If we have to have a Republican president, The Citizen's preference is the astute Michigan senator. Not Says Dorothy Dey in the Miami Tri- | bune: “Our hats off to Mrs. Clayton Sedg- wick Cooper for the loyalty she shows her pouse. ‘They can what they want | about me,’ says Liz, ‘As long as they don’t knock Clayton; h such a wonderful man!’ You don’t find many fraus_ like that these days.” Mr. and Mrs. Cooper are well knowr in Key West, having visited | here many times. Mr. Cooper is president ! of the One Hundred Club of Miami. A’ subscriber to The Citizen of Wash- ington, D. C., suggests that if the work on! the tran»-Florida canal is stopped, Key Wext should do all in its power to have the; government transfer all the workers here! and have them deepen the harbor al!} around Key West and use the dredged ma- H terial to reclaim several thousand acres along the Boulevard ard landscape it into a tropical park. “There is no adequate reason for American tourists spending mil- lions around Bermuda, when Key West could be turned into an Ideal Tropical Park,” he adds. Unless the railroad is re- stored to Key West, to make it an attrac- tive tourist resort is apparently the only recourse we have left to maintain our | existence. | Ss | workers and employers. | pensions will begin, | ments and thus jeopardize the future | the latter 260. | Second John, In 1942 old age total of around $47,000,000,000. While some critics have questioned the management of such a fund, another ; objection has been raised by M. Alfred Linton, life insurance executive, its hands off the reserve fund. This ac- tuary says that Congressmen, not under- standing the essential principles under- lying a present reserve to make future pay- ments, will be tempted to liberalize pay- of those who have contributed to the enor- mous reserve. While The Citizen ardently advocates the principles of social security legislation, the fear voiced by Mr. Linton is based on something besides fault-finding. It un- doubtedly will be a menace to the success- | | ful operation of old age pensions, unless the people of the United States are thor- oughly educated in regard to the function of an adequate reserve. Moreover, they must stand guard over the fund created. Just how this is to be effectively done is a problem, SOME BIBLE FACTS Of the 66 books of the Bible 39 are in the Old Testament and 27 in the New, the former containing 929 chapters and Combined they have a to- tal of 773,746 words. The word “Lord” occurs 1,855 times, “reverend,” “girl,” and “everlasting punishment” but once each, and “ever- lasting fire” but twice. The longest verse is Ester 8:9, of 90 words, and the shortest is John 11:35, con- sisting of two words, “Jesus wept.” The 19th chapter of Second Kings and the 37th chapter of Isaiah are alike. The 8th, 15th, 107th [salm are alike, and each of the 26 j verses of the 136th Psalm ends alike, with ; the words “for his mercy endureth for- ever. Ezra 7:21 contains all the letters of the alphabet except the letter “J.” The books of Obadiah, Philemon, Third John and Jude con- tains only one chapter each. ANOTHER *ABIE’S IRISH. ROSE.” Probably the greatest money making play in the history of the theater was “Abie’s Irish Rose,’’ which performed on three continents and is said to-have netted the author and producer, Anne Nichols, $5,000,000. Miss Nichols, after a lapse of eight years, is coming back to the Great White Way with another play. able to duplicate her former fortune is not to be expected but it will be interesting to watch the fate of her new product. A FRIENDLY GESTURE (Miami Friday Night) Key West is in a fair way to secure comple- tion of the overseas highway if the work of Gov- ernor Sholtz and Chairman Treadway of the state h'ghway department bears fruit, the project, and it may not be very long before an- nouncement is made that the come to the aid of the state in-financing a project have been working diligently, if quietly on government — will that is worthy and that loyal citizens are entitled And then you will find Key West géing to the front, for she has. without doubt, the finest cli- mate on the American continent, and one of the greatest natura] harbors, rich back- ground of history. And as a resort, with all hom- age to others in this vicinity, Key West’ can’t be beat. The opportunities for great resort hotels, to. besides a as well as for the sport of fishing, will attract na- tional attention, bringing in more tourists for the whole state. but the first income | ‘ to the Government is expected to greatly | i exceed the money paid out, and by 1980 ; the reserve fund will reach the gigantic who} i thinks that the reai danger will come from | | the failure on the part of Congress to keep 21st and 31st verses of the: That she will be} Both these men! (Copyright Six ! 1 In spite of her name, Aunt Flossie was a “fiel han” down in South Caro- lina. She knew toil and trouble and cotton. During the years of more or less irregular married and unmarried life, Aunt Flossie had accumulat- ed her quota of children. These had grown up and ‘‘gone away” and left her with her lit- tle cabin and “patch.” With what she raised and the odd jobs she did now and then for “de folks,”” Aunt Flossie managed to get on, “tolerable.” About the time the AAA boomed into South Carolina, times were a lit- tle harder with her than usual. Aunt Flossie heard that farmers were be- ing paid to, “deduce de pigs, liminate de cawn, and cut down de cotton.” She worked out a plan.

She worked it faithfully until it was about fourteen inches high and then she put her ma- tured plans into immediate action. She went out into her “patch,” pulled up every stalk of cotton there, tied it all into neat little bundles, “rigged de mule to de wagin” and, with her cotton, “lit” out for Charleston. Arriving in that ancient seat of cul- ture in these United States, Aunt Flossie drove immediately to the wel- fare headquarters. She knew of this place. Arrived there, she triumphant- ly offered her cotton to “de gov’ment whut pays us niggers fer not to raze cotton, but ony ter plant it.” Disappointed, she turned away. Evi- dently, she had missed the real mean- ing of our new economy of plenty. ‘And yet, she was trying to do her part in ushering in the “economy of scarc- it nee Aunty Flossie! The sways of this modern economic world are far beyond her comprehension. But in her simple mind she ha: nterpreted some of our “new economic world” pretty definitely, and the sorry little bunches of wilted cotton plants were she bestirred herself to plant patch all ober wid cotton.” The “stand” was good.
