R., pub- | lished by E. F. O’Brien in Havana, fea- tured a full-length story about Key West, its present and future. Part of that story reprinted in yesterday’s issue, in the | form of a news story. The balance, chief- | ly because it blends more closely into edi- torial-style release, is reserved for this | space. Editor O’Brien asks | questions in the story—questions which all Key Westers might be ing them- selves about our progress, or lack of it, to- wards better times. He states: “It is now September—the summer is over and it is the time to reeapitulate what | has been accomplished this year. “Has the road over the old railway right of way been built? Or even started? “Is there water in the city pipes? “Are the sewers in operation? “How about a water supply power line from the mainland? “Name a major accomplishment since 1939! “Key West must realize that actions and not words are needed if the city is not to relapse again into the deadly hiatus that engulfed it in déspair before the navy came back.” Pointed questions, are they not? And are our answers? Sewers, to be sure, we have, and in operating condition, but an extreme scarcity of users. None of the other projects have been completed— or, as Mr. O’Brien states, even started. In demonstrating his knowledge of our city and its conditions, Mr. O’Brien points out the danger of slipping back to desperate days. With that opinion, The Citizen can agree, when past history is contemplated. Nevertheless, we can hope and work increasingly harder towards escape from that dangerous relapse. The Citizen | would suggest that the call be issued now —for workers, and still more workers, to “Keep Key West Ahead”. Let it not be said, when another year rolls around, and we contemplate another winter season in the offing, that all of us didn’t do our share in helping to promote the city and its best interests. With that | determination, at least some of these per- tinent questions may be answered in the affirmative. some pertinent and HOW FRANCE PAYS FOR DEFEAT As we understand the situation, France must pay the costs of maintaining 2,000,000 German soldiers in ‘occupied France,” also the upkeep of 2,000,000 F¥ench prisoners taken by the Germans and now being transferred in part, to Ger- many for work, and, according to some newspaper correspondents, the cost of cer- | tain German laborers who are being sent nto France. This ought to give the world in gen- eral a good idea of what Hitler and his | regime considers a just peace. The costs thus placed upon the prostrate treasury of the defeated nation is not the only tribute that it is paying to its conquerers. It | covers only: the “official costs.” It has been reported that German soldiers, in occupied France, are being | paid in special marks that the Bank of France is required to honor, although the German government has put up nothing to | make them good. The invaders buy what they want, paying Frenchmen in the arti- ' ficial money. The French lose the goods, which are valuable, and get in return worthless paper money. RADIO CHANGES AHEAD Radio listeners might as well know it now as later because when March 29, 1941, comes around there will be a whole- sale shift of operating frequencies of 777 out of 862 broadcasting stations in the United States. Many favorite programs will be lo- cated at different places on the dial and push-button sets, in many cases, will have to be readjusted to the situation. While there will be much inconveni- ence in connection with the changes that are necessary, asa result of an _ inter- | national agreement, the arrangement will eliminate interference due to clashing of adjacent waves and overcrowding of chan- nels. Frequencies to be “moved” lie in the broadcast spectrum above the 720- kilocycle mark. The job will not only af- fect listeners but the broadcasting stations will also have their own troubles in ad- | | justing their transmitters.

SATURDAT, SEPTEM Sunday School Lesson THE USE AND ABUSE OF thmg &« tee Bae gee = SG WEALTH International Sunday School Les- son for September 29. 2940 Lesson Text: Proverbs 11-34-31 Luke 16:1-13 One of the greaest responsiiul:- ties which can come to 2 Chts- tian is the responsibility wealth. Even the man of moder- ate means has many opportuni- ties for umselfish helpfulmess Failure to realize and measure up * to the obligation of one's posses- sions means spiritual failure One of the first problems te be confronted in considering lesson is that of making money rightfully. Our modern life so engrossed with materialis: that, in planting ideals and ambi- tions in the minds of the youth of our land, the idea is given that the accumulation of wealth is the aim, while very little is said about how this money should be made. Consequently. there too great a tendency to judge success in life by the size of the accumulated pile of dollars, with- out any corresponding scrutiny of the means by whcih the fortune has been made. Jesus nowhere taught that the possession of money, or of wealth was a wrong or a sim Al through the Bible mention made of numbers of rich men. among them being Abraham. Jo- seph, Jacob, and Matthew tells us of Joseph of Arimathea. whe was a rich man and a disciple of 4. Jesus. Jesus makes no distinc- tion between the rich and the poor—to him they were. and are immortal souls who need salva- , tion. Jesus did teach that the posses- ». sion of wealth is a distinct peril and he warned that it was “eas- ier for a camel to go through the ,. eye of a needle than for 2 rich man to enter the kingdom of God”. He knew that it was easy for men to let the love of money become the ruling passion of their lives. We know of people today who are struggling and working hard to- accumulate a grest deal of wealth. So engrossed are they in its accumulation that they neglect everything else—ther home, their family, society and their spiritual welfare. While the Bible teaches thrift and condemns wastefulness. also commends generosity. Pro- verbs, written by Solomon, who was a very wealthy man, reckons generosity as one of the supreme virtues. And, when we think of ot it, the words of Proverbs on this subject agree perfectly with the teaching of Jesus himself. Jesus insisted that the liberal man re- ceive a personal blessing through his kindness and generosity and was a source of blessing to oth- ers. The selection from Proverbs given us as a basic for our study for this lesson urges generosity Just as the planted field. if it is not properly fertilized and cul- , tivated, will yield 2 poor harvest. 5 so the grasping, selfish man, who fails to divide his substance with others, dries up within and be- comes spiritually poor indeed. When Jesus said, “Lay not up for yourself treasures upon the earth”, he was net condemming thrift or the desire for personal security, he was merely forbid- diately after the 8 o'clock serv- ding the wiation of ; \for selfish purposes. In our coun- — -'try, there are holders of great ° wealth who are the benefactors of civilization. The man who lable to build factories and pro- ivide employment for thousands of people is a benefactor, prowid- ed he conducts his business with the welfare of his employes im mind. However, the man who ac- quires great wealth and uses & for the gratification of his own selfish desires, with no regard for society or his own eternal wel- fare, he it is whom Jesus con- demned. We should remember at all times that this is God's world. j that he created us, that every- Evening service, 8:00 o'clock. ;
