The Vatican has issued a decree per- | mitting missionaries and Chinese Catholics tc pay honor at ceremonial rites to Con- fucius, the great Chinese sage. The de- | eree is based on the fact that he is con- | sidered a national hero and _ philosopher, | and not a divinity. Confucius Say: Noth- | ing. Lieut.-Colonel MacMullen has been made “commodore for life’ by the Key West Yacht Club in recognition of services rendered. Popular with Key West folks | in general, the colonel is hailed .by the Spanish-speaking portion of our popula- | tion with the endearing term of “un buen chico.” If every citizen. of Key West: would } give some of his, or:her, time to the de- velopment of community goals we would reach them without much -delay. The | Chamber of Commerce is at present in the throes of an active campaign “To Put Key West Ahead” and the. opportunity is of- fered to lend a helping hand. “In helping others, we should not forget to help .our- selves, KEY WEST CIVIC WEEK This has been proclaimed by Mayor Key West Civic Week. During the week the members of the Key West Chamber of Commerce will | attempt to sell Key West to Key Westers. At quick glance, this might seem like a foolish thing to do. It isa well known fact that most Key Westers are sold on Key West. But they are not sold in a civic sense, on the necessity of putting a shoulder against the creaking civic «machine and giving it a lift out of the-economic:rut in which the city had been mired by loss of | industries, less of population and loss of faith and hope itself. The Chamber of Commerce is at- tempting to get the unlimited and active support of the general public of a program | that rie the following tentative objectives: . Advertising and publicity for the ; recreational, health and_ tourist 2. Closer co-operation with the army, the navy, the coast guard and the public health serv 3. Assisting the constituted officials mainland, hospital; provide better housing facilities, and other projects. 4. Increasing the tourist, recreational and vacation facilities for tourists and for | the hundreds of servicemen here. 5. Back sound proposals for deepen- ing of the intracoastal canal to Key West, improving the yacht and boat facilities establishing better transportation service to and from Cuba. Recognizing that too often in the past | such programs have never been followed much beyond the formative stage, the Chamher of Commerce now is planning a permanent organization to see this pro- gram through. Under that organization Chamber will be charged with responsibility for appoint- | ment of committees and for other effort to | produce results under the program. Few Key Westers can argue that the program as tentatively outlined is not Nearly all will agree that it is sound, sensible and necessary. There is now more than ever cause for hope that the Chamber of Com- | merce will produce tangible progress along | the line advanced this week. The Citizen believes the program de- serves united public support—sincerely hopes that the Chamber of Commerce ‘is supported with every last ounce of strength and force inherent in the people of Key West. WHAT SHOULD THE NEUTRALS DO? There are people in the world, and some of them in the United States, who | think that Norway should take drastic ac- | tion against Great Britain because British lestroyers invaded Norwegian waters to free more than 300 British sailors who were aboard the German prison ship, Altmark. 3 We imagine that there are some mem- | bers of the United States Senate who will have much to say about this “violation” of international law by the British. They dilate their eyes and intone their voices to depict the depravity .of the English. If Norway is supposed to strafe the then it | British (which the British deny) would be interesting to know what the Norwegians, because of this violation of her neutrality, should do to the Germans | who have destroyed 49 Norwegian mer- chant ships, with the loss of 327 lives among the members of their crews? ‘If there are members of the United States Congress who are severely ‘“smit- ten” by British action against the neutral nations, including the United States, we wonder what these Congressmen think the neutral nations should do to the Germans who have sunk 158 neutral ships, most of them in absolute violation of the rights of neutral ships to continue their commerce | during the war? INTELLIGENCE BY AGES AND SEXES | Dr. Frank) H. Pyéethah) of ‘the -Uni- }: | versity. of California Sehgol, of Education, recently conducted a test, pon... 2,331 per- sons in order to ascertain’ the ‘intelligence ratio of various ages and between the two sexes. He reports that.the results indicate that a person’s intellectual capabilities do not decline after he is forty. Regarding the two sexes he reports that his test failed to substantiate «the ; opinion that there is a difference. | Ceececnceceveccceceseost ‘CASA MARINA NOTES | covwemer scotanesecccease ROBERT FROST. of ‘Boston, well-known poet of New £ng- land, ieft this morning for Mi- ami.
