that. "A prophet is not without
honor. save IN his own city"
There is an explanation for that
sad fact The prophet probably
saw something out of killer" in
the neighborhood and annoyed the
neighbors by calling attention to
1t. Prophets usually get in trouble
by talking toe much. My interest
in Key West. and my disregard
for popularity, leads me 10 suggest
that. if Key West knows what is
good for. it, it win incorporate in
to its building code a provision
that the plans for every dwelling
must include plans for a practical
and sanitary ciStern.
We all agree that the needs of
our armed forces take precedence
over civilian needs, il is not diff
cult to determine that the water
supply, locally and nationally, is
diminishing Ii is. certain that the
needs of the Navy win increase.
There. was a time when we de-
pended upon our cisterns. At that
:ime, it was noted that Key West
was free of the enteric diseases,
suffered in towns with polluted
water supply i
Old Timers viii remember that
soon after the mainland water was
made available, some eager beav-
or thought up a plan to drum up
business for the water statesmen,
by having the City condemn all
cisterns.
That ordinance was revoked at
the next meeting Of the city faith
ers, and those who had good els
terms continued to enjoy them.
Here is an episode of long ago
Two disappointed boomers were
returning from Key West on the
F. E. c. Flyer" and nothing in
Key West was good enough for
them, especially its water An old
Cuban lady sitting in the seat
back Of them, stood it as long as
she could. She thrust her head in
between them and demanded,
What's the matter with you? We
don't drink out Of dirty hole in
the ground like you people do.
We get our water right from
Heaven. And, nothing is too good
for Key West. So, let us have our
cisterns when the Navy says,
Sorry, but

another satellite. the new Com
munist regime Of China, thus
compounding the original
felony.
These are all simple facts,
though not perhaps as gener-
ally understood as they should
be. This is q good day to think
of them. for they add up to
the great overwhelming fact
which was very clearly ex-
pressed by President Truman
in his message to Congress last
week:
Ever since the war, the free
nations have been working to-
gether to create a world COM
munity in which each nation,
respecting world law, can play
its distinctive and honorable
role"
That is the reason for Korea.
That is why the United Ma
tions acted to meet the first
challenge by aggression to the
world community and its world
law in Korea, and it is that
for which American boys have
fought and died in Korea, and
for which young men Of other
nations Of the world have given
their lives there.
It is a noble ideal, but at
the same time q very practical
course Of action -and the only
one-if civilization is to survive
and the men, women and chill
dren who constitute 1t are to
survive as free people, which is
the only kind Of civilization
worth living In.
It is as ideal and practical
as our own war for freedom
in the American Revolution.

Union came, and 1t is as ideal

The French armies under

Joan Of Arc. appeared. She was
a peasant girl who had only
faith on her side. She prayed
for the winds to shift and thus
enable the French military
leader to move his forces on
the Loire to attack and deliver
Orleans. Her prayers were heard,
the winds shifted, and the de-
