The fame of the camp’ for its | splendid fishing, beauty, comfort, jexcellent cuisine and_ restful | charm, has spread throughout the | country and abroad and yearly the guest list contains the names (of many national and interna- | tional sportsmen and fishing en- | thusiasts. All cabins and buildings at the | Cove have been completely re- |painted and redecorated during | the summer ahd are very attrac- | tive against the green background | | of beautiful palms and luxuriant | foliage on the grounds, and the ever changing colors of the sur- | rounding waters. | Mr. Boggs is the very popular manager who became associated | with the camp last year.

King and Prince Club, St. Simon’s Island, Georgia. | “The large number of early in-| quiries and reservations we have received at Pirates Cove from | widely separated parts of the | country show a greatly increased amount of interest about the | Keys and Key West and their ac- cessibility by the now famous | Oversea Highway,” Mr. Boggs stated. “From all indications this) whole section is beginning now to) enjoy one of its busiest and most successful seasons. With suffi- | cient advertising and preparation there is mo reason why this in- reased business cannot be pro-| | longed far into the summer. We! | are already planning to keep the!

Perfect example of this is provided by the Sino- Japanese conflict. Neither coun- try has broken off diplomatic re- lations with the other. China is represented in Tokio and Japan in Nanking. In theory there is no war. In actual fact, however, one of the most sanguinary con-_ flicts in history is being waged. Another up-to-the-minute tech- nique is for a country to pay lip service to peace—and at the same time take steps that must. inevitably lead to war. The two principal Fascist dicta- torships, Germany and Italy, anc their ally, Japan, are past mas- ters of this. Japan invades China —and claims she is doing it in the interest of peace. Italy conquers the Ethiopian Empire by arm force—in the interest of peace. Germany reoccupies the Ruhr, and threatens her neighbors— again, with peace as the battle ery. Me On the 11th of December, an event took place which may prove to be of epochal significance to the modern world. Italy with- drew from the League of Nations, and Japan. For a couple of years, as every foreign observer knows, Italy has been a League member in name only—she has been ac- tively or passively opposed to al- most every League objective, and has done everything possible to frustrate League policies. By her withdrawal, she made this atti- tude official. And, following the post-war precedent, Il Duce made a fiery speech in which he said that Italy’s action was essential to the maintenance of world peace. This theory will be given cred- ence in the Fascist powers—but nowhere else in the world. For, in the view of practically all of the experts, the Fascist nations have been moving steadily to- ward war for several years, have been delaying conflict only for the reason that their military ma- chines were inadequate, and fin- ally, are reaching the point where, in the view of their general staffs, definitely out of the League brings the deadline closer. It is a mistake to look at the various undeclared wars that Unwrapping Christmas Annual Family Program RAE LA EI RAR RASA RAY ULETIDE has come around i again and it is time to take Christmas from its year-long wrappings. At our house we have a wardrobe trunk in one of whose drawers re- nese all year the Christmas tree or- naments, some table decorations, napkins and favors left from the children’s party, bright papers and ribbons salvaged from the last- minute rush to wrap and mail or noarded from Aunt Louise’s gift package, which is always an out- werd marvel. j ‘Through Easter, Fourth of July, | Halloween, Thanksgiving, they have lain forlorn and unwanted, these remnants of Christmas. But now we open the drawer with as lively excitement as if we had never seen its contents. “Mother, did you know we still had this big silver star?” “Why, here's enough icicles to trim the whole tree!” “Where did these bluebird ornaments come from?” The light circuit doesn't work— | and sister, who has just come from ser schoolroom, must dash down- |town before the stores close for THOUGHT GEMS Seecccccecccescccsvees It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.—Bulwer. c#ee How beautiful can time with goodness make an old man look. |—Jerrold. eee Men and women of riper years and larger lessons ought to ripen into health and immortality, in- stead of lapsing into darkness or gloom.—Mary Baker Eddy. sees Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health.

For all these conflicts are part and parcel of a closely- knit, ominous pattern. The Fas- cist countries, in brief, are align- ing solidly against their enemies —the Democratic countries. And in this, each side will likely have some curious allies. For example: England is a Democracy. Yet has been tacitly aiding and abetting the Spanish insurgent movement, led by General Franco, who has openly declared that in the event of victory he will establish a Fascist state, and who has been aided with money, men and mu- nitions by Italy and Germany. England’s reasons for her support of Franco are largely commercial, plus her jitteriness over the se- curity of her empire’s far-flung lifeline which was never in great- er danger than it is today. On the other side, Russia wil! be on the side of the Democracies —for the reason that the Com- munists and Fascists are bitterly opposed, even though their theo- ries of government have much in common so far as the subjugation of individual liberties are con- cerned. Further, Russia really wants peace—her gigantic na- tional development campaign re- quires that everything be given to its progress, and that nothing be expended on anything else. A war, with its demands on Rus- sia’s human and mechanical and monetary resources, would bring this campaign to a close. The United States seems fai away from all these happenings But dictatorship has come at last to this hemisphere. In Brazil President Vargas, faced with growing revolt among the peopl: because of his policies, has vir- tually emaculated the Congress and the courts, assured his own perpetuation in office, suspended the Brazilian constitution and created what is to all intents and purposes a Fascist state. And Vargas, emulating the example of the. bigger dictators, took al) these steps in the name of peact end progress and tranquility. There is a very good chance that similar events will occur in some of the other republics to the South. To repeat, the deadline draws nearer. Whether a major war wil! occur is dependent on certain concrete things. Japan is win- ning in China—but she is ruining herself economically in the pro- cess. Germany lacks the eco- nomic resources essential to a long war. Franco is steadily gain- ing in Spain—but he has a long way to go, and his economic posi- tion is likewise precarious; the insurgent movement, according to all commentators, would collapse in a week if something happened to cause a withdrawal of German- Italian support.

Remember how mother sed to send us out in the sleigh to deliver those scarlet beauties to our friends, every Christmas? Those were the good old days!” “Wasn't it fun, though? I can just see the dear old home simply loaded down with the ‘Christmas stars’ as we used to call them.” At this very moment several blocks.down the street the telephone was ringing profusely in one of the busiest florist shops on the avenue. An order was being placed for the largest and very best poinsettia plant in stock. It was to be deliv- ered to the Misses Lois and Mae Malory, on Rugby street. Just fifteen minutes later the door bell at this residence rang and a messenger delivered the gift beauti- fully wrapped and tied in Christmas color$. “Oh, Lois, come quick!” shouted Mae. “A gift from the home town. What can it be?” “Why, it’s a pot of poinsettias— one mass of crimson stars!
