Another detachment of young in San Carlos Theater were made men from Key West and bounu for Fiorida C.C.C. camps yesterday afternoon for Olustee and Green Cove Springs for the regular period of training. Mem- |bers of the unit are W. H. Smith, Cleveland Henriquez, Fioyd Vil- lareal, Robert Knowies, Harmon, Malcolm Johnson, Geo. Albury and Oscar Baso.

The wise man never worries about those who disagree with him; how can he expect them not to? In a balanced life there is no over- emphasis upon any phase of human exist- ere, whether good or evil. tg Of the mythical divinities, Mars is now the happiest, and wouldn’t he like to get’ us into the maelstrom! Not the conquerors in war, but the peaceful nations that remain out of it, re- ceive the spoils. It is as smart to avoid a national conflict as it is to avoid a personal fight. Several states will continue to ob- serve November 30 as Thanksgiving Day. Every day is Thanksgiving Day so long as the United States is kept out of the clutches of the European war. A bachelor is a timid soul who wouldn’t try anything once.—Key West Citizen. And a benedict is a more brazen sow! who wishes he had been more timid. —Phe Independent, St. Petersburg. Jacksonville, Florida, has reason to be-proud of Miss Lillian Trasher, mother to 647 Egyptian orphans and 74 penniless widows, whom she houses and cares for in an institution conducted by her for the past 28 years at Asyut, Egypt. She has portion of the beach—and, we hope, keep it clean. Members of the Lions club will supervise the work and act as a cheering section for the boys engaged. That’s co-operation at its best. All our civic groups are co-operating. Each seems to have picked out a_ particular field in. which to take an active part in the | rebuilding of the city. It is good work, real work, co-operative work. It is the kind of work that all of us appreciate. It is a real community spirit asserting itself at last. We salute all of the groups and hope each is rewarded by seeing Key West grow and prosper and get strong again. AFTER THE ’ISMS Congressman Dies of Texas furnishes us news items every week. His latest the power-house of un-American activities and the principle source of nasty and un- patriotic propaganda. Communists and Nazi leaders are be- ing placed on the spot throughout the United States, and the Congressional Com- mittee headed by Mr. Dies backs up the prevailing belief that these different groups are carrying on agitation that is dangerous to the democratic standards of government. Naturally those charged with the re- sponsibility of protecting our form of gov- ernment are unusually vigilant at this time because of the deep feeling that exists over the war situation. While the Com- munists have long been recognized as national political party not all of them were suspected as reds until the war pot began to boil. Dies is hunting them down and making things hot.
