Prosperi The legal phrase, an “Act of God”, seems to show that the legal profession sees God only in the abnormal and the un- expected. ‘ “To see the elephant” was once an American colloquialism, meaning “to do” the town. Possibly when the elephants apperr in a pinkisk hue, the town has been acne brown. Those old Puritans certainly had life made ier for them.

Arthur S. Carpender, senior of- | ficer of the naval forces afloat here, was restrained in his remarks when he _ad- dressed the members of the civic commit- | | tee formed to meet the naval needs for the relaxation of the men after they finish their tours of duty. Capt. Carpender con- fined himself to the simple statement that | the recreational facilities in Key West are | “poor”, i Fortunately, the majority of our civic | | and puolic officials had realized this. | | They knew there was little in the way of: amusement for the men of the navy and other defense forces, except at spots where | they might get into trouble. They knew | the need for a servicemen’s clubhouse, for | quarters in which to read and write let- | ters, for athletic fields and games, for | dances, parties and entertainments. | | Consequently those who attended the | meeting Thursday night at the Chamber of Commerce came prepared to offer facili- | ties for the men of the army, navy and! | marine corps and for their wives and | families. The sum total of the facilities | offered seems to be substantial and prob- ably the greatest single such offering ever | made in Key West. It was voted that the facilities offered were ample for meeting | the present emergency. Another fortunate feature of the con- ; ference was that it was being conducted | by men who know the meaning of action. They are arranging another meeting to be held Monday night to study the facili- ties offered, consider an inventory of the various forms of entertainment and amuse- ment and to take some action toward set- ting up a permanent recreation board. Al- | so it is reported that plans for a more per- | manent clubhouse, with an experienced hostess in charge, are being advanced even at this early stage of the program. | The Citizen believes the project as outlined up to this time is a splendid tri- | bute to the many men and women and the civic and public groups in this city. It | shows the value of community cooperation in a constructive effort. It should con- | vince the naval officers here that Key | West is trying to give concrete proof that | it is navy-minded and happy to have the navy here. Our hope is that the effort does not end at this time—it must be fol- lowed through to the very end, actively, aggressively, completely. | | | GREAT QUAKE RECALLED Recent slight earth tremors in the M ippi valley recall the great earth- | quakes of 1811-1812, which centered at New Madrid, Mo., and were the heaviest shocks ever reported in North America. i Three principai shocks were experi- enced—on December 16, 1811, January 26 and February 7, 1812—with many ‘the Lesson-Sermon which will be \God: ye shall therefore be holy, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Trach 2eis4 FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH H - FODAY’S COMMON ERROR De not say, “I don't doubt but what he saw i me”: say, “I don’t doubt that he saw me”.

TROPIC AMERICA was to be done in a spirit of love and generosity, not of punish- ment and revenge. } As so often happened it was the; impetuous Peter who voiced the question in the minds of the dis- ciples by asking how often; should he forgive a brother. Pe- | ter suggested seven times, more | than required by the Jewish rule, but Jesus multiplies the number indefinitely, saying “un-! til seventy times seven”. Know- ing the boundless expanse of per-; fect love, Jesus knew that no} confinement could be placed upon | its exercise. Then, Jesus illustrated his} teaching by the story which forms the basis of our lesson. A serv- ant, who had been forgiven by his king for his own deficiency, forgot the kindness betsowed upon himself and when one of his own subordinates was found in a like state in relation to himself, adopted an attitude of severit: against him.

The current in the Mississippi river | is said to have been actually reversed for a short time, and a temporary waterfall was created. Great cracks opened in the ground, | landslides fell from the river bluffs, and the whole surface of the country was | altered. Because the country was very sparsely settled at that time, the loss of | life and property was very small. Although many faint earth tremors are felt in various parts of the United States from time to time,'this country has | been remarkably free from major earth- | quake disasters. OLDSTERS ARE TOUGH Although he doesn’t say it in so many | words, Dr. Elliott C. Cutler, head of the department of surgery of Harvard Medical School, seems to believe that the first 65 | years are the hardest. “The very fact that persons have lived to be 65—surviving the infectious | age and the breakdown age—indicates that they are strong, tough folks, and can withstand serious surgical procedures,” , Dr. Cutler said. ‘Corner Division and Georgia Sts. | Church school, 9:45 a. m.

The Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company is the largest, it is true. But the other 854 have the important job of serving about 1,400 southern communities which have a total of some 314,300 telephones. Southern Bell is pleased that its lines connect with the lines of these other southern companies, ‘Dblanketing the South with a vast network of wires —#so that boundaries between companies are not barriers to quick, South-wide telephone service.
