The great national political
contest is over. From Ameri-
cas- towns and cities, from the
seclusion of farms, from the
business a d professional
world, from all walks Of life,
the voters of the United States
have used the ballot-box to
show the world the real mean
ing Of democracy.
This election, and the poll
tical contests which preceded
it, have demonstrated that the
real issue, which isthe preser-
walton of the American tradi-
tons Of freedom and the
democratic organization Of So
ciety, far transcends politics.
What eloquent testimony this
is to the uniformity Of social
ideals and the ultimate goal Of

/ Key Kapers' second issue came
! out Saturday for weekend peru
sal by the USO-YMCA club on
Jackson Square and servicemen
throughout the city.
Edited by H. Hoey, the II
page mimeographed newsletter
has wide variety of articles and
verse for any taste.
Pirates around Key West are
featured on the front page. An
article there says:
Many of the lurid tales CT
wrecking days in Key West had
their real origins in 1905 and
l820's when freebooterS, pirates
and privateers cruised regularly
up and down the straits of Flor
ida preying on Spanish and any
other commerce which entered
the hundred mile wide gulf
stream area. 1t is quite true that
in those days false lights along
the coast lured vessels to de-
Stru ton"
The clubs new director, Dick
Evans, is given the right hand
column lead story. His back
ground in Y and USO work is
given.
Then there's pathetic little
poem called Why" which queries
why do Key West girls glare and
turn in fear when sailors come
to town? The poem winds up
with a plea for better treatment:
Some mothers say that folks
will talk,
If their daughters are seen
with you
But one thing they all seem to
forget,
That we have mothers too.
Because one sailor went astray
Why take it out on all?
Civilians have been known
to stray
There's no excuse at all.
Then comes a day boy is killed
Defending our great land.
And overnight a hero is born
From one who once was
banned

Newcomer and Henson of the
HS-l Power Plant Division.

motherhood. You feel like you are
pampering a spoiled child.

them nicknames. | call mine 'ach-

not? 1t is always with you.

If even glance at lar OF pickles,
he starts screaming
How does an ulcer feel? II feels
like a little demon inside you is
probing your innards with a blow
torch, You have TO fight Ike hell

But the sad fact today is that,
unless you become a 2-ulcer man,
sooner or later the idea is going
to spread that you are a shiftless
failure.

SAYS
By HAL BOYLE

NEW YORK R-Ulcers are what
you make them.
The ulcer used to be the Horatio
Alger disease. A man started eff
life poor but healthy, worked hard
and honestly, and ended up
wealthy-and ridden.
AM ulcer became a badge of
success. particularly in the movie,
radio and advertising fields, al.
though industrial leaders were
prone to catch them, too. The big
gag was: Even my ulcers are
getting ulcers"
But today the ulcer no longer
is an internal medal of nonor in
the struggle to get ahead. Some
how the word got around that ul-
GERS we're the product of tension
That Immediately made the ulcer
the property Of the common man.
For who in these times doesn't
brag about the tension he is un-
der?
Not TO have an ulcer now is
kind of rebuke of your way Of
life. an implication YOU have been
cheating by failing TO do your fair
share of the general worrying.
Even housewives. smarting under
the criticism they have a soft
touch, are developing more ulcers.
Either that or they are just tired
of hearing their husbands complain
about THEIR ulcers.
Such is the prestige Of the ulcer

of what the total will be in the second Primary which
will be held week from tomorrow. Carl Homer, super

It shows you lack determined spirit to complete

must urge carry him to the end of what he
started to do Otherwise he content to drift along
with the and leave to others to do what he should
have done himself
AS the voters whose candidates for governor
defeated some of them may not have second choice,
and their disappointment keep them away from the
polls But others will have second choice and will
express it and some will not.
Temperamentally, the two candidates for the guber
material nomination far the poles Few who sup
ported Oldham in the first Primary will vote for McCary
in the second and few who supported McCarty will cast
their ballots for Oldham For that it is hard to un
derstand why the supporters of either will keep away
from the polls next Tuesday. And yet that will happen in
many thousands of cases.
There is little difference temperamentally between
Kefauver and Russell. Both worthy and both
statesmen Russell is little conservative than Ke
fauver and little rmer in his stand states rights.

REVIVAL
SERVICES AT
MT. ZION

Revival services will begin at
the Mount Zion Baptist Church,
301 NV 9th ST., on Monday even
ing, April 81 at 8 pm, These ser
vices have been proceeded by a
week of prayer in preparation
therefor. The spirit already mani
tested is fine indication of what
the success of these meetings will
be.
The Rev. c. S. Fielder of the
New Bethel Baptist Church, Day.
tona Beach, will be in charge.
Miami will long remember the
successful meetings carried on by
this great Evangelist last year.
First at Mt. Zion, the Mt. Tabor
and finally at st. John. Many
souls were saved, but this alone
did not mark the complete sue
cess of those efforts, for the re-
vival of the saved was a great
spiritual blessing to this city.
The church and pastor extend
cordial invitation to all to
come to the Gospel feast and sup
with them at Jesus feet. Men and
women today are faced with
great fight to withstand these evil
days. They want security, COM
tort, and peace. This can come
only through faith in God and
prayer without ceasing. Come!
let all the people praise Him!
