KEY WEST THE BEST

Somehow OF other l believe in
personal contacts and l think
more of us should get out and
invite state and national officials
to Key West, both to enjoy their
presence and have them enjoy
Key West and for the out and out
civic benefits of personal contacts
With these sources. A number of
state officials are we'll known in
Key West and know officials here
and these contacts are reaping
benefits. Others are being guided
around the city on tours by in
dividuals interested in a oh, how
horrible Key West is plan of pro-
cedure. I guess Key West boys
in the services have gotten in
more verbal scraps over their
home town than most other men
l know. but there is one thing
which sticks in the mind of the
person you have argued with and
that IS that there is deep-felt
love for this city and that there
fore Key West must have some
hidden springs of power and beau
" and eventually they will come
here to see what it is all about.
The time is long past when we
are ashamed of our city, the time
is now when Key West The
Best" is the theme song.

CITIES IN A COUNTY

Another plan would be to deSig-
nate them as municipalities, each
with their own tax plans and
over all the county plan of taxa
ton. Then these individual cities
will each tax according to their
population and needs and certain
county projects developed by the
central county city board at Key
West, the county seat. Projects
such as SchoolhouseS, water lines,
lateTals. highways would come
under this head. Now, this brings
I'D further difficulties.

A NEW FEATURE

The motives that inspired this
daily column all revOlve around
the central thought of creating
a better Key West for better sat
isifed. happier Key Westers and
visitors. In this small way it has
been the desire to provide a clear
ng house for thoughts. ideals and
suggestions that may some time
in the future jell into concrete
action for the betterment of all
We believe our readers will agree
we have made an honest effort
toward this end. Yet, somehow
the thought persists that some
thing is lacking something
that vitality affects the lives of
all of US. This something lack
ing" cannot be felt or seen, yet
it should dominate our lives, it
should fill our memories and rule
our hearts. Which brings us to
the purpose we have in mind TO
supply this need. In this columns
endeavor to help create a better
way of life. If cannot. and must
not, overlook things spiritual Up
to now it has been giving you
the doings and savings Of man In
the future, as often as possible,
daily if space allows, The Citizen
will also feature a new column as
a religious contribution TO the
better way of life for its readers

ing and my wife's staying home. That's
woman's place. Another thing - it seems to
me that we won't have to worry 50 much
about juvenile delinquency if there's some
body in the home looking after the kids"
Battling in this fashion seems to be our
ancestral burden. There was discord in Eden
and at all times since.
Always the two halves Of the human race
have struggled for supremacy Especially in
the period following major war are men and
women at loggerheads. War brings about
temporary revolution in the relations of the
sexes. One might say the women get out of
hand. This happened in World War l. and,
before that, in our Civil and Revolutionary
Wars. But after this war the women will
probably put up stronger fight for suprenl-
acy because this wars changes have merely
climaxed generations of feministic progress
| HE battles in the coming war on women
will be three: the battle for jobs, the battle
of the birth rate, and the battle of personal
ascendancy But may God help the men, the
women and the United States of America if
the men lose. At least for the next generation,
the patriarchal family must be restored and
strengthened. Women must bear and rear
children; husbands must support them.
First will come the battle of jobs. Because
we must have jobs for returning veterans as
we'll as for millions of displaced war workers.
many millions of women are certain to be
forced out of industry We hear lot of easy
talk about 100000 postwar jobs, but such
figure is more possibility than a prob
ability. Even today. at the peak of our war
effort. we have, as of August, 1914, somewhat
less than 81. .OOO, 900 employed in civilian pur-
suits. An estimate of about 55,O00,000 post
war jobs, therefore, seems generous. Even it,
by some miracle, there are 6O,OOO,000 jobs,
Evening star., 1945-02-18
A battle of the sexes follows
every war. Here's what an expert
thinks may happen after this one


