Next week the world series will run war off the front page. There are a lot of good people in Key West; you ought to know them better. Individuals want money beeause money will get them, they think, what they desire. Sometimes this is not true. A psychologist recommends letter writing for lonely persons. But it’s some- times risky for lonely men of means. “Since the Russo-German pact, Japan is making goo-goo eyes at Uncle Sam, but she can’t be trusted, for she is neither the friend of America nor of any other civil- ized, white nation. It would be fine if the President moved the end of the emergency up on the calendar as he did the Thanksgiving date. But that’s evidently a white’ rabbit he-can’t pull out of the hat. When The Citizen advises the people here to pull together it means everybody, net just those who buy but those who sell, who live and manage the finance of the community. Colonel Lindbergh who knows a great deal about the European situation has de- clared definitely for isolation. In fact “most people in the United States who have traveled abroad and know something of the European political condition are ehemently opposed to have us meddle in European political affairs and are con-| vinced that isolation is the surest and best | ~policy to adopt. In 1914, President Wilson implored the American people to remain,neutral in _thought as well as act, but President Roose- velt does not ask that much, and that much is not needed. However,:the government | of the United States should remain.neutral | in thought as well as act; any other course is not rea] neutrality and leads to war.

This does not require that one be rich, or even well-to-do. All that is needed is | for the individual to reelize that the wel- fare of every citizen can be improved as a sult of multiplied unselfishness. We do not advocate, of course, that a zen entirely forget self-interest or that ody neglect his or her own business Volunteering some of your time, or alittle of your money, for a public | purpose is entirely compatible with every demand of absolute individualism. It seems to us, at times, that, many i communities fail to accomplish little proj- | ects because they have their eyes on mam- moth undertakings, entirely under present circumstances. that adds to the comfort, convenience or enjoyment of our citizens is worthy of our | activity. There are many such undertak- ings that require little financial sypport but can be successfully accomplished by concerted effort. We do not attempt to list these enter- | prises because each inhabitant has dif- | | ferent ideas about what is important. Most worthwhile ideas can gain the sup- group and_ these should receive attention. It might be a activity during the balance of 1939. The Citizen will be glad to print short letters, containing such suggestions. | THE WAGES OF CRIME In a government bulletin issued some time ago, statistics were given covering a large number of robberies, burglaries and ordinary thefts, which showed what vari- ous classes of criminal acts yielded to their perpetrators. It was shown that the average robber | got only $89.36 in the robbery for which | he was convicted. The average burglar; obtained $59.19, while those arrested for plain larceny got only $29.37. Commenting on this small average | gain obtained by these classes of crim- inals, the Milwaukee Journal asks: “Why do men—young men especially—risk long | terms in prison for such trifling amounts?” | Answering its own question, it says: ‘The reasons are many, but the first reason of | all is that they feel they are too smart to | be caught.” This is perhaps true of many who em- ; bark on a career of crime, yet if they } would but consider the thousands that are | impractical | Anything | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Paine keep hea It is an established fact that the important vitamin C, which scurvy.

The outcome of these trials are mostly baséd on truth ‘and justice. This problem is’ eloquently, discussed jin the Bock of Job: ” | “Is God really just?” The an- swer is “yes”; although we do not always understand "His ways in dealing out justice. ’ On “New! | Year's Day it is decreed “who should live” and who should die, | Who should become rich and who | Should become’ Boor.’ And what ibetter oécasion have we for re- jflecting On divine judgment and | the day of judgment * than this) {first of our Year, as well'as the very first day of the Creator's of || the world. “Our actions are weighed in {the just balances—and that.a day of reckoning is sure to le, we | must never forget. ‘This truth jpehed in the moral of the ld jholds good ‘of’ individuals ‘nations.

Even when one of them succeeds in evading the law for years, the constant fear of detection and arrest renders his existence miserable. Under no circum- stances does crime ever- pay. EXPECTATION OF LIFE “ How the average span of human life has been increased: during the last three centuries is the subject of an interesting little table in Uncle Sam’s Almanac for 1939. In the year 1600 it is stated that the expectation of life for a child at birth was only 20 years; now it is over 60 years. This almost incredible increase naturally due to the advances of medical and surgical science, and to the many safe- guards to health resulting from better sanitation, These have been most effec- tive in reducing deaths during which in former times were appalling. Even at the present time in the United | States the mortality rate is more than six times greater during the first year after birth than during the second year. Fewest hs occur between the ages. of 10 and 12. At practically all ages females have a life expectancy longer than males. The incresed expectation of life at present, as compared with the past, grows less with advancing age. A person of 60 today has little expectancy beyond what one of that age had 25 or 30 years ago, although the expectancy of a child at birth is now nearly 16 years greater than in |! 1910. In other words, more people live .to | old age nowadays, but the extreme limits is | -infancy | Banks, Charles Rogis and Arthur | |cient food and plenty of drinking! | water, “our only suffering was caused by. being washed by the terrific seas”.
