The Time Had Come

A friend of ours lunching in a
crowded midtown restaurant
preached to his waitress the sub
ject of a SECOND lump of sugar
and got sternly turned, and dress
ed down. When she had gone,
he. felt a tug at his sleeve and
looked up into the eyes of frag-
disappearing old lady in chok-
er collar who had been sitting at
theme table. 49,.
Here you are, young man.

per, and pressed into his hand a

doubtedly dredged up from a

The speeches which Sen

ia the senate, in relation to
car foreign policy have
been constructive and dhave
undoubtedly contributed to
clearing the air of partisan
politics IN cOnneetionii'with

less. the general terms out

exclusively TO Europe and to
maiters arising out of the
late war. ~ @
A foreign policy how
ever. must take into consld-
cation more than the ques-
f.ans that exist in Europe. 1t
nust even include subjects

frum the termination of the

JEoPARDIZE VICTORY?

General Dwight D. Eisen-
hover, who led our armies
to victory in Europe, says
that as long as we have the
problem of occupying enemy
Countries, the Army will
not be able to get along
with less than a million men.
eff we don't have Them"
he declares, 1--WE will
jeopardize the victory we
have won."
The General has just re-
turned from the Pacific. He
knows about the conditions
in Europe. He points out that
the job that the nation must
do is immense and that it is
unfair for the same men
to stay on and do it." and
consequently, eve mu S t
spread the load',' and the
only way to secure sufficient
men to replace those who
will otherwise have to stay
in foreign countries.
The Situation of the ma
ton, in regard to the pos
sible, acquisition of soldiers,
is apparent from the state
ment of Secretary of War
Robert. p. Patterson, who
says that ga survey made
last week showed that only
$4,000 men are left in the
draft pool and this is a ma
ton of 140,000.000." No
wonder he concludes that
the Selective Service auth
critics "are frustrated and
helpless"

THANK Nh. sTRuNK

Editor, The Citizen:
Please allow us space in your
valuable paper to express sincere
appreciation to one of our public
spirited citizens.
During the recent world con-
flict the members of the Key
West Lions Club voted to honor
those who had gone forth from
our community to serve their
country in her hour of need by
erecting an honor roll board with
their names Inscribed thereon. We
were faced with the problem OF
suitable site and after much
deliberation we decided to re-
quest the use of the lot at the
corner of Fleming and Simonton
streets from the owner, Mr.. E. A.
Strunk, Jr. Mr.. Strunk very gem
erously agreed to the use of his
lot for the duration of the war
and six months thereafter.
In fairness to Mr.. Strunk we
have voluntarily RACED the honor
roll board, feeling that it has
served its purpose well. We do,
however, wish to take this oppor-
tunity to express our grateful
thanks to this public-spirited citi-
zen for his generosity which en-
abled us to pay just tribute to our
boys and girls in the armed serv-
ices.

COMMENDS HUMANE
SOCIETY
FORUM


Editor, The Citizen:
l desire to take this opportun-
ity to publicly express sincere APP
probation to the Key West HUI
name Society and especially to
its agent for service recently rem
dered. A short time ago I receiv-
ed telephone call from my home
informing me that my three
year-old son had been bitten by
a dog.
Upon arriving home l decided
it would be necessary to take my
son to the Municipal Hospital for
treatment. After receiving med
ical attention l then reported the
matter to the Humane Agent and
within an hour the dog had been
taken into custody and has been
kept under observation for ra-
bieS.
This is vital service to our
community and l do feel that the
Humane Society deserves COM
for its efforts.

THE FIRST STEP

DIR. /. p! Gardner, head of
the .dispensary at the local
submarine base, epitomized
the unsanitary condition in
Key West when he said:
"City fathers S h 0 u ! d
loosen up and clean up.
Garbage disposal is impos-
sible. If flies are the cause,
then clean up the city. Other
cities are cleaning up, why
not Key West?,'
We assume that DR.. Gard
iner, in stating that Gar
bage disposal is impossible"
| meant under the practice
NOW in force in the sanitary
department, b e us e we
have the sea in which to
dump our garbage. Were
the dumping done twice a
week, with garbage ,collecr
tons twice weekly, flies
would not be given time to
breed in garbage. '',--
In disposing of garbage,
Key West is now far worse
off than it was several de-
cades ago. Then we had an
incinerator in which to de-
stroy garbage, but it has not
been used in many years,
and it is doubtful If a rem
nant of it can now be found.
Several times movements
were started to buy another
incinerator, but, as is the
usual thing in Key West,
they died a-bornihg. Then,
several months ago, it was
proposed to- carry garbage
to sea and dump it, but OBJ
lection was made to using
Che place,t Caroline and
Gripnell streets, from which
to load garbage into the
Scows, and that movement
has since died a-borning.
Why was not the norther-
ly end of Simonton street,
owned by the city, used as
the landing place for the
scows? True, there is no
wharf there, but a wharf
would have had to be built
off Grinnefl street also to
provide accommodations for
the .scows and a tug that
would have towed them, so
the lack of a wharf could
not have been the reason for
not using the Simonton
street site.
the present system
of collecting garbage only
once, a, week from resi-
dehces, flies are given, suf-
ffeient time to breedi'hi 1.-THE
garbage before it is taken
/ away, jlbutl iiflneollections
were made twice weekly,
with three intervening days
between COLLECTIONS, flies at
least would not breed in
yards. j dit
The first step, IN ifaprov-
ing sanitary conditions in
Key West, should be the
collection of garbage at
least twice weekly.

