The belief in equality and

When Ginger Rogers mother
told the Rankin un-American5
that the film line, share and
share alike-that's democracy"
was objectionable because it
was 'communistic," she could
have made the same charge
against the New Testament.
For in Acts 2:24 there are
these words: THE believers
shared everything they had
with one another" And in Acts
4.32 we find. But they shared
everything they had with one
another" 1t was not until the
church itself became rich that
the idea of sharing equally
this early communism-was re-
jected in practice.

BY THE ECONOMIST

Industrialists, already reap
ing more coin than ever before
in their history, are using the
recent United Mine Workers
wage gains as loud excuse for
another ride on the super
profit whirligig.
The miners pay boost, they
say, means the price of coal
must go up, and that means the
price of steel must jump, and
that will force price rises in
autos, refrigerators, washing
machines, farm equipment and
anything else made within
sight or smell of steel.
To be blunt, they lie in their
teeth. The coal operators, for
example, who have already
boosted prices an average of
zoe ton, told their stockhold-
ers that a considerable part of
the l5c hourly increase won by
the miners would be absorbed
by higher productivity. lAnd
it is a Is cent boost. The 45c

Veterans BACKING
Alaska Statehood

DR.. Warren S. Moore, State
Commander of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, revealed today that
the Veterans of Foreign Wars
urge statehood for Alaska as a
measure of national security and
with the view of providing new
development frontier for veterans.
"The paramount objective of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, now
that the war is over, is winning
the peace In order to accomplish
this" DR.. Moore emphasized, 1--WE
must never forget that one of the
great lessons of World War II
was the advent of air power as
the most destructive striking force
known. Consequently, as an air
base Alaska has become one of the
key strategic areas of the world"

G. |. Insurance

There are three worries that
plague every man.
One is the fear that he will not
live long enough to see that his
family is cared for. Ordinary life
insurance is recognized as the
answer to this worry. Another
Fear is that he will live sstoo long"
and not have enough to live on.
An endowment policy can provide
for old age.
The third and perhaps the most
frightening fear is that he might
become disabled so that he can no
longer work.
The government has also pro-
vided for that last contingency in
two ways in National Life Insur-
ance. The first is part of every
policy without extra charge to
the veteran, known as the prem
ium waiver clause. It provides
that if you become totally dis
abled continuously for six
months period or longer, future
premiums will be paid by the Gov
eminent. No lien will be made
against the policy because of
premiums waived. In addition,
any, premium payments made
after the established date of dis
ability are refunded.
It is important to remember that
total disability as applicable to
this clause, is not necessarily the
same as that for pension and com
pensation purposes. For insurance
purposes, total disability is de-
fined as any impairment of the
mind or body which continuously
renders it impossible for the in
sured to follow any substantially
gainful occupation.
Another clause, known as in
surance disability income, may be
added to your policy for small
extra premium. A physical ex-
animation is required to establish
evidence of good health. This
order provides that should you be-
come totally and continuously dis
abled for period of six months
or more, an income of SIS per
month per 81 900 of insurance will
be paid beginning with the first
day of the seventh month and con-
tinuing as long as the disability
exists. Both disability features
are effective until for Goth birth
day, but is disability begins before
reaching your Goth birthday, the
Government will not discontinue
the benefits for that reason.
Any veteran who has estab-
'ished a war-incurred or war
aggravated disability (other than
total in degree) has the same privi-
lege of buying the disability in
surance or reinstating or buying
new insurance from now until
January ], 1850, as a veteran in
perfect health.

and increase the security of our

SAVE STUMBLE

With one of the driest winters
on record, Supt. Harley D. Jacquot
of the Adams branch experiment
station, Lind, warns against burn
ing stubble prior to the first spring
tillage. There is a chance for
severe wind erosion this spring
unless sufficient stubble is left on
the surface to cover the dry pow
derry soil of the Big Bend area"
Jacquot says.
During the last twelve years,
Jacquot points out, the farmers in
the region have enjoyed the bene-
fits of the high soil moisture co..
ditions. With less moisture this
year, they are endangering the
soil by burning.

Children's shoes


In selecting your children's
shoes, you should consider fit,
workmanship, materials and price,
according to Consumer Reports.
Have the child's foot measured
with his weight on it. Feel for
the big toe through the upper to
see that it is about "a inches from
the tip. Try on both shoes. Have
the child walk around in them
for few minutes before you de-
eide.
Consumers Union found great
lack of uniformity among shoes
bearing identical brand names and
style numbers, with no single
brand being found consistently ex-
cellent or even good in all mate
rial and construction respects.
In tests of Is brands, Gu found
Pediforme $3.50 best, followed
by Official Boy Scout Shoe $(6.95);
Indian-Walk t$8.55). Thorn Mean
$3.50; Coward Flex- Wear Sole
t$4.45); Kinnaseptic Educator
(S4.50) were among the best of the
lower priced shoes.

outgrown unless it is plenty large
to begin with.
A separate helmet affords more
freedom of head movement than
a hood attached to the suit. A scarf
will take care of the cracks be-
tween helmet and collar and keep
the wind out.
The scarf should be tied in back,
if worn outside, so that it will not
interfere with the child's view of
his hands or whatever he is play
ing with.
1T is better for a two-piece suit
to fasten with Upper or outside
buttons rather than with hidden
fastenings which are frequently
shown in the stores.
The ski pants of two piece
suit should hang, like overalls,
from the shoulders and have tight
cuffs at the ankles.
The cuff is better worn outside
the golash to prevent snow from
lodging at the top, melting and
running down inside.

Brown rice is the most nutritious
and if your family will take to it,
you will get the best food value.
Otherwise try to get the so-called

SUSTAINED EFFORT

key West can be almost anything we
desire it to be-" Glenn C. Price, president
of the local Chamber Of Commerce, de-
clared in his report to the members of that
organization.
That statement is couched in truth. A
city is what it's residents make it. Key
West, up to the turn of the century, was
easy -going because residents wished it to
be that way. Since then there have been
many movements, designed to promote its
progress, but none of them has been sus-
tanned till recently, and most of them were
fitful and died a-borning. M
Suggestion after suggestion, each of
them good, was made, but before it was
we'll under way, interest in it waned and
finally died out. Always, after few
months, sometimes a year or so, interest
was whipped up in some other proposal,
which eventually went the way of all the
others.
Consider the endeavors in any city
with which you are familiar, and if they
had been brought to fruition, that goal was
attained only by concerted and determin-
ed effort.
Heretofore, Key Westers have been
prone to turn loose few hurrahs about
a proposal, but when the hurrahs ceased,
no striking power was left to carry on
the proposal to successful conclusion.
1--WE can do almost anything we de-
SIRE only if we continue to hammer away
to beat down difficulties that may arise
and that, sometimes, seem insuperable.
That is what st. Petersburg, Miami and
other progressive cities in Florida have
been doing consistently for many years.
And residents of those cities, even though
their growth has been rapid, are ever
alive to new opportunities, and work just
as hard to take advantage of them as they
did in the days when those cities were as
small or smaller than Key West.
Sustained effort and determination are
the chief elements in the making of city
as well as an individual.
