WE
the Women
Bv RUTH MILLETT

1t was unusual enough to make
a news item: the wedding in which
woman stepped forward as best
man.
Even with the scarcity of men
these days it isn't often that a
women, has to act as best man in a
wedding because no man can be
found for the job
But even if few women ever get
called on to act as best men"
many a women these days is having
to be a good man."
There are the girls in uniform
who are becoming good men, in
their jobs, so that the men who pre-
viously held them down can go out
and fight.
There are the farm girls in ov-
erals who are being good men" as
they run the tractors that used
to be handled by their brothers in
uniform.
There are the slacks-clad wom-
en- who are being good men, as
they run machinery that would
have scared them year ago.
There are the young women who
are being good fathers as well
as good mothers for the duration.
There are the college girls who
are preparing to be good men" as
they switch from poetry courses to
math and mechanics.
SUPPORT FAMILIES
There arc the women who are
being good men, by taking over
the support of family for man
who has gone into the army with
a private'S pay.
1t takes a woman acting as best
man" to make news item these
days.
For the country is filled with
women who are pushing themselves
to prove that when, it is necessary
a women can be a good man" at
most jobs.

AMAZING PREDICTION, No. /

On the anniversary of Japan's treach-
erous attack upon Pearl Harbor, the Japan
csc people heard their officials declare,
over the radio, that the war resulted SrOin
the planned provocation of the United
States and Great Britain.
No citizen of the United States, so far
as we know, has arisen at this time to as
sert that the japanese officials are correct
With the nation at war, our isolationists and
pacifists are quiet They understand that
it is wise to keep their muoths shut now.
Strange as it may seem, We venture the
prediction that in less than six months after
our war with the Axis nations end, there
will be prominent Americans to proclaim,
in public addresses, that American partici-
patton in the present struggle was unneces-
sary and that it came about because war
monger Roosevelt planned it that way"
This forecast may seem amazing 10
some people, but it will be a repetition or
what happened after the last war; Then it
was President Wilson, the "dupe of British
diplomacy; now, when the war ends, it
will be President Roosevelt, who instituted
Lend-Lease in desperate effort to prevent
the totafitarian aggressors from over
whelming all other nations in preparation
for an assault upon the United States.
Of course, Pearl Harbor will be hard
barrier to climb over, but the easy-talkerS
and the selfish politicians will go over it like
monkey climbing tree The only hope
for the nation is that the people will remen-
Der what happened.

And now, prosperity for all, unknown before,
Just around the corner and before every door,

All trying to win this war, doing their best

WE SHOULD KEEP OUR HEADS

Here's an anomaly incongruity, or
whatever you wish to call it.:
The city calls on the military authori-
ties in Key West to- provide better protec-
ton of civilians against sailors and soldiers
who are inclined to step beyond the bounds
of the narrow path, and the Key West
Chamber of Commerce calls on the city and
The county to put an end to the laxity in law
enforcement.
No reply has yet been made by the mil
itary authorities regarding the request Tor
an expanded sailor and soldier patrol, but
Mayor Willard NJ. Albury, resenting the
chambers implication that law enforce
ment is lax in Key West, points out that the
city police are making more arrests now
than they have ever made before.
The truth is, in the last week or so, as
& result of the articles and editorials in The
Citizen, the policemen have taken on new
life in rounding up suspects or law violators
But truth should go even further than that:
before the general complaints were made,
the policemen kept the jail filled most of the
time
The arrests, though, with some excep-
tons, were for "disOrderly proceedings"
drunkenness and violations of traffic regr-
latiOns, which did little to break up petty
thievery Now, though, the police are on
the qui vive to arrest men who are found
prowling around streets or in yards at I'M
seasonable hours. Three such men, one ar
rested for trespasS, two for vagrancy, were
jailed Tuesday sight.
It is we'll for the police TO continue 30
found up "drunks' and it is most important
to enforce traffic regulations, but they
men who are unable to give good reason for
their being abroad late at night.
AS for the soldiers and sailors in our
community, there has been only one serious
infraction against the latter, though there
have been good many complaints about
their being altogether too presumptive with
women On the streets. That practice should
be stopped.
1t is refreshing, in that connection, 10
hear of Key West woman who slapped
sailors face and took his cap when he tried
to become familiar with her. That cap,
which he begged to be returned to him be-
cause he was a married man., will result
in his Identification. The woman, widow,
in refusing to return the cap, told him she
had two daughters, and that, if she did not
press her complaint against him, what as
surance did she have that he would not ac-
cost her daughters, TOO?
But conditions could be worse in Key
West far worse, because of its being so im-
portant a military zone. And while the
city, the county, the military authorities,
should exert themselves 10 maintain order,
we should not lose cur heads and fling ac-
cusations sweepingly against this or that
group that makes up part of our present
social life.
Nothing is easy to the unwilling.
