TIME TO HELP

The right of any business to advance
by the initiative of its owner or manage
inert, operating on a competitive basis, has
given this country merchandising system
that is now of incalculable value TO con-
sumers in money saved, and in the greater
variety and better quality of products and
merchandise offered.
Retail stores never before faced such
problems as today. Securing goods for dis
tribution requires expert knowledge, fore
sight and an understanding of laws and
regulations heretofore unheard of in this
nation.
There is one request that merchants
now make of all consumers: Between now
and the time full war rationing takes effect
late in February, don't hoard. The mer-
chants ask this because they are cooperat-
ing with government to the utmost to avoid
disruption of consumer supplies. Merchan-
disers, no matter how efficient, cannot dis
tribute products that don't exist. Lend-lease
and military demands have made deep in
roads on supplies of all kinds. 1t is up TO the
consumer to cooperate in dividing what is
left

To use few big words, The Citizen
is not familiar with the ntricacies, the COM
plexities and the ramifications of the diff
ferences that have split the City Council
in twain, with three on one side and three on
the other, on the question of buying trucks
for the collection CT trash and garbage, and
is concerned only in seeing that the residents
of this community are given service in the
removal of refuse from their yards
SO long as the service is kept in opera
ton, there is little objection to the exist
ing differences, but this outstanding neces-
sity the council should keep in mind: con-
tinue collecting garbage while the having
and hemming goes on. The situation is some
thing like that of a grumbler, who keeps
on working while he grumbles. Such an at
titude is by no means satisfying, but if the
grumbler does his work we'll, we put up with
his complaining in times of stress.
At present the council has five trucks
collecting refuse, and they are operating at
top speed. Those very differences may have
something to do with the fast work the
scavenger men are performing. The coun-
cilmen on both sides of the fence are de-
mandirg quick and efficient service and
are getting it. At the rate refuse is being
collected now, the trucks will be operated
on a more systematic basis within few
days. Schedules can be made and adhered
to, if the work continues at the pace that
has been set in the last few days.
Fighting mad makes some of us
work better and faster, too. The great
BenvenutO Cellini turned out some of his
outstanding masterpieces while he quar-
relied with Pope Clement VII, and Cellini
himself says in his autobiography that the
angrier he was the faster and better he
could work.
The Citizen is not lining-up with
either side in the councils three-three split.
But there is one thing The Citizen cannot
understand, and it probably has stumped
the residents of Key West also, and that is
this as the council required a majority vote
to negotiate for the purchase of trucks,
how did it come about that, when the time
came to buy the trucks the vote became a
tie?
However, the big thing is to give Key
West good service in the collection of gar
bage while the councilmen find a way to
bring their differences to an end.

WHERE is THE JAP ARMY?

The New York Times asks: What has
happened to the Japanese Army and why?"
It reminds us that six months ago the
Japanese were ready to march into Siberia
and month or two ago they were set for
a campaign from Burma toward Chung
king.
Certainly, the japanese Army con-
tinues to be stronger military machine
than most Americans thought few years
ago. Apparently, it is held in place by some
shortage, either of planes or ships. The
probability is that the Japanese lack ships.
This is clearly seen in the inability of
the Japanese to land reinforcements and
supplies in New Guinea and on Guadal-
canal. The persistent use of cruisers and de
stioyers to make speedy dashes during The
night, in the effort to land some supplies,
demonstrates shortage of cargo vessels, or
what is worse from the japanese stand
point, the complete loss CT sea and air con-
troll in the areas of contact with the enemy.

Mr.. Winter has gone up North
With his wind, sleet and snow
Telling all the people it is time
to go
To a land where the sun is al
ways shining
And the Summer breezes blow,
Where the air is filled with sweet
perfume
And the roses are always in
bloom
That is Key West.
You will never get lonely,
So many places for you to 60,
You may dance the rhumba
Or the Hi-de-ho,
In Key West.
There is a Bowling Alley
And a Skating Rink, too;
Lots of good picture shows
And the best of USO's,
Where they will make you feel
at home,
In Key West.
And if your hobby is to swim,
Just stroll down to the beach
Where the waves are always
singing.
Come on in, the water is fine,
Don't be afraid of a chill.
You won't get goose pimples on
your skin,
In Key West.
There's a carnival and bingo, too,
Where you can try your luck, !
And lots of fine places to 60
To get your dinner for one or
two.
And lots of things you will find
new
At Key West.
And if you linger on the beach
Til Mr.. Moon comes out,
Don't think he is watching you,
He won't open his mouth.
Then there are other things to
see
And places where you can rest
And you will only find them
In beautiful Key West.

FROM THE NORTHROPS'
SCRAPBO0KS
AMERICAS RAILROADS
RIGHT OF WAY FOR USA

When Uncle Sam wants to
move troops he calls on the rail-
roads. He is moving a million
men every rnonth-and our Army
is getting bigger every day. A
million men fill a lot Of passen-
ger cars, so you can get some
idea what ''right-of-way for the
USA really means.
1t means that, with what's
left over, we have to carry the
people who travel on business
those who take trains to conserve
the nations rubber supply, and
all the thousands of soldiers who
each week travel by rail on fur
Tough.
1t means that we have to dig
out all the passenger cars we can
find, because war demands for
critical materials prevent us
from getting new ones-and some
cars brought back into service
lack the conveniences of those
built in recent years.
So we know you can under
stand why reservations and seats
are sometimes Scarce-why cars
aren't always as spick-and-span
as we'd like to have them.
But we've got a war to win
and to win it, every piece OF
railroad equipment is doing dou-
BILE duty. There is nothing else
to take its place today.
Don't waste transportation. Plar
early. Make reservations. Buy
tickets as far in advance as pos
sible. Avoid weekends.
Do your travelling in the mid
die of the week, whenever pos
sible. Travel light. Limit youl
hand baggage to actual require
ments. Other baggage can be-
checked.
If, plans change, cancel your
reservation promptly so as tc
help the other fellow.
