Civil Relief Act Guards Rights and Privileges
Of Prewor Fathers Being Inducted Into Service

With general drafting OF pre-

! the first OF three articles dealing
NTH SerUicemen's rights and

| BY the Associated Press,
So you're going to be drafted, dad.
How about the family financial
obligations while you're away?
Those payments on the house and
the automobile? And your insur-

Think you can keep all that up

plus the comparatively small amount

family going while you're fighting?
With the drafting of preWar

Congress are being asked by worried
fathers with low draft numbers to
| furnish the answers to those queS-
| tionS.
The answers, or most of them,
are down in black and white on the
law books. Generally speaking, they
should save some gray hairs for
anxious dads.
Civil Relief Act of 1912.
More than year ago, when it
began to seem inevitable that men
with families would be called to the
colors. Congress went to work to
ease the financial blow

the Allowance and Allotment Act
under which the Government adds
to payments a serviceman makes to
his dependents.
For Living Expenses.
Where the Allowance and Allot-
ment act furnishes the money, the
Civil Relief Act is intended TO see
that the money is retained by the
dependents for living expenses.
The law applies to all members Of

Insurance Payments.
The Government guarantees pay

insured value of $4,000, the policy
to be restored to good standing with
IN two years after discharge. This
protection does not interfere with
the mans right to buy up to $4,000
OF Government insurance
At any time within six months
after his discharge, a debtor may
apply to a court for additional relief
in the form of extension of the time
for repaying accrued obligations.
The act gives the courts wide dis
cretion in handling cases of service
men.
Either because of ignorance of

their rights or because of ability of
debtors to reach agreements with
their creditors without resort to it,
the act has not been resorted to as
extensively as one might expect in

make such other order as may be

Just what such other order" may
be is matter on which the courts
haven't agreed. One court has held
that a stay Of execution for longer

Mortgage Protection.
Similar protection is given against
foreclosure for nonpayment of mort

mortgage case the court may order
sale or it may grant a stay of fore

ARE THE COUNCILMEN
CRAWFISHINC?

1t has been declared that the public
has a short memory, but we wonder, oh, how
we wonder, if the memory of the people
gotten, or will forget by the time Election
Day rolls around next November the craw-
fishing and other manifestation of weak
ness of our city council!
The Citizen is confident that practic-
ally every Key Wester remembers that, last
fall, the city councilmen, with beating of
drums and blarings of trumpets, declared
that all gambling houses in Key West would
be closed and kept closed. But what hap
pened TO this ripsnorting ''norwester"? 1t
came up with its usual suddenness and died
out as suddenly as it had flared up The
warmth of righteous indignation died down,
as usual, always as usual, to chilly indiffer-
ence.
And then, as though somebody's OK
was gored again, the councilmen discussed
at length proposal to revoke the licenses
of all saloons, night clubs and hotels on Du-
val street Wild life at night on that thor
oughfare, caused by liquored-up men and
some women too; the loss of respect for
women who CHANGED to be on Duval at night,
and a dozen and one other nuisances, all
traceable to John Barleycorn, were describ-
ed in labored and broken sentences at the
meeting. When the news about the prob
ability of the councilmen's revoking the
licenses was published in The Citizen, the
good folks in Key West applauded and the
saloon keepers and owners of the buildings
in which the saloons are kept rumbled like
an approaching thunderstorm.
Now, what happened again? Many
persons thought" according to the council
men, that the proposal was to be discussed
at the meeting Tuesday night, but, for ''va-
rious reasons the councilmen are mot
ready to reconsider the proposal Eat the
meeting tonight.
What are those various reasons !,
why were the councilmen mot ready?
How long does it require to decide whether
the saloons are to be permitted or not per-
nitted to operate on Duval street? How
long will it take to decide to revoke some
body's license?
One councilman had under advise
menu some form OIL mOdlIlcaClon, ana
another councilman thought the matter
should. be given further consideration be-
fore final action is taken on it, all of which
is that not-so-pleasant pastime of craw-
fishing?
But why should the councilmen be
forced to crawfish over situation of their
own creation? 1t was they who granted the
liquor licenses, despite protests that too
many saloons, or the equivalent of saloons,
were operating on that one street, particu-
larly in its two busiest blocks. -
So the councilmen now are trying to
pull apart the Frankenstein they them
selves created, and are uncertain about the
procedure they should take to undo what
they have done. The result is the Franken-
stein now threatens to destroy them, as
Frankensteins generally do.
Are the councilmen crawfishing?

THEY were on the river again,

brown skillful hands welded the
paddle = what heavenly relief!
Only one thing married her con-

She bent to whisper to him
soothingly. "It won't be long now,
Cleve."
His gaze cleared slightly.
Hello, Penny" he said. Where
are we?"
almost to Moose Creek"
Thank God" He smiled I'D at
her crookedly, then lapsed into
Inconsistencies.
He didn't awaken until the
canoe grated on the beach at
Moose Greek.
: We're here, Cleve," said
Penny. DO you think you can
manage to get up to one of those
Indian houses if Marie and help
you?"
Sure" he said.
They succeeded in getting him
out of the canoe. Supporting him
on either side, they struggled up
the incline to the first Indian
shack Just before they reached it,
Cleve collapsed.
Marie called out and some
squaws appeared from the cabins.
Soon Cleve was lying on a narrow
cot IN the nearest house. Penny
bent over him, bathing his face
with cool wet cloth.
Dear Cleve," she whispered.
You'll be all right. You've got to
be. We need you, Bill and l."
AT the mention of Bills name.
his eyelids futtered. His brown
eyes, nearly black with suffering.
stared earnestly into her worried
gray ones.
"Penny-you've wasted enough
time with me. You-must-go-
on"
Penny thought about that. It
was only twenty-five miles up
stream from here to Pierre lie
Frene's shack. Starting early in
the morning, she could probably
make it late the same evening,
providing Moose Creek wasn't too
swift. To come back downstream
would take only half the time.

CAN AIRCRAFT WIN THE WAR?

Al British air enthusiast says unquali-
tiedly that both Germany and Italy can be
knocked out in 1943. He thinks that fifty
bombing raids a month for two months, each
unloading two thousand tons of bombs,
would turn the trick.
According to London news dispatch,
this would mean stepping up the present
aerial offensive four times The probability
is that attacks upon Axis-held Europe will
be stepped up by four times the end of this
summer
Naturally, there is much interest in
the suggestion that continuous round-the-
clock bombing might be able to put Ger
many, or Italy, or both, out of the war. Ger
tainly, such campaign would not involve
the huge loss of life which must be faced if
g large Anglo-American Army invades
Continental Europe.
