Some of the radio programs are in the we-came-from-the-monkeys tone. The Christian Front could be more adequately named the “Affront.” A professor says it is easy to write a poem. But it is easier rot to write one— and better. Every community has a few super- men who, in their opinion, are to decide all public quagtions for the good of the moronic population. Winchell says that Jonah touched “Key Largo” too. . .Winchell is wrong again—Jonah never got farther in his vels than Pirates Cove. Old London pugilistic records disclose a battle between two women in the ring in the year 1722. They were each obliged to | hold a coin in each hand, they fought with- out gloves, and the first to drop her coin was to forfeit the fight. What was the idea of the coin? To prevent scratching. ‘Inere is one thing favorable that can be said of the 17 plotters against the United States government, their program included the destruction of Communism in.this country. But tearing down the American form of government in.order to do away with Communism would be a remedy worsé than the disease. Extra! Extra! Russia announces that '¥ the Finnish army doesn’t return the guns it stole from the Soviet government, it will declare war on Finland. That was the _blood-curdling threat made over the ow radio last week. -What, may we sk, were the Russian guns and ammuni- | ‘oirng on Finnish soil in the first | place? tien H. B. “Doc” Kerr, a Miami Herald | correspondent, crammed a lot of inaccurate information in a few paragraphs, after a stay in the city. He says he “heard” | wdbout the New Jersey mosquitoes being | whoppers, but takes his hat off to the Key | West variety, meaning they are bigger; and | if the secretary of the Chamber of Com- merce has been a resident of Key West for | 26 years he is by now a very old man, in- | deed. Other inaccuracies are noted. brief closed when congressmen were no longer | permitted to send free seeds to their con- | scituents. .There is one free seed story | that still remains classic, and with the ap- | proach of the congressional campaign, it is | apropos. A congressman received this | dcknowedgement from one of his rural) donstituents: “John’s influence can’t be | got with 15 cents worth of seeds, but if yeu | help from anyone. | spot. | Treasury for funds. | a _ One field for the jokesmith, alas, was | 1 e& ‘ West come back along the ward prosperity. The majority © not take part in these activities fall into three general groups: Those who never take an interest in anything; those who would like to take an interest in something and ean’t b ise they feel they ‘cannot hy organization, and,‘those ing to make a living and ie time nor the money to help the Help Key West movement. There is one way in which all those interested in the future of Key West can help develop a bright future. That is by being cheerful, friendly and helpful to tourists, winter residents and the officers and men of the army, navy and marine | an ccrps who are stationed here. Too many of our citizens are shy about making friends with strangers. They | are ba¢ékward in contacting visitors not be- cause they are not friendly and _ helpful folks, but because they have an idea that visitors want to be left alone, to rest here in peace, without a Ict of idle chatter and curiosity on the part of residents. There are a few visitors who do want to go along without a cheerful They are not hard to The ingrained grouch wears a dour mask and is a good guy to stay away from The majority of the visitors are on vaca. tion. They are in a frolicksome frame of mind. They want to go places and see | things and like to talk about themselves, the kids back home, the trip down from the north—and Key West. Key West a city? How many people live here? What do you do for a Where is the best place to eat? good shows? | How do you get to the aquarium? and hundreds of questions are in his mind or on t! 2 tip of his tongue. That’s where your friendly Key Wester can be of service. There should be a cheerful smile, a friendly word for every stranger. Start a conversation with the average stranger and you strike a gold mine of friendly talk beneath his frost- bitten surface. By being friendly and Wester can make the stranger feel at home in our city. They will go away with a ‘good opinion of us. They will be more fully informed about Key West. They will be boosters for Key West. “The Citizen suggests the creation of a more cheerful and friendly attitude on the part of all our citizens. It costs so little ‘and means so much to the future of Key West. CONGRESS SEEKS ECONOMY Just about the time that the nation | begins to worry about the budgetary prob- | lems of the Federal Government, word comes from Washington that Congress is considering the appointment of a special committee to study the subject inde- pendently of the executive department. This is interesting. We have never pinned much hope in economy, a la Con- | gress, but you never can tell. Maybe the boys will cut the money going to farmers, to those on relief, the veterans and other well organized groups that look to the This may happen but we will have to see it first and we do not expect to see it in an election year. Balancing the budget is extremely simple. Just forget about the unemployed, the plight of the farmers, the need for ade- quate defense and other functions that the public demands. The budget will auto- matically be balanced. It will stay bal- anced until another election day rolls around and then a new set of will unbalance the budget. WOMAN TO HEAD PBK Phi Beta Kappa, the oldest Greek letter fraternitjiin the United States, will this year’ have its first woman president | since its organization 163 years ago. The honor will go to Dr’. Marjorie Hope Nicol- son, dean of Smith College. She was selected recently by the nominating committee of the society, but will not be formally elected and installed until next September, when the triennial | meeting will be held in San Francisco.
