Consotidaticn of County and City Governments. Many who have a worthy aim in life persist in shooting blank cartridges. Who remembers when the bathroom didn’t look like a branch drugstore? Only about one person in a million is ever struck by lightning—or by a new idea. Advertising is fine for the business man who meets competition and knows it; he wants others to know it. When you have tried a doctor for a long time and continue to remain ill, what do you do? Change doctors, of course. The remaining relatiyes of a deceased are not the only mourners he leaves be- hind; the creditors, too, are affected by the departure. Wall Street certainly name for the tremendous wealth and power it represents. That’s the name given it when the city belonged to the Dutch, and it’s in Dutch right now. is a prosaic There is a general feeling that the Serb-Croat accord, just formed, means that Yugoslavia will defend to the end the independence for which she so dearly paid in the World War, and the 16,000,000 in- habitants are rejoicing. There is no doubt that the foreign political situation has played a leading part in uniting the Serbs and Croats, so unwittingly Hitler has done | them a good deed and deait himself a poor hand for this coalition forms a Baltic bloc | that will thwart the Fuehrer’s Drang nach Osten, a consummation he has so fervently wished. Comforting to the democracies must be the fact that their bank deposits are seven times greater than ‘those of the totalitarian countries, and’in war times money is three-fourths of ‘victory. Fur- | thermore their trade is four times that of the dictatorships, and in total economic resources the democracies are vastly su- perior. In view of the above there ap- pearsto be no reason for a defeatist at- | titude to be assired by the democracies unless they are ready to admit that their ideals and principles of government are old-fashioned and not in line with the} modern trend, which, it must be admitted, | is leaning towards the left, |, Monroe | worked hard, raised families, | they have been permitted to enjoy life and | for the duration of the war will NATURALIZATION COURT HERE Under an order received within the | last few days by C. Rodney Gwynn, | deputy United States court clerk here, | petitions for naturalization and pertinent | matters will be heard by the Federal court in Key West on November 6. j This is good news to quite a number | of Key West and Monroe County resi- dents. Either through neglect or lack of | information, a number of our. residents | 9 | have failed to take out their citizenship | papers. Some of these men and women | have lived here for 30, 40 or 50 years, | and in general have been good friends, good neighbors and good parents. Some ! of these men and women were brought ! here when they were children. They were | born in Cuba or elsewhere, and therefore | are still Cuban citizens or of the other countries of their birth, unless they have gone through the formalities of becoming | naturalized citizens. To enjoy the full benefits of old age | pensions, of social security laws or welfare relief or work, these people must become | citizens. Heretofore they have had the opportunity to become citizens only about | once in each year, usually during the May | term of United States court here. The! majority of these people lack the money or legal assistance required to go through the naturalization process at Miami or else-} where. That is why Clerk Gwynn’s announce- | ment is good news to many Key West and ; County residents. They have lived here virtually all their lives, have educated | them and’struggled for them. Many of | them are bent and old, too crippled and | aged much longer to perform useful work. The court hearing November 6. will | enable these good people to at least take the first step toward legal citizenship. They should not neglect their opportunity —nor to offer a prayer of thanks that this country has been good to them. Probably in no other country in the world would its advantages as they have here without becoming full citizens and assuming their full responsibilities as citizens. CARNAGE ON THE HIGH SEAS On the oceans of the world ships of the nations engaged in war. are bearing the brunt of mopping up operations. The news from the high seas has _ probably been more dependable than from other scenes of war activities. The British have lost a number of mer- chant ships to German submarines. This has misled some people who jump to the conclusion that the U-boat campaign is beginning to repeat the striking successes of the World War. British and French losses, just now, are explained by the fact that German sub- | marines, sent out before hostilities began, | were on trade routes, ready to waylay the freighters and liners. When the war started hundreds of British and French ships were far from any warships. They had to make the best of the situation in which they found themselyes. - It will not be long before the convoy system will be inaugurated again and submarines will not be able to torpedo un- protected ships. When the submarine campaign reached its height in the last struggle and seemed