A Key West Rotarian hasn’t missed a meeting in 18 years. Probably, in Key West, there was nowhere else to go.— Tampa Tribune. You don’t know Key West. For one thing, he could have gone from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico, and not leave the city. No place to go, eh! At many times in the long history of the Jew, whenever the Jew has appeared on the point of assimilating with his neigh- bors, an Antiochus or a Ferdinand and Isabella or a Dreyfus case has arisen to east him back on himself and produce the! inevitable reaction. In our days Hitler is} added to the list. are being It appears Everywhere ordinances drawn up against the trailer. that the rolling home is considered aj nuisance. Having no experience with them in Key West, we do not know what the objections are. We cannot see their un- desirability except on unsanitary grounds, and these can be provided against without great difficulty. Someone has said that “home is the place where you are treated the best, and grumble the most.” It is also true that our loved ones often get the cross words, while those outside, with whom we are in casual contact, are treated with ceremonious politeness. A, little more courtesy in the home would smooth out the pattern of | daily living-—St. Augustine Record, | of unemployment. | strong action to stop what seems to be a} L. Steer, correspondent of the New York and a quarter hours, during which an es- timated 3,000 projectiles were dropped. Mr. Steer says “fighting planes plunged low . . . to machine gun those civilians who had taken refuge in the fields.” He says that a factory producing war material, out- side the town, was untouched. Mr. Steer is a reputable journalist and his description of the ruin at Guernica is worth reading, merely to understand what might happen to any city in time of war. Taking cognizance of denials that air- Planes wrought the damage the well- known journalist says that “I have seen and measured the enormous bomb holes at Guernica, which, since I passed through the town the day before, I can testify were not there then.” He reports that un- exploded German: aluminum incendiary bombs were found. What happened at Guernica? is what Mr. Steer records: “In the form of its execution and the seale of the destruction it wrought, no less than in the selection of its objective, the raid on Guernica is unparalleled in mili- tary history. “Yesterday was the customary mar- ket day . . . At 4:30 p. m. when the mar- ket was full and peasants were stil] coming in, the church bells rang an alarm .. . Five minutes later a single German bomber ap- peared, circled over the town at low alti- tude, then: dropped six heavy bombs... A second bomber .. . threw the same num- ber of bombs ... About a quarter of an hour later three Junkers 52s arrived to continue the work of demolition and from then on the bombing grew in intensity and Here was continuous, ceasing only at the ap- proach of dusk at 7:45 p. m. “The whole town of 17,000 popula- tion plus 3,000 refugees was slowly and systematically pounded to pieces. For a radius of five miles around, the raiders bombed separate easerios, or farmhouses. In the night these burned like little candles on the hills.” In a subsequent dispatch Mr. Steer re- ports other bombings of non-military «:ob- jectives, the finding of unexploded in- cendiary bombs of German manufacture andthe persistent denials of the insur- gents that their planes have been respon- j sible for the destruction, which is laid to “Marxist” mobs. LAUGH LIGHTLY AT HEJAZ Western ways must stay out of Hejaz, on no less than authority than King Ibn Saud himself. Recently when a speaker called at- tention to the increase of coeducation and } western dancing the monarch exclaimed, “By Allah, if it come to my knowiedge that any of my subjects had adopted any | of these customs, I would wipe them out | of existence by this very sword.” * j Let’s not laugh too loudly at the King, | who cited the Koran to justify his stand. It j hasn’t been so long since devout Amer- | icans themselves doubted the wisdom of} coeducational schools and not so many years since some of our best people cepted the silliest gossip about any man} and woman who happened to be alone any- | where for a few minutes.
