"You're too impulsive to see what
I'm driving at. Let me tell you, it

Sure it does. But it doesn't pay
to be overly careful. How does
Valera feel about it,"
"How does she feel? How do
you think she feels? When
girls in love she knows enough
to be careful herself"
Meaning of course, that Walls

wait until you get through analysing
and justify or compensate her
shortcomings in your mind"

But is she gets tired of waiting
and marries some one else in the

Don't be ridiculous. Val won't
marry anyone else. I know what
I'm doing"
Barry let a fortnight elapse
before he again preached the
subject of Val. 1t ranked him,
and he felt better to get it off
his chest. "Hate to mention it
again, Hugh, but Val seems to
think you've been neglecting
her lately. Can't blame her
much, either"
"Cut it'll" Hugh looked ugly. II

Good. Comparing the someone
else with me will be the best thing
in the world for her-and me too"
Hugh was annoyed. Blast it, why
couldn't Barry mind his own bust
ness? Why did he always have to
keep worrying about Val It was
plain as day that he didn't under
stand women. Val knew q good
thing when she saw It. She loved
him and was willing to wait. She
was smart.

Barry that so Barry would tell
him. Childish. Why, even first

YOU that was nothing but feeble
attempt on the part of the female
to excite jealousy in the man she
loved.
Three evenings later Hugh's
phone rang. 1t was Barry. He
sounded far away. Cant hear

mOuthpiece. "Talk louder"

more distinctly, THAT the thing l

ADVENTURE-THAT'S SCOUTING

Did you know that citizenship-train
ing can be an adventure?
Take time out during Boy Scout
Week, which marks the seth Birthday of
the Boy Scouts of America, to observe in
action the theme, "Adventure-4-That s
Scouting" and see it's far-reaching effects.
Community service projects, emergency
service training, safety, education, and
conservation practices-all of these chal-
longing activities are undertaken by the
Boy Scouts of America.
Institutions which sponsor Boy Scout
Troops have found many advantages in
giving their boys Scouting opportunities
1t enables them to add program of youth
conferred character and citizenship under
the general auspices and atmosphere of
the institution. This tends to strengthen
the Royalties of youth toward the institu-
ton, because Scouting has been willing to
lose itself in the institution, and thus be-
come part of the institution. All this brings
benefits for the whole community, and
stimulating satisfaction for our boys.
"Adventure-that's~ Scouting" is a
phrase-with meaning-for all of u.s.

TEMPERATURE TRENDS.

Day after day, the temperature in
Key West is higher than that of any other
city in the United States. But South Florida
as a whole has had balmy weather during
the extreme cold in many parts of the
country. 1t is hard for one in this area to
sense full realization of the hills of snow
and the below-zero cold in Nebraska, the
Dakotas, Montana and several other states.
That disparity in temperature. gives
one good idea of the vastness of the
United States. One part of it sticks it's
fingers into the cold blasts coming from
the Arctic, and Key West, at the southern
most end, is only 24.8 degrees above the
equator.
But Key West climate stands out as
exceptionally warm more so when chilling
northers blow down the east coast of South
Florida. Under those conditions, Key West
is always warmer, sometimes from Is to
20 degrees more than Miami.
This winter, however, has been so un-
usually warm, many Key Westers have
been heard to remark they would APP
preciate having few ''nipping northers"
this year. That wish probably will be real
lied before the winter is over Sometimes,
as late as. the middle of March, northers
occur in South Florida.
Because of Key Vests being farther
South than any other city in the country,
many tourists who come here think we
must have extremely warm weather in the
summer. One such visitor recently went
through The Citizens files to learn the
kind of weather we have when the social
ed "dog days" come to pass. He was agree
ably surprised to learn that it is cooler in
Key West in summer than in many other
parts of the United States. In the 78-year
history of the local Weather Bureau, the
highest summer temperature has been
slightly more than 81, with a normal tenn
perature ranging in the sos.

Our PEOPLE WANT PEACE

The strong sentiment for international
peace in the United States is evident by
the fact that practically every public of
fetal in the United States, when speak
ing about war, prefaces his remarks with
an expression of the opinion that they do'
not.expect war.
This is evidently an attempt by the
leaders of the nation, and especially our
military men, to avoid the stigma of war
nOngering This is what the Russians call
practically everybody who does not &C
captthe Communist idea of a new world.
Ills an opinion. frequently expressed by
headline hunters in the United States, in
Guiding many leaders of religious organi-
zations
."i,-,There is no reason to blink at the fact
that the nation is spending billions for
preparedness because of the belief that
there might be war If this belief does
not obtain in official circles, there is no
eXepse whatever for the expenditure of
$l5,O0O,OOO,OOO ON our Army, Navy and
AirForces.
The people of the United States might
az well understood now, as we'll as later
that International peace is delicately bal
anced. The Russians possess tremendous
power in Europe and are showing strik-
ing success in the spread of Communist
power in other regions. Whether the
leaders of Russia are ready to gamble on
war is speculative question to which no
one can give a certain answer
Facing this uncertainty, the United
States finds itself practically the only
pGEr the world, financially able to
lnild up the strength necessary to pre-
@nt tfE Russians from taking over the
Garth. Under thes circumstances, it is the
lRrt of wisdom for this country to be
thoroughly prepared for any war that
May begin. 1t should not be necessary in
csnnection with this enterprise, to pay
Verbal tribute to the peace-mongers.
. Let's face the facts and admit that the
Quilted States is ~ arming itself ON ire

Isrpose of being ready to fight war If
tse Russians begin it. To do anything else,
