The Key West Citizen believes that newspapers and their readers will reach perfection about the same time. However, neither of us will be there to write the head «a that story.—Sanford Herald. It is understood Sheriff Thompson will again run for the shrievalty of Mon- ree County, and it will be up to the elec- torate of the county either to K. O. or to O. K. him. He has been twice O. K.’d; three’s a charm—maybe. ‘ Mrs. Roosevelt has taken a home at Miami Beach for a month of rest, while the President is fishing in Florida waters. | It is said she will visit Key West during the | sojourn since she expressed the wish to view the Overseas Highway. Proving how far America has gone in the last eighty years, both Jim Farley and Alfred M. Landon pay tribute to Abraham Lincoln ard his ideals on Lincoln Day. The Demoeratic and Republican parties are se-much alike these days that even the Supreme Court can hardly define the dif- ference.—Sanford Herald. About the only | difference is that one brays and the other trumpets. B. F. Paty, carididate for who-spoke in Key, West last week, made a good impression ow those who heard him. He has a constructive program, and one of its points will be hailed with delight by the e?ctorate in general and particularly by thevoffice holders of the state, in doing a2wayewith the reprehensible practice of | demanding undated resignations from peo- ple appointed by the governor. He will ask The legislature, if elected, to make it an tmipeachable offense for a governor to demawi ‘undated resignations, putting an end 6 this form of vasalage. If we can imagine every man in Key West up to 43 fighting an enemy striking | viciously at our liberties at the Dade Coun- | ty line; if we canimagine huge bombing | planes such as those in daily practice | flights from Trumbo Island dropping | death-dealing and flaming projectiles on | | Duval and Fleming streets; if we can | imagine temperatures so cold in Key West | that a man would die if he sat down to | play dominoes at fire headquarters, we may ke able to under:‘and what is hap- pening in Finland today. There is a once-peaceful country that | has been nlunged into war to save its liberty, its right to live as it pleases simply | because that liberty and that freedom do not agree wtih a theory gripping a bully- ing neighbor. While Finland’s pitifully small fighting army is fending off a horde cf Russian robots, thousands of women and children back of the tottering front line are shivering in cold, burying their dead | and stoically suffering that the democratic way of life may not perish from the earth. | The Finns are fighting for the same ideal | of life that is threaded into the American Constitution, that is the warp and woof of American life. | | | | | | and her heroic men, women and children when it is called to our attention that con- tributions are being sought in Key West and Monroe County for the “Help Fin- land” campaign. Without some help, very substantial help from Key West, Monroe County, the state of Florida and the en- | tire United States, the Finnish nation, all her men, women and children, may be de- stroyed. A dollar contributed to this fund extinction. Key Westers are always sympathetic and generous in helping their afflicted neighbors. Key Westers usually take the side of the underdog in any fight. It is not likely they will fail to help the Finnish people in their hour of direct need. NEW RADIO WONDER Experiments which experts predict will lead to a revolution of the radio in- dustry in a few years were successfully “frequency modulation” broadcasting. This new system, the invention of Major Edwin H. Armstrong, which is said to do away with static and man-made in- | , : : . : | terferences with radio reception, is being | | | | pletely successful. | re-radiocasting of programs taken directly from the station of origin by other stations, without the aid of telephone wires. At prese’ ali network prosrams are carried | by telephone from the place of origin to | the individual stations in the hook-up. In the latest test, a program orig- | inating at the frequency modulated station in Yonkers, N. Y., was re-broadcast and re- | layed by similar stations in Alpine, N. J., | and Meridian, Conn., without the use of | wires, This feat, while not easy to under- stand by the layman, was described by radio experts and scientists as “amazing.” K. B. Warner of the American Radio Re- lay League enthusiastically declared: “T thought it was technically impos- sible with three relays, yet the program | was still better by far than the present or- | dinary system at its best.” governor, | TREATY NOT THE CAUSE THE KEY WEST CITIZEN LIONS CLUB TO — CO-OPERATE IN DEMOCRACY DAY MEETING LAST NIGHT FEA-) FIVE YEARS AGO x >.

When making a call, be slow to hang up if you don’t get an answer immediately. The person u’re calling may be some distance away from tis telephone or otherwise unable to answer promptly.
