The cently an Legior its rec adoption | an independent path in early life. LET’S SEE NOW! We've been paying rather strict at- tention te the news stories concerning big- time projects for our city and county of late—rejoicing, where it was possible, at the f that some of them were apparent- ly ng alorg in pretty good shape. As for instance the Key West Hous- ing Authcrity. Last weekend’s news surely brought that important project—or rather, projeets—up to headline position } azid th cofitemplation of the fact that a goodly‘number of our citizens will be called up for work assignments soon. But, ir the meantime, there are a couple of municipal propositions that we've been slighting of late. s all right | to get the broader view on things, with ! emphasis on a bright future. It’s also just as important to keep after projects right on our doorstep. for instance—this matter of col- lection of taxes in the city. Some time has ince the news stories carried re- ports ar unsuccessful attempt on the part of the council minority to enforce publication of the 1939 delinquent list, with ensuing tax sales. We haven't seen where any of the alternatives have been adopted, in lieu of publication. It'll be | well to.check with the department | ard see whats going on in this matter. Then, the all-important project of city *treets comes to our mind next. What’s ‘ being done about this? It’s good news to hear that the Board f Public Works is, at long last, getting pra on this desperate situation and to see that the main thoroughfare on which visitors enter our city is having its worst holes patched up. This is orly a starter, | however—and the need is for added pres- | sure to get the maximum of work done in the comparatively short period of time | left to accomplish it before the winter sea- | | i elapsed : news son sets in. #4 Collection of taxes and condition of | streets. Score nothing on the first—a par- tial count on the second. That’s the re- port as we go to press today. Tomorrow? Improvement may come. A FATHER DISOWNS HIS SON! “T have completely disowned and dis- inherited my son,” affirms a college pro- fessor in California whose son is an “avow- ed Communist.” There will be many loud-mouthed | patriots to pat the father on the back and | praise him for putting his “views’’ above | his fatherly attachments but, just the same, we are not quite sure that the fa- ther’s action was necessary. “Everyone who kncws me knows all my views are contrary to those” of his son, says the professor. We wonder if the learned man understands that quite a few sensible men and women know that he is not responsible for his son’s views? After all, many a young man gets off on the wrong foot, when he starts to walk Why shouldn't a father recognize mistakes that young men make and stick to his*boy in the hcpe of exerting continuing in- fluence? The incident brings to mind what Stephen V incent Benet has to say about his father in a rec@mt issue of The Reader’s Digest. Undefithe title, “The Most Un- forgettable Character I’ve Met,” the author of “John Brown’s Body” tells how at 16, “I became a Jack London socialist” , and how his father, an army officer, re- acted: “For some time after that my father took considerable pleasure in writing me letters in red ink, concerned with various plots for the overthrow of capitalism and signed ‘Yours for the Revolution.’ ” To be a socialist, not so many years ago, was just about the equivalent of ad- vocxting communism today. a FRANCE GOING NAZI? It is somewhat difficult to under- stand exactly, what-ischappening in France since the 'German occupation, but the Ger- man Government has advised the Vichy Government that the cost of the Army of Occupation, amounting to $8,000,000. a day, must be paid by France. Moreover, French economie life seems to be gradually following the Nazi pat- tern. The other day, the Government of Marshal Petain, follewing its peliey of re- serving such professions exclusively for French citizens, decreed that a lawyer must prove his father was French. Simi- lar provisions already affect physicians, , | surgeens, dentists and pharmacists.

ANSWER TO “STORES OPEN SUNDAY” ditor, The Citizen: Attention has been called to the Open Letter of Miss Ida M. Engel. Presumably the grocery stores of whose conduct she com- plains violate the Christian Sab- bath for the convenience of their petrons. That fact absolves nei- ther the storekeeper nor the pa-! tron. “There ought ering the matter” Then the problem becomes one of law enforcemnt, plainly a obligation. Many other could found ail into the same category of the unenforced. It wouid be easy to d over an alibi why they are not enforced. That would not remedy the condition complained of. While the Decalogue (Exodus 20:8-11) does not specify keeping stores and other places of busi- ness open, surely it falls within the spirit of that Divine com- mandment. Neither does it men- tion the purch: ig of goods, but that too comes under the spirit of the ban. Seller and buyer are parties to the violation of the Di- vine law, which has never been annulled. Let customers stay away from stores doing business on the Lord’s Day, and they will soon find it prudent to close. Members of the Ministerial Al- liance do not approve the condi- tion referred to. They have never ceased to plead for a Christian Sunday. Lovers of the good, will co-operate with every effort to make Key West worthy of the love of law-abiding citizens. We call upon all citizens and visitors to lend their aid to that end. At- to say, ea law co’ less there is one such. which is be no doubt, tend the services of the Church. | They will be found a source of inspiraticn in building the right into a seven-day human life.
