Not that many women have 10
worry about more than one pair OF
nylons. But the worry over a lone
pair Is perhaps more OF q strain
than the worry over dozen.
First there is always the weighty
decision, before she goes out for
an evening, as to whether or not
the occasion is worthy Of her one
pair Of sheer, hattering stockings.
If she decides 1t is, she is UNI
easy all evening for fear she'll slip
on an icy walk and fall down, tear
ing out a knee, or that there viii
be dangerously rough edges on a
bridge table chair, or that a runner
will pop when she Stops over to re-
trieve a dropped handkerchief.
If she makes 1t back home with
the precious nylons snag and run
ner free-she draws a sigh Of re-
lief.
That is the kind of torment the
HAYES must go through every time
they venture forth in all the glory
of their one sheer pair Of stock
ings.

His trail we've found on craggy hill.
His highways thru lush valleys,
His love of humble country folk.
His lore in timber tallies.
The patient stearing of our thoughts
Toward sane and simple pleasures
Sound guarding all our heritage
Thru wisely thought out measures.
From Sherwood Islands teeming tides
To Quaddick's lonely beaches,
We sense a sound expanding plan
Which blesses while it teaches.
We rarely knew when he was veXed,
We ne'er saw signs of rancor,
Toward only sham and vile pretex
We sensed his righteous anger.
We've worked with him,
We've dreamed with him,
We've loved him as few can,
A Forester, Diplomat
A Christian Gentleman.

THE STORY: Kitty Bishop
comes TO the suburban home of
her brother, Ben Graham, and his
wife, Peg, to recuperate from her
sudden divorce from Collins
Bishop a meteOrically successful
young lawyer.
CHAPTER v
KITTY lay rigidly wakeful. 1t
IN was the faint but just distin-
guishable murmur from Ben and
Pegs room that cid it to her.
Loving and losing. What you
didn't know didn't hurt you, but
what you'd had and then had to
learn to get along without, hurt
plenty. That faint murmur from
another room, two people together,
belonging, was heavy punishment.
And she hadn't slept well for a
long time. She kept remembering
things and trying to puzzle out all
the reasons why things had gone
wrong. She could see some of them,
but they didn't add up to the whole
answer.
What puzzled Kitty now, what she
tried to remember and couldn't,
were the little things that must have
pointed like arrows to trouble
ahead. To the really big danger sig
nails Of last November. November
seemed almost further away than
the dazed happiness of sudden love,
the wedding commotion that was
over three years away. Last Novem-
Der seemed another age, not just a
few months away. Before she was
divorced. Before Pearl Harbor.
Kitty remembered lying awake on
another night, in November.

AS THE KEYS GROW

Key West is not the only
place in Monroe county
where politics is seething. In
Tavernier a proposal has
been made to make that viii
lage a city. and the propon-
ents and opponents are just
as hot as are the two fac
tions hi our city government.
AS for Tavernier, its pro-
posed organization as a city
IS a matter for residents of
that place to settle among
themselves. Leaders of the
movement paint a glowing
picture of what will result
should Tavernier become a
city, but the picture painted
by the other side is black
and full of pitfalls.
Regardless of the outcome
of the Tavernier proposal,
many stable villages, which
may or may not become
cities, will dot the Florida
keys between Key West and
the mainland. The keys are
now being discovered" as
they have never been be-
fore. Several large invest
ments have been made there
in the last two years, and
there are reports that others
will be made.
Chief pulling power on all
the keys, including Key
West, are climate, boating
and fishing. As for climate,
they form the only part of
the United States where
frost has been unknown
within the memory of man,
and that memory" has
come down to us from the
earliest settlers.
The local Weather Bur-
eau has never issued a re-
port about frost in Key
West. That makes us unique
in the United States. Incl
dentally, the word unique"
frequently is employed with
little thought to its signifi-
canoe, but it is rightly used
in this case.

FREE PRESS MUST
BE TRUTHFUL

There is an admirable APP
probation of a "free press"
in the United States, but we
are afraid that some of those
who laud journalistic indie
pendence are claiming too
much for it when they assert
that it can keep the peace
of the world.
The proponents of the
freedom of the press, as APP
piled to international af-
fairs and relations to every
country of the earth. are
likewise prone to cover too
much ground in their asser-
tons. While the unrestricted
acquisition and publication
of news is a valuable instru-
mentality of progress, it is
not a miracle-worker. a
1t is quite true that a free
press can expose the facts
and call attention to supici-
Gus behavior, either by in
dividuals or nations. and can
champion the causes of civil
ization and peace. 1t is just
as true. however. that a free
press can also lend itself to
propaganda campaigns that
over-emphasise partial truth
and thus present to the pub
lie an entirely distorted pic
ture of the true situation.
While we join with other
Journalists in proclaiming
the virtues of a free press,
and believe that it is neces-
sity to the progress of peace,
we are also conscious of the
obligation that such a press
must assume. 1t is not only
to have the right
to print freely. but it equally
important that what is
printed reflects a fair and
accurate report. Even with
the best intentions of indl-
viduals who do the work OF
the press, this is often hard
to accomplish, but it IS es-
that the ideal be
kept in mind along with the
freedom demanded.
