The cheering is over and the head- | aches are soon to follow.

Don’t forget that. - This column has stated several times that the preparedness for total defense ; will be good for the young men who are being conscripted—mentally physically | and spiritually—and since the number of conscripts is so large, it will be benet.cial | to.the whole country. At a recent meet- irig of the College of Physicians of Phila- délphia it was’the consensus that the pre- paredness program will give a “tre- mendous impetus to the building up of na- ti6nal health by revealing the physical de- | fe¢ts of the population and by providing j new hospitals and other facilities.” Mussolini is learning that the Greeks | are a hardy race. Much of the hardiness | is undoubtedly due to their military train- itig, which is compulsory end universal. 1 begins in the 21st year and continues until tHe 50th. Normally the term of service in th® active army is two years for all arms. This is followed by 19 years in the first reServe of the active army and eight year3 | in-the second.

WVice-President-elect Wallace has been designated as official envoy by the Presi- | gat to attend the inauguration of General | ie] Avila Camacho as president of | Gxico. ‘Tae move is made to strengthen | the political solidarity in the Western | Hemisphere but may turn out to result in | the reverse at Jeast insofar as Mexico ‘is | eoneerned. General Juan Andreu, rival of Camacho, has a large and potent fol- | _»ving, and claims that the, instead of | ‘amache, won the recent Mexican eléc- tion. In naming Mr. Wallace to represent | the United States at Camacho’s inaugura- | tion, it means that se far as this Govern- } ment is concerned, Almazan’s fight has | been futile and the controversy is ended. By-implieation, the followers of Almazan | will interpret this act as unwarranted in- ; terference in the affairs of Mexico, and | trguble may result.

Instead of the State Road Department stating that they were ready to start im- mediate construction of the Overseas High- way «xtension, north and south of the present Bridge District, it now appears that the SRD indicated only that surveys of the northern section of the highway were to be made immediately. Key West is quite used to surveys, thank you, and, in the main has become waite enured to the fact that such opera- ions generally bring very little else other ! than that work. Qf course, to treat the subject with all fa‘rness, it must be agreed that before highw: y work can come, sur- veys must be undertaken. With the ad- vance work finished, however, just what will come of the project—that’s what Key | Westers are asking. To get back to this “half-truth” busi- It is a serious matter to go off at “half-cock” about stories that con- cern our city so vitally. It is to be hoped that the giver of the information, so properly credited to him in the “‘streamer- 2 s story will be more careful of is subject before passing them ; on to his public. Encouraging news for our highway, however, came last weekend irom another source. The newly-formed Eastcoast High- way Association has been placed on record as in favor of making all of Route No. 1, from its northern limits in the state to Key West, a military road. With that desig- nation, it ean be safely stated, improve- ments will quickly come—federally-fi- nanced. it’s too late for this year’s traffic to our city—but let’s hope the new highway will be completed in time for next sum- mer’s business. OUR READY-MADE ARMY The United States has so many latent source> of strength which are not actually | app:cciated by our own citizens that we are a much stronger nation in ceiiain re- spects than we ourselves realize, says Har- ey C. Fruehauf, President, Fruehauf Trailer Company. “Take, for example, our ‘standing army’ of truck drivers. No other country in the world has the number of men who are experienced in handling automotive equipment as we have. In this ccuntry there are more than three and Most of these on automotive equip- A goodly share of them are expert under all ment. at handling heavy duty units | sorts of tough and trying conditions. “No subject is as close to the heart of Americans today as the job of preparing our country against any eventuality. Noth- ing is so vital in the preparedness program, not only for actual combat units but for the vast ‘behind-the-lines’ activity, as the transportation of field forces and equip- ment as well as the greatly increased volume of commercial products. The ex- perience of our truck operators in the handling of their trucks and trailers over the highways is an invaluable asset to the nation’s mobility and flexibility. “Tt would be difficult indeed to find | a more yaluable body of citizens than the truck drivers of the United States. For this reeson nothing should be left undone | which would help to dévelop the morale, character, education and efficiency of this group.” THE NAVY’S NEW ENSIGNS It is interesting to report that the Navy has just commissicned 264 new en- signs, the first non-Annapolis men to re- ceive such commissions since the World War. . It seems that the Navy is using the old battleship Illinois as a training school for young college men. The men recently | commissioned comprised the first graduat- ing class after completing a four-months intensive course. They were advised, at their commencement, that no distinction would be made between them and An- | napolis men who spend four years studying for a similar commission. Rear Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, told the ycung officers, “You are joining a fast- movng, hard-hitting team,” and added, “You will make the grade upon your ef- | forts and not because you come from any | certain school.” THE KEY WEST CITIZEN THANKSGIVING, 1940 THURSDAY NOVEMBE WOMAN'S CORNER (By The Associated Press Feature Service) ‘LITTLE’ DRESS DRESSED UP A MAKES By AMY “Big” evenings are something to look forward to. It’s fun te make yourself as glamorous as possible in a formal gown cut to here, fun to go out with an es- cort who looks his handsomest in white tie and tails. But when it comes to remem- bering, don’t you find that cer- tain “little” evenings rank right jup with the best of them? The ‘evening you met a man you really liked, or that time some people dropped in and you had an impromptu party that was more fun than if you'd tried to plan it that way? For these not-so-formal times it’s extremely important to look your best—and somewhat differ- ent from your daytime self. When you are planning your holiday wardrobe, you'll want to think a lot about “little” dresses, for even through the holidays there are more little than big oc- U. S.
