Speeding automobiles are threats to life and limb. Careless auto drivers should be punished, even if they live in Key West. The second child it. a family is brighter than the first, according to a psychologi:t. But the first generally bright enough to have things pretty much its own way. is The Miami Herald bemoans the bad luck of “poor Key West,” adds that “lightning does strike more than once,” and concludes with the lugubrious intima- tion that ‘fate may continue to frown.” If it does, we will not take horizontally whatever there is in store for us, but have a “heart for any fate.” The human heart times a year, beats 38,000,000 It is a wonder not to wear out sooner than>it does, and every reason for so many heart failures. At 60 the heart has pumped 2,280,000,000 _ times and is somewhat tired, so those who have reached that age in the span of life should ease up a bit or they may hasten their de- parture from this mundane sphere. The editor of The Sunday Star speaks of winter in Key Wet. He must be re- ferring to the “winter of discontent” for we have no winter in the island city unless a drop to hovering above 50 degrees considered so. The Citizen has a standing obligation to donate $5 to the Public Library every time the thermometer dreps below 50, and so far our exchequer has not been diminished in a single instance for that purpose. there is never a winter here. is increasing; ? owder, obtain a range of 12 miles with + durirg the World War. j not, defend tre excesses | ning of the new order in Russia. | and safeguards which H cates titude toward the ‘family. | in marriage and emphasizes } begin to appear again, ) his bombastic foreign policies. are not surpri:ed to read in the press that |5°- } Kosarief | the Soviet Union and the fear within some | and all institutions in any way associated with normal existence in capitalist coun- outside observers that the Bolsheviks were wild and running amuck. | While The Citizen did not, and- does ! connected with | the initiation of the Soviet program, such attacks were to be expected at the begin- ; Particularly incensed were the fathers } and mothers of the world who read that | the Soviet Union had disavowed marriage | and assumed contro! of all children as/ pawns of the new State.

Strange to say, | the document stresses*the concept of love | the serious- | ness with which Soviet couples now enter | upon that télationship. Fr. Nurina, woman prosecutor and author of the report, declares that “love is the basis upon which Soviet marriage built” end insists that ‘the new phase in family life will set in only when there will come a generation of men who have never bought woman's love on material basis, | and a new generation of women who have never sold their love or material grounds.’ is SCUNDS LIKE A WAR STORY Everybody who was alive during the World War will recall the atrocity stories and the remarkable legend of the amazing devices which the Germans had for ihe destruction of their enemies. It is about time for similar stories io with an eye to the situation in Europe and the development ofa attitude toward Hitler and s. Hence we *proper” “the greatest threat of Germany today” is the possession of a super-powder wa> used by the 75-mile “P. now affords longer range to s guns” and all Col. Henry W. Miller, who was engineer of heavy artillery with the Amer- ; ican Expeditionary Force ys it would surprise no one if the Germans, with this their 75’s, compared with a 5-mile range The possession of “high-pressure powder,” he, is a " ich magnitude” that all scien- louble “quick in the laboratory {the uystery” before aie. f a know anything about the all¢ged*super-powder but we | think the golonclis unduly alarmed, and that the nev® war.

There is no reason for the people of the United States to work them- selves into a lather over any tale of what | the Germans, or any other nation may be ns able to do in another war. pr t NO EXPLANATION! The cause of world peace would, no | doubt, be advanced if we could discover} £ the factors that irsure peace. Therefore, it may be important to weigh what A. V.j Soviet Secretary to the Young Communists, has to say. His idea is that peace has resulted from the strength cf capitalist countries of their own workers. li Checking up, so far as the United] States, still a capitalistic nation, is con- cerned, we regret to report that Comrade! Kosarieff scores sub-zero. There is no fear in this country about what American workers would do in the event of war and no idea whatever that the strength of the Soviet Union maintains the peace of his hemisphere. Consequently, still anxious for peace, Except in the calendar { we search the horizons for new signs and portents. | tomorrow ithe late Sheldon Atwell was today! | Local person | feet that a beautiful hotel is to be jture of two storic. jed, will be D.
