CIVILIANS sHUN DEFENSE WORK

Many men and women in Key West
and Monroe county have given generously
Of their time to the development of meas
ures 10 promptly meet emergency events.
Unfortunately, the number of patriotic vo-
unteers is insufficient to properly man the
civilian defense organization and to assure
its prompt response to unexpected and sud-
den contingencies.
While an air raid on Key West may be
extremely improbable, it is not impossible.
In time of war, no nation can risk its safety
upon probability. Likewise, municipalities
and rural areas must be organized to meet
possibilities which lose much of their dan
gerous potentialities when adequate plans'
and organizations exist to meet the burden'
of catastrophe.
If some sudden misfortune should be-
fall tbs community without preparations
TO meet-it. the public would be quick to con-
denim It's leaders Here we have an instance
where-proper preparations have been made
but the-leaders find it difficult to persuade
individuals to make their contributor to the
war effort of the nation.
lathe present emergency, there is
place Tor every man and woman on the
home front Unlike the Axis countries. the
United States employs no force to make its
citizeus do their civilian duty

Other accounts were highlight-

The most unusual entry was
one of a II cents charge - for

counts were replete with charges

MORALES BIG BROTHER

Every man his own caddie," used %
be pet saying of a happy-go-lucky CLUB
swinger on Key Vests golf course. Since
the Quebec conference has been in session,
every radio commentator has been his own
guesser.
We listened a couple of evenings ago
to four different commentators, and every
one of them made different guess of the
decisions that would be reached at the con:
ference. Hitler was the man who was be-
ing lined up for the worst drubbing, said
one commentator and another was just as
sure plans were being made to begin imme-
dately to pound TOTO into submission. Italy
was the country picked out for the next in
vasion, said third commentator, and a
fourth felt confident that the smash that
would open the second front would occur in
France.
And so it goes: take your choice, or
form your own conclusion. The fact is. as a
commentator declared, probably the strict
est military secrecy of the entire war is be-
ing maintained at Quebec, and, so far as the
public is concerned at this stage of the pro-
ceedings. one persons guess is as good as
another's.
What our military strategists are do
ing is net for us to know the right attitude
for us to assume, in keeping up or promOt-
ing our morale. is to have confidence in our
leaders. Confidence is only another word
for morale. so it may be asked: What is the
confidence today of the German people in
their leaders?
The Jap warlOrds may go on intermin-
ably to fool their sheep-like people. but not
so with the Germans. However much we
may denounce them for their ruthlessness,
we must admit that they are a highly intel
ligent people. On that basis. il is not amisS
to assume that the German warlOrds, having
fooled their people so frequently during
this war, are not fooling them now, except
i'm extreme cases.
The German people have been prom
ised victory until they are now sick at heart.
They have been given propaganda, in the
guise of truth, that later turned out to be
false At first they might have swallowed
Zine, hook and sinker" of what PrOpagan-
da Minister Goebbels told them, but when
il dawned on them, as it has time and again,
that what he said was false, their conf
dence in him surely must have been broken.
And an unstable confidence plays havoc
with morale
German morale has been undermined
there is no doubt about that. but to
what extent we do not know, but we do
know that when it is broken. the German
will realize. as they did in 1918,
that further fighting will be futile.
So let us maintain our confidence in our
leaders, and. while maintaining it, fully APP
preciate that il immeaSurably aids the cause
Of the Allied Nations for the leaders to
secrecy. But there is an important
thing we should guard against don't let our
confidence lapse into Over-cOnfidence. Over
confident people don't exert themselves, be-
cause they feel there is no need for eXertion.
and what applies TO people individually APP
plies to nation as a whole
So be confident and guard against
over-confidence. for confidence is morales
