EARLY SPRING NOTES

Upon the first sweet tulip bud
 My eager eye doth focus; And soon its blossoms will, I'm sure Be jonquil or a croeus, Forsythia'S gay, abundant bush
 The less prolific heekles-- Except my own, whose blooms are
 more
 Or less like Sprinkled freekles, The Iris Is a peaehy plant;
 know of none that's Sweller, With irises I have no luck
 Unless you count the weller hate to pull a weed in spring,
 For here's the fix that I'm in I think It's NOT a weed until
 It's big enough to climb in The pioneers. they planted trees,
 According to the early need; And I would like to slit the throat

City Offers LotFor Jail

Not waiting for a federal building, efforts are being made for the construction of new fed- eral jail and living quarters, as the present quarters leased from the Kodiak Realty & Investment company, must be vacated by June 30.
 Deputy U. s. Marshal Paul Herring, in Anchorage, has con- tacted Dayy officials to deter mine if surplus materials are a. Vailable to be assigned for con struction of the new building.
 He has also requested a build ing site from the city, explaining that flu ds are not available for land purchase. The city went on record as favorlng a site near the proposed Federal building site, which is understood to be the plot of land now containing the Fish & Wildlife and Bureau of Indian Affairs buildings, across from the Russian church, but also went on record as being in favor of providing a portion of the city hall lot for federal jail use
 The city hall land, between Horsman's Beauty shop and the fire hall, was Cnce granted to the Army for a prophylactic station and later to the ACS for a build ing for the latter, but neither completed their projects and the land stayed with the city.
 The proposed building will have cells for 20 10 30 inmates and offices on the ground floor, md living quarters and women's ail on the t p floor. It would be of concrete.
 Marshal Herring is going to Washington, D. C to contact his department in regard to the proposed structure.

 To Robbery

 the local skating rink led to the arrest Saturday of Willard E Berry, young ex servlcemah. on a charge of burglary following the breaking in last week of the Island Fountain and disappear ance of about $85 and some gro- cery items
 Dean Moore, youth employed at the rink, had been told to watch for mutilated coins, which were among the missing loot, t,and when Berry gave him some he reported to James Martz, Foun- tain manager. The latter notified George Slawson, acting deputy Marshal, who went to the Rlnk and had Berry pointed out to him, but left to see if he would spend more of the suspected money.
 When MT. Slawson returned later Berry was drunk and was arrested on a drunk charge and taken to lalI.

FORWARD MARCH OF
CIVILIZATION

The United States and
Britain are the most intel
ligent nations, and the best
governed in all the world.
They have brought together
so nations. Americas best
statesmen have used every
possible Eff fort to ere
ate honest understanding
throughout the world, and,
bring about peace on earth
and good will towards men.
In every instance in which
Russia has kicked over the
traces and refused to cooper
ate with the United Nations
that country has shown its
unworthiness to be trusted
or to be included in this or
ganization of lifted Nations.
II they We're to be GUS
tOdians of the atomic bomb,
then Germany should ex-
pect to be let in on the Sc
crets.
Our own Senators and
Representatives have gone
the limit in trying to tame
Russia, but most major eff
forts, so far, have failed.
Russia cannot be trusted.
The time has come to quit
fussing with the Communists
and that includs fussing
with Americans who sup
port those ancient, semi
savage programs.
The United Nations can
win the iobjectives of peace
without the consent of Rus
STA. If they don't want to
advance civilization by out
having wars, it is practical
to let them go their own
simple ways.

SWITZERLAND FOR
SAFETY

The home of the almost
defunct League of Nations
was situated in Geneva,
Switzerland, and the newly
organized United Nations
sought the permission of the
Swiss government to center
some of its activities in the
building constructed by the
League in Geneva.
The Swiss government;
however, feels that it can
not allow meetings of the
Security Council, or its mil
itary staff committee, be-
cause of the possibility that
any action ordered by the
Council on its soil might be
considered a breach of neu-
trality by Switzerland.
The Swiss, it should be
understood, have maintain
ed a traditional neutrality
through most of the wars of
Europe and their concern
for the permanence of this
policy has kept them from
applying for membership
in the United Nations. They
appear to be willing for the
United Nations to use the
League buildings in connec-
ton with activities that can
not be confused with mill
tary matters.

ROAR OF DISAPPRovAL

Some Kye West mer-
chants have informed the
public, through The Citizen,
that they will not advance
their prices because of the
removal of OPA ceilings,
and probably that trend
will be generally locally I'M
til an OPA bill is re-
enacted by congress.
One thing of a beneficial
nature that may result from
the sdiscontinuance temper
arily of price ceilings is the
curling of the activities of
the black market. Meats,
for instance, will be routed
through regular channels at
market prices, whic h
means as much, as the mar
ket will stand.
Regarding black markets,
about which The Citizen
commented a week ago, we
have since noted that DR..
Morris Fishbein, editor of
the American Medical Jour
nal, said that anybody buy
ing meats of that type is
likely to be affected with
tapeworms, dut to improper
treatments meats undergo
in the black market.
With the exception of
rents, the absence of OPA
will not create any ldispro-
portionate increase in prices,
though the President said
he feared that advances may
range from 10 to 20 per
cent. That may turn out to
be true of essential COM
modities, but. even in that
case, with the upping of
prices, consumers will buy
less than had been their
wont. which will result in
the creation of Surpluses.
Quick turnovers are the
objects of all dealers in
commodities, but there can
not be quick turnovers in a
cautious market. Besides, in
many lines, buyers strikes
will become effective.
In Key West, as well as
in other parts of the coun-
try: fear has been expressed
that prices will mount to so
great an extent the Amer+
lean way of living will be
ruptured. One may be sure
that viii not occur. Every
member of congress is n.y.
preventative to public senti-
ment because he is an elect
ed official, and congress.
would act quickly on OPA,
or anything else, when a

proval reached ! Washing7,

the suggestion of an ex-

The idea may have some

There can be no general
