They don't have to wait for a dog

ways 20 gamble in Key West right
now.
Now for the merchants of the
city. Everytime a new project is
mentioned in Key West they are
up in arms bowling about the mon
ey they will lose. They are making
too much now with their higher
prices than anywhere else. They
want their cake and eat it to. Tour
lists are supposed to come here
and spend but only in Key West
stores. No stranger is to start any
thing new it might take some of
the local merchants 200 percent
profit. They want the city to grow
and progress but are always throw
ing out the old rusty anchor of

to hold us back.
Personally, I'd much rather see
clean, slick racing dog chase a

the local race of dirty, drunken
men chasing the B-girls stuffed
with liquor, or the well stuffed bus
inessman chasing the lean, sleek

THE DOG TRACK AND
YOUR pOCKETBoOK"

Editor, The Citizen:
Mr.. Aronovitz says that there
will be winners at the Dog
Track. And this makes the pub
lished figures on the take
wrong.
Anyone who has ever been at
a race track has seen the odds go
down on a favorite until the win
ner gets back less than he has
bet. You can break the bank on
any other gambling game if not
fixed but never does race. track
lose. Bookies only flourished in
Florida because the break was
better for the bettor.
st. Petersburg, home Of the
oldest dog track, can boast of a
town that is full of retired peo-
pie on pensions, they also have
35c hair cuts, the BARRIERS should
think this one over.
1t is theoretically possible to
get rid of Dog Track if it is
not desirable. Practically if you
take a petition to any merchant
for signature he will tell you
that he may favor your proposal
but has customers that he fears
he may lose if he takes any pub
lie side in controversy.
What can more tourists bring
us this winter but less water in
our homes, and a Dog Track
operating at night will burn a
lot of electricity from our new
power plant, which will be
at capacity without this extra
load. Residents of Monroe County
can you afford to vote any but
no?

Men and women are born to

19 years ago, at the 18th Congress
of the Russian Communist party.
1t said it still holds true.
"Stalin," recalled the Comm
form journal, placed before the
Communist party and the entire
Soviet people great historic task:
to overtake and outStrip in the
next 10 or Is years the main capi-
taliStic countries ... in volume of
Industrial output per capita of
population"
Taking 10 years out for the war
and for the re-esta blishment of
prewar levels means the Soviet
economy has now put in nine years
toward achieving Stalin's ambition.
That theoretically leaves the So
viets about six years to go to
reach the goal.
But Western diplomats say there
isn't a chance that Stalin's hopes
will be realized. There have been
too many changes since 1888. The
war upped L. S industrial strength
to a point where, even il its cur
rent output of steel stood still. il
would take Russia at least until
1865 TO catch up.
How then can Russia hope TO
surpass the United States economi-
cally?
The Cominform editorials give
an answer 10 that. They lay down
a policy ~hich Moscow apparently
hopes viii carry Russia to q life
Of abundance for the Soviet
people" That policy includes;
/ A feverish effort TO increase
production in RusSia's satellites.
2. Attempts al cooperation and
trade With the West 70 help the
Soviet economy.
3. Radical expansion of Russia's

Had Enjoyable Evenings
At Miami Deg Tracks"
Editor, The Citizen:
In regards the current battle wag-
ing over the proposed dog-track
l would like to have my say.
consider myself a church-going
woman, educated and respectable
with normal, healthy family yet
l have attended the dog races in
Miami a number of times. 1 saw
no evil nor considered my few
dollars spent there wasted. Rather
they went for a very enjoyable
evening spent among clean, beauti-
fully Handicapped surroundings, a
stirring band, interesting pagentry
and the company of friendly and
courteous people.
All of which is more than one
can find at the present time in Key
West for an evenings entertain
ment.
How can anyone know if they like
a thing without first trying it? If
the people of Key West find the dog
track to be obnoxious in the future
it can be closed down. This way no
one loses but the owners of the
track. The city stands to gain
whether we get the track and keep
it or get the track and lose it.
If the ministers of Key West want
to crusade against evil why don't
they take a walk on lower Duval
street any evening of the week and
see the filthy "girly" shows which
cater to the lowest instincts of men,
much much lower than any gamb-
ling could be.
See the drunken B-girls and sail
orS staggering up the street, see the
"winoS" lying in the gutter stup-
flied or else begging the passerbys
for a quarter for another drink, or
best of all why don't they get to-
gether and try to close places like
the famous or infamous Tea Room
on Stock Island an evil openly
Haunted and joked about.
Why don't they take a worth
while platform to stand on and
campaign for better streets, better
police force. better bandshell in the
park and more recreation for the
youngsters. They could give that
$76.28 they have to some poor fam
lily where it would do more good
than to spend it fighting a dog
track.
People who want to gamble and
waste the family pay check have
already found a means to do so.

