(fe was the composer of songs of senti- mert like “Old Kentucky Home,” “Swanee River,” “Old Black Joe,” “O Susanna,” and many others of equal tune of melody, and since fame is simply the esteem of the , greatest number, this folk-song writer is entitled to a place among the other great ncw enshrined.

Executive session of the county com- mission this coming Wednesday evening bids fair to take high honors as the most important meeting of the week, if not for a longer period. At it, the subject of es- tablishment of an army sub-airbase for Boca Chica key is going to be discussed and final plans will be laid to prepare the prceject for Federal authorities. At this writing, two land-owners— one of them a mortgage holder, have’still THE KEY WEST CITIZEN BAD NEWS refused to indicate approval of the com- |; mission’s fcir and liberal price of $35.00 per acre. But for that circumstance, the whole 994-acre parcel desired by Civil Aeronautics Authority and the U. S. Army for the airport, would be ready for ex- change action—deeding of land to the C. A. A., with construction work to start im- mediately. All that could be done, aiming to- wards completion of the land purchase and deliverance to the sponsors of the project has been dcne.

As pointed out before— scch action will work an unfair hardship on the great majority which has expressed speedy satisfaction to the premium terms The whole parcel will be pur- chased, in condemnation, at a much lower price than the first price granted, land valuations being what they are at present. Nevertheless, it is believed entirely probable that the commissioners will or- der condemnation proceedings, if, between now and the executive session, no change has come in the status of those who are not cooperating. The worth to the whole community of this airport—with its promise of many thousands of dollars ezch month of addi- ticnal income to the city—is too great to have the action of a mighty small minority work to upset the whole project. It may be that sacrifices of a sort may be the wisest course to fcllow—in order that the be fe) quoted. wishes of the great majority may re- spected. We say again—let’s hope for no con- demnation But regardless—we must have the airport. Z order. WEDDED LIVE LONGER It seems to have been quite thoroughly established that married persons _ live longer than the unmarried, and this is es- pecially true of men. The fact is borne out by an exhaustive survey by one of the coun- try’s largest life insurance companies. During the period covered by the sur- vey the company’s actuaries found that while the risk of death varies greatly among the single, the married and the widowed, one rule holds good consistently, thet the married male is favored over the unmarried in the matter of long life. In fact, it is stated that between the ages of 30 and 45 the mortality rate among married men is less than half of that among those who are single. i Married women, too, as a_ rule live longer than their unmarried sisters, but the difference is not so marked as in the case of men. The death rate at ages be- tween 30 and 6 about 10 per cent less for married than for single women. Young wives, however, at ages from 20 ¢» 24 show a mortality rate slightly bicher than that for single wom: 1 of the ne ages. This is due, per’ aps, to the hazards of bearing children. The foregoing findings, it is said, are in keeping with the experiences of other insurance companies which have made similar surveys from t'me to time. PEACEBURG VANISHES “Peaceburg,” says a news story, “will be wiped off the map. . .” This is not an allegory although it describes very well what is happening throughout the world. Actually, a tiny hamlet in Alabama is to be moved in order that the army will have possession of a 25,000-acre manoeuvring ground, in which big guns can blaze without endangering human life. Already the government is buying the land in the area, asking nearly 1,500 per- sons to sell their property and move out. When the inhabitants of Peaceburg, and surrounding farmers are safe, the cannon | and mortars will begin to speak. FOR HIMI ° AR, AW AX N By HUGO S. SIMS. Special Washington Cortespendent of The Citizen F.D.R.'S FOREIGN POLICY O.K.'D BY MR. WILLKIE AID TO THE BRITISH HELP FOR THE CHINESE NO APPEASEMENT NEUTRALITY ABANDONED THE RISK OF WAR BRITISH RESISTANCE The reasonable presumption, in view of the re-election of Presi- dent Roosevelt, is that the atten- tion of the people of this coun- try, during the next year or so, will be directed to problems ot international affairs. Domestic issues have receded somewhat to the background. This is not due sclely to the dec- laration of the P. ent that the era of reform is over, but also to the fact that Mr.Willkie, the Republican candidate for President, pointedly accepted” as “national policies” most of the basic reforms of the past few years. The Republican -nominee en- dorsed the policy of providing farmers with a fair share of the “national income, the right of la- bor to collective bargaining under its free choice, the floor to wages and the limit to hours of labor and social security, including old-age pensions, care for the un- employed, Federal relief and for the aged, the sick, the physi- cally handicapped and the blind. The attitude taken by Mr. Will- kie’s position, however, indicates that opponents of these policies have lost their battle. Moreover, his stand will undoubtedly have considerable influence upon the Republican Party, as a whole, which