THE MAN IN THE RocklNGcHAIR

A line, in an oldtime song reads, Il
hope you'll understand. The Citizen doesn't
recall whether or not the hope was realized
but The Citizen does know that some Key
Westers, regardless of how plainly and
simply one may write, apparently find it an
insuperable task to understand sometimes
For instance, The Citizen pulled no
punches when it flayed the city council for
spending the city's money carelessly, and
The Citizen doesn't take back single word
it said in those instances. But The Citizen
is actuated only by one motive-fairness-
and that rule is applied to the city council
men as well as to anybody else The Citizen
hasn't "got it in for the councilmen, hasn't
''got it in for anybody, individually or col
lectively. The Citizen keeps its eye peeled
for the city's interests, which means the peo-
pies interests, and if anybody tries to curb
or to crush those interests, The Citizen
hastens to denounce such action.
All of which leads us to the matter in
hand. One day last week The Citizen pub
lished an editorial taking the people TO
task for not supporting their councilmen in
their movement to rid Duval street of
saloons and night clubs. The Citizen COM
mended the councilmen and pinked that
rockingham type of Pathfinder, who
makes no effort civically to try to promote
the interests of his community
And what happened? Several of that
type of resident said in effect that The Citi-
zen is riding again with the councilmen.
But The Citizen is not riding with the coun-
cilmen or with anybody else; The Citizen
is playing fair, playing fair with the council
men as we'll as with everybody else What
would the Man in the Rockingchair have
The Citizen do-rib the councilmen when
the councilmen are right?
The Citizen maintains that if the kind
of night life that is going on in saloons OH
Duval and on the street itself, continues to
go on, the blame for that condition fits just
as snugly on the head of the man in the
Rockingham as does the hat he wears.
When he stays home and cusses, instead of
participating in civic meetings designed to
promote the interests of the community, If
the outcome of those meetings are not in ac-
cord with his opinion, the only person to
blame is himself.
The Man in the Rockingham has never
assisted in building up a community; in
stead, he is drawback; if community
progresses it progresses in spite of him.
The local Man in the Rockingham
must get out of it and become active in the
civic life of Key West, if Key West is to sue
coed as it should succeed in postwar days.

 AS for the other team, every time the Juneau High School lads take the floor there ought to be a good crowd just for the spirit of the thing. But on top of that, Coach Tommy Powers has really whipped up a team since the first of the season The kids have won their last nine or ten games with ease. The team they tackle is going to have a bad time tonight
 The color of the event ought to attract some Juneauites even if they don't like basketball. The Juneau High School Band under Art Uggen will be out in full dress for the event. In addition, H a n Harmon and some of the boys have whipped up a number of stunts for intermissions.
 The games will start at 7:30 O. clock.

 Not even the players sh we d up.
 The Empire sports editor, and the High School janitor were the only ones in the gym at 7i3o O. clock when the first of two sched- uled games were to have started. So they got together and decided to call it off.
 Let's hope the response is a little bit better tonight. Because if it isn't, that fund for the bene- fit of crippled kids is going to take heck of beating.
