That’s| that many too many at this time. What has become of the pacifists who uscd to say the United States should dis- arm as an example to other nations? The New York Newspaper Guild s¢ems to have a reddish tint, if we are to believe reports from reliable sources. “Be not too hasty to outbid another” is an ancient preverb, but it seems that a i lot of bridge players never heard of ti. <; Taxes for national defense -will | ch::erfully. borne.by all patriotic citizens, but the money should not be spent “ex- travagantly as was done to a great extent with the last $7,000,000,000. iz the federal government demanded the payment of both city and county taxes as a requisite of citizenship, the tax dedgers of Key West and Monroe county would soon find the money to remain in the gocd graces of the government. “Increased rational defense needs should not take our minds off domestic treubles.”—Key West Citizen.- Don’t let it “get you down,” the average wife will see to it that the domestic troubles are brought to the attention of the average husband.—Times-Union. Why bring that up? There is no question that advertisers receive benefit from the readers of: a newspaper whether it is paid for or not, and as it has been estimated that no fewer than three peeple read each issue of a daily paper, advertisers in The Citizen are assured that more than 5,000 people read this paper daily. In this connection it may be repeated again that former Mayor} Curry told this writer that 42 persons read his copy of The Citizen every day, and added “you may print that statement if you like.” . i | and recreation will be carried out. | room project during regular school ' sions. | holding several soldiers. | lay, ma LEISURE TIME! Profitable employment of leisure time, both fer children and adults, has long becn studied by government authori- ties in various branches, and great strides have been made. Especially is this true in the case of children of school age during slack summer seasons when, if it wasn’t for many projects, there existed so much danger of development of characteristics not productive as time advanced. So then, Key. Westers city-wide wel- comed the program announced yesterday by W. P. A. headquarters here that a Summer Camp would open in the city next Monday to be held at Harris School lunch- room. Leisure time in Key West is much more of a probiem than it is in almost any other city, due chiefly to the fact that dis- tances to other cities are so great. During summer months, elsewhere, profitable use of spare time is accomplished by periodic sightseeing trips to other cities—picnics, hikes and all sorts of pleasure jaunts that are practically impossibie for residents in this city, at least for the great majority. Of importance, too—is the cost of leisure time employment to those seeking worthwhile endeavors. With all the foregoing in mind, heads of five divisions of the W. P. A. Profes- sional and Seryice facilities in Key West have joined forces to conduct the daily camp sessions that will provide interesting diversion for children of the city for five hours daily throughout the summer months. There will be classes in art and music. | Story-telling hours will prove of interest to the youngsters. Library contests will en- gage older children—so too, will reading periods. Craft teaching will headline ac- | tivities for young and old and throughout the whole camp program a spirit of play And there’s going to be a lunch period, teo— operated on the same basis as the lunch- ses- Those who can will pay—those who can’t, will receive free meals. The Citizen expects to see a full regis- | tration of children for this camp over this | weekend. And, as a consequence, good for the city will come from the opera- | tion of the camp. THE TROJAN HORSE War dispatches lately have contained numerous references to “the Trojan horse,” | in cornection with the planting of spies and disguised troops in countries marked for invasicn by Germany. Groups of Nazis or Nazi sympathizers have thus been or- ganized in virtually all parts of the world. The original Trojan horse was a huge wooden one, hollow inside, and capable of Its story is told of the ancient and perhaps legendary war between the Greeks and the people of | Troy, about 1200 years before Christ. After the Greeks had beseiged Troy | for about ten years in an effort to obtain the release of Helen, wife of Menelaus, who had been abducted by Paris, son of | the Trojan king, the city was finally over- come by means of a clever stratagem. Pretending to abandon the siege, the “tiGreeks left the wooden horse outside the walls andéwithdrew. The Trojans brought thé “horse inside as a trophy of war. night when the city was asleep, the Greeks came out of the horse and opened the gates, allowing the Greek army to enter. Befere the Trojans could organize resist- ance, the city was looted and burned. Whether mythical or real, the Trojan horse has been for centuries the symbol of deception and treachery, and its story is told in classic epics, notably the Iliad of Homer. It contains a warning for nations of today, as many of them are now begin- ning to realize.
