There may be better buys in the world, but we don’t know of anything as much of a bargain as the average news- paper.

The country will ask not only for a dignified and relevant but for a fair cam- peign. If the President is going to pose as being too deeply immersed in the duties of vis office to electioneer frankly for the third term he has asked for, while at the | ume time he instructs or permits Cabinet icials and others whom he has placed on the public payroll to make personally sive speeches in his behalf, the public may decide that the dice are being too heavily loaded in the Administration’s favor.—New York Times. é&bu It was on June 4 that President Roose- velt expressed his opinion that Congress might as well adjourn. National defense, he said, would not require the presence of the lawmakers in Washington, Nor, he further stated, could they serve any pur- pose except, perhaps, the laudable one of making speeches. Since the date of that nart crack, it would take up much space to eite all the eommendable and necessary ihirgs Congress aecomplished. Congress is hired by the year and should stay on the | job; already it has had a vacation with pay. There is muck work to be done in what appears to develop into the most vital quarter of a year in the Nation’s history. | effect the coming of bad | the NINETY DAYS! Beginning today and continuing for an indefinite period, The Citizen will feature on its front page a warning under 90 DAYS rve to remind residents of Key West liv- ing on streets wherein sewer laterals have been installed that they must connect up their house lines to the system within the the caption— The notice will speciiied time limit. Incidentally, The Citizen is correct a statement made glad to previously in these columus concerning this Ninety-day limit. Our source of information The start of that , period was not to be until city officials had published the ordinance by title. On September twenty-third last, the necessary legal notice was posted in this paper. Now, it is mandatory for some one thousand home-owners to connect up their r lines according to provisions of the sewer ordinance. They must do so by De- stand ir. viclation of this city proved incorrect. warning Key West fought to have this sewer line installed. The Federal government spent One Million dollars in bringing the ystem to us, the while hundreds of Key Westers were employed at work so badly It is quite without the pale of all reeson to think that, having been installed and placed in running order, the people iat city will not follow through with provisions to use the sewers. So, then—just as reminder, The itizen will run this notice daily from this time forward. It hopes that the time will not be far off when the need for it will | have vanished into the healthy atmos- phere of a civic-minded cooperation on | the part of a majority of residents who will have made the necessary preparations | to abide by the law. needed. a WEATHER AND THE WAR Not only England, but a large part of | the whole world, is speculating on what weather may have on German bombing raids. It has been generally believed that the storms and fogs soon to be prevalent over Britain and the English channel will serve to ham- per the German attack It has been observed, however, that in some instances in recent weeks successful German air raids have been made in spite of heavy clouds and rain. British bomb- ers have also inflicted much damage on the weather was apparently unfavorable. There is little likelihood that bomb- ing raids by either side will be discon- tinued except temporarily because of bad weather, but it will be difficult to do more than attempt to reach objectives through blind flying and drop bombs pretty much at random. Thus any damage done will likely be at the expenditure of an enor- mous amount of bombs in comparison with results obtained, and hitting im- portant military bases will be largely ac- cidental. Because storms travel mostly from west to east, the British will have a con- siderable advantage, as the weather Eng- and has one day will generally prevail ever Germany about 24 hours later. No weather forecasts are given out in England, so the Germans will have little informa- tion as to what to expect until they run in- to it. On the whole, England expects to gel much relief from the fogs and mists which prevail from about October until March, and these are hopefully awaited. FOOLISH STATEMENT AWARD Of all the foolish statements attri- buted to foreign statesmen since the War in Europe began, the highest award, so far as we are concerned, goes to Foreign Minister Paul Baudouin, of France. Undoubtedly incensed because British warships, led by General de Gaulle, shelled the West African port of Dakar preparatory to landing troops, the French Foreign Minister asserted, “Wounded as she may be, France still is capable of de- fending herself and replying blow for blow. If this statement is correct, the logical suggestion is that the French begin de- fending themselves against German ag- gression and practicing the “blow for blow” technique against the soldiers of Adolf Hitler who have overthrown the | French Government and are the masters | of France. ° THE KEY WEST CITIZEN WEDNESDAY ‘OU couldn't count the number of times you've drunk a glass of grape juice, but how often have you eaten it? That's the fatest word from the pie world, and coupled with it is the news that your old friend meringue, which usually tops the pie, now comes out as the crust! The whole thing is colorful, deli- cious and new—easy as pie! Use the recipe for Grape Cream Me- ringue that follows, and prepare to eat your grape juice!

The use of Federal st- ance seems to have demoralized initiative in our community. The citizens of Kev West are purely indifferent and I challenge them to prove otherwise: because if the pride aroused years ago existed they would arouse themselves from their lethargy. Where are our city council and county commissioners? I hope the local administration is not enjoy- ing a prolonged siesta. I was ashamed when I read in the paper only recently that the navy had refused contracts two local firms because of unsani- tery conditions. Are we interested in a Federal dole, political gratuity and local indifference? Winter is here, at least almost, and our streets lonk like we have had an air raid. Where is the Chamber of Com- merce and the Junior Chamber. It always has been known that 2 great part of our inhabitants did not know the meaning of civie pride.