WTHEN our soldiers get through fighting
" Germans and Japs, they will have to
fight their own women For the next war IS the
war of the sexes Founded upon the Oldest
antagonism in the world, this ancient conflict
sometimes shoulders but it never dies. 1t is
not savage war but very important one,
because our future depends upon its outcome.
During the war years. American women
have forged steadily ahead in industry,
politics and education, but the soldiers prob
ably will put an end to all that when they
return. Several soldiers, wounded on widely
separated war fronts, recently spoke their
opinions, about women working after the war,
in no uncertain terms. They, speaking for
themselves, said woman's place is in the home.
Tech. Sgt John A. Price, who was wounded
in the European theater. is married and has
little girl. AFTER the war" he says. women
will be needed in the home. They're needed
to rear children to become good citizens. Our
civilization needs homes, and the woman is
the foundation of good home"
Now convalescing in Halloran General Hos
ptal is CPL Fred Bienstock who says: I'm
married. My wife's working now, but we want
to start a family as soon as possible. You
can't have family when the wife is
working. | want her to quit, and let me
do the supporting. Anyway, there aren't
going to be too many jobs and the men
ought to get 'em. And something else: II a
woman isn't married; she certainly isn't going
to be unless she quits her job - or is willing
to quit"
Wounded in the Middle East, CPL Otto
Makovy declared, I'm not married. But
when am, I'll insist on doing all the support

Occidental Restaurant
Employees Benefit
lin Mrs. BuchhoIz Will.

Several veteran employees of the
Occidental Restaurant are to bene-
fit under the terms of the will of
Mrs. Christina Buchholz, owner,
who died here last Monday at the
age of ST, leaving an estate valued
at approximately $597 ,000 A petit
ton for probate of the will was
filed yesterday in District Court
Mrs. Buchholz's estate included the
restaurant business, cash and prop
erty valued at 100000, real estate
valued at $225, 900 and stocks and
bonds valued at approximately
$72, 900.
Mrs. Buchholz owned only a life
interest in the building housing the
restaurant, it was explained by At
torney Cornelius H. Doherty, named
executor in the will. Debts listed
against the estate total approx
mately $4,000, according to the
petition.
After a number of bequests are
taken care of, the will instructs that
the residue of the estate may be
reduced to cash, at the discretion of
the executor. and divided equally
among Fred Merkle, a STEP brother
who is steward at the restaurant, !,
Mrs. Louise Stoner, a niece, of Ar
lington, Va, and a nephew, Gustav
Blank, Arlington At least for. a
time, anyway, the famous restaurant
business will not be sold, it was
learned.
Besides Mr.. Merkle, the restaurant
| employees who are to receive be-
quests include Raymahd A. Deaner
auditor, who is to receive $4,000;
Charles b. Simmons, manager, ST.
600, and Albert Herbert, $500. Other
bequests to relatives and friends
run from $500 to $1,000.
The will also bequests $1,000 te
the German Orphan Asylum ane
$1,000 to the Concordia Lutheran
Church.
Mrs. Blchholz was the widow O
Gustav Buchholz, who died in 1925
and the mother of Fred Buchholz
who died last November.

President Roosevelt now can tell
his grandchildren he has been in
augurated in all kinds of weather.
Looking out over the sonw-cov-
cred White House grounds today, he
could recall the January. in 1887
when he took the oath of .office for
the second time in a cold, driving
rain.
Or he could think back to the
grim days of March, 1888, when the
skies matched the gloom that hung
over the Nation. The only one he
can remember with pleasure was
his third inaugural in 1941, when
the bitter cold of the night before
Inauguration day gave way to bright
sunshine
While inaugural guests had to
stand ankle-deep in the snow
unless they managed to crowd onto
the thin strip of tarpaulin near the
portico-they could be grateful for
one thing-it wasn't raining. Fol
security reasons they could not use
umbrellas.
Details of Washington police
warned in advance to wear >ade-
quate clothing because they could
not be relieved, were fortified with
coffee and sandwiches. Two patrol
wagons sped to the White House at
10 am, carrying 300 sandwiches and