Letters from readers are not
only welcome, but helpful; and
they are specially helpful some
times when they express disagree
ment. For example, one reader
asks me to say what l mean by
socialism, and also to please tell
him where on earth the kind of
socialism l am talking about can
be found. This is a helpful letter,
because l had thought / had al
ready made these points quite
clear. But, apparently, 1 hadn't
succeeded, and so l welcome the
opportunity to try again.
These articles of mine do not
discuss sOcialistic theories; they
deal only with the facts of social
ism in actual practice.
My correspondent is apparently
we'll informed on the theory of So
cialism-that is to say, socialism
as it is described in books written
by people who want us to go along
with them. Admittedly, these
books paint a very pretty picture.
But the picture is completely un-
real because it describes a society
such as does not exist anywhere.

very little to say about what goes
on. Whoever runs the Communist
Party runs all of Russia, too.
Even Mussolini's Italy, where
control of the means of production
was put in the hands of various
corporations" ostensibly made up
of the most able people, real con-
troll was exercised by the Fascist
party alone.
There is very little difference in
fact between the so-called Fascist
State and the so-called Socialist
state. Facism and Communism are
only the two sides of the same
counterfeit coin. They are alike
because control of every source
of wealth winds up in the hands
of a. small self-perpetuating group.
Such a group holds not only SUI
preme political power but also su-
preme economic power as well.
And in every instance a police

Careful Culling
Increases Profits From
Poultry Flock

Careful culling is an important
part of good poultry management
if increased profits are to result,
according to William H. Hender-
son. County Agriculture Agent.
Culling the hens that are not lay
ing reduces the production costs
per dozen eggs. Non-layers will
eat approximately lbs. of feed
per month and if they are not lay
ing enough eggs to pay for this
it soon eats up the profits from
the better layers.
Removing the nOn-layers gives
more space for the better produc-
ers, thus aids in more efficient use
of the houses.
Flock mortality can be material
ly reduced by removing the birds
of low vitality from the house as
soon as they are observed.
Culling should be a continuous
process for best results. Careful
selection during the growing sea-
son, when the pullets are placed in
the laying house and throughout
the laying year will result in the
highest profits from the flock.
The easiest way to tell the lay
ers from the non-layeTs is to use
a fashlight and look over the birds
at night while they are on the
rOOsts.
The culls can also be caught
from the floor by means of a catch
ing hcoS. Wire covered hinged
frames about 5 feet square can be
used to drive birds into a corner
of the pen for easy catching. To
do a good jIb of culling, each bird
should be examined individually.

ing or other poultry problems call

Note that socialism is a theory
or system"
Now, l am not writing about
theoretical socialism, the pretty
picture of a kind of society which
some people think might come into
existence some where. some day.
l am concerned with socialism as
actually practiced in those areas
of the world where avowed social
lists took things over.
In theory, socialism puts owner

clear basis of recent history, that
the men and women who make up
a nation must turn over their sup
posed ownership and control" to
the management of some smaller
administrative group or agency.
And then what happens?
Adolf Hitler was the leader of
the National Socialist Party. How
did the Nazis meet the problem of
selecting the agency which was to
exercise the public's control? They
formed a so-called elite which
