cHAFF AND WHEAT

How much longer is the general I'M
concern in Key West, in the primaries to
be held in May, going to last?
Not much longer, according to state
ment made to The Citizen by one of Key
Vests most active politicians.
He remarked that it will not be long
now before things will be humming' and
likely what he said was true, for the apathy
since the beginning of the year cannot con-
tinue much longer unless it is to run into
election day. y 3aoi ass osla az -e ssa
There, is not even passing interest in
Key West inthe races for the United States
senate and the house of representatives,
and minor interest only in the contest for
state senator.
Two races in Key West that probably
will become ''sizzlers" are for state repre-
sentative and for county commissioner
from the fourth district.
In the latter contest, propaganda,
directed against one of the aspirants, is
making the rounds of the town. The man
who is the butt of it informed The Citizen
that charges made against him are with
out foundation.
He undoubtedly will learn before
many more days pass that he will not be
the only candidate about whom lies will
be spread, for the seasoned political
worker,aa as a, rule, feels that it is of little
consequence whether a charge is true or
false so long as it accomplishes its purpose.
That is the way of dirty politics. here,
there and everywhere It as sYsrio1 remlnldfal
of the old story that regafdlessiaof how
good man may be, he can not go through
political campaign without being smear
ed with mud.
But Key Westers are not easily fooled
indeed, as a rule, they are something of
adopts in separating the political chaff
from the wheat.

GREAT MEN ARE HUMAN

a d IT, s
20. S0meone has defined friend as a
person all of whose faults you know, but
whom, You like anyway. No one expects
perfection in friend-it's only in people
whom we don't know that we expect per-
lection. Let a man become leader among
any peoples anywhere-let his name be
splashed across the newspapers he
mustSbe perfect. If-he acts like a human
being and makes mistakes, or even says
things with which we don't agree, we have
a tendency to condemn him completely.
Benjamin Franklin sagely observed of
the founding fathers of this country that
when you assemble number of men who
have the advantage of their joint wisdom
you inevitably assemble with these men all
their prejudices, their passions and their
errors of opinion, their local interests and
their selfish views" This has been abund-
antly clear in the first meetings of the
United Nations Organization Too many
Americans have shaken their heads and
said, why did we ever hope it could.
work anyway" AS the UNO comes to the
United States, and its leaders ceatipue to
act like the human beings they Me; Get us
accept them! and take their faults for
granted-as we do in our friends. Selfish
men in Philadelphia laid the foundations
of a new nation. Today's selfish men, in
this hour of urgent need can lay the
foundations of new world.

1t won't be long now before the public
will hear protests about the use of two
hundred pigs, two hundred goats and three
thousand white rates il . connection with
the test of the atomic bomb near Bikini
Atoll.
II seems that the hardhearted men in
charge of the test wish to secure some in
formation as to the effect of the explosion
upon human beings. 1t is important that
this information be secured and, according
to our opinion, much better to use animals
than to use human beings.
Certainly without some living thing
on board the targets, there is no way to
ascertain the effect of the atomic explosion
on human beings.

T. T. Hamilton, principal of New
Hanover High school, is the recipient
of extraordinary honors from the
Southern Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools.
Not only is he reelected for a second
three-year term on the Commission on
Institutions and Secondary Schools. He
is also appointed a member of the Com
mittee on Standards and Reports of the
Commission on Institutions of Higher
Education.
In the latter capacity he will re-
view academic standards of colleges
and universities in eleven Southern
States.
1t is a fine tribute to Mr.. Hamilton's
efficiency and reflects credit not only
upon the Association but New Hanover
High School and Wilmington as we'll.
Certainly the splendid effort he has
put into raising the high school here
to its exceptional standard Of excel

institutions in the Association.

In something of a reminiscing
mood the other day l got to talk
ing to Ed Ciemmons, the Wrights-
vile sound fisherman who's plan
ming big doirgs m the sink net
industry, about catches of fish.
Whether you know it or not, it's
either a feast or a famine in the
catching of fish-and that goes for
shrimps, oysters, CLAIMS, and all
types of seafood.
Also, the commercial fishermen
can spin yarns Of as mammoth
proportions as the sports fisher
men. Sometime, l think, even
mammother, if there's any such
word.
I a telling Ed about a New
Years Eve in Morehead City some
years back. For some reason I've
never been quite able to explain
to myself, l was mixed up in the
sink net industry. New Years Eve,
of all times, is when you do not
wish fish if you're in the fish
business. People just don't buy
fish in any quantities during that
season.
Well, the Gay was fading into
dusk and it was as cold as Is OF
80 fathoms below the surface OF
a cold sea. I'd told the boys around
what we called the receiving plant
that it was so cold nobody was
going to do much fishing that day,
particularly since it was New

batten down the matches of the
receiving plant and we'd all &C

Canadian players are very proud
of Donald Farquharson, who en-
tered the Canadian Army as a
private and came out a brigadier.
Brigadier F~arquharson, in play
ing today's hand, made what
thought was a very fine deduction.
His bid for four hearts was a
forcing bid to his partner, and
when West bid four no trump
showing a heart stopper, Don went
to six spades.
The opening heart lead held the
trick and, although Farquharson's
queen had dropped on the ace,
South continued with the jack OF
hearts Dummy's king won and
the five of clubs was discarded.
Now the nine Of spades was led.
When North played the three-spot,
concealirg the deuce, declarer had
to decide whether or not to take
the finesse.
His decision was that it should
not be taken because South hao
deliberately led a heart to put the
lead in dummy Knowing that Eas'
probably had no entry into dunn.
my, South had given him his only
opportunity tc take a finesse.
Recalling the warning, beware
OF the Greeks when they come
bearing gifts" Farquharson went
up with the ace of spades anG
dropped the singleton king.