That Atom Test

We have heard predictions that the
atom bomb test, planned for July, will do
everything, from causing huge. tidal
wave which will destroy the Pacific coast
to bringing an end to the world.
But the experts testifying before the
senate naval affairs committee have made
it clear that the only things which will be
hurt will be the ships on which the bombs
are dropped.
After reading the testimony of. men
who ought to know what will happen, we
feel that it will be perfectly safe, on the
night of the big event, for the American
people to go calmly to bed without even
pulling the covers over their heads.

The Dairy Program

Work on the Kraft Foods plant, which
has been undergoing extensive remodel

means that the plant is expecting contln-
uous growth of the dairy business. One
official of the company aptly stated con-
fidence in the territory was expressed
when the plant was established here and
that confidence in the future is further
demonstrated with the expansion and re-
modelling program, which will provide the
patrons with a still broader outlet for
milk.
This area is indeed fortunate in hav-
ing such plant. And we might add that
the company is also fortunate in being To-
Gated in this ideal dairy section. With the
interest the farmers are taking in the pro-
gram and the progressiveness Of the off,
Gals of Kraft and other outlets we are
confident that the dairy program will con-
tinue to expand.

We have only to become aware of our own
surrounding wooded areas to experience
all that the author felt when he wrote his
great classic.
Some of us already do. One need only
talk to the average woodsman to be i'm
pressed with his deep love for the forests.
And many farmer feels somehow a little
closer to the wonder of Nature because
among his own acres he has set aside some
of them so that woodland could flourish.
The tree is one of Gods truly great gifts
to man. Not only has it brought unending
beauty to the earth but it has been largely
responsible for the development Of mans
civilization.
The forest gives mankind the materials
for fuel and housing The top quality
pulpwood from the forest gives him paper
without which no progress in education,
invention or business would be possible.
Truly, our "green mansions" are among

The Tattler

A tattler is a rattler =
With buttons on his tail,
He tattles and he rattles
While he delivers his mail.
His tongue is rather forked
And loose at both ends;
He huffs and he puffs
While his message he sends.
His eyes are sharp and beady
And he never helps the needy.
"a false rumor he delights stc
! spread ST .Ss
From his brainiess little head
I'll tell you tbs fl tai you nat
But don't tell, it came from under
my hat. s Va
It may be false, it may be SO,
But help me keep it on the go.
His mouth is large and roonay,
His lungs are charged with air,
With this evil combination
He sends it through the air.
His nose is like a poker
That decorates his face,
But it doesn't have the evidence
To make out it's case.
His ears are trained for gossip,
In this he does delight;
A storage house they do serve
Until it takes it's flight.
His breath is tainted with lies
But he seldom ever signs.
His chin, in a helpless position
But it's headed for perdition.
Mr.. Tattler, for heavens sakes,
You'd better put on the brakes,
For if you fail to do so
Overheard you're sure to go.
And when St. Peter calls the roll
You'd better take a stroll.
For all tattlers should learn
They're not worth a durn.

Fire Prevention Time

Recent presentation by the National

standing public service in fire prevention,
to Chicago radio station and the Burling-

stress the growing need of fire prevention.
Fire losses are near an all-time high, reach

goes hand in hand with "spring cleaning"
Spring is clean up time And there is no
better place to start than in your own
home. From the basement to attic the
refuse has been gathering during all the
long winter months. Closets too in many
homes are stuffed with -inflammable
junk. Now is the time, in the first warmth
of the new season, to spend few hours
putting things in order. 1t takes but little
time, and small bonfire in the back yard
may save larger one in the deadly con-
fines of closet or cellar at later date.
Another point that should not be over

the adequacy Of fire insurance policies.

Control BY The People

In the final analysis, whether we have
about initiation or not will probably de-
pend upon the people. More important
than what laws we have or don't have
will be the question of whether we will
be willing to sacrifice buying things we
want if prices get too far out of line.
IT the public refuses to pay $4,000 for
an ordinarily low-priced automobile, there
is no doubt that the price will come down
to one the public is willing to pay.
If the majority of us would make up
our minds not to be "suckers" and would
60 on strike when prices got too fantastic,
initiation could undoubtedly be kept under
control
