended far more than he who
does similar work and is paid for it.
But that rule d O not hold true in
this war Thousands of Americans are la
boring without compensation to help The
war-effort, and, in some instances. are ur.
justly censured for doing their duty.
That fact is particularly applicable to
members of draft boards. The greater their
effort to be fair to everybody, the more
they are unduly criticized, and the criticism
frequently becomes a volume of denuncia-
lion.
Throughout the country have come
stories of chairmen of draft boards who
have been obliged to resign because Of
overwolk or the pressure that has been
brought upon them not TO include this Or
that man among the inductees on the ground
that he has dependents, when investlga-
tions have shown that SO-called dependents
have had other sources Of income.

However, there are unpaid workers

cally, we have the Key West Woman's Club
which conducts a Red Cross sewing room,
where on average of so women a week sew
and knit ard roll bandages for our men at

Some philosopher has said chat The
most satisfying payment for work is appre-
ciaticn That sentiment reaches something
in the human system that mere money can
not touch.
Members of the Key West Woman's
Club labor long and labor hard while in
spired by thoughts that the things they are
making will reach men who are fighting
to preserve our homes and our democratic
form Of government.
They receive the most gratifying pay
appreciation. A thousand and one stories
have come from the front in which were
related the grateful remarks male by our
wounded ard unwounded service men Cor
the bandages and sweaters and other things
that were made for them by Uncle Sans
devoted daughters at home. -tE
All praise to those war workers in the
Key West Woman's Club who sew and knit,
hour after hour, actuated by the knowledge
thew are doing their duty in this hour Of
