When the Sciool boy plays hookey, it is his first indication of class hatred. Proper newspaper advertising pays dividends to the advertisers and the - reader. 3 A bright Sunday School boy de- scribed “sins of omission” as “sins we in- tended to commit but didn’t.” “For Sunshine, Climate,-Health and Rest, The Travel-wise will choose Key West.” —Ernest L. Elmhurst. Most persons will admit that they have been foolish at times, but would re- ject the suggestion that they are still that way. Citizen Ernest Hemingway is quoted as having said that in order to be an ex- pert deep-sea angler, one must know how to suffer—just like a great singer. There are more people in Key West now than there were during the Overseas Highway Celebration last year. Quite naturally, President Roosevelt ‘is the draw- ing card. Practically everybody wants to up- hold the Constitution when it takes care of them or their interests, but what the Constitution requires is support all the time and by all. Let us hope that the weatherman will be polite and considerate and continue during President Roosevelt’s visit this de- lightful weather with which Key West is being blessed at the present time. While neither Mussolini nor Hitler have the power to dictate who is to be the next pope, a Mussolini controlled paper demands that the next pope be an Italian, ~ in-fact mentions a few who would be per- “sona grata if chosen. > Public hearings will start March 15 onethe Florida ship canal.

We must re- ries of hatred. The Amer- | ican population includes the descendants | of forty old world nations, people of .all racial strains, followers of every great liv- | ing religion. If we allow hate and rumor mongers to set group against group, we are lost. Strife between Christians and Jews, Catholics and Protestants, was introduced | by more than one subversive organizer in Europe, who wanted to get factions fight- ing among themselves, that they might step in to dictate over all. American demo- | cracy needs mutual trust and cooperation ambi Protestants, Catholics and Jews. That'is the message of Brotherhood Week. A gréat deal of propaganda is being spread in both South and North America to weaken the faith of Americans in demo- cracy and freedom. This propaganda takes its most vicious form in a_ libelous campaign against particular racial and Sometimes this propa- ganda is disseminated under high-sound- ig and patriotic phases. It is, however, completely un-American, and its objective, | far from being patriotic, is to foist totali- tarian principles upon the people of this cecuntry. This propaganda of prejudice and hatred is not the spontaneous reaction of decent Americans; it is a carefully or- ganized, well-financed, unscrupulous cam- paign to break down traditional American concepts of tolerance, religious freedom, justice and fair play. Any attempt to blame a single group for economic ills, political situations or ideological systems .is vicious, unscrupulous and without any basis in fact. Such attempts will be re- jected by every decent American no mat- ter what his faith or political leanings or economic status, America must, and will, set an ex- ample to the world by rejecting all doc- trines of hatred, and by making goodwill and cooperation among all faiths, classes and groups a reality. THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER A recent bulletin of the American Newspaper Fublishers Association carries | word of the newspaper advertising views of Safeway Stores, Inc., a large Western food chain. in general. * In brief, the Safeway company be- lieves that newspapers of regular publica- tion, large and small, perform an _ im- portant public service, and that ‘advertis- ing*“révenue is essential to, keeping the price) @harged the subscriber, low enough | to bring the paper within financial reach of every possible family. The company believes that when the so-called free circulation newspaper at- tempts to lure advertisers, using a lower rate as bait, “it is the beginning of a vicious depleting the established next, through bankruptcy, depriving the community of such news service ; encouraging the free distribution | paper into becoming a paid circulation and news distributing publication, followed by additional free circulation papers and thus completing the cycle.” Finally, ‘the Safeway company in- | structs its division managers to avoid using These views could be profit- | ably emulated by industry and commerce | THR KEY WEST CITIZEN KEY WEST IN (PROF.

Following the request a. caucus was held by the ‘board and’ the matter was explained to the members present. It was then agreed to call a special meeting of the board and it was so au- thorized.

But it is a well-established fact that there will not be as much leniency shown as has been the case in the past. They have been.taking the ears found without the 1939 li- cense, arresting the owners. stor- ing the vehicles, and when the cases have been disposed of in court, the owners pay all the charges, including the fees for storage, if they are found guilty. There have been sold to the present time 1,361 tags, which is a larger number than were sold at this time last year, but is still far short of the 1,700 sales antici- pated by the tax collector at the beginning of the sales period.