will hardly commit the Party to an attitude which the leader is opposed to. Insofar as the isgues in the re- cent political campaign related to \foreign affairs, it should be not- ed that. in this field, the position taken by the Republiean nominee was closely allied to that espous- ed by President Roosevelt. Mr. Willkie endorsed greater assist- ance to Great Britain, the exten- sion of aid to China and a policy of firmness, without appease- ment, to nations. Consequently, it may be asser- ted, without any form of politi- cal partisanship. that the foreign noliev of the Administration has the endorsement of the vast ma- jority of the people of this coun- try. é Of course, in this connection, | there is a small minoritv, scat- tered through both parties, which opposes the foreign policy ofthe United States and which;-seem- ingly, tends to support.an ap peasement program. While scat- tered advocates of “isolation” are still alive in the Republic, the policy of isolation has been of- ficially dropped by the leaders of both parties. For many years, after the World War, the United States was firmly committed to a policy of absolute neutrality. regard- jless of the issues which might | Produce a conflict between other ‘powers. This policy also included diastie Yegulations designed to prevent the Uniiead States, or its citizens, from becoming in- volved in the exigencies of an emergency anywhere in the world. Moreover, lest the trade of this country become involved into assistance to one side or an- other. there were statutes to rrevent such a development. When the present war between Germany and Great Britain be- gan, the idea of neutrality and isolation was still strong thru- out the nation. the war con- tinued abroad, however, and be- ‘came interwined with the hos- tilities in the Far East, the senti- ment of our people underwent a great change which was reflected ed in the policies of the Govern- ment. Thus, today, the nation follows a policy of non-belligerency but ‘not a policy of strict neutrality. *As a nation, the sentiment of our ple is overwhelmingly on. the side of Great Britain and as a gov- ernment we extend every possible assitance, short of war, to enable the British to win their fight against the aggressors. This policy, it should be remem- -bered, is that of the present Ad- ministration, but it bears the en- dorsement of Mr. Wilkie, the presidential candidate of the Re- publican Party. . Rebardless of the outcome of ithe recent election, the President of the United States would stand committed to a continuation of this peli Such risks as may accom- pany it would have been accepted as willingly by Mr. Willkie as they have been accepted by President Roosevelt. Conse- quently, we have been unabla to follow the reasoning of those who have asserted that a vote for the reelection of Mr. Roose- elt represented a vote for war. Since it may be said now, with- out any suspicion of political propaganda ‘and without effect reiterate the thought that the auestion for war or peace for the United States depends, not upon ;who sits in the White House, but upon the reaction of Germany, Italy and Japan to the establish- ed and accepted policies of this | Republic. ‘So long as Great Britain con- against Germany, there is little prospect that Herr Hitler will pick a quarrel with the United States. So long as China con- tinues tOvengage the Japanese Army ittsthe Far East and Rus- sia sits Swilenly on the side lines, the Japafiese are not going to pick a fight with this country. Should the British defense col- apse, gt, Russia enter, inte. a pact ‘with Germany and Japan, there ‘is sorhe prospect that Germany and Japan will exhibit their dis- ‘pleasure, but, it wouldsbe doubt- ful whether, even then, either would court a hostile clash with the United States. Only the com- plete collapse of British resist- ance will pave the wav for a to- jtalitarian advance against us. This being the situation in the international field, and we be- lieve it truly represents the out- look for the United States, the policy of fion-belligerency, in- cluding all possible assistance to jGreat Britain is warranted, not WOMAN’S CORNER (Associated Press Feature Service) SELECT DRAPES TO SET OFF BLONDE HAIR By BETTY CLARKE Time was when all you con- hair, black sidered probably was the color-of cause your your hair (and maybe your eyes) sponds in tor in buying the right color clothes.

One new dress-up dress seems an essential for Christmas—eith- er day or evening, depending on which will be more useful. The newest evening dresses, seen at recent New York open- ings, are the bouffant taffetas in dark colors—plum, dark red, dark green, black—with glittering bead and sequin trim. All white and all black hold their own as usual, espetially in jerseys, and these too have some sort of glit- ter about them—beaded belts, or gilt-edged jackets. Color is the thing in dress-up daytime dresses, and black is ac- ceptable only when very much high-lighted with bright acces- sories. Red is seen again and again, ranging from brilliant flame to deep garnet. Newest looking are the pastels in sheer wools, draped and molded as gracefully as silk. Pastel plaid suits ,being introduced for re- sort wear, will be seen up north around Christmas time, toc. Neither a day nor an evening dress-up dress can look its best witheut costume jewelry. This is the season when an ear looks positively naked without an ear- ring. and a wrist looks bare and cold without a great chunk of a bracelet.
