portrayed the legendary old gentle
man as roly-poly. broad-iaced with

Whether you enter the North
woods as a camper, forester, trapper
or bird lover, whisky jack (Canadi-
an jay) will be on hand to greet
you. He has countless notes, SO you
must decide whether he is sounding
of like the red-shouldered hawk,
Baltimore oriole or our blue jay.
He is one of the most friendly and
|inquisitive of birds-sober-minded
Industrious and ever on the alert to
steal food. He enters camps when
owners are present, going to their
food supplies with utmost uncon-
cern at, missiles. tossed at him.
Candles and soap intrigue him and
he loves chewing tobacco.
Long ago he announced his name

he is affectionately called whisky
Jack" He is also called camp rob-
Der" and meat hawk" because he
steals bait from traps, and moose
bird"
Although his vices are many and
his virtues few, he manages to keep
on good terms with campers. In the
quiet woods far away from neigh
bors, his incessant conversation is
welcomed. His way Of reaching your
! food supplies is entertaining.
| During the late winter he and his
mate inspect spruce trees upon
which to anchor the large, we'll built

these walls. If, during building

shows superior Intelligence, since

Natures Children
BY LiIlion Cox Athey

Father fits about during the 15-
day brooding stint. But the moment
his offspring arrive, he is an ardent
insect collector. The stuff he rams
down his infants throats appears to
be predigested. Each trip for tender
meat consumes Is minutes. His
babies do not scream and demand
food, but utter thin little squeaks.
Within two weeks they are clothed
in brownish -colored plumage,
dark crowns, slate-gray tails edged
with white. BY August you cannot
tell parents from children. Each Is
about the size of a plump robin.
You cannot mistake the Canadian
jay for any other bird in the neigh
borhood. The northern shrike is
the only other gray bird, and his
black wings, tail and bill are too
distinct to confuse them. Adult
Canadian jays have uniform soft
gray color with blackish hood pulled
down over white forehead. The flight
is graceful, more like floating, and
on special occasions there is the
little soulful ditty Of sweet clear
notes.

Try Something Else
When two methods of play are
available to you the selection of
the better one is not always a
simple proposition. Where there
are no clues to be gathered from
the behavior of the opponents, you
can do no better than fall back
on abstract probabilities. These
are not always easy to calculate
and sometimes you will be left to
your hunch or q toss Of the coin.
One thing is certain, If you can
arrange to try both plays you will
be increasing your chances for
success.
South dealt and elected to bid
q heart, though most players would
prefer to open with two no-trump,
holding a point count of %. When
his partner jumped to four hearts
he knew that he could expect a
great many trumps and very little
in the way of top-card strength.
But, since he had most of the deck
himself, he properly decided to
gamble it out for slam.
West opened a diamond. Declarer
extracted trumps in two rounds
and then went into huddle for
the purpose of deciding whether to
play East for the ace Of clubs or
the king of spades. There was no
way to tell, so he tossed a coin and
took the spade finesse. When this
failed the enemy had the vision to
cash the ace of clubs and the con-
tract was set.
It would have been extremely
simple for the declarer to have
made the hand, and he need not
have subjected himself to the
hazards of a guess. He could have
allowed himself both chances by
the simple expedient Of discarding
a club from dummy on the fourth
diamond, then entering the North
hand to lead. the remaining club.
If East has the ace Of clubs. the
king will provide q discard for
dummys losing spade. II West
should have the ace. Of clubs then
declarer still has the chance that
East has the king Of spades, so that
the finesse can yet be tried. It is
perhaps elementary arithmetic that
two chances are better than one.

DIPLOMATIC PARADE TO u. s.

The predominant role that the United
States plays in world affairs is seen in the
parade of top foreign diplomats to Wash
ngton, where they come for the purpose
of discussing problems of vital Importance
to their country and revolving around the
acquisition of money through some way or
another
In August, the President of the Phil
lppine Republic and the Foreign Minis
ter of Burma talked of business and fu-
ture possibilities. In September, Prime
Minister Clement R. Attlee and Foreign
Secretary Ernest Bevin, of Great Britain,
will be in the National Capital fiscal
talks but, undoubtedly, will discuss other
critical issues. Following their visit, the
Premier of India and the Shah of Iran are
expected in Washington.
The background for this procession is
to be found in the immense industrial pro-
duction of the United States. Leaders of
other countries that need the goods and
products of the United States seek ar
rangements that will permit their acquisi-
ton They want loans and grants, if they
can get them, but they also stress the at
tractive investment field that is opening
up IN their country for American capital.
We should not overlook the .destruc-
ton that occurred during the last war or
the dislocation of the production centers
OF the world Germany and Japan have
practically dropped out of the export
picture. This means a shortage in other
countries, which are compelled to look
to the United States as possible source.
Confronted by the scarcity of dollars,
without which they are unable to buy in
the United States, the statesmen of
other lands make every effort to discover
the means of purchasing American goods
and services.

OUR FUTURE PROSPERITY


That poem that speaks about the
wonderful, beautiful world tells only
one side of the story. 1t is similar to the
eulogy of man without mentioning his
shortcomings. va.
Granting That the world is wonderful
and beautiful, yet it is harsh and savage
when Nature runs amuck, CHASTITY man.
ifestations of its savageness are still strewn
over parts of Florida through Or near which
last Fridays hurricane passed
!. Yet, leaving Nature out of the ques-
ton, the world is exacting. Man, in his
early days on earth, Struggled from day to
day to get something to eat. Even today he
must work to live, generally speaking, and
that is why we feel regret when we hear of
friend who has lost his job. When that
friend is multiplied many times, as was the
case when Defense Secretary Louis john
son issued ansorder that will deprive 1876,
0OOcivilian employees in the armed services
of their jobs, we sense something of shock
when the job-losing strikes at home.
So it was when The Citizen received
news from Washington that 286 workers
would lose their jobs in the Naval Base in
Key West. Later, the same day, The Citizen
was informed by telephone from Washing
ton that Representative George Smathers
had succeeded in having the number re-
duced to rs. The following day he con-
firmed that statement by telegraph. II
should be added, however, that naval
authorities in Key West say that their
order, specifying 286 employees at the base
here, has not yet been modified.
While comparisons to the man who
loses his job are not enheartening, yet Kew
Westers were not the hardest hit by Secre-
tary Johnson, for which as a community
We should be thankful. Even leaving our
total at 286, it is more than 100 below the
Pensacola total, where 1913 civilian en-
ployes are scheduled to be laid off. The
order made clean sweep at Orlando air
base, all of whose 694 employees will lose
their jobs
Key Westers must be frank, as we'll
as firm, in facing the future We should re-
call that after the Spanish American Wer
and the first World War, the number of
employees at the Naval Station were whit
tied down, abruptly so years ago and
gradually after the first World War, until
it was put on an inactive basis. With world
wide peace established satisfactorily few
months or few years from now, similar
action at the station almost surely will be
taken.
Key Westers must grid themselves
when that condition comes to pass. And,
while girding ourselves, we must work
hard to make Key West an outstanding
tourist center. Therein Uses our future
prosperity
