the fit of Mopsy's hat, rouses in him
emotions of such anger and despair
as almost wreck his reason. He
knows the world is topsy-turvy, that
the powers of good are tenn
porarily helpless against the pow
ers of greed, politics, stupidity that
are ruling now.
But gradually, as order emerges
from chaos all over the world, and
here and there progress is seen, this
nation and that struggling back to
decent rule, to new ideals of state
hood and citizenship, Sam will re-
cover too. Your good times may
have to wait for awhile, but they
will come. Even in peacetimes
many a pretty young wife discovers
that early married life is very
serious business, and that most
young husbands don't like to see
their wives dancing. And this is post
war time. Sometime we'll learn
that recovery from war is almost
as bad as war itself. It isn't the
men who die from a clean bullet
wound VINO pay lot the war, II the
others, like your Sam, who come
home sickened with the waste and
suffering of the camps, to find the
old life equally bewildering and dis
appointing.
Take time to win him back. Make
him important. Do the things he
likes to do. Go off into the country
with Mopsy for Sunday picnics, just
you three. Read books-read some
of the thousand books that are tell
ing US, too late! - how this war
might have been avoided. Discuss
these books with him, and let him
talk. With the right guidance he'll
recover from all this, and the world
will. Meanwhile, carry your tiny
speck of responsibility courageous
ly, and make your corner of the
world as bright as you can.

Diphtheria Unnecessary.

The deaths of approximately 1000
American children annually from
diphtheria are unnecessary and
could be prevented by early ad-
ministration of antitoxin in ade-
quate doses, says the Journal of the
American Medical association.
The available methods for control
of diphtheria are sufficient to allow
the complete elimination of this dis
ease in the United States. In l943 the
death rate from diphtheria at all
ages fell below one per hundred
thousand for the first time.

Is ONE thlng TO be war
widow, and be bored and
L lonely for three years."
writes Phoebe Cutter from Min
neapolis, 'but it's another thing
to have your man come home,
dissatisfied with everything, dis
couraged about everything, un-
willing to make the slightest
effort to rebuild the happiness
we once had.
"Sam and I were married five
years ago." the letter goes on. II
am not prettier than the average
run of girls, but I am pretty, q
now, and still loving to meet my
friends, to plan good times, and to
dance. 1t seems to me hard to think
that all that is out of my life for
ever. I'm good manager and
housekeeper, and despite the fact
that we have a daughter almost
four, did part-time work during the
war, and kept our financial head
above water.
Sam has his old job back, but
he is dissatisfied with it. His old
boss is dead, and man Sam
trained is boss, and making the
most of it. When I ask him to break
away he says he feels too old and
tired to try for a change. He is "a,
but seems much older than that. He
talks of approaching initiation and
depression, unemployment and hard
times; he thinks I have spoiled
Mopsy, and that she doesn't like
him. Of course, if he will make no
effort to win her affection, so small
girl is not likely to give it.
Nothing Matters
During the war my mother lived
with me. She is trained nurse, and
is now taking cases again. When he
first returned she suggested that she
leave US, but Sam protested, saying
YEARLY to me later that it didn't
matter how many persons lived with
us. That is his general position;
nothing matters. He drags quietly
through days of uncongenial work,
comes home to sit silently in the
sitting-room until say dinner is
ready, doesn't read the papers much
or listen to the radio. We have been
once together to movies since he
got home; then it was a war film,
through which he trembled and NUT
tered all the time. My heart is sick
with pity for him, but I don't know
what to do. I consulted psychia-
trist, telling him I thought Sam was
a borderline case. He only laughed
and said it would be years before
they got through the genuine cases
and came to the possible ones.
"And meanwhile men admire me,
and want to take me places for din
ner and dancing" the letter con-
cludes, land the best years of my
life are going by, and l don't see
anything ahead except housework,
baby care, and the endless efforts
to cheer Sam. What to do?"
Phoebe, my dear, l say in an
swer, this won't last. This is the
slow convalescence from war fever
that thousands - hundred of thou
sands of men are suffering, and
must endure for a while. To Sam
civilian life, with its vagueness, its
frivolities, its serene unconscious
ness of what he has been going
through, is stypefying. He can't get
used to it. He has been starved
himself, in prison camp, for weary
weeks and months, he has seen
strong, courageous young men
starve to death.
Trivialities Madden Him.

VICTORY GARDENS TO HELP

Declaring that the battle against
starvation lis just now reaching it's deci-
sive stages" Secretary of Agriculture
Clinton P. Anderson insists that the need
for Victory Gardens is greater in this first
year of peace than any single year of the
war.
The Secretary was addressing a con-
ference of workers interested in stimulat-
ing Victory Gardeners to Guido their war
time record, when, it is reported, 10, $780,
600 Americans produced forty per cent
of the fresh vegetables of the country.
Officials say that no matter how much
is produced this year, there will not be
surplus in view of the immensely of the
needs.
We pass the information along to our
readers because we have faint suspicion
that there may be a scarcity of canned
vegetables if the nation makes reason
able contribution to prevent starvation
that now threatens millions of people
throughout the world. In this event, the
victory gardener, who will presumably can
some of his surplus production, will have
things on his table, out-of-season, that will
not be available to those who depend
upon their purchases at the grocery stores.

LET'S SAVE THAT HOUR

Nine o'clock, the sun three hours
high, and the city hall, the county court
house and other places of business are
of the day gone!
It is to save some of that precious
time that many newspapers in Florida are
advocating that the time in the state be
put forward an hour, beginning April %.
II one of the three hours of morning
sunshine is used, then an extra hour will
be added to the time that employees and
business men will have after they have
concluded their days work. .
When work is over in the afternoon
or evening, there will be an extra hour, as
compared with the time of closing today.
Possibly some Key Westers will
object to advancing local time an hour,
because they prefer to spend that much
more time in bed, but, with most of us,
we are unable to sleep after the sun rises.
While The Citizen takes the stand
that every man should be accorded the
privilege to choose to his own liking, yet
we believe that, even nine out of 10 of the
residents who enjoy sleeping after the sun
comes up, if put to test, will admit that
they would appreciate very much that
extra hour in the afternoon or evening
that would result from the changing of
local time.
There's an hour more for fishing, for
golfing, for driving, or, if you don't like
any of those pastimes, for anything that
you do like, such as reading by daylight
instead of lamplight.
The Citizen trusts that the city COM
mission will deem it wise to advance the
clocks an hour in Key West, as they were
advanced when the United States entered
World War III.
