DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen We newspaper guys will agree with Oscar. Webber, manager of one of De- troit’s largest stores, who told a merchants’ convention: “When the going is tough our experience shows that nothing sells goods like newspaper advertising.” Life insurance statistics show that fat people. are more likely tobe killed in acci- dents than skinny ones. But, come to think of it, this is no great mystery in view of their handicap when forced to move rapid- ly to avoid being run down by Fords, Auss tins did automobiles. - An odd case of versatility is that of Robert Cloud, a New York negro, who is _a lyric composer of talent, with more than a score of songs to his credit, for which he has written both words and music. His regular job, however, is that of “red cap” at the-Grand Central Station.

If bread consumption had kept pace with the increase in population there would be no wheat surplus today, Perhaps modern dieting fads are responsible for the low price of wheat. Statisties are often valuable, but some- times*come high. When a Senator asked the Tariff Commission how many tons of fish were brought into the United States by alfens, inquiry had to be made to some 56.000 owners of fishing vessels before the weighty question could be answered. The answef cost the country’s taxpayers about $19,000, From a Japanese schoolboy's essay on Washington: “George Washington was sore because American persons was not | free. . He say to king, ‘I express declarya- tions’ of independence.’ King he say noth- ing doing and Mr. Washington tell Ad- mira} Dewie to shoot big guns at him. By and by king say he wil! not run over Amer- ican persons again. ‘Let George do it,’ he say, and so today American persons she is free’ | THE FEAST OF EMANCIPATION The celebration of Passover, the Jewish Feast cf Emancipation, will begin at sundown on Friday, March 30, 1934, It is ushered in with an elaborate dinner, un- surpassed in beauty of symbolism, known in Hebrew as the “Seder.” It is celebrated for seven days by Reform Jews and: for eight days by Orthodox Jews, during which period only unleavened bread is to be eaten. This festival ranks as one of the most significant holidays in Jewish life. The idea of freedom upon which it is founded constitutes one of the fundamental principles in Judaism, and the basic cause for which mankind fought these many centuries. The Feast of Passover has a two-fold background. It dates back to the time when the ancestors of the Jewish people dwelt in Palestine and occupied them- selves primarily with agriculture, To them the advent of spring marked the most joy- ous period of the year. Then was the barley harvest reaped, and its first’ fruits were brought to Jerusalem and offered at the Temple with great joy and_ singing. Hence, Passover was instituted as a nature festival to celebrate the arrival of spring. But with the flight of time this agri- ! cultural background of Passover was al- most entirely lost. Then there came the | emphasis that Passover marks the anni- versary of the deliverance of the Jewish people from Egyptian bondage—an episode in Jewish history which wielded a_ tre- mendous influence upon the progress of mankind at large. Over three thousand years ago a great | number of Jews dwelt in Egypt, and were made slaves to the mighty Pharaohs. The life of the Jew grew bitter from day to day | with heavy toil and suffering. By their | sweat they built the mighty cities of Pithom i and Rameses. Palaces and pyramids they wrought by the toil of their hands. This physical slavery signified likewise the ex- | tent of their spiritual slavery. At that time of mortal bitterness} Moses was born. From his youth he cham- pioned the cause of righteousness and fought for the rule of justice in a land based upon slavery and idolatry. He be- held the affliction of his people and his sense of righteousness was stung to the core, With prophetic fire he thundered forth the message of freedom to all Egypt. Charged with this holy ideal, he finally succeeded in leading the Jewish people out of the gates of Egypt, so that the children of Israel might serve God and become a holy people unto God in the eyes of the whole world. Reminiscent of this historic epic, the Jewish people recite these happenings | every year to their families, For out of this Feast of Passover, Jewry the world over raises its cry against the oppression and spiritual slavery current in many lands ts- day, FOOD FALLACIES H «Popular ideas about food are a strange Aeruixture of truth and fiction according to Dr! ‘Lieb, an authority on diet. Par- ticularly ig this the case with respect to notions of what is good for people, or not & Beda fortthem, under. varying cireum- Stgficess a is For example, bananas and nuts were | long thought to be hard to digest, but if the bananas are ripe and the nuts chewed | sufficiently they are among the most easily | ci ed wae OF digestible of foods. | The prejudice against raw foods also unwarranted, it is said. Raw corn, wheat and other starches in moderate | amounts are completely digested, while raw potatoes are 78 per cent digestible. | The craving of some children for raw| potatoes may be indulged to a reasonable extent without harm, and the same is true of raw cabbage and lettuce. Drinking water during meals was long thought to be harmful to the diges- tion, but for normal persons it is now de- | clared to be beneficial if sipped in between | swallows of solid food, Forcing children to eat spinach or other foods which they do not like is not good for them, as the feeling of repulsion | which they experience hinders digestion. While the doctor does not say it in as; many words, it appears that a rather safe | rule of diet is to eat what one likes, pro- | vided it does not produce any disagreeable ' after effects. And regardless of advice, is | that is what most of us insist on doing any- | in * special project which way. jthe Wrecking Tug jtoo b , | tions, i |dren | purchased 475 acres on Key Lar- |g, means that | Will quiekly follow and that real. | mate. jtion of Key West hospitality for Jase fatare but at present is not! ‘THE EET WEST CITIZEN SCeecccccoccccccce COCCHOCOSCOLOOSOELEOOOOOEOECE Daily Cross-word Puzzle : ACROSS 1.