on the verge of starv- ing the British nation, the convoy system, plus the depth bomb attack technique, re- stored the balance and saved the British. Against the loss of allied ships must be set the significant fact that German vessels have been driven from the seas. | German merchant ships have docked and stay docked, except in the narrow confines of | the Baltic Sea. Germany, one should understand, is a trading nation, that secures its wealth from the sale of products to other coun- tries. Without commerce Germany can- not exist as a first-class power. So long as the British fleet blockades the North Sea the German merchant ships cannot carry. on that commerce. If you substitute Hitlerism for Kaiser- ism the situation is the same today as it was in 1914, and the hope of the demo- cracies is that it will end as it did in 1918 in the overthrow of dictatorship and the establishment of a German republic. With these experiences of the past, Germany is hot likely to make the same mistake and r allow another Hitler to rise and lead the German people to destruction. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN QUICK FALL FEAST How would you like to try your hand this fine fall day at a meal that will take but a triee to prepare and guarantee you good eating in the bargain? Thén plan to serve copious soup plates of vegetable beef soup to start the meal with zip and zing. Just open the cans of soup and heat and serve. For the main course, bring on a fat casseroleful of delicate cooked mac- aroni topped with a pinwheel of tender asparagus tips. An unusual combination, to be sure, but a most delicious dish when you’use the ready-to-serve cooked macaroni that comes done up in tins. This savory | macaroni is simmered in a rich cream sauce flavored with a nippy blend of cheeses. It surely makes a tasty main course service when you prepare the dish this way: ,MACARONI AND ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE Arrange a thin layer from— 2 =medium (17 02.) can cooked macaroni in cream sauce with cheese in a shallow buttered casserole. Top with a layer from— 1 small can asparagus tips, hav- ing tips radiate from center. Repeat each layer, having asparagus on top. Sprinkle with— % cup fresh bread crumbs, but- tered. Bake in a moderate oven (375° F.) 20 minutes or until macaroni is heated through. (Serves 4.) SUCCESSFUL CHIFFONADE SALAD With the macaroni casserole, you'll want a big bowlful of crisp salad greens drenched in a spicy dressing. Line your bowl with succulent leaves of romaine or other HOLLY salad greens, then shred or cube a solid head of iceberg lettuce into the bowl and pour this cool and colorful chiffonade dressing over the greens: ri BOWL OF SALAD GREENS WITH CHIFFONADE DRESSING Line salad bowl with— Romaine or other salad greens.

Just before the dinner hour, sénd your nimblest youngster to the store for family sized scoops of ice cream. Then, break the crunch up into crumbles and arrange, sundae style, in deep dessert dishes.

The prospects are that they’ll finish the currently launched “co- lossals”, simply because it would cost the studios more to drop them than to go ahead. They’ve spent too much in story prepara- tion, actcrs’ contracts. which cost money to break, and other details, to stop now. After that, it looks now as if the production schedules will settle down to a strictly “uncolossal” basis, to pic- tures which will return a profit minus the normally expected re-! ceipts from countries engaged now in other activities than en- tertdinment-buying. And the big ones, which will play this coun- try and South America, surely, will go beck to the film vaults after their peaceful tours of ex- \hibition to be held for a happier day in the other regions. eee The “uncolossal” business would probably last_“for the du- ration” and—although looking for a bright spot for Hollywood at the moment is like diagnosing a mosquito bite on a man with eancer—it might in the end be a Te Ft Nil Ban of Hy Wet good thing. If for no other rea- son, it would re-emphasize to the | ‘town that good pictures can be made without cramming them | ‘with everything that is costly. | | On the RKO lot, they’ve proved iit notably in the past couple of! years, with pictures like “A Man To Remember” and “Five Came Back”, and the more recent “Full Confession”—a dramatic study of a murderer (Victor McLaglen) and a priest (Joseph Calleia) to whom his crime is confessed. The | ‘picture was made quietly and ef- ficiently, with. no fanfare, and it should ride on its own to a de-| | Served | success. e ¥ In it’ McLaglen (I quote a con- | freres Jacl Grant, who expresses jit perfectly) “earns the Academy | ‘Award he was given for ‘The In- | ‘former’.” And the Calleia job is! /no less commendable. i eee | The best other example of the | comparatively inexpensive but! ‘really entertaining movie comes | ‘from Metro, where the latest of | the Hardy films, relative to Andy | and spring fever, has cleaned up} —and justly. Even the least amus- | ing of the series—in my opinion _“The Hardys Ride High”—con- | jtained more entertainment than | many a mote ambitious and cost- ly production.
