We are very proud of our reasoning powers, yet guess at about half we know. One of the mysteries of life is why people with brafns, are too lazy to use them. It wouldn’t be so bad to be poor if we could only keep the distressing fact a secret, Chemists say man is composed mostly: of glue. Yet many fail to stick to anything very long. The upkeep of a pretty face seems to be just about as expeysive as that of a homely one. We have heard some pretty poor ser- mons in our day but we still say it is a good idea to go to church regularly. In time wise persons learn not to be envious, but then they are, generally too old to undue the results of the envy of younger years. Peace will come to the world when | people, everywhere, are willing to do as much for the case of peace as they do for the sake of a war. “There is a God—He creates people | with equal rights.’”” These words were re- cently uttered by Dietator Hitler. Of course, the people of Czechoslovakia, Aus- tria and Poland aren’t people, they are simply vassals, and are being treated that way now by their inhuman conquerors, The traditional privilege of the fair sex to propose marriage in Leap Year has its origin in legislation enacted in Scotland in 1288. The old Scotch law, which ap- parently has never been formally re- pealed, said in part: “It is statut and or- daint that during the rem of hir maist blissit Megeste, for ilk yeare knowne as lepe yeare, ilk mayden ladye of bothe highe and lowe estait shall hae liberte to bombs do to the women and children and bespeke ye man she likes.” PROTECTING PUBLIC PROPERTY i Citizens generally will applaud the | decision by the M@nroe County Commis- | sion to protest the leasing of state-owned ‘lands along Overseas Highway between | Upper and Lower Matecumbes to persons who have been “squatting there without | legal authority.” In a few years ihe | Overseas Highway. will be priceless. Not | all of these lands, particularly the parcels | affecting the beauties of the drive from | the mainland to Key West, should be leased for commercial purposes. Con- | struction of commercial structures should be confined to definite areas, while the bulk of the land should be left. in its wild state, providing vistas of the Atlantic and the Gulf for the tourist without a clutter of shacks and billboards in the foreground. Our county officials must be alert in seeing that unauthorized persons do not occupy any more of these lands without authority, and should continue to oppose all efforts of commercial interests to lease the public lands along that scenic entrance | to Key West. | In the case of the Matecumbe “‘squat- | ters’ it is charged they have established small businesses that cater to the traveling | treasury. If this charge be true, the | sheriff’s office was wise in ordering the | alleged squatters to vacate the property. | The effect of the vacation order was lost | when cfficials of the state department of | agriculture wired countermanding instruc- | tions. i Monroe county residents hope that the officials of the Florida Internal Im- provement Board, which seems to hold title in the lands in question at Matecumbe, will not lease the plots to the two squat- ters. State lands must not be leased until our county officials investi- gate and make proper recommendations to the state board. | in a scenic highway must be protected | against unsightly encroachments by cheap exploiters of the public domain. | NUMBER ONE PROBLEM | peat stort aby When you get a little spare time you ; mi | if for no other reason, what. many con- | sider the number one problem of the nation. Unemployment of millions of work- ers constitutes a challenge to the future of the United States. | people, anxious to begin life but without | ployment.’ Since the depression thousands of young men and young women have had to | face life without employment.
