$4,000 Pupils Troop to Glasses
AS Montgomery Schools Open
Eighty Bus Drivers Make Rounds, Bringing
Pupils TO $40 Teachers in 81 Institutions

Nearly $4,000 children came by
county bus and on foot as the fall
term opened in Montgomery Coun-
tvs 81 elementary, Junior and senior
high schools.
On the job today-alupg with $40
teacheIS-were 80 bus drivers for
the county school system.
A typical one, William H Nichols,
who started his sixth consecutive
year on the school buses today,
paused at the Rosemary Elementary
School,. Chevy Chase. after deliver
ing his last load, to say that driving
scores of children each day is neither
work nor strain for him.
Il never have trouble with the
children said Mr. Nichols. pointing
out he had raised seven of his own.
If they make any trouble l just
speak to them and somehow they
usually mind me"
Privileges Sometimes Suspended.
II he finds an unusually difficult
one, he said, he visits the parents
or the principal and sometimes a
childs bus riding privileges are sus-
pended for a few weeks.
Mr.. Nichols is on to all their
tricks. He recalled that the older
children some times try to get free
bus rides, explaining their parents
haven't given them their bus fare.
Il always suspect that they've
used the money themselves, the
bust driver chuckled.
Like the other drivers. Mr. Nichols
estimated that he covers about 35
miles day. He rolls through Roll
ingwood, Rock Greek Forest and
Ridgewood Valley, taking children
to and from Leland Junior High.
Bethesda Chevy Chase High School
and Rosemary School.

NATION MUST GUARD ITS VICTORY

There are in Congress a number of
members who want to get the boys out of
the Army regardless of what happens
when they leave. Senator Edwin C. john
son, of Colorado, admits that he would
abandon American overseas commitments
rather than delay the discharge of service
men.
We cannot agree with the contention
of some Congressman and many Ameri-
cans that the most important job before
the nation is the release of men in service,
The nation has won great victory but
unless it is ready to implement it's triumph
by positive action in enemy lands, there
is danger that the fruits of victory will be
lost.
The only way that the results of the
war can be made permanent is for the
United States to assume it's share of the
obligations and this requires that we main
tain an adequate armed force abroad.
Admitting that some soldiers are
necessary, the only question that arises
concerns the extent of our rehabilitation.
Obviously, the men in service should be
released in accordance with the length
of their service.
The War Department drew up fair
plan, giving veterans points for various
factors and the rehabilitation of our
veterans was based upon the, points ac-
cumulated. This plan, if it has been I'M
hampered by political pressure and home
front demands, would have assured the
nation of an adequate Army and, in addi-
ton, the plan would have assured every
veteran of square deal in regard to
getting out of service.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1946-02-12
so LONG AND GOOD LUCK

The Citizen recalls the day, when
Stephen C.. Singleton, then editing the
Overseas Sunday Star, conceived the idea
that Key West, despite the depression,
would be helped by chamber of COM
merce.
He discussed the matter with us and
we assured him that The Citizen would
support his efforts to organize a local
chamber. So he began a tour of the town,
day after day, till he felt he was in a
position to announce that.a new chamber
had been organized in Key West.
His salary was meager, but, DESPITE
it's smallness, some weeks he went without
salary or only part of it. But, seemingly,
that condition spurred him on in his en-
deavors, and the time came when the
chamber was functioning efficiently.
Now that his services are about to be
concluded as manager of the chamber, he
has expressed his gratitude to the direc-
tors for their cooperation and their readi-
ness to adopt suggestions designed to pro-
mote the interests of Key West.
Mr.. Singleton has exceeded more
than decade the Biblical three. score and
ten and, though he is still mentally alert,
the duties of the office are so trying they
should be performed by a younger man
experienced in chamber of commerce
work. Such man can be obtained through
the Florida Secretaries Association of
Chambers of Commerce, which does for
that organization what the National City
Managers Association does for cities that
are in need of managers. ~ XII
So long to Mr.. Singleton, who will
continue to reside here, and good luck to
his experienced successor.

VETERANS AS CITIZENS FIRST

Almost every day few more OF our
servicemen come home, and many OF thenl
have expressed a desire to JON veterans
oroanization-no only to have a good
time. but to make sure that some Of the
hopes they fought For become realltles'
This strikes us as a good idea. People are
having attention to what veterans have TO
say these days, and eX-servlcemen can
have an effective influence if they flnd
a suitable channel through which they can
voice their opinions. There are more than
.ixtv veterans organizations some very
small. some very big. Some are holdovers
from other wars and, like elderly individ-
uals are set in their ways. Some have
started up suddenly in the last few months
and will probably disappear with equal
sWiftneSS before too long. One new group
that seems to have a good chance of Ion
gevity, and of real service, is the American
Veterans Committee, which is holding it's
first national convention in March. AVG
is beginning to grow. It had only fifteen
thousand members at last count, but it al
ready has more than seventy-five chapters
in this country, and twenty-one abroad.
ana IL mas pldyeu dl dCIINe anu HCelllS0Hl
part in national and international affairs.
One of AVCs guiding principles is that
veterans must not be governed by self-in-
terest; that they can best help themselves
by helping the community to which they
belong Men who have seen action know
the desperate need for teamwork. They
know that an Infantryman cannot advance
far without friendly ships on the seas be-
hind him and friendly planes in the air
above him. They know the futility of seek
ing temporary personal advantage at the
expense of others with whom cooperation
will later be necessary. Some veterans have
been fascinated, for instance, by the pros
pert of a quick bonus; many Others have
recognized that the payment of such a
bonus would probably dislocate our econ
omy and that they themselves would event
ually suffer, as citizens, from this disloca-
ton. AVG does not want Veterans @to be-
come a class apart, wing with feHrest of
the nation for whatever crumbs of favori-
tism can be wheedled from charitable adj
illustrators and legislators AVG wants
its members, and all veterans, to achieve
prosperity as citizens of a prosperous ma
ton.

and his protest with one gesture.
The orchestra blared suddenly
as if high lighting her progress

She knew the foreign looking

sure of her intentions. Another
attendant approached her eau
tiously at the head of the stair

Up here the air was cleared
and studded with the c1ink of

dice around the board. It was as
if these men were too busy to
smoke. Whit stood in the center
of a close packed crowd and. as
old Eugenia had prophesied, a
loud, plump woman hung on his
arm. His face was lighted with
excitement and Edith saw that
he looked not too drunk and
very handsome.
She pushed through the crowd
and grasped his arm. He shook
her off, not turning. Then Edith's
voice, alight with fury, pierced
his concentration.
