Hale, the deposed man of the state road department, says he was afoolto have signed an undated sration, of which Governor Cone has just taken advantage. Rather than foolish, the act was cowardly. No man should ac- chair- cept a job to which such an ignoble string + is tied. Biggest upset of the entire political campaign was the failure of Holland to carry his home county of Polk. Though he carried Bartow, his home city, he lost the county by 78 votes, in a gubernatorial election, after carrying it four times pre- viously in races for county judge and state senator. But there is such a thing as per- sonal jealousy which keeps some _ people from voting for a man for high office when they would vote for him for a lesser Perhaps the old saying that a_ pro- phet is not without honor save in his own country has considerabe truth in it—San- ford Herald. one. City election commissioners and coun- ty commissioners make concession to slocal candidates when they permit them *to cite their nicknames on the election bal- lots. Whether this is legal or permitted -elsewhere this writer does not know. but apparently it is a practice. which should not ke permitted in the future. If candi- dates have aliases or nicknames they can make them known to the electors through advertisements or some form of printed matter. A nickname takes the place of the proper or legal name and is given in ~ jest or derision and should not be made use of to further identify the candidates seeking office. a GRADUATES SEEK JOBS! Many of the graduates at Key West _ Higk School and the Convent of Mary Im- maculate will go on to schools of higher education, but it is very likely that a majority of them will seek to enter busi- jness or professional life. In other words —they wilk be iooking for jobs. What can the merchants of Key West do to assist ihcm in their search? This first job is most important to the gracuates, and, as a rule, the most difficult to obtain because employers usually wish to employ only experienced young peo- ple. It can be seen, though, that.there is no other way for young men and women © become experienced except by training t can be offered in local business estab- lishments. Here, then, is where business pcople of this city can help. Most of those searching for work— eager to start off on their life’s work— will register with the Florida State Em- ployment Service’s local office. One the functions of this organization is to ad- vise applicants in regard to their future, to give them vocational counsel and guid- 2nd te make special efforts to place them in employment for which their poten- tial capabilities make them pageticularly suited. The agency has made a recent appeal to the business pcople of Key West to look »ssible place for at lezst one.or two f se graduates. It is felt that by so do- ing the employers will be performing a pcivie daty that will immeasurably benefit the cemmunity and, at the same time, very likely, add to one’s organization one who will, in the future, become a valued em- ployee. The Citizen hopes that as many busi- | ness places as can and will, will call on | the Empleyment Service office for at least one of these graduates. It seems quite im- | portant that these young people secure start in busiress life before the edge r fine enthusiasm becomes dulled by ntment and they become recon- i to the idea of going on government relief. Let’s make this “Hire a Graduate” week Key West. The graduates, prop- erly ned in theory, are looking to you, Mr. Businessman, for an opportunity to be- come trained praetically! A NEW PENSION GRAB While persions for World War vet- erans have heretofore been confined the- retically te service-connected disability | cases, a bill now pending in Congress would break down this barrier by provid- ing pensions for needy widows, orphans id dependent parents of veterans regard- of disability as a result of war service. This means that a man who served a few months in a training camp will be placed in the same class with the soldier who died in France with a bullet through | his body. Frankly, we see no justification for this provision. The widow of the veteran who died in France is entitled to greater consideration from her government than the widow of a man who was unharmed during service | confined to a few months training in this country. F dt-should.also be pointed out that the | | effect of this legislation is to place widows, | children and parents of uninjured veterans in a class entitled to superior benefits from the government as compared with widows, children and parents whose husbands, fa- thers or sons did not happen to be of fight- ing age. We have repeatedly pointed out that the government cannot do too much for veterans woundéd in the World War and for parents, wiGows and children of com- bat dead and injured. If the government has additional funds available for pen- siors, it should increase the amount now being paid to these classes. The bill now before Congress does not give any additional aid to those who really suffered the loss of loved ones during the struggle. ACUTE DISTRESS IN POLAND Events in the European war move so fast these days that people forget some of the things that have happened and the plight of some of the unfortunate vic- tims of Adolf Hitler’s decision to wage war. : The first shipment of food for dis- tribution to war Warsaw, in German-occupied Poland, where relief officials estimate that half | of the population is in “sore distress.” "95. |Rear Admiral Wil | fatt. chief of the bureau of aero- !nautics at Washington, according zone sufferers has reached | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN of .
